Was listening to the radio 2nite here in Dublin and heard a rockin new version of Nasty Girl in a station's daily top twenty list...Does anyone know who sings it??

Btw - 3 P songs in this stations daily top twenty - 2 versions of I wanna be your lover (one by the freakboys and another true to the original version by dublin band Zoo) and Nasty Girl..oh yeah!

haven't heard it , sounds

I believe it is by Inaya Day and it was #9 in the UK charts last week.

Originally released in Australia I believe earlier this year where it was a big club hit, and currently getting a lot of radio play in England too.

I think it's a good contemporary version of it.

Besides, always good to see peeps faces when they found out who wrote it.

If its that version they keep playing in my gym then i cant say im a fan. It sounds like the original version with a quicker dance beat behind it. Im not against people re-recording classics, but when it so unimaginative, i dont see the point. They also play this awful dance cover of Annie Lennox's beautiful "Why" in my gym. To say i cant reach for my ipod quick enough is an understatement.

this song has been huge in the UK, also Prince has been getting the mentions for writing it even though on the record it is credited as written by Vanity. Here's a question for the experts, as we all know it's a Prince penned track so would Warners have had to clear it with Prince 1st and also will he still get the royalties as it's played to death on National radio here.

It's dropped to 13 now in it's second week. Strange, with all the radio play it's been getting, I would have expected it to rise.

It's been nice having a Prince-penned song in the charts. I wonder when the last one was? A fair while ago now I bet...

I reckon it that was Cinnamon Girl

yeah I think its really good too.

Its always so funny to see people who you just know think Prince is a total wierdo dancing to songs he wrote!

Yea i am diggin this version 2, ..saw the performance on totp last week. Actually heard people playin it in work a while ago and thought it was an older cover.

I don't remember that charting here at all. If it did, it was low, low, low and dropped out the next week for sure.

I believe to cover any song you don't need the composers permission.

Yeah it has been out in Australia for months, at the start of the year it was played constantly on the radio.. i love it.. although i do prefer Vanity's version.

Just heard some MP3 samples of this- kinda liked it, but wish she would've done something a bit more innovative with it!
Thanks for the heads up!

It just missed the top forty then plummeted. Much like my threads!

Look for the A Love Bizarre follow-up, if you didn't see the same post by moi from earlier this year.
