I can get part of the way on this one. The song was "Dub be Good to me" by Beats International. The singer was Lindy Layton, who I think played a character called Cathy in "Grange Hill". Not sure of surname though!
The first line of the song is "Tank fly boss walk jam nitty gritty", but I'm afraid I don't know what that actually means!
Can I have half a point? :)

A jam hot yay for the song and singer. As for the part? I can find no Lindy Layton in "Grange Hill" and no website seems to link her with a particular part.
However, a GH site says that Lindy Brill, who played Cathy Bradshaw, attempted to sing for Eurovision in 1983 but never made it to the main competition. She then formed a group called Hardknox. There's no mention of Beats International but Brill and Layton may be the same.
As for "Tank fly boss..." I haven't a clue and don't know of anyone who would. Maybe it is just twaddle.

I did find a Grange Hill fans messageboard earlier, which indicated that Lindy Brill was known as Lindy Layton when she appeared on the Beats International hit. I am not too sure how acurate the posts are though, as one person seemed to think she played the part of Cathy Hargreaves. Wish my memory was a bit better.... :)
