The track which you seek is by Steinski and Mass Media, brilliant cut up stuff, also responsible for the Gulf War tribute "It's up to You". You can get this and many more of their tracks (as well as some stellar old Coldcut tunes) on "Various-No Rights Given Or Implied", sort of a semi-official release available from the fine folks at Ninja Tune.
