“Flash Dance” by Deep Dish

Deep Dish went digging in the Flashdance soundtrack in 2004 and came up with Shandi Sinnamon's "He's a Dream", which the American electronic duo rebuilt as "Flashdance" (listed here as "Flash Dance"), with Anousheh Khalili taking the vocal. Sinnamon and Ronald Magness keep the songwriting credit, but the record is all Deep Dish: a full-bodied, peak-time hook that DJs grabbed and wouldn't let go.

Critics liked it, and it was a hit in several countries, crashing into the UK chart at number three, the first and only time the duo cracked the British top 10. A remix by Guetta & Garraud even landed a Grammy nomination for Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical. Sony Music released it, and "Say Hello" came next.
