The Tamperer - "If You.." Song that sampled "Material Girl"?

[LordEctar]

I seem to remember a song from probably the late 90s playing on Open House Party that for its music was "Material Girl" but of course different lyrics. Anyone remember what this was?

It was the Tamperer ft. Maya - If You Buy This Record (Your Life Will Be Better). Great song! A #1 on my weekly personal chart and #2 for the year on my year-end chart of 1999.

I remember hearing this in a store a few years back and thinking it was pretty good sounding.

I know the worst song that samples "Material Girl". That honor would be Britney's BNG

It doesn't.

This was the first song they did where Maya actually was the one singing on the song. To avoid having to pay the original songwriters on the remixes, they had to title them "If You Buy Fabulous" for the ones that didn't have "Material Girl" elements. With the previous single "Feel It", it had such a prominent sample from that The Jacksons song that they had to give 100% of the publishing to them.

There's an older thread on this song.  Should merge.
