This is the lead single off of the re-release of Oral Fixation Vol.2. The original is a remake of a track Wyclef Jean did for the Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights soundtrack. Wyclef is also featured on this version too.
In its original version, it's a reggaeton/hip hop track. It's a lot of fun and it works. The slightly more urban remix by Wyclef Jean, with some additional lyrics is quite great too. The new beat is great too.
On the dance tip, there is one mix by Maurice Joshua, but the word on the street is that Shakira apparently did not like the mix so it will not be released.
However, the mix can be heard on Maurice's MySpace.
The mix is quite nice. Very late night/summer house-ish. It's a shame this one won't see any release. But it is definitely worth mentioning.
The original version of "Hips Don't Lie" can be purchased only on the re-release of the album or on iTunes. You have to buy the whole album for now to get the song as it is a special bonus. If you have purchased Oral Fixtation Vol.2 on CDalready, there is a procedure for downloading the song for free from Shakira's website. But you must have the CD in order to do it.
There's also the official remix promo that was sent out to DJs and radio stations.
