Released on:
The Mello Hippo Disco Show
Runtime: 3:39
With ‘Yo-Yo‘ effectively being the A-side to the CD single of ‘The Mello Hippo Disco Show’, it makes sense as a choice for a radio edit. It’s not the most subtle edit, simply cutting the track at 2:46 and bolting on the chorus and outro. One of those tracks that’s little more than a curio, when it comes to listening as a fan.
