From way back, about 95-97. Female vocal, HEAVY bassline, just repeats
"Everybody Needs (To Be?) Somebody" over and over again. Great tune. At least that's how I remember it.
If you know where I can get a copy, I will build you a shrine that would shame a Mayan priest.

samples Yello's 'Bostich' of course (which i heard last night at Rapture gig and made me happy). i was thinking about the Ruffneck track just yesterday actually and wondering what happened to them and the vocalist Yavahn. they did have a follow up single ('Move Your Body' which was quite similar to Boris Dlugosch' 'Keep Pushin' or the other way round) but nothing else?

it's a US garage track tho, not UK in any way shape or form (unless Yavahn was really from Rotherham)

I believe this record actually
is a Masters at Work (or one of them, anyway) production.

Turns out I must have heard a remix. The original's a great track, but doesn't have the same bassline. Hmmmm
