I believe what you've heard is not La Cumparsita, but an other very well known (on EU/US territory at least) tango titled "Hernando's Hideaway" (written by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross in 1952). The song is by Debelah Morgan it is titled Dance With Me - was a hit single two years ago.
See http://www.debelah.co.uk/reviews/dwm.html.
I know a cha-cha version of La Cumparista (which is quite brilliant actually), but it is pure instrumental.
Cheers,
Aron
