Post Please identify this "song"
What is that ubiquitous tune that sounds like a midget chanting in tongues all the while castrating himself with a pair of nailclippers? It's a dance tune. Let me try to transcribe the hook for you:

Na-na-nee-nee-na-na-na-nee-nee-na-na-naa-nee-nee-na-na-na-nee-nee

You know the one I mean?

I haven't seen the video (unless you are thinking of the song "Blue," which is not the one I mean).

I just hummed it to a colleague, and he told me I was scaring him. Then again, I was touching him ever so gently at the time.

I don't know. If the song has any other lyrics, I don't recall what they are since me mind shuts off in a kind of daze in anticipation of the na-na-nee-nee.

It's on the radio all the time.

Two guesses:

Numa numa hey - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmtzQCSh6xk

The Hamster Dance - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76HcLEunsws

They're both infectious tunes that drill into your brain and never leave until another infectious tune enters!

I want to say Power FM? Or Capital? One of the big, non-Turkish pop stations.

It's not Numa Numa (which I actually have on my FauxPod) or The Hamster Song, either.

I immediately got loads of 80s/90s shit dance tunes in my head......

One which I can't identify - black woman singing I think - gypsy crystal springs to mind...

nah nah neeeee nah nah nahhhh - nah nah neeee nah nah nahhhhh

Also this one which I also hate http://www.tsrocks.com/v/vaya_con_dios_ ... h_nah.html

Then this other classic popped in - Whigfield - Saturday night - another song that should be forgotten.

......................basically don't know the tune you mean as I don't listen to the radio. Can't you go online to the radio station and check out their playlist?
