"In 1985, the Her Madgesty released a song that made me want to dance, sing and get up and do my thing," Hayes writes on his MySpace blog. "In celebration of the Queen's show in London this week Justin Shave and I recorded a studio version based on an original tour demo floating around from the Reinvention Tour era that I believe was scrapped. My vocals pay homage to the way the Boy Toy adlibed them during the Virgin Tour."

Hayes called me a couple of weeks ago and said that fans will have to wait for original new material for "a few years." That's too bad. Fortunately, this revamp of a pop classic makes up for that disappointment a thousand times over. It's pure nostalgia.
