Might be able to dampen them with Audio Cleaning Lab. Do you have the MP3?

There's a few stand alone programs that'll do it, as well as the plug-in variety.
Vo-Gone springs to mind, I'll email it to ya as soon as I can find it.
Vocal eliminators work on the principle of removing the "dead-centre" of an audio track. Often the bass drum is affected by doing this too.
It's a bit of a hit n miss affair, as it all depends on how the song was recorded. If there's a lot of reverb on the song, quite often the vocal can be heard in the over-spill.
Songs from the 50s and 60's are nearly impossible as it's not uncommon for the vocals to be recorded left ot right of the centre.

Send me the mp3 to [email protected] and I'll see what I can do.
