Strange Song with Woman Reading Cities and Numbers

Hi;
I am trying to find the title of a song with a woman reading numbers and cities (think she's English) in the background of the song. It came out in the 80s, I believe. Any ideas?

@davidearlgross,
You'll need to provide a LOT more than that. Which cities, which numbers to start? Did she sound like a police dispatcher, or something else? What type of music was it - rock, rap, jazz, country, reggae, something else? Was the sound more guitars, piano, horns, violin, something else?

@jespah,
Thanks for the quick reply. It was more like a police dispatcher. She was simply reading numbers. It was background while the song progressed. The cities were English as was her accent. She read, the city and a number and then on to the next city. Kinda spooky music, but definitely rock.

Thanks - I had thought it might be April 26, 1992 (Miami) by Sublime:

@jespah,
Hi jespah, thanks ... however, the background was a woman's voice much softer and soothing. The music was more early to mid 80's rock.

@davidearlgross,
Huh. I'm kinda stumped. Do you have any idea about the context, that sort of thing? Because in the song I posted, the context is that the woman is a police dispatcher. But why else would there be a recording of a woman saying city names and numbers in a song?

@davidearlgross,
Is there any chance she was reading football results - or the weather?

@hingehead,
Yes that is most probably what she's reading.

@lmur,
I you tubed it. But that was not the song I was thinking of. It's a woman's voice reading the weather or soccer scores. Thanks!
