Heard a song the other day, don't know if it's current or a few years old, but it samples the music from the Israelites by Desmond Dekker, and the lyrics are about he fact they've taken and old tune and 'refreshed' it for a new generation.

It still had a reggae lilt to it and I would love to know a bit more about it!

No.

The version i heard doesn't mention the world 'Israelites', I think the hook is something like'dance through the night'.

I found it!

It's 'Dance Until the Morning Light' by UB40. Shame on you all for not knowing it. It's a good tune!
