about 13:50 into the john tejada mix that is free to d/l here:

http://www.bentcrayon.com/mp3s/johntejada10-15-04.mp3

there is a song that made me have to change my pants it was so good.
i changed my pants. then it kept on being, you know, good. and then
i had to change my pants again... too much overwhelming goodness.

if i had to guess, i would guess jackson, but i know of nothing from him
that's come out/is coming out.
btw, naming yourself jackson makes you annoyingly unslskable.

well... anything that's come out especially recently anyway... all i've actually heard is the 'utopia' 12", m83 remix and the air remix.

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Friday, 29 October 2004 21:00 (twenty-one years ago)

Sorry, I can't help out. I am still going crazy trying to figure out this one. (Everything on Google is from other people trying to figure it out, too!)

Very nice track. Don't know who it is. I'm guessing someone German.

Why don't you e-mail John and let us know what he writes.

ladies and gentlemen, my new single of the year.

― :| (....), Friday, 12 November 2004 13:33 (twenty-one years ago)

TRANCE

this tune is indeed massive!! when the string-like sounds come in, i go all wobbly. and then the track builds for 3 more minutes. and then it proceeds to groove. and then you smoke a cigarette.

― tricky (disco stu), Friday, 12 November 2004 14:25 (twenty-one years ago)

oh! my! god! so happy for this.... thanks for writing him... i just came back to this thread today in desperation... just about to order the record now.

it sounds like Jean Michel Jarre

three months pass...

revive for a completely different track:

OK, on friday I was at La Poubelle, a French restaurant/bar in Hollywood. It actually became a little wild late in the evening and they were playing some fun euro sounding hits. I heard a song that I actually have somewhere but for the life of me cannot remember it. It's uptempo (almost house) and sounds Latin, but I suspect it's Italian. It's instrumental has a lot of clapping and sounds like this:

bum baaa da
*clap*... *clap* *clap*

bum baaa da
*clap*... *clap clap*

the second and fourth "bum baaa da" go down a couple notes. After this goes on there's a very latin instrumental breakdown.

Help me ILM, you're my only hope!

hmmm, don't remember.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 7 March 2005 18:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Spencer, surely you have the technology to record yourself going "bum baaa da *clap*... *clap clap*" and post the mp3 up here? Go on.

― Alba (Alba), Monday, 7 March 2005 18:25 (twenty-one years ago)

I have never heard of La Poubelle but what a great name!

― Michael White (Hereward), Monday, 7 March 2005 18:44 (twenty-one years ago)

xpost, I think I'll do it in Reason!

La Poubelle is a great place, best birthday ever! (Well, except for those Disneyland birthdays as a child).

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 7 March 2005 18:52 (twenty-one years ago)

bump. Also, I'm making a version in Reason and will post later tonight!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 00:49 (twenty-one years ago)

This is what it sounds like!

(Made using FL Studio for the first time and using my computer keyboard to play it terribly!!! Put it on a loop and that's what it is).

HELP!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 02:28 (twenty-one years ago)

not sure if it's even close, but the first thing your text description made me think of was George Kranz - "Din Da Da", cept I can't remember how it goes (cept for "din da da")

next is Culture Vibe - "Ma Foom Bey", but you didn't mention anything about stonkin' deep distorto electro-melody (and it doesn't have claps?)

Nitro Deluxe?

― Paul (scifisoul), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 06:06 (twenty-one years ago)

George Kranz - "Din Da Da"

whoa, synchronicity time - i just listened to this. the bits where the vocalist makes a ridiculous rhythmic pattern and the syn drums repeat it made me keel over laughing. wonderful.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 06:10 (twenty-one years ago)

These are not it. I'm pretty sure it's from the 80s or at least sounds like it. That is the exact melody and the claps are *very* prominent in the original. It sounds like it could be an Italian take on "salsa." Unlike my little demo, the instrumentation is very acoustic.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 17:39 (twenty-one years ago)

but i can't hear yr audio spencer so i'm guessing

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 21:45 (twenty-one years ago)

No, it's not quite so dreamy (that's one of my top 10 favorite tracks ever BTW). It's more festive - like something you'd hear at carnivale.

"you're my only hope!"

Oh no! You mean La Poubelle burned down, killing everyone inside who could have told you what track they played that night? (or what compilations they usually play on Friday nights, so you could look up the tracklists?)

(I agree it sounds really familiar, but I can't put my finger on it either)

Hijacking the thread a bit...

About 10 years ago I was feverish but somehow found myself in a suburban Pier One store...it was psychedelic but the point is, I heard this song, sounded like maybe Sinatra, with a lyric something like "I want to live, I want to dance, la la la la la la la la la la la". It was kind of big band sounding. My jukebox mind plays this song all the time (despite my best intentions) and I'd love to know what it is. Can anyone help me?

― Euler, Friday, 1 June 2007 10:20 (nineteen years ago)

does anyone know a french (?) new wave song with lyrics that sound like 'now lemme lemme mosh the queen'? i doubt those were the actual lyrics. although, who knows. oh and it also had a very decadent video with people in rotten rococo gowns and whatnot.

― ☪, Friday, 1 June 2007 12:14 (nineteen years ago)

also, if someone doesnt id the bloody hawtin track soon, i ll strangle a cute little kitten with the innards of another, cuter kitten.

SOLVED. Picked up the Circus Disco 25th Anniversary compilation on Thump (who released all those great Freestyle Explosion comps along with 10,000,000 other things), and there it is in all it's Italo/Freestyle crossover glory:

Stop - "Wake Up"

On the original album cover, the track is "Dedicated to the City of Los Angeles" and somewhat ethnically fittingly is attributed to Rodriguez, Dohorkian and Rodriguez.

Here is the *AMAZING* video:

OK, I have another one.This BBC Radiophonic Workshop-ish tune was on a documentary about kids' TV in the 60s. I'm sure I've heard it before, maybe on an Adam Curtis doc.

from a close friend in NYC:

"trying to find this really bad pop song that i heard at H&M the other day: female vocalist, repetitive, kind of a call out, and lyrics, over and over again, something to the effect of "I just love the way that you dance, I just love the way that you move," with a lot of "bah bah bahs" in there. Any ideas? When i do a lyrics search i get Kylie, Ciara, Outkast, but it is none of there: help!"

anyone?
