The song starts off with a sort of technoish/electronica drum beat and then comes in with this off-time whistling, the song has an eerie atmosphere to it and the only lyrics I can remember at the moment are “talking over me and you” sung by a female voice although a male also sings at some points. The female’s voice kind of reminded me of Karen O. from the yeah yeah yeahs in that song she did with that DJ on the Adidas commercial.

That’d most likely be “Young Folks” by Peter, Bjorn and John.
