Dance tune featuring Sweet Dreams (by the Eurythmics) sample

Does anyone know who the above song is by? It featured a male singer (sounded a little like Marc Almond, but it wasn't him) and the only lyric I can remember is 'you make me want to cry'.

Have you got vs do you have?

It seems that a lot of the time when you word 'got' is used, it's unnecessary, e.g. "I have got a/ I have a".  Is there any rule as to when the word 'got' should be used?

To pee or not to pee

Is it really that unhygienic to relieve oneself in the shower if urine is sterile and just gets washed straight down the plughole anyway?
