Force & Styles Version
The Force & Styles version was a happy hardcore song which features the vocals of Junior, an MC who had previously performed with Force & Styles when they DJ'd at various hardcore club nights. The song was produced by Force & Styles and recorded with Junior at their own 'UK Dance Studios', in Clacton-on-Sea, Essex in 1996.
It first appeared on hardcore compilation albums, and in 1997 it was released on 12" vinyl on Force & Styles's own record label UK Dance Records, with a b-side "Apollo 13 (The Journey Home)". The vinyl was also re-released in 2001.
This hardcore version, although popular among hardcore listeners, never achieved the same mainstream success as the Ultrabeat cover.
After the death of Junior on 31st December 2011 an online campaign to get the original hardcore version into the charts was started Lets get Junior - Pretty Green Eyes (Force & Styles) to #1
