(These titles on You Tube videos really annoy me, especially when they are fucking wrong!)

Still have a copy of this when it was on an EP given away with the NME in the 80's.
No involvement by Coldcut.
Yes that drum rhythm is sampled from 'Honky Tonk Women'.

Bonus: Audio

REPOST - Pink Nasty

Pink Nasty (AKA Sara Beck) is worthy of your attention.

This will get you her duet with Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, 'Don't Ever Change' (the ultimate in power ballads!) and her cover of Usher's 'Burn' (which is really good and makes you realise what a great song it actually is.) As a bonus there is also her video for 'Away Message' included.
Pink Nasty @ MySpace here.
There is an interview at Aquarium Drunkard here.
Oh and she has a brother called Black Nasty. (Not for the faint hearted!)

Late addition.
Here is a demo for her upcoming third album.
It's a song about getting drunk and buying a dog!

Fans of Bonnie 'Prince' Billy may be familiar with Pink Nasty as that is her singing on the 'Summer In The Southeast' album.

The Netherlands
"are a collective effort.
The Netherlands don’t have a front man. We don’t have a face. We do have good sounds and good songs."
'We Are Not'
"‘We Are Not’ is the first album. It is art pop, dub reggae, psychedelica, electro.
But then again, it’s not."
