Fingolstones fans were left angry, bitter and feeling cheated when the band released Don't You want Me (Remix) as it was exactly the same song as "Don't You Want Me" with only a couple of small changes in words (to include the assistant manager John Lawson) and a slightly different tune.

The Fingolstones themselves actually preferred this version but do agree that it was short changing the fans. In 1992 Dobba was interviewed by The Melody Maker and had this to say.
"At the time we thought a remix was a good idea and spent all of 5 minutes rewriting the lyrics and tune. On reflection we should have had it remixed by a professional rather than attempting it ourselves. It was a mistake we were never to repeat"
This song also saw the last use by the band of the electronic synthesiser as they had finally come to realise that they were completely useless with it.

You were working as a barman in the Salty Club
When I met you
You picked me out, you shook me up
You turned me around
When I didn't have a clue
Now two years later on I've got the world at my feet
I'm playing centre forward for Salty
I won't forget its you who put me where I am now
But you said me first touch were faulty

Don't don't you want me
You know I can't believe it
When you say that I am piss poor
Don't don't you want me
You know I can't believe it
When you showed me out the front door

(Gior fuck leg wi that)

Don't you want me Ashton
Don't you want me Laaaawwws
Don't you want me Lard Ass
Don't you want me , of course
