Story
Released at Back in Time Live 3 as a surprise. The whole surprise was that we also had made a video for it. The video is a boyband spoof and quickly became sort of an internet craze and our ISPs got pretty stressed the following week. The tune is mastered and mixed by Søren Trautner Madsen (trauma) and main parts sung by Søren & André, while Martin did a backing track and Theo did a bass and falsetto backing track. The video was featuring all in the band, and edited and directed by Theo.

Shouts
rochus shouts:
Funny parody of typical boygroup songs. Great!
allannoe shouts:
PPOT I Love your work!
cheetor shouts:
Got to be my all time favourite C64 remix EVER!
Waz shouts:
One of the classic C64 remixes, and with good reason. Cleverly mixing Backstreet Boys with Martin Galway shouldn't work, but it does!
anaconda shouts:
THE best production from PPOT and one of the best remakes of Comic bakery!
omoroca shouts:
I *shamefully* admit I'm maybe the only male Backstreet Boys fan in the world. So I can say, this remix is really larger than life! Well done! I especially like how the AJ "hahahaaaha" sample works with the Galway melody. Added to my collection.
brix shouts:
Great Partymusic! One of my very favourites and the video is just awesome.
nicodaemus shouts:
And I even hate that boygroup-shit.
MORBID shouts:
I hate this faggot-boygroup-crap, too! But this remix is just great!
plokolp shouts:
Awesome!
Nebdar shouts:
Yes this should be an official site song. It is jsut the best from the best. Outstanding idea outstanding performance
NecroPolo shouts:
Watch the video and make your day :D
Hamlet shouts:
Per Hollywood love is defined as total dependence. Like a baby or a drug addict.. The singing kills it for good. The greatest atrocity: Auto-Tune.
Melaure shouts:
Excellent!
uanito shouts:
Funny
Ryrynz shouts:

You're the best! I just love you, from the deepest of my heart! You've made my day, no, you've made my summer sunny sunny you're in my heart, ha ha haaa ha! This remix should be the mandatory first one to listen to for _any_ person visiting the realms of C64-remixing! Not everybody will enjoy the style or the performance, but this is a remix that _everybody_ get feelings for or against. And it is _the remix_ that is closest to real life, where at least I get a feeling that we C64RMX-nerds maybe have a little part of this thing called the world! If you, yes -you- reading this review haven't seen the video that PressPlayOnTape did for this song, then HURRY!!! Find it, get it, see it and show it to your grandmother before it's too late! Thanks Søren and Theo, this made my summer a bright and shiny one! / Pex Mahoney Tufvesson

You have to admire their balls in doing this cover now! Thankfully it works on all levels, even if the lyrics are a little cheesy (but what songs today aren't?).

There are so many reviews now, I can just say: This remix kicks ass. And if you have not seen the video, you missed a lot

Gosh - I haven't written a review of this… Hmmm. I'll start by saying I'm not really a fan of the pop music genre, but am prepared to accept the odd catchy pop ditty that takes a fancy for me. On first hearing it my thoughts were "very professional" and "they've done a great parody". But the more I listen the more I enjoy, and it's got to the point now where I laugh at the lyrics of the original because they sound 'wrong'. I often like to take a while to write a review because opinions can change, and that is certainly true of this tune. Brilliant stuff boys, even without the brilliant video this is still a superb and hugely professional piece of pop - and it has everything and more to make a great catchy track… Now IS the time to say how much I really love this!
