Music video

"Humpin' Around" is a song by American singerBobby Brown. The song contains aninterpolation of "Dancing Days" byLed Zeppelin.^{[citation needed]} Released in July 1992 byMCA, "Humpin' Around" spent two weeks at number one on the USBillboardHot R&B Singles chart and reached number three on theBillboard Hot 100. Worldwide, the single reached number one in Australia, number two in New Zealand, number five in Spain and Sweden, and the top 10 in at least seven other countries.

In 1995, Britishelectronic music groupK-Klass remixed the song and released it following the success of their remix of Brown's "Two Can Play That Game". This new version saw the song reach the UK top 10 for the first time, peaking at number eight on theUK Singles Chart, and it was also included on Brown's 1995 remix album,Two Can Play That Game.

Critical reception

[edit]

In 1995,James Hamilton from British magazineMusic Week'sRM Dance Update described theK-Klass remix as a "three years old hit totally revamped as a superb melodically whinedMichael Jackson-ish strider".^[2] Gina Morris fromSmash Hits gave it three out of five, writing, "No worries, you can't go wrong with luminous feel-good pop and thumpingbreakbeats. Plus there's loads of funky remixes on the CD too, wheeling the whole thing in at over 30 minutes long. Bargain!"^[3]

Music videos

[edit]

The music video for the song features Brown dancing outside with women in cages, with cut scenes of a girl trying to break in to his phone and personal belongings to find his mistress in NYC. A second video was shot primarily outside for the dance remix, along with random shots and outtakes from the original video.
