Kinda groovy! From the kitchen, it made me think it might be something from Ciba Matto, the trippy duo I heard a lot of while in Tokyo...
This brings me back! Shocked at the poor rating and all the 1's on this song, I gave it a 9 just to try for some balance. It may not be the best mix, I had a CD which had 4 different mixes on it, but its still got the beat!

Wow and followed by How Soon is Now!!! Brilliant!
Great tune. Must be 34 years old now.

Marrsterful riff. 
Can we hear this again a bit sooner than 20 years from now?

Damnit... you did it too me again!!!!!!!! Stop, please... I can't stand to be teased like this!!!!!!!!!! I'm going to do this every time I hear this song! The next time I hear that riff it better be The Smiths!!!!
Damn you, Morrissey for selling the rights to HSIN!! I penalize RP 2 Smiths tunes, and one Morrissey tune... \"Ouija Board\" might be nice... :-)
ALWAYS...ALWAYS HATED THIS VERSION...you think you\'re hearing a classic Smiths\' and boom...ow....crap!!! please take off playlist, I\'m sure noone would mind!

Well said. That tantalizing intro is simply hitting below the belt, when we are then faced with the reality of the drivel that follows. C'mon, Bill, play the real one for us, please?
Worse than the sample is the fact that the singer is trying hard to sound like Terri Nunn from Berlin. (Unless it is Terri Nunn...?)

Pleasant surprise...good to hear this on RP. (pimp)

The guitar riff is a sample from The Smiths "How Soon Is Now?". Okay, just noticed that people have already answered this... ooops....

:) great song, great vocals. heard it done live on WHFS when it first came out. these chicks have alot of talent, what ever happened to them?
That\'s not a nice thing to do to a Smith\'s fan....I was all jazzed to hear How Soon is Now?, the song they are sampling btw.
Nice background noise. :D
This song just makes me want to dance!

Soho actually was the "sampler" as a matter of fact, there was a big stink when this song first came out. I think they actually banned it from radio for a short time too -- not sure of the details. But, I can tell you, this CD is one of my all time favs. If you think you want to buy it just for this song, don't --- buy it for the whole album 'cuz if ROCKS!
LOOON-A-TIC-FRINGE! Just kidding! Haven\'t heard this for a while. I used to play it on my dance radio show in college!
Well, not a bad song, but I penalize Soho 10 yards for sampling \"how soon is now\". After hearing this, I really want to hear \"how soon is now\".
One of my FAVORITE songs... "got no flowers for your gun, no hippie chick"... love it!
