This song hasn't been played in over 4 1/2 years! What's the deal? Looks like it was bashed senseless back in 2003, but I beg to differ. I think it's a fine tribute to "The Smoke-Man"...
The are so many BETTER Beat songs!!! This rendition is NOT one of their best.

If Smokey weren\' still alive, he\'d be turning over in his grave. :D
Blech! Sounds forced and hurried.
This is like Smokey\'s version on loads of caffeine 

I like the beat, but something just isn\'t quite right about this rendition...
I love Smokey\'s version better, but this is fun.
That was great!!

No, no, no, no, no, no - I only want to hear Smokey Robinson sing this one.

Well isn't that the name of the band? 
one of the great cover versions, of the great first albums, one of the great album covers - ah, my teenage years.... but do we have to keep calling them the \"english\" Beat?
