I was trying to remix a song (Elektronik Supersonik) but the lead singer's voice is too close to the drums and bass beat for me to be able to seperate a clean vocal sample from it.
Any suggestions? I'm not terribly experienced with this, so I don't really know any tricks for extracting a clean vocal sample.

If you can't get something usable with eq and mono/stereo differencing, there's not much more you can do... unless you know someone at the studio who can get you an acapella mix from the original multitrack.
It's much easier to get usable instrumental tracks... because you can build up a remix out of short segments you cut out in between the vocal phrases...
One nutty time waste idea is to get out whatever instrumental backing you can, loop that material into a remix, and lay vocal samples back on top...
If you're not reharmonizing or changing the groove too much, you might find that the bleed is acceptable... you could dip the rest of the track whenever one of your vocal samples comes in...

Okay in sound forge use the noise reduction... analyze just the vocal if you can and set the plug in to keep just the noise. If you have just the music on it's own then analyze the music and reverse the process.
