"'Have You Ever Been Mellow'" is the first single of the Party Animals and was released on their debut album 'Good Vibrations'. The track was released in 1996 and became their first number one hit in The Netherlands. The song contains a sample of "Have You Never Been Mellow" by Olivia Newton-John. The chorus was also reused except that "never" was replaced by "ever". Musically the song is totally different with a fast gabber beat. The song made the 1996 yearlist at a #21 position.
