Song ID Help Needed - Pop Song

Sorry for creating a thread asking for a song title, but this is driving me crazy.

Normally I hate pop music, but I heard a song a few times this past weekend, and I can't figure out who it was. It was a female singer, with some rap dude singing with her, and the distinctive thing about the song is that the chorus had the female singer singing into a bullhorn-kinda thing.

I assume it's a new/newer song.

sounds vaguely like something off of Santogold's album, but tough to tell from the skeletal description.

there are samples on itunes, that may help.

I have no clue, but I'll guess since no one else knows either.

I vote American Boy, by Estelle and Kanye. There's no bullhorn, but it is female pop featuring a rap dude that's been getting a lot of airplay lately.

I checked out both of the suggestions above, but neither were it.

This continues to drive me crazy. I'm sure I'll find it one day, listen to it and wonder...I spent time looking for this??

No, that's not it either. The song I'm looking for may be more considered dance, rather than pop. It started out with some strange beeping-like noises, and the male singer is more background than co-lead.

The female lead singer screams really loud, and it's distorted like it's coming from a megaphone.

Thanks for trying everyone. I know I don't have a lot of clues here, but I was driving with my brother, and he'd probably gun me down if I tried to keep it on the station longer.
