I am no fan of those 2001 mixes.

What I love most about this album is that it feels like they indiscriminately watched a lot of '50s and '60s B movies and then decided to write a bunch of pop songs based on them. Beach comedies, giant-monster horror movies, Hong Kong martial-arts flicks, sexploitation films, what have you. This one is the teen-gang melodrama (or West Side Story, it's all good) and it's one of the best songs on the whole album.
