     *Two members of the 60s group The Turtles say their previous arrangement with Ice Cube, who sampled their 1972 song "Buzzsaw" for his early 90s hit "Jackin' for Beats," needs to be updated immediately.        

       According to TMZ.com, singers Flo & Eddie recently filed suit against Capitol Records in L.A. County Superior Court alleging that the label had signed a deal for the song but went beyond the agreement to make even more money.      

       Flo & Eddie are seeking $25,000 but not more than $70,000, according to TMZ.
