As one of many highlights on the new "South Park" collection, "Horny" has the potential to be the novelty smash of the season. With lyrics that are ultra-self-explanatory, "Horny" will either bring a giddy smile or a look of disdain. While it has been wholly embraced by club pundits who tend to appreciate anything cheeky and suggestive, those at radio may find themselves more comfortable distancing themselves from it. Of course, carefree, adventurous types will see "Horny" as the best thing to come down the pike since Rice Krispies treats. Better yet, perhaps they will simply look to European radio‹which treated this as a full-fledged pop record‹and turn it into a major hit.

After being released in the U.K. nearly a year ago, this spiritual gem of a single is finally seeing the light of day here. One of many high points on the duo's delicious sophomore album, "Postcards From Heaven," "High" has been released to AC radio in its original form. For the clubs and dance radio, it has been lovingly reconstructed by two of clubland's most revered remixers: Boris Dlugosch and Francois Kevorkian. In its original state, "High" is a postcard-perfect R&B-splashed slice of pop music. In the hands of both Dlugosch and Kevorkian, it becomes an anthemic house-inflected pop song. There is just no denying the song's buoyant beats, mahogany-hued vocals, and soaring rhythms. It's one of those songs that truly deserves to be a hit at both radio and clubs. If, as Faithless proclaims, God is a
DJ, "High" is poised for much success.

You'll be in the midst of a party with this festive Latin-flavored, straight-ahead, uptempo pop track flavored by diva-esque background vocals, a saxophone, clapping, and disco-waxed guitars. The chorus comes straight out of the K.C. & the Sunshine Band era, as catchy and smile-invoking as any of those songs from seemingly simpler times. It's been a decade since the group Matt Bianco released its first single, "Get Out Of Your Lazy Bed," and the outfit sounds as fresh as if it were still reveling in the '80s. Also check out the juicy club mix and Diamond's UV Ray mix. Taken from the upcoming album "World Go Round."
