What are your favourite songs beyond the 80's that are either covers of 80's songs or that feature samples of 80's songs?

My favourite one of 2005 was the Quincy Jones cover "Ai No Corrida" by Uniting Nations.  Just can't get enough of that song  8)

I am still amazed it's newly recorded.  He sounds just the same now as he did back in '82  8)



A few other goodies I thought of ..

Nasty Girl - Inaya Day (Also includes the music from the Jacko hit "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough")
Do it 2 Nite - Rockefeller (New version of an S.O.S. Band classic)
Falling Stars - Sunset Strippers / Star to Fall - Cabin Crew (Boy Meets Girl Meets 2005.  Listen to them back to back, and you'd wear both songs were just 1)
Out of Touch - Uniting Nations
Pump Up the Jam - D.O.N.S. featuring Technotronic
