привычный вариант который обычно крутили у нас по ТВ
From Wikipedia: The song is a popular gay anthem and was a huge commercial success, reaching number 3 in the band's native UK. As well, it was a number one hit in Holland and Italy, and hit the top 10 in Austraila, Canada, France, and Switzerland. Perhaps due to its openly pro-homosexual theme, the track only reached number 48 in the U.S. pop charts, although it was a #1 U.S. dance hit.
Мне вот интересно в чем феномен этой песни в преломлении демонстрации к ней другими исполнителями любви (в частности метал- и рок- исполнителей):
