After Siobhan Donaghy left Sugababes in 2001, and new member, Heidi Range, replaced her. The first single from the Sugababes' first album with Range was "Freak Like Me"; a cover of "Freak Like Me" , by Adina Howard, accompanied by a loop of Gary Numan's "Are 'Friends' Electric?". Producer Richard X had previously created a bootleg mashup of both original tracks entitled We Don't Give a Damn About Our Friends, which he released under the alias Girls On Top. Since it became popular in the UK underground dance scene, Richard wanted to release the mashup commercially, but couldn't get the permission to use Adina Howard's original vocals, so enlisted the Sugababes to sing instead. This created an irresistible dance pop masterpiece that went to #1 in the UK in April 2002.
When asked what he thought of the use of his song Gary Numan said that he considered all of his work to simply be out there and if people wanted to use it (legally) he didn't have a problem with it.
