  3:36   (5-Nov-1986)   119 BPM   {remix: Shep Pettibone}
Compared with UK 7-inch: Intro is half bar (2 beat) snare fill, instead of 4 bars (3 bar synth bass + 1 bar snare fill); and, between the second and final chorus, bridge is 12 bars: 4 bass guitar, 4 motif, 4 synth swell, instead of mostly percussive 12.5 bar bridge on UK version. (Sometimes called Canadian 7-inch version/edit.)

Same as US 7-inch version, but with fade out, and has 8-bar instrumental bridge instead of 12, omitting last 4 bars with synth swell. (Sometimes called "Threesome version" due it its eventual inclusion on that soundtrack, in 1994.)

CD


  3:51   (23-May-1989)   119 BPM   {remix: Shep Pettibone}
Intro is the 12-inch, up until where the hi-hats would start; then the same as the UK 7-inch starting from the snare fill. Also, 16.5 beats during the instrumental bridge, from 2:40 to 2:49, are replaced by a short acted scene with no music. (The official version on YouTube, unlike previously released versions, badly replaces the first 4 bars of kick drum and with the 3-bar synth bass intro from the 7-inch, by repeating the first bar twice.)
