Thanks for the input thus far but the one I am after is a remix , backing track is echo beach but the wwords are comletely differnec , bit rappish ?

Quite a few covers have been made, Toyah Wilcox & Gabriella Cilmi are 2 names that spring to mind.

If is was less than a week ago and you can remember what time, go onto the radio 2 website and listen again.  Hopefully they will tell you who it is.

You find the particular clip on Youtube, or another of those sites, copy the http// address, then paste it between the "media" references that you will find when using the "reply" box, top line of 'buttons' below title line, the one that shows a musical symbol and a piece of film.

Thanks for all the replies guys and girls , but no luck yet , I already did the bbc3 replay list and couldnt find it , the background music is exactly the same just a light "rap" by a lady over it , first line I think is :

" carzy ltlle rich girl ......."

so anyone else heard it , If I had been at home I would have hit the button on my DAB radio which would have told me the singer/ group , but sadly I was in my van 

Thanks again all

Dave

hate it when so called artists just change the beat slightly or a few words of a classic tune,so now if i hear a rip off on my radio i switch over!
