Answer 1

Hi Elcycer - #2 The Troggs version because of the pace, and it's mellow/sensual. I really liked Wet Wet Wet's version until "oh yeah, babe" (seemed contrived) and overpowering guitar (I love acoustic and electric) on such a simple, gentle song seems out of place. I did like the lead singer, though. Easy on the eyes.

Sergio's was very good - if I could listen to it without looking at a very young boy, I think it would be a very close second. I'm sure he will become much better known and more successful.

Answer 2

First of all, I actually remember The Troggs version of the song and have good memories of it. Even so, I like the Wet Wet Wet version better because there's more emotion and it's sexier. The Sergio version is good, but he hardly seems old enough to have much of a concept of love.

Answer 3

The Troggs! This was the first real song I learned on guitar years ago, many years ago. DEmGC - I still remember the main verse progression.

Answer 4

wet wet wet's its the one i grew up listening. although Bill Nighy's Christmas is all around is hillarious.
