I like it so much better. The original version did grow on me a bit, but it seemed jerky and clunky. That middle bit, "stand up and have fun," etc didn't seem, to me, like it needed to be there. It just seemed awkward. But the new version flows along great, and I could concentrate on the music more. If you listen to the music itself and ignore the words for the moment, the music is EPIC. I can imagine the instrumental version being used for all kinds of things. That's something I have always loved about Mika's music. The songs are good, but the instrumental versions of the songs have a life of their own too and can stand alone, without the words.
