[edit] "Nine2Five" - The Ordinary Boys Vs. Lady Sovereign

"Nine2Five" was the re-named and re-recorded "The Ordinary Boys" remix of Lady Sovereign's single "9 to 5". The remix was released as a duet single and was credited as The Ordinary Boys vs. Lady Sovereign and was the seventh for The Ordinary Boys and the fourth for Lady Sovereign. A new music video was shot for the single but Lady Sovereign had to film her parts for the re-make in the US.

The single's re-release was a much bigger hit than the original, becoming Lady Sovereign's first UK top 10 hit and The Ordinary Boys' second, peaking at #6 in the UK singles chart
