I am trying to track down a dance tune which mixes parts of Queen's Bohemian Raspondy, esp. the bit this is the real life.
It was on MTV a couple of years ago and it had beefeaters dancing in the video.
Can anyone tell me the proper title and artist of the track please?

JOHN MELLENCAMP - THE REAL LIFE
Suzanne divorced her husband
She got the kyes to the car and the home
But her friends were really his friends
No one stops by to see her much any more
So one night she goes back down to the old haunts
That once upon a time were her own
She didn't know nobody out there no more
And the whole experience just made her feel so old
She says
CHORUS
I want to live the real life
I want to live my life close to the bone
Just because I'm middle-aged that don't mean
I want to sit around my house and watch TV
I want the real life
I want to live the real life
Jackson Jackson was a good kid
He had four years of college and a Bachelor's degree
Started workin' when he was 21
Got fed up and quit
When he was 43
He said, "My whole life
I've done what I'm supposed to do
Now I'd like to maybe do something for myself
And just as soon as I figure out what that is
You can bet your life I'm gonna give it hell."
He says
CHORUS
I guess it don't matter how old you are
Or how old one lives to be
I guess it boils down to what we did with our lives
And how e deal with our own destinies
But something happens
When you reach a certain age
Particularly to those ones that are young at heart
It's a lonely proposition when you realize
That there's less days in front of the horse
Than riding in the back of this cart
I say
CHORUS
Hope this helps????

Correct. Further Info: Raven Maize is a pseudonym used by DJ/producer Dave Lee (a.k.a. Joey Negro).
