Fresh from co-presenting Eurovision’s Greatest Hits, Graham Norton premiered a new dance remix version of Electro Velvet’s song “Still in Love with You” on his BBC Radio 2 show. It’s taken the 1920’s-inspired electro swing song kicking and screaming into the 21st century.
The violins are still there, but the bass has been given a turbo boost. Most of the song lyrics have been cut, making it a largely instrumental track. The backing singers are still put to use with their frequent demands that “everybody dance”, while Alex and Bianca’s occasional vocal snippets have been given a robotic sound.
The combination of violins and dance beats makes the song vaguely reminiscent of the Rednex bluegrass techno sound of the ’90s. It’s a fun enough dance track, but we can’t help wonder if it’s stealing the thunder of the original song, which is pretty danceable in its original form.
Electro Velvet – “Still In Love With You” (Lone Sharx Remix)
Electro Velvet live at Eurovision’s Greatest Hits
What do you think of the dance remix of “Still in Love with You”? Is it still sounding good, sugar? Would you dance to this at the Euroclub? Or would you rather have a knees-up to the original version?
UK still needs to do better. Considering the 90s feel of the remix, they just made the same mistake as Moldova’s initial mistake of sending in a 90s pop-ish song as an entry this year. At least its better than the snooze fest that is the studio version of the UK entry.
Not many remixes are at least half as good as the original version. This one definately is! My body is shaking! Yeah 🙂 As opposed to many fans here, I love this year’s British entry. It is funny and catchy. Please, let’s not be so serious! Such not very ambitious songs are also needed at Eurovision. All should admit that it is quite clever. My guilty pleasure. One more thing. I would never compare it with the hilarious UK’s songs from 2003, 2006, 2007, 2010. It is not that case!
My favourite has got to be Slovenia great song great singer a country that’s never won but deserves to win and sould do if we don’t have political voting ie scandavia baltics Ireland and uk oh and the East Russia Belarus Azerbaijan Georgia Moldova Romania good thing is Cyprus won’t qualify so 12 points to Greece so 12 points from Greece to Azerbaijan problem with the contest now is countries voting for neighbours and not the song Austria was lucky last year because sensible countries voted for the song and not there neighbours betting Denmark 12 to Iceland Sweden 12… Read more »
Il deserve a pat on back for trying something different if they where to win best place to host Sheffield home of the greatest game football
fvgbhjnkm, maybe you should work as a fortuneteller. I’m impressed you already know which place Spain will get this year. Now who is naive? Anyway, love Electro Velvet, love their video and love the remix. Go, UK, go!

This video version is way better!
*Still In Love With You* <3
That was rough day for me here on wiwibloggs…
Good night folks… 🙂
Tomorrow will be better day hopefully.. <3 🙂
Well its not worth it at all to talk with you about what i do and what i don’t..
Keep thinking whatever you want for me..
Bye..
I will revert back to my old name now that you have accepted… But that’s the issue, you don’t care about others, and spout off stupid comments about sexuality which is unrelated to ESC and the website… I do not wish to be offensive towards you. Enjoy the season!
I absolutely don’t care at all about your actual opinion.. 🙂
OK…As u wish…You can keep your straight Vision nickname then..
I really don’t mind this as long as you won’t be offensive towards me..
Just do whatever u want ”pal”..! xx 🙂
Me doing this Mario.. Is no different to you doing what you are. People who are gay and straight are equal. I don’t like your comments saying that ESC is *gay* <3 😀 it has a large gay following, but in no way is it exclusively gay. My issue is not with your name. But some comments you make saying certain people must be gay both commented here and NF contenders just because they are a part of *THE VISION* and are a fan of the show, is wrong. I take your warning, and kindly discard it. 🙂
@ Hey i really do not mind though impersonator of me that you troll against me with having your straight version of Vision of Love…Good for you i guess..
BUT..
If i see though that either your nickname or your comments are offensive & provocative towards me im gonna ask / request for the wiwi bloggs admins to BLOCK you from the site…
So you better take this as a warning….X
This is great – nice 2C it from a different angle. It really intensifies THE electro pop violin element of the song. <3 😀
I simply LOVE the remix. Let’s dance!!!
@ Yes…Denmark if would win in Vienna {that i highly much doubt about that though..}
the 61st EuroVision would not get hosted in Copenhagen again..
The town of *Herning*{that Emmelie won the Dansk Grand Prix there} would be the big hot favorite to win the bid and the Danes defintely wouldn’t want to invest so much money again as they did last year….It would be a small budget EuroVision..
@ fvgbhjnkm
Hey what r you talking about…?
You misunderstood my stupid (as u claim) comment..
I just wrote the 11 cities / towns that i personally want/desire to be the hosts of the 61st EuroVision..
These 11 countries have real serious chances of winning the EuroVision of Vienna 4 me..
@- you could’ve put a little thought into it at least. For example, if Denmark were to win- unrealistic as it is- Copenhagen would most definitely not host. The city overspent a lot on the contest. If you’re going to make up a list, at least have some reason to your choice other than “it’s a capital”. It clearly doesn’t apply in all cases.
Mario My Vision of Gay Love,about Bergen can also host if Norway win her 4th victory.I say it again,if!!!!
And you know that I like non-favorites,such as Poland ,Czech Republic,Hungary,Cyprus and San Marino?
Britney,I’m not have favorite and I put capital cities because the winner most host in capital city,and I hate it you know.About ‘It’s possible’ it’s what world thinks no what I’m think.
It will be drawn second and finish 27th
List of capital cities in Europe??? Omg, some readers need really help.
Btw Spain will be typical song like Sweden 2008, loved by ESC fans, not loved by Europe. It will be 15th-20th place, don’t be naive.
I know this is not toppic of this article, but I wanted to react on second comment, which is really very stupid. It is list of capital cities in Europe, nothing more. Absolut s*it.
Hey…Member with the nickname –
The cities that are hot favorites to host the 61st Vision according to their hot favorites songs that are much likely to win the 60th Diamond Vision of Vienna are..
*11* Eleven..
~ *STOCKHOLM* 2016 Sweden
~ *TALIN* 2016 Estonia
~ *ROME* 2016 Italy
~ *PARIS* 2016 France
~ *BERGEN* 2016 Norway
~ *TBILISI* 2016 Georgia
~ *VALETTA* 2016 Malta
~ *MADRID* 2016 Spain
~ *REYKIAVIC* 2016 Iceland
~ *BUDAPEST* 2016 Hungary
~ *LJUBLJANA* 2016 Slovenia
The feeling that there was with the UK entries of 2013 with Bonnie Tyler & last year ith Molly that was hyped as the hot favorite to win in Copenhagen {it was my personal number 1 most liked song even} were so much different than the one i have 4 the UK entry of 2015..
4 me UK is from the countries that have negative impact to me unfortunately..
@- why do you put “it’s possible” behind few leader countries? Anything could happen and some of non-favorites can win as well. And why you put only capital cities?
I like original version better and I’m really hoping there will be trap remix of this song.
This is the cities where can be host if the country win: Reykjavik 2016 (Iceland) Dublin 2016 (Ireland) London 2016 (United Kingdom) Copenhagen 2016 (Denmark) Oslo 2016 (Norway) Stockholm 2016 (Sweden) Helsinki 2016 (Finland) Moscow 2016 (Russia) Tallinn 2016 (Estonia) It’s possible Riga 2016 (Latvia) Vilnius 2016 (Lithuania) Warsaw 2016 (Poland) Berlin 2016 (Germany) Amsterdam 2016 (The Netherlands) Brussels 2016 (Belgium) Paris 2016 (France) Madrid 2016 (Spain) It’s possible Lisbon 2016 (Portugal) Bern 2016 (Switzerland) Vienna 2016 (Austria) Rome 2016 (Italy) It’s possible San Marino 2016 (San Marino) Valletta 2016 (Malta) Ljubljana 2016 (Slovenia) Podgorica 2016 (Montenegro) Belgrade 2016 (Serbia)… Read more »
The remix is BRUTAL. After “Sounding Good, Sugar”, I just cringed. Yeesh.
Call me dated and say that Kitty Brucknell won’t like me, but I HATE remixes. It’s just music notes fed into a computer and it just spits out any old shite. You only have to hear the Little Einsteins remix and a few others, Non Eurovision and Eurovision, to get where I am coming from. Music has to be artistic, not technological.
Maybe I’m “uncool” and “stuck behind time”, but I don’t like club remixes. Then again, I don’t like partying.
