Ok, so the lyrics in question have been parodied by many people.

**’Peas pies chips and curry twice, twice’**

It has a dance rhythm and beat to it

It’s a well known dance track I can’t remember and I’ve been looking for it for the past 3 months.

Could you perhaps provide a bit more detail? The tune, the chorus, something?

I’m afraid not, that’s the bare minimum I know of the song, however the peas pies and chips reference is a parody of the lyrics, some UK dopers must know this.

Could it possibly be “Virtual Insanity”? I haven’t heard a parody of that song but it was a big hit for Jamiroquai.

Deeper Underground was a hit too. Number one, Virtual insanity wasn’t.
