Doctor Malaver: May 23, 2007; Ce qui s'est pass� t'a rendu plus fort

Heard a song while on the operating table!

It's old, maybe from the 70's. Kind of funkish and the male vocal sings something like "Heyla... Heyyyla..." or "Ella... Ella..." and then sings some questions to this presumably woman (like Why'd you do this to me - but not exactly that).

Layla?

No, I knew the description sounds like Layla, I should have eliminated it right from the start. My song is softer and funkier.

I figured that was too easy. Just going on lyrics, how about Crowded House - Don't Dream It's Over?

Sorry, no

Not fitting the criteria exactly, but maybe Hey Joe by Hendrix?

No... something obscure, apparently.

Bit of a stretch, but is it Oh lord, why lord by Parliament?

If you need to, jump closer to the end, where it turns into more of a funk song.

Hmm I have to figure out how to find this song, short of making a last.fm account and listening to Parliament radio.

That's not it but I appreciate

It's not like I would ever hear this song.

I recently heard a house or lounge tune that was set to a male voice explaining music concepts and introducing instruments. The voice sounded like from some 50's educational tape. At one point, and maybe it was the chorus, he says something like "chin chin chk chk". Any ideas?

Does anyone know the name of this mix? He's not mixing it live, it's a tune that that already consists of two or three songs. Bonus points - what do the lyrics in Spanish say?

REQUEST
I don't remember music that well, I'm not sure if it even had vocals. Certainly not lyrics. It was a grinding, depressing indie/electronic/industrial sound with a lot of repetition. And it worked great with the video which was a bizarre computer animation. It was a gray isometric world with hundreds of satellite dishes and zombie-like people turning around in spasms. I remember reading that the video was made by a well known artist.

I think I might just love you. This is it. Maybe it's not it. But it has stopped my brain over-analyzing it. Thank you. I might post tomorrow saying "this is not it" cause I'm gonna show this song to a friend who was equally confused and they might not agree.

This version is better known.

Ahh!

I stumbled upon it on Youtube last year and watched it numerous times and never bothered to write it down because it was always on the "Listen again" menu. Now I went through YT history as far as it went but didn't find it. And then I tried YT autocomplete, aa, ab, ac, ad... And found it!

Turns out it's a really obscure tune.

I'm looking for a song that's early 80's or in that style (like Bauhaus, Joy Division) and the lyrics have "we want you". Maybe some numbers too. Can't find it on google or YT under that name.

Thanks but it was actually Warsaw by Joy Division. What I thought was "we want you" is actually "3 1 G".
