It’s old and I beleive it is at least mostly accapella. There’s a deep voice that goes “Umdada umdadda. Umdada Umda” and another voice that’s sorta scatting over the umdadas: Brraaapapa dipdab. . . Is this vague enough? ---

Could it be “Da Da Da” by Trio? It was used in some car commercials a few years back, for Volkswagon I think. ---

Ha! i got you beat! I’m looking for a song. The only thing I know about it, is that at some point the (male) singer goes “eeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeee” in a high pitched voice. I _think_ it’s recent (past five years) but can’t be sure of that. (I capatalized the middle e’s because that’s where the signer emphasizes it.) ---

The first part sounds like the Oak Ridge Boys’ _Elvira_ but the braraaapapa makes it sound like something from Brak on Space Ghost. _Hey! Don’t touch me!_ ---

The one I’m thinking of was recently sampled in Shake by the Ying Yang Twins (ft Daddy Yankee). ---

> [@Biggirl](#): > > The one I’m thinking of was recently sampled in Shake by the Ying Yang Twins (ft Daddy Yankee). I’m almost positive it is a reggaeton song, that style of Puerto Rican dance music mixed with rap. (I hate the stuff, but it is quite popular on Orlando radio.) Daddy Yankee is the biggest star in reggaeton, so I wouldn’t be surprised at all if the song you’re thinking of was his to begin with. ---

Daddy Yankee is the biggest star in reggaeton, so I wouldn’t be surprised at all if the song you’re thinking of was his to begin with. Yes, Shake is reggaeton (which I love, by the way). Shake samples the song I’m speaking of. PS, reggaeton is reggae with a Spanish flare. _Esa jevita esta enterita y tienes tremendo CULO!_ ---

Oops, spelled his name wrong - it’s Kranz. Listen to the clip [on Amazon](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00001OH9U/qid=1137119108/sr=2-2/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_2/002-1025708-8915231?v=glance&s=music) to be sure. ---
