Need help remembering a song

There was a song in the early/mid 90's that used the lyric from "The Message" by Grandmaster Flash that goes: "It's like a jungle, sometimes it makes me wonder how I keep from going under (huh-uh-uh-uh-HUH!)"
The song wasn't a rap song, more rock actually. I thought it may have been Big Audio Dynamite, but after searching through their songs on Youtube, I can't find it so it might not be them.
Sound familiar?

Nope, it was a song that was played on pop-mainstream radio so it wouldn't have included swearing or gangsta-rap.

That's an awesome site....good to know.
However Grandmaster Flash's song wasn't sampled per se' in the song I'm thinking of...the lead singer actually sings/says the line. It wasn't a cover of The Message either...the group had their own song and shoehorned in the "It's like a jungle..." line in the chorus.

Was the group a bunch of white guys?
BTW,Ice Cube also used "The Message" beat for "Check Yo Self"
"First you want to step to me,now yo ass screaming for the deputy"
Best Ice Cube line ever!

I'm pretty sure they were. From what I remember the song wasn't rap/hip-hop and I think it was one of those one hit wonder type songs.

This is how I'd do it.

He also used the jungle line in another song before calling himself Chocolate Thunder. His early stuff was good but after his acting career took off he got comfy and lost the anger/hunger/etc. that gave him his signature rap edge in the early years. I haven't even bothered trying his last couple of albums.

The more I'm coming up empty on this search (posted it to reddit too) the more I'm thinking it was probably some remix, or mash up of The Message. My friend and I would always do the "uh-huh-huh-huh-HUH" part and laugh.
I haven't been able to find anything close to what I'm thinking of.
