Via Intergalactic FM, this mental '84 vintage dub mix from Arthur Baker (with tape splicing by those cheeky Latin Rascals) reportedly barely features much of the Stones themselves, mostly just a ripped-to-the-tits Mick screeching and ranting on about Michael Jackson and "Thriller" ("there's this movie script about this werewolf? wassit all about, i mean give me a facking break" "oh very facking funny Michael - meanwhile back in the jungle...") to a hugely dancey percussive backdrop, heavily on the Liquid Liquid feel.
DJ Paul T has the rip if you want to investigate further - this mix ain't available on iTunes, I would have paid good money for it too.
Already gave the game away with this one; the audio player used by Posterous displays the tags of the MP3, which rather blew it, but even still, it's a bit of surprise when you hear this. I couldn't believe there was a vocal version.
It popped up a Youtube a month or two ago, and quickly disappeared, but (cough) here it is again, in appropriately rubbish quality, for a limited time at least.
From what I've read elsewhere, this was released as 7" and deleted straightaway... and it doesn't appear on the soundtrack album re-released a couple of years back. I can only guess that the director didn't like it.
David Butler comments on Create Digital Music with some more info on the mysterious Aphex-style dance track that's been dug out of the Delia Derbyshire archives. Rooting around my collection of stuff I found something which claims to be the track David mentions, seemingly off a demo record of the EMS VCS3.
Update: Just for interest only, here's an interview with Delia by Radio Scotland in 1997. Let me assure you, we all speak like that in Coventry.
