Amber - "Sexual (Li Da Di)"

This one missed the top 40 by a few notches in late
1999. Does a promo CD exist? CHR played a couple of
versions.

Tommy Boy promoted the single twice. First time around, the original single version was promoted, produced by The Berman Brothers. Tommy Boy found resistance at radio because of
the song's name (how stupid is that?). I remember Amber kvetching about it, even mentioning that when Marie Osmond had her on her show, she refused to say the name of the song,
referring to the only as only Li-Da-Di. This was a grown woman with kids.

Second time around, the Thunderpuss 2000 Radio Edit was promoted as the single version. The single was not commercially re-released, but Tommy Boy pressed more copies of the
commercial single.

I'm pretty sure there are two different promo CDs.

Original Radio Edit (listed 4:38; actual 4:36) The version I recall hearing on the air is track 2 from this disc, which is the same version jimct's old station played.

Recently I've been convinced the Thunderpuss 2000 Radio Edit was played on WKTU in 1999-2000. Plus it is shorter and a far superior mix. Anyone else remember hearing this? Should have been a top 40 hit on Billboard!

Good. I thought I was going crazy remembering. Good to know you remember it did get played!
