There's a really good song currently doing the rounds on radio which I'm not sure of the details of but it uses the backing track to Gary Numan's 'Are Friends Electric?'; initially I was wary of it as I didn't think that the melody of the lyrics fitted in with the overall tune, but it's grown on me after hearing it a few times as it's pretty catchy and packs a punch.

Anyway, that's a good example of an 80s (well, '79 to be exact) tune being used/sampled to good effect, but a bad example was the awful cover of Nu Shooz's 'I Can't Wait' I also heard a little earlier.

The track is The Sugababes - Freak like me.

That is one superb track.

Another great song is Lazy by Express2 which features the vocals from David Burn from the Talking Heads.

Who else did freak like me a couple of years ago. Its really bugging me. I think its dub conspiracy but im really not sure

The remixer of the Sugababes track is Richard X.

anyone hear the emminem and britny remix of the real slim shady song its cool heard it on the box yesterday

Ooops, The Real Slim Shady Did it again has been around for years, i've personally had it on MP3 since the Summer of 2000. I'll tell you what is good, Christina vs The Strokes - A Stroke of Genius, it works soooooo well.

I heard the eminem britney thing on jo whiley in 2000. r the releasing it or sumfin
