In 1995, German Eurodance project Real McCoy released a cover version of "Come and Get Your Love", which was released in the United States in May 1995 as the third single from their North American debut album, Another Night (1995). It peaked at number 19 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number-one on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart in August of the same year.

The B-side of the single was "Megablast", a song which had previously appeared on their 1994 album Space Invaders. North American releases of the single denoted it as a "bonus track not available on the album", as the song hadn't been released in that territory. It was later added to international releases of the Another Night album.

Critical reception

Larry Flick from Billboard commented, "The act has a field day with a nearly forgotten '70s pop nugget made famous by Redbone—we are dying to meet the nostalgic mind that came up with such a genius cover choice. Mixes are forthcoming. We are waiting with tambourine in hand." [17] James Richliano from The Boston Globe felt it is "infectiously urbanized here for the '90s". [18] Dave Sholin from the Gavin Report wrote, "Based on immediate programmer reaction, it seemed destined that this cover of Redbone's 1974 hit would be the obvious follow-up to the trio's hits 'Another Night' and 'Runaway'. Polishing it up '90s-style gives the group a clear shot at plenty of radio and club play for the summer ahead." [19]

In his weekly UK chart commentary, James Masterton viewed it as "typical Euro dance, an uptempo beat, a high powered rap and a catchy female vocal, this time one which is too similar to Cyndi Lauper's "(Hey Now) Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" to be accidental but that is not to detract from the success of the track." [20] A reviewer from Music Week rated it four out of five, calling it "a cute and catchy track which is guaranteed to give Ojay, Vanessa and Patsy a fourth worldwide hit." [21] The magazine's Alan Jones noted that the "jaunty remake incorporates techno-edged synths, house rhythms, ragga rapping and – somewhere in the mix – enough elements of the original, highly infectious song to be sure of their fourth hit in a row." [22]

Music video

A music video was produced to promote the single, directed by American music video director Wayne Isham. [23] It was later published on Real McCoy's official YouTube channel in 2006 and had generated more than 4.7 million views as of mid-2023. [24]
