OK let's get into the weeds on the "Borderline" mixes:
-
Album version (sometimes erroneously labeled as the US Remix or Remix in streaming services)
- the version everyone hates and no one listens to
-
US Remix a.k.a. New Mix a.k.a. Extended Mix a.k.a. Jellybean Remix a.k.a. Extended Dance Remix a.k.a. 12" version
- acoustic drums instead of drum machine
- cowbell added
- glockenspiel added during the intro
- echo-ey, booming snare drum hits here and there
- echo-ey vocals here and there ("borderline...line...line")
- Longer than album version
- Probably some other stuff in the mix too
-
Dub
- also remixed by Jellybean but it's a dub though
-
Single Remix
- used in the music video
-
An edit of the US Remix but:
- no added cowbell at all
- no echo-ey, booming snare drum hits here and there
- no echo-ey vocals here and there ("borderline...line...line")
-
Brazilian single edit a.k.a album edit
- a fade of the album version
-
It's That Girl remix a.k.a. radio remix a.k.a. radio version a.k.a. remix edit
-
just like the single remix, but:
- with echo-ey, booming snare drum hits here and there
- with echo-ey vocals here and there ("borderline...line...line")
-
just like the single remix, but:
-
The Immaculate Collection remix
-
just like the single remix, but:
- mixed in Q-Sound
- with cowbell added
- no echo-ey, booming snare drum hits here and there
- no echo-ey vocals here and there ("borderline...line...line")
-
just like the single remix, but:
-
Celebration remix (erroneously labeled as Single Remix on the new streaming releases)
-
very similar to The Immaculate Collection remix, but:
- not mixed in Q-Sound
- with echo-ey, booming snare drum hits here and there
- with echo-ey vocals here and there ("borderline...line...line" & "lose my mind...mind...mind")
- those added elements weren't added in exactly the same places as the It's That Girl Remix
-
very similar to The Immaculate Collection remix, but:
See, it's super simple and not annoying or frustrating at all.
