Can't Fight the Earworm

Hello MetaFilter! Have I got an absurdly specific question for you. Recently I was reminded of a song I haven't heard in years - "Can't Fight the Moonlight" by LeAnn Rimes. I'm trying to figure out what specific version of it is now stuck in my head as a result, but I'm getting stuck.
I assume the version I'm trying to find is a remix, because the tempo is faster than the original.
I've listened to the main remixes to try to narrow it down and can say confidently it is not the Dave Audé 20th anniversary remix which is too recent. I do not believe it is the Almighty Mix, the Thunderpuss Club Mix, or the Plasmic Honey Radio Edit. The Graham Stack Radio Edit sounds the closest to whichever version I'm remembering, but I remember the tempo being faster and also possibly speeding up further after the final bridge. The Alias Remix is the next closest but I don't think the version I'm trying to recall has those club remix sounds you hear on that mix.
Are there other remixes (even unofficial ones)? Am I misremembering the song?
Metafilter, help! :)

Not familiar with the song, but I am familiar with remixing. After a quick google, the Sharp Boys mixes seem to be missing from your list and are closer to the Stack & Alias mixes than the other, more Euro ones.

It's always difficult to excavate every possibility, but for what it's worth I did look around a bit and wasn't able to find any unofficial remixes.
