I think that this would be better posted in the Cafe Society as opposed to IMHO or MPSTIMS. Also, please bear with my ‘recollection’ of the lyrics if you may. :rolleyes:

Although I’m not certain whether this was a 90s song, I am absolutely certain it was a female singer. Somewhere in the middle of the song, the lyrics go ‘Do/Would I have to, Do/Would I have to, Do/Would I have to!’ and…that’s pretty much all I remember.

I’d be grateful if anyone could find the song from that small bit, I know it’s difficult but any help is appreciated. Thanks

Was it [Linger](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6Kspj3OO0s) by The Cranberries?

Are sure it is a woman singer, it kind of sounds like Stabbing Westward - What Do I Have To Do?

Oh my…I guess that’s it. I found it. Time to close the thread.

Someone needs to really come up with an interface that can ‘translate’ music thoughts into audio and scan them through an extensive database finding what type of song it is…

Well… we _could_ let it linger.

P.S. A friend of mine used to always sing this song to her husband when he’d fart.
