Red Hot chille peppers nicked a song

[Skreecheeboy]

and I can't remember what it's called. What I want to know is who sang the original but first what was the name of the song? It was about being the kind of person that you really are now......Any thoughts folks? I really can't remember and I heard the original (much better version) earlier on the top 50 foreign footy players from the premiership programme that was on ITV2 or something earlier tonight.

Are you sure it wasn't the other way round?
I remember the group of haridens called "All Saints" who murdered "Under The Bridge" thus:

The only one that I can think of at the mo that sounds like it might be suitable is 'Higher Ground' by Stevie Wonder. Has words like teachers keep on teaching, preachers keep on preaching....

Sorry guys, I've remembered more of the lyrics and found out it's called If you want me to stay and it was originally done by Sly and the Family Stone. Original version is much better but I know what you mean about the All Saints murdering under the bridge John. Cheers guys!
