Take Me to the Clouds Above

"Take Me to the Clouds Above" is a song by British dance group LMC (credited as LMC vs U2). It peaked at number one on the UK Singles Chart for two weeks in February 2004. The song interpolates Whitney Houston's 1986 hit "How Will I Know" (using only the first four lines) and samples U2's 1987 hit "With or Without You". The vocals in the song were performed by Rachel McFarlane.
