They've been remixed (or butchered, depending on your viewpoint) by different people.

One of them has a bunch of air hostess in the video.

The other has a bunch of girls in a launderette.

And both of them are crap.

and heyre both gay

no he's refering to the MP3s as the ID3 info includes a "gay" tag

Have we actually reached such a stage where we are now constantly having to re-sing and re-mix old songs?

The Boy Meets Girl version from YONKS ago is and always will be shite, and the various mixes since then have also been cheesy, shite and equisitely James Martin.

I actually hadn't noticed that they were two different songs until then.

Reminds me of the early 90's when Rednex released 'Cotton Eye Joe' and 'Old Pop in an Oak' which were pretty much the same song with different words and when they first came out you didn't notice the difference - although this is a more extreme case than that.

You'll encounter that feeling more and more the older you get; and I worked with a woman in her 60s who was quite convinced everything she heard on the radio was "stolen" from the past.

I suppose it's to be expected. There are only 8 notes in the scale. With similar rhythm and phrasing the same patterns will emerge again and again.

accodring to The Hits one is a sample (sunset strippers) the other is a cover (cabin crew) although theres not much diffrence.

The original has a definative 80's sound

I heard somewhere that the only difference was slightly different vocals. Very hard to here though.

I prefer the Sunset Strippers one myself.

I also liked the original too!

And watch who you're calling cheesy!
