What is this song?

[Alan B'Stard]

There is a tune that is being played quite frequently on the radio that sounds like Siouxsie Sioux from the Banshees singing with some whistling and tom-tom like sounds. Vague description, but if you've heard it, you probably know the one I mean.

Does anybody know who sings it and what it's called?

Which station has it been on? Is it a whole tune or just a jingle? I haven't heard anything that sounds like this, so far....

 

[Alan B'Stard]

I thinks it's on Signal, it's a whole song.

 

[Gramaisc]

They have a Facebook page. A query on there might be seen by somebody the knows the answer....

 

[Alan B'Stard]

Thanks, I've posted there to see if they come up with an answer.

 

[Gramaisc]

The Signal website has some playlists and stuff that might be helpful in your quest.

 

[Alan B'Stard]

Yeah, I've checked those and it all seems to be Hip Hoppy R 'n' B hoody music which this is most def not.

 

[Alan B'Stard]

Oops, wrong station, it was on absolute and was played again today, I've been all through the play list online and can't seem to find it. Very frustrating as it's a great tune.

 

[John Marwood]

I do still remember her flashing her not too large t*ts at the Top of the World Ballroom - a few moons ago now though...

I don't remember any lyrics, the radio is not the loudest and is at different volumes throughout the building, I can only remember the tune, which I could hum, but I fear it would be lost in translation.

I had a similar problem with a song on the BT sky sports add where I knew I had heard the song or something that sounded like it, remembered the video where sparks starts erupting from the bands faces but couldn't remember the name of the band. It was driving me nuts for weeks as the patient with the steering wheel sticking out of his flies said to the doctor.

I forgot to mention the freaky eyeballs (the bands, not sticking out of the gentlemans flies).

The only song that I can think of that has whistling in it at the moment is Wierdo by KT Tunstall but she doesn't sound like Siouxie Soux.

 

[Gramaisc]

Anane - Plastic People?

 

[Alan B'Stard]

It's neither of those, Anane sounds like a modern Grace Jones I reckon.

Can you grab someone with an iphone with the shazam app on it to find out what it is the next time you hear it? I am always doing that (with my iphone)

There was a song I kept hearing on radio 1 recently I which I really liked but I can't remember who it was by and what it was called. It was kind of dance music and when it got to the chorus the pace would change. I can hear it perfectly in my head but I don't think I would even be able to hum it. It didn't have any distinguishable lyrics either (at least not in the bit i can remember) and it's not on their playlist. Always gutting when that happens!

Things have moved on a tad since dial-a disc then?
