[2] Co-produced by Inga Humpe and Sebastian Roth (real name of SWS), who also wrote it, the song became a Europe-wide hit, reaching number-one in Austria, Finland, Lithuania and Spain.
[22] Simon Price from Melody Maker named it Single of the Week, noting that it "evokes distilled essence of Army of Lovers/'I'm Too Sexy'/Sexus/'Tainted Love'".
"[23] In a separate review, Price praised it as "four minutes of butt-slapping, operatic, Hi-NRG Euro-genius, and an instant Number One in every region of the EU from the naughty north to the sexy south...with the bizarre irony that many millions of our continental comraded didn't even realise what the lyrics were prodding towards.
"[24] A reviewer from Music Week gave it four out of five, saying, "This year's red hot record in the European holiday resorts is a feast of sleazy camp.
He also added that the George Morel remix "wisely keeps the vocals and whoops things up into a tamer version of Armand van Helden's 'Witch Doctor'.
A skinny Romosexual, electric blue, no, shocking pink, no, custard blond hair smeared in the style of the Twenties around a face of bone china, gazing into the camera with kohled eyes and, in perfect TEFL-elocuted Euro-English, imploring you: SHUT UP...AND SLEEP WITH ME.
