I have an idea that just might work.

Pull the 'I knows' from the Cher version.

First of all, Jon and Richie produced it. Second, that even might be them. Listen closely, I don't hear Cher that much, if at all. Third, even if it is a backed up chorus, it could still work. Jon had girls backing him in Bang A Drum.

I think it's worth a shot. I think it work but someone who is good needs to blend it. Or even the Kane version too.
