Name this (probably performed by a diva) song.

Because curmudgeonlyness is so much more fun if you actually know the name and origin of what you detest, I’m hoping someone can clue me in on this song I hear played at my gym.

All I can tell you about it is that it’s vaguely reggae flavored, and has the following snatches of verbiage:

(1) Turn out the light, turn out the light

(2) then comes this yodelling part (!!?), something like: “Yodelly yoddelly yodelly yodelly down down down, turn out the light”

(3) Hi, Opal!

That would be Nelly Furtado, and the song is called “Turn Off the Light.”

Thanks, scott evil. Judging by the context in which I’ve heard her name I guess she isn’t a diva after all, but I still don’t care much for the song. The gym is like the cesspool of all modern pop music that I don’t like, since I rarely go anywhere else that I can’t exercise at least partial control over it.
