I hope you all understand what I’m talking about. It’s like that retro-disco-tech type music then you’ll hear the “electric voice” come on and say something to the effect of “Get your ass out on the dance floor…yadda, yadda yadda…” I’m trying to make a CD for my friend. We were at the bar the other day when one of these types of songs came on. She told me she LOVES songs with the electric voice in them because you KNOW they’re always going to rock. :rolleyes: 😃 Anyway I thought it would be funny to make her a CD with nothing but “Electronic Voice Songs” ---

_Satisfaction_ by Benny Benassi has a female voice that sounds very vocoder like. _Koochy_ by Armand Van Helden also has a vocoder-like voice in it, too… ---
