"Animal Magic" is a 1987 single by British new wave artist Belouis Some, from his 1987 self-titled second album. The song reached #6 on the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart. A popular club remix appeared on the U.S. 12" release on Capitol Records, with remix and additional production by Justin Strauss and Murray Elias.[1]

On the CD compilation Retro:Active7 - Rare & Remixed (2010), Strauss and Elias mention in the liner notes how they thought the vocal delivery of "Animal Magic" was kind of New Order-ish and that "Bizarre Love Triangle" was dominating the clubs at the time, so they tried to bring that sound to the remix.
