Which mix of Pop Life do you prefer - "Extended" or "Fresh Dance"?

I like the Extended mix of course, but I can't help but the lament the exclusion of the nursery rhyme-esque part of the Fresh Dance Mix at 3:47.

I love that smile

Good question. I like 'em both, personally.

The extended version definitely. It's truer and doesn't sound like a remix.

As for the "nursery rhyme-esque" aspect of the 'Fresh Dance Mix', the Parade Tour live version of 'Pop Life' (dig out your tapes) offers a much more enjoyable alternative than the one on the record.

The vocal harmonies were much more interesting and varied in that live setting than they were on the 'Fresh Dance Mix' version of 'Pop Life'.

wasn't the fresh dance mix just the extended cut a bit with a flange stuck on?

I like both alot.

I only in the last year or so ever realised that the "Extended" version was not the same as the "Fresh Dance Mix".

I would have to say, I like the extended one a little better. More lyrics, longer.

The extended version.
Nice extra lyrics, no "breaking glass" soundeffects and very nice piano work at the end.
