''HAPPY'' Ashanti: Fishing for an old-school sample, this young chanteuse comes up with an outstanding one: the 1982 Gap Band track ''Outstanding,'' to be exact. Nice -- although we keep wondering what her cover of the Rolling Stones' ''Happy'' might have sounded like.
''WHERE'S YOUR HEAD AT'' Basement Jaxx: This ubiquitous club rave-up samples not one but two Gary Numan songs, ''M.E.'' and ''This Wreckage.'' Give 'em bonus points for steering clear of ''Cars.''
