Many people don't know that Gwen Stefani's "Rich Girl" was actually a remake not only of Fiddler on The Roof, but of a fairly obscure track by Louchie Lou and Michie One, a reggae duo. In my opinion, this version is far superior and I know that recently, Z100 and Q102 were both giving this one gold spins. Great track, but naturally iTunes doesn't have it or "10 Out Of 10."

I heard this song a couple of weeks ago also. I like this one a little better than Gwen Stefani's cover.

Great song. It's much, much better than the Gwen Stefani version.

Peaked at #12 on the Bubbling Under the Hot 100 chart in late 1994.

It is better than Gwen's version even though I like that one too. Z100 still plays this sometimes.

Z100 still plays this sometimes. Q102 too. XM U-Pop plays a weird mix of this. Much worse than the normal radio version. |

That's pretty funny if Gwen was trying to make it out to be her idea. In New York, this song was a huge club hit in '93-'94, and I know Z-100 played it sporadically when Ini Kamoze's "...Hotstepper" was popular. They also played "Action" and "Murder She Wrote" for a bit.
I've been getting back into a lot of these dancehall songs lately. (Probably because I just reimported a bunch of cds with them.)

It was played a lot in Europe in spring/summer 1993, along with another single from them called "Shout (It Out Loud)".
