February 12Feb 12 Interesting the two versions of Seal's 'Killer', the Trevor Horn one doesn't deviate that much from the Adamski one in melodies.Interestingly, the ATB cover in 2000 has two versions too, I prefer the one with the iconic bassline intact. Edited February 12Feb 12 by TheSnake

The list on wiki was showing Do You Really Want Me as 1995 but it wasn't a hit in the UK until 1998.
