The voice of which one of the Chumbawamba female singers is heard in "Tubthumping"?

Lou Watts

The 1997 release Tubthumper lists the band lineup that was to become internationally famous, namely Lou Watts, Danbert Nobacon, Paul Greco, Boff, Jude Abbott, Alice Nutter, Dunstan Bruce, and Harry Hamer. Neil Ferguson is also credited on this release. Also in 1997, a remixed version of Chumbawamba's song Amnesia features Jimmy Echo on vocals.

The song AMNESIA? An instructor type voice comes on and gives instructions saying: "Cut the head in half using a band saw and scoop the brains out. Blast the brain out with water or air. Suck the brain out through a hole in the head."

Yes zbeckabee, it IS Lou Watts.

I remember when "Tubthumping" was hot, Shirley Manson of Garbage was raving about Lou Watts being the worst female vocalist she has ever heard. Frankly, i think she was jealous.

Here, i dug up this link with a reference to the abovementioned incident:

"Q: I read somewhere about Shirley Manson labelling TUBTHUMPING as a curse on humanity and then singling you out as being the worst singer in the world.

A (Alice Nutter): (laughs) Oooh… Shirley Manson. No, that was Lou she was on about. We played with Garbage once at a festival in Germany after she’d said that, and we tunnelled into their dressing room, which was a tent and stole all their lager so when they got back they didn’t have one drop of alcohol to drink (much laughter). And they didn’t dare come and ask us about it."
