I remember hearing ages ago a track in a club and have never managed to track down what it was. Hoping you fellow music geeks out there can help identify it!
It was a female vocalist, singing (in English) a song to the tune of Bizet's Habanera, from Carmen. The style was sort of northern soul-y, and more up tempo than Habanera.
Here's a clip of Habanera, just to remind you of the tune:
