When I first started listening to BoC, I downloaded a few songs to see if I liked the rest of their stuff. (I bought all the CD's I could get my hands on shortly afterwards, don't worry ) I ended up downloading a version of Happy Cycling that is 5:09 long. I checked the BoC discography to see if I could find a Happy Cycling with a length similar to that, but found nothing.

The track starts out with what sounds like chanting, then a crow caws in the background and bells are heard. The chanting fades out completely by 1:07 and the rest is just like Happy Cycling off of MHTRTC, except for the fact that the change in the song on the MHTRTC version (at around 5:07) isn't in there at all. It just kind of ends before that.

Is this an official version? I checked the forum with the search function to see if this had been answered previously, but didn't bring anything up. If it's ok, I'll upload the track to Yousendit for you guys, if you haven't already heard it.

Thanks.

hmm. dont think i have heard this. could it be that there is just another track attached to it from a mix or something? could you yousendit for me to hear. would be swoit. thanks

I'm pretty sure it's either fake or a mix that blended in from the previous track. I would still like to hear it though.

Happy Cycling

Whatever it is, I really like it.

Can anyone tell what they're saying in the beginning?

This is not a different version, it's a slightly changed version taken from Kid Loco - DJ-Kicks.

Ohhhh... Thanks for clearing that up!

this might be the thread-necro of all thread-necros, but I was just trawling the older threads from days of yore out of curiosity, and i found this. i was just talking to my wife this weekend at our Inferno listening party that when i was a teen with no income trying to find more BoC on the internet in the aughts, i ended up with what turned out to be all kinds of weird versions, etc... long since lost on old hard drives

well this was one of them!! in fact, it was the one i was yearning to hear again the most, because.. well, it was the one i was most surprised by when i actually got ahold of a real CD! glad this random trip down the forum's memory lane bore fruit
