Contrary to its misleading title, this version is not a megamix (like the Multimegamix released in Spain or the Megamix released in the Benelux).This mix is slightly different from the original U.S.A. radio version and features some gimmicks taken from Boys and Hot girl.

The Sexy Girl Mix for Boys and Hot Girls Instrumental (3:08)

The Sexy Girl Mix for Boys and Hot Girls Vocal (6:39) Long version
1988 - Remixed by the Extra Beat Boys for PWL

1996
Undersexy (4:35)
1996 - Arranged by Matteo Bonsanto, Giovanni Bianchi, Ugo Bolzoni
The vocals were kept and the original music was replaced by a cheap House Music production. Like many remixes produced for this compilation, this one lacks of inspiration...

- Album: Remix 96 (Italy)
Sexy girl 1996 (4:31)
1996 - Arranged by Matteo Bonsanto, Giovanni Bianchi and Ugo Bolzoni
Once again, the vocals were kept and the original music was replaced. A bit better than the previous one, this remix tries to turn Sexy girl into a high-energy classic...
Available on:
- Album: Remix 96 (Italy)

2008 - Arranged by Andrea T. Mendoza and Steven Tibet
