Here’s a little something for all the electronic dance music lovers for Valentine’s Day – the track that, arguably, started it all, the Donna Summer + Giorgio Moroder classic I Feel Love.
It’s hard to imagine how futuristic I Feel Love must have sounded when it was released in 1977 – with its driving Moog basslines and electornic drums, sexy vocals and ethereal chorus. But it still sounds amazing after 35 years.
I Feel Love has been covered and remixed hundreds of times. Here are a few examples:

Here’s an effervescent version of I Feel Love by Blue Man Group & Venus Hum.
If you were thinking that I Feel Love needed more falsetto boys, try Marc Almond & Jimmy Somerville‘s take on for size.

Even the Red Hot Chili Peppers love I Feel Love.
