Sharam 'PATT'

Chart Peak: 8

YouTube

'PATT' stands for  'Party All The Time' and is a tribute to the Eddie Murphy song of the same name which was a No. 1 sensation in the USA back in 1985... Sharam's version proved to be a huge hit in Ibiza last summer before storming into the UK Top 10 in December 2006.
When they say "tribute", they mean it's the chorus sung over and over again. Essentially it's the same idea as Eric Prydz vs Floyd, except that this time they couldn't get permission to sample the actual Eddie Murphy so it's a soundalike session singer - and a "lookalike" in the video, by which they seem to mean a black person. I'm sure Sharam (better known as a member of Deep Dish) is a nice enough person but it's hard to resist the temptation to add an extra "R" to the title.
