What song sounds like...?

[HAnn521]

Please help me with this song! All I know is the main singer is male and a chorus of women sing something like this: "Hey-o ma ma ma, bedupmm-da-yea, hey-o ma ma ma, heeeeeeeey-o, hey-o ma ma ma". It has a bit of an "african" sound.

Sunchyme by Dario G. TUNE!!!!!

I think its a song called Life in a Northern town, sorry cant remember the groups name, eighties tune definately.

I think it was Life In A Northern Town by Dream Academy - and now I can't get the tune out of my head

[Sasha13]

Was Sunchyme using a sample from this "Life in a Northern Town"? If not, the coincidence is uncanny!!

[amron]

the band that did life in a northern town was dream academy if that helps any ;0)

[HAnn521]

Thanks so much! Dream Academy-Life in a Northern Town is the song...this has made my day, you guys are good!

[Sasha13]

DAMN!! i'm not imagining it - listen to Sunchyme too - it does have the same lyrics!! *Cry's quietly in the corner*

I thought Sunchyme when I heard it.  And I agree Sasha - TUUUUUUNE!!!  Maybe there is some sampling going or.  Or we just unearthed a great bit of copyright law breaking.  We ABers are just master detectives all of us! :-D

[Sasha13]

thanks acw - I thought i was going mad for a minute! If you want me to go and give In4themoney what for, just let me know! :-)

Dream Academy -'Life In A Northern Town' is the original then Dario G nicked most of it when he sampled it in  'Sunchyme' which in my opinion was more well known and the better tune.

Thanks Sasha! :-) Just keep an eye on "I am not amused" thread in AB suggestions. We'll see how that develops. 

Looks like the AB detective team has concluded its case with that summary by Sammy Snake there!  Good work team! :-)  I hope HAnn521 is pleased! :-)
