It’s a Spanish woman having an orgasm interspersed with a driving beat. That’s all I got. I just heard it and do remember it faintly. ---

Spanish? Love to Love You Baby/Donna Summer. It was rumored that she sang while she masturbated. Urban Legend? Don’t know. ETA: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1ArZEFwRsY](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1ArZEFwRsY) ---

How 'bout a French woman? [Jane Birkin](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Birkin). > [@](#): > > In 1969, she and Serge Gainsbourg released the song “Je t’aime… moi non plus” (“I love you… me neither”), written by Gainsbourg and featuring both of them singing, which caused a scandal for its sexual explicitness. Arguably due in part to the publicity it got from being banned by radio stations in Italy, Spain, and the UK, it was a commercial success all over Europe. The song’s fame is a result of its salacious lyrics (sung in French) against a background of female moaning and groaning, culminating in an orgasm at the song’s conclusion. ---

No YouTube? I’ve never heard it either–I used to listen to WLS, too! Larry Lujack (well, he came over from WFLD) and oh, that guy who’s now an anchor–curly hair, I can hear his voice, but can’t recall his name. Damn my memory! Bob Sirott. I remembered. \ sorry, carry on now. 🙂 ---

> [@lobotomyboy63](#): > > Glad you found the song, though; I’d never heard it. It must not have been MOR enough for WLS (Chicago AM) back in the day. The song is, literally, a woman having an orgasm in Spanish interspersed with a driving beat. I don’t remember if I heard it on the radio or on the streets of The Bronx when I was little, but I do remember hearing it. I’m gonna add it to a mixed CD of crazy, hazy childhood memories. Along with Disco Tex’s Get Dancing and Jimmy Castor’s Bunch Tryglodyte. ---

I would have sworn I knew every one-hit wonder from the 70s, but this doesn’t jostle a single memory. Not Spanish, neither: > **[The Chakachas: Jungle Fever (Polydor PD 15030)](http://itsgreatshakes.blogspot.com/2005/10/chakachas-jungle-fever-polydor-pd.html)** > > This one gets my vote for one of the strangest records ever to hit the Top 10.

A sextet of Belgian studio musicians, all middle-aged and married, who got together, recorded some sides and then went their separate ways. Kinda. They stayed together for at least ten years, because they had an earlier record make the British charts in 1962. ---

The answer, it turned out, is Chakachas. I’ve never heard of it before.\* I started thinking about buying CDs, back in the day, before you could buy song by song and had to take the... eleanor, don’t forget “Li’l Tommy” with Uncle Lar’. Cold update: feeling a little better, but not dramatically. This may run 48-72 hours. Oog. ---

The band may have been Belgian but that woman is having an orgasm in Spanish. There is a guy in there too but he doesn’t say much until the very end and even then I don’t think he says any actual words. ---

> [@Biggirl](#): > > I’m gonna add it to a mixed CD of crazy, hazy childhood memories. Along with Disco Tex’s Get Dancing and Jimmy Castor’s Bunch Tryglodyte. I kinda remember “Get Dancing.” I probably heard it a couple times, didn’t much like it, and ignored it (most disco had that effect on me). Troglodyte, OTOH…yeah, that I remember. For your CD, how about Ram Jam’s “Black Betty”?
