Anyone else like it as much as I did? He really made it his own.

I loved it too, they should release it as a single.

I loved it along with Francis Barber's version of Friendly Fire but have always thought that her version is better than Neil's. Also loved Rent.

Yes, Rufus´vocal sounded fantastic!
Chris Heath: Why you're surfing?
Chris Lowe: Coz we can!
Neil Tennant: Exactly.

I agree. I've had a hard time with Neil singing it, but Rufus really made it something special.

Rufus was outstanding. He enhanced the lovely melody of the song.

Agreed. It's great. Is it Neil singing on the backing vocals?

I think Rufus needed to pause for breath more often! I can't believe how many lines he could sing without a breath! but his extended version of the word "erection" completely covered the "drooping" sound effect from the orchestra.

I hate it. Neil should've sung it.

Yeah, it's really good, although nothing beats PSB own version.

So do I! I love the original but his version is way better.

So you prefer Rufus's voice to Neils?
