U Sure Do

"U Sure Do" is a song by British electronic dance music band Strike. Released in December 1994, it was Strike's second single and reached number 31 in the UK charts. The song was a big UK club hit and after receiving regular play in clubs throughout 1994/1995 it was re-released and re-entered the chart in April 1995 reaching number 4. It also peaked at number-one on the UK Dance Singles Chart. In other countries, "U Sure Do" peaked within the top 10 in Australia and Scotland, and the top 20 in Ireland, Israel, Italy and the Netherlands. The track samples Donna Allen's "Serious" for the vocal, and Cubic 22's "Night in Motion" for the main synth. In 1999, it was remixed and released as "U Sure Do '99". This version peaked at number 53 in the UK. In 2006, it was remixed a third time and released to a handful of DJs solely for club use. MTV Dance ranked "U Sure Do" at number 45 in their list of 'The 100 Biggest 90's Dance Anthems of All Time' in 2011.[1]

Critical reception

Music & Media wrote about the song: "The keyboard intro could've been Todd Rundgren's 'Can We Still Be Friends' at double speed. But then the enthusiastic ladies start singing their ready-to-use-on-air pop dance one liner."[2]
