"can you dig iiit?" - obscure tune on commercials

"can you dig iiit?" - obscure tune on commercials

Okay, so there's this mobile phone company commercial of a woman giving birth + texting. The song in the background is quite familiar. It's a remake with the lyric "can you dig it?". Have it on my ipod, but for the life of me cannot find it.

Anyone know what it is? Weird to hear such an obscure song being remade.

Mock Turtles "Can You Dig It"? This song was used on a Vodafone ad in the UK.

Pop Will Eat It Self "Can U Dig It"? This uses the "can you dig it" sample from the movie "The Warriors."

It's definitely not the Mock turtles one. I can't recall hearing a sample from The Warriors.

Another lyric is "..heard it one thousand times before."

OK, I'm pretty sure you're thinking of Flash & The Pan "Early Morning Wake Up Call" which has the lyric, "can you dig it" and was recently covered by the Hives. Is that it?
