| | Mariah Carey : Fantasy - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04) |
 | | Fantasy was the first single from Mariah Carey's blockbuster Daydream album and, like its predecessors, had a lengthy stay atop the U.S. pop charts, largely due to its well-packaged CD maxi-single, which included hip-hop and house mixes to please the singer's wide array of fans. |
 | | The song, which heavily sampled the Tom Tom Club's "Genius of Love," was a hit at a time when Puff Daddy and his sample-heavy pop-rap tunes ruled the charts, so Puffy was enlisted as the song's remixer. |
 | | The "Def Club Mix" is an epic unto itself -- several minutes into the song, it slows down, then briefly samples "Genius of Love," and then the sirens and drums begin to blast and the song escalates into a full-throttle dancefloor extravaganza. |
