Does anyone know what song is being played in the second half of the trailer for Pineapple Express? The trippy tune with the girl talk-singing, that starts at about 1:20 in this version: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=AZ07JO-SaBc The song is driving me nuts, I'd love to know who it is.

Response by poster: oh, and the sample driving the whole thing is from a Clash song. No wonder I was instantly obsessed.

Funny - I saw the trailer and loved (and downloaded) the song instantly! I hope she gets a lot of recognition for this; she has an interesting history.

Yeah that's how I found her too. Googling heard lyrics works best for me.
