I do like the remix version, catchy and dancey, and I think thats barney saying "fuck it" repetedly, but repetitive all the way through. The album version track 1, really kicks it in gear and is fun to listen to, so thats my choice.

BTW, what is the confusion? On the remix, its labelled, "album version" but it is clearly the remix, the album version is definately track 1 off Twisted Tenderness.

Never heard the remix and wouldnt know where to get hold of it. So it would have to be album version for me.

The remix is on the US album. But its not the Ice T sampled mix.

If the title of the thread had been "Make It Happen" (I don't know the song *that* well to know that "part of a broken man" *might* be some of the lyrics?), then maybe more people would have replied? :shrug:

:smoking:

Oh, and besides, there isn't much (yet!) happening out there in solo-project land to warrant that many posts here! :p

I don't know what to say. After years of knowing the song, I have yet to like it. Sorry.

Indeed!

"Part of a broken man" is indeed part, er of the Make It Happen lyrics; probably would've been better naming the poll after the track itself as Nick has already pointed out. Personally, I really like both versions although the original album/promo Ice-T version edges it for me; brilliant track.

IMO it's the last Electronic effort where they really took a risk and merged loads of different musical styles into one 8 minute bucketload of energy. Even though I (just) prefer Monaco, Make It Happen is probably more exciting than anything from their second album.

The Darren Price remix is really good as well... shortens the song slightly, beefs up the breakbeats and adds ambient strings in the background. The voice that sounds like it's saying "crush it" at the start sounds more like Ice-T than Bernard to me.

Should've been a single :thumb: I think it was actually slated as the first single at the time but Vivid was released in the end.

The ultra cool 10" clear promo was as close as MIH got:
