Pixel '82 Remix
Length 6:12

This is a very annoying and repetitive dance remix, which loses
virtually all of the original music and many of the vocals.

More Older Remix
by The Glimmers
Length 6:51.
Only available on the second CD of 'Lover Of Life, Singer Of
Songs'.
Remix and additional production by The Glimmers, engineered by
Ray Mang.
This is a fairly good remix, which has a very similar feel to the
original, and adds instrumental elements from the extended
version. Unfortunately however, it loses many of the lyrics.

Hey, hey, hey....
Ooh, ooh, oooh
Hey, love can, hey, love can
Hey, hey, hey....
