"Hug My Soul" is a single by British band Saint Etienne. It was the third single from the album ''Tiger Bay'', and was released by Heavenly Records. It was written by vocalist Sarah Cracknell along with songwriting partners Guy Batson and Johnny Male (Male and Batson would help co-write a number of tracks on Cracknell's solo debut ''Lipslide''). The single was released with three B-sides written by Saint Etienne's songwriting partnership of Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs: "I Buy American Records", "Hate Your Drug" and "La Poupee Qui Fait Non (No, No, No)". The latter was produced by the band's friend (and future Heavenly label mate) Edwyn Collins. A second CD featured remixes by Motiv8, Secret Knowledge, Juan "Kinky" Hernandez and Sure is Pure. It reached #32 in the UK charts. This would be Saint Etienne's final release for Warner Bros. Follow up single "He's on the Phone" would be released on MCA Records, lifted from a dance compilation album called ''Life is a Dance''. The US releases included a number of exclusive remixes - including an alternate album version (which was released as a bonus track on the US version of ''Tiger Bay''), a Motiv-8 dub, and the On Tour In '94 dub. The song bears a resemblance to the 70s disco hit More, More, More by Andrea True Connection. In particular, the phrasing of the "More More More" lyric "Ooh, how do you like your love?" is identical to the "Hug My Soul" lyric "Ooh, what are you dreaming of?", and both lyrics are the opening to each of their representative songs. ==Marketing== The UK release featured cover art involving a photograph of abandoned musical instruments. The US release features a photograph of the band. The single was marketed with a surreal video, in which Sarah Cracknell plays a young girl asleep with her stuffed toys; she dreams of being chased by a bear, but ultimately ends up having jelly and ice cream with him in his den. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hug My Soul」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
