I heard their version before hearing The Isley Brothers original. Both versions are catchy as hell.

Although I'm a HUGE Isley Brothers fan ( and I might lose my Funk card for this, boxed ) I gotta admit that in this case, I actually like Wham's version better than the Isley Brothers' original...

Hah! I was talking to my brother on Christmas about this very song. He prefers the remake. I like both but prefer the original.

Y'know, I think my only problem with the original is that "galloping" percussion thing. I don't know why, but that's always kinda bothered me...
