|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Big It Up | 3:48 | |
1) Original Version - 3:49 - fun, fluffy pop.
2) D-Bop's Chocolate Vocal Edit - 4:28 - this remix is a lot faster than the original and would have been great for club use if it was not edited into a 4 and a half minute tease. Geri's vocals are kept intact which makes this a great sing-a-long song.
3) Trouser Enthusiasts Edit - 6:09 - No vocals. Just beats. You would have no idea that this was Geri Halliwell. The Trouser Enthiusiasts remixes are usually quite long and maybe on the full length remix Geri's vocals are included, but you will find none on this version.
4) Yomanda Edit - 5:14 - Another remix that's missing Geri. The only line in this song is "Who's wearing the trousers now?", which is repeated ad nauseum over a really bouncy, loopy beat. The music is a little bit spinny and crazy, but kind of fun at the same time.
So, if you are looking for some Geri remixes that have no vocals, these are the ones for you, if not, I suggest you pick up any of her other singles, for they all have worthy remixes.
Sure, don't get me wrong, Bag It Up is a great club smash, but remixes are for one reason, to add something to the original. Sure, D-Bop's Chocolate Vocal Edit spiced up the original, but did that by speeding it up, would have been great for club play if it were just a couple of minutes longer. The Trouser Enthusiastics Edit is just that...Geri chanting "Who's wearing the trousers now?" And then we end up with the last remix which is just music.
Sure, if you love club music, and vocals mean little if anything to you then you have found the perfect CD. However, Geri finds herself in a demix of a great remix possibility (much like Madonna with American Pie!).
Geri will certainly bring us more hits, and with those hits will come more remixes but please let someone take them and mold them, add to them, not take away.
