Break Me Shake Me

"Break Me Shake Me" is the fourth single released by Savage Garden from their eponymous debut album Savage Garden. "Break Me Shake Me" was released exclusively as a single in Australia in 1997, before being issued in Europe and Japan during the summer of 1998. The single was never released in the United Kingdom. The song was a hit in Australia, reaching #7 on the ARIA Singles Chart. Two music videos exist for the song. The first video was made for the Australian market, and featured the band performing the song in a small room, whilst the walls came closer and closer together. The second video was made for the European market, and features the band driving around in a car, performing in a desert and some concert footage from their Future of Earthly Delites tour. This video was directed by Adolfo Doring. The version of "I'll Bet He Was Cool" that features on the Australian release is around twenty seconds shorter than the version that appears on most other releases. The "acoustic live" version of "I Want You" that features on the European release is the same version that appears on the Japanese Truly Madly Deeply – Ultra Rare Tracks CD. "Break Me Shake Me (Remix)" is the same as "Break Me Shake Me (Broken Mix)", which appears on The Future of Earthly Delites remix album. The full title of the Japanese release is Break Me Shake Me + 4 Rare Tracks. "Santa Monica" was originally intended to be released before "Break Me Shake Me", and thus many online retailers made a listing for Santa Monica Remixes EP. However, "Santa Monica" was later released as a separate single. The version of "Tears of Pearls (Tears on the Dancefloor Mix)" is the original, uncorrected version which appeared on the first pressing of The Future of Earthly Delites remix album.
