Identifying A Song In My Head.

[lacmag3]

A tough one this..I have a very popular song in my head but can't identify it. It begins with a long instrumental section, very catchy with a strong beat, followed by lyrics that are in a foreign language, possibly Spanish. It's perhaps circa year 2000. Bit of an ask, I know, but any suggestions?

[lacmag3]

If it's any help it's often used to accompany presentations of photos in a meeting situation.

Is it the extended remix of The Macarena?

[lacmag3]

Not Macarena, JimF.

[THECORBYLOON]

This?

[lacmag3]

No Corbyloon, that's not it. It has a very modern feel to it.

[THECORBYLOON]

When and where did you hear it last?

[THECORBYLOON]

There was a time when "Hoppípolla" seemed to be in documentaries and trailers on the Beeb every other week...

Make or female voice lac?

[lacmag3]

The lyrics, when they eventually come, seem to be sung by two or more people, maybe one man and one woman. Definitely foreign

[eleanor2]

Thanks, nothing comes to mind as yet.

Doop?

[bobbinwales]

Okay maybe not. Good tune but no language or male voice

[bobbinwales]

Mambo number 5?

[bobbinwales]

One called guaglioni or similar was played alot too

[barry1010]

Guaglioni is an instumental, no lyrics - loved that Guinness ad

[Khandro]

As you say, it's a big ask, AB isn't the best place for an answer.

They're called ear-worms & drive you crazy sometimes. Maybe you could phone a musically minded friend & hum it to them - a facility we don't have (as yet) on here. :0)

[bobbinwales]

Yes we need a bit more info. I've enjoyed going back through some old tunes though which dont quiet fit your description but are often played on TV clips - Robert Miles -children, Sash (encore un Fois0, DJ Sammy, Daddy Yankee

[bobbinwales]

The other one I thought off was Yolanda be Cool altho that were from 2009

Have we got right sort of music lagmac3??

[lacmag3]

Maybe I'll take Khandro's advice and hum it to a friend, if I can find one who doesn't think I'm nuts :-)

Do you have Google Assistant on your phone? It has a feature to name a song. I found the name of a guitar tune I wanted to hear on demand by using it.
