Song information

At the beginning of the "Junior's Soundfactory Mix", the sentence hard to understand is "Cyndi Lauper DREAM DRUMS". Lauper said so in person. The story about it is quite long. While Cyndi and Junior were working on the Come On Home mixes, Junior invited a friend of his in the studio. This one talked with Junior of the fact that he and his friends referred the Junior's mix of That's What I Think as DreamDrums because it was so different from the original and so close to other mixes Junior did at that time that they couldn't recognize the track when it was played in the club. Cyndi heard the story. A little bit later, the single was released and the sentence was on it. There was a special rap appearance by Demetrius "Sir Jam" Ross.

The single rocketed up the dance charts in 1995 when it was released in the U.S. The song was also a moderate hit in a few countries, where it charted in the top-twenty or the top-forty.

In 2010, Junior Vasquez revisited this classic with engineers Joel Dickinson, John Michael & Billy Waters. He debuted his mix at Pride 2010. It features vocals from the original recording session that have never-before been heard.
