Cameo "Single Life" is simply one of the best songs ever written. From when it came out until this very day, that has been a constant sonic companion.
There's a DJ Dreamgirl on MySpace and she did this great Electro mix that drops Cameo in there, and it sounds so awesome.

More great mixes on the MySpace page

I'm so glad you know that song!!! In a lot of Cameo songs, they do this thing where theres a simple funky groove, that suddenly has some brilliant chord changes. I find it hard to explain, but in the vid its where the gangster guy smashes his hands in the table. Its sooo good!!
Theyve made a lot of brilliant tracks. "She's strange" is also a favourite.
Ah heck, heres a link for you
She's strange
