Sometimes songs return to my consciousness in the most unusual ways.

Yesterday at work, for example, I attended a vendor presentation that began with a highlight reel scored to the Utah Saints‘ early ’90s dance classic, “What Can You Do For Me.” Fantastic to hear it again, for sure, but in such a unexpected context.

The keen-eared among you (or anyone intimately familiar with the Utah Saints’ ouevre) might be able to name at least two of the three samples used in the track: Eurythmics’ “There Must Be An Angel (Playing With My Heart),” Gwen Guthrie’s “Ain’t Nothing Goin’ On But The Rent,” and KISS’ Alive II. The techno-rave duo of Jez Willis and Tim Garbutt crossed paths with Annie Lennox again just a couple of years later, when Utah Saints remixed her “Little Bird.”

“What Can You Do For Me,” the first single from Utah Saints’ self-titled debut, reached #10 in the UK. The track originally appeared on the U.S. dance chart in December 1991, topping out at #32. But in the spring of 1993, the Saints marched back in for a second, much more successful run. On June 12, 1993 — 16 years ago this very day — the band took “What Can You Do For Me” to #3. That, I guess, was the best we could do for them.

Willis and Garbutt recorded only sporadically; after releasing just two albums and a handful of singles between 1992 and 2000, the duo went dormant in 2002. But in January 2008, the Utah Saints resurfaced with a new version of 1992’s “Something Good,” initiated after the duo approved a mix from Australian outfit Van She. Featuring a re-sung sample of Kate Bush’s “Cloudbursting,” the UK single reached #8.

However, it was only this spring that U.S. stores got the single, with additional mixes issued just this past Tuesday. Carrying an updated title to reflect the delay, you can pick up “Something Good ’09” now via iTunes. Willis and Garbutt have returned to remixing pop hits, too, with a Utah Saints mix of Girls Aloud’s “The Loving Kind.”

“What Can You Do For Me” isn’t available for download, though you can grab the Utah Saints CD, now out of print, via Amazon.
