29 Years On: 'I Feel Love'

  • July 24, 2006
  • Popjustice

29 years ago today, Donna Summer's 'I Feel Love' went to Number One in the UK.

If you think that in the entire history of recorded sound there are any more than eight songs better than 'I Feel Love' you are, frankly, a fool to yourself.

Let's hit YouTube for some 'I Feel Love' action.

The literally quite amazing original version by Donna Summer

Donna Summer per­form­ing 'I Feel Love' in Belgium last year

Madonna per­form­ing 'Future Lovers' then it going into 'I Feel Love'

Dana International per­form­ing 'I Feel Love' with all the subtlety of Chico at a hen party

Bronski Beat and Marc Almond doing 'I Feel Love' and some other songs in the same song

Blue Man Group banging through 'I Feel Love' with that woman out of Venus Hum

Dallas Superstar rein­vent­ing 'I Feel Love' as a blippy sort of rave anthem

Something terrible involving a band who may or may not be Red Hot Chili Peppers

Vanessa Mae's actually-quite-good stab at 'I Feel Love'

This one isn't very good

This is just stupid

Literally amazing.
