I remember a strange “song” that played on AM radio frequently, back in the late 1970’s. I was pretty stupid-it was a jungle-type instrumental music, interspersed with a woman gasping and moaning, (apparently) in the throes of orgasm. It went like this: (Music) (Woman’s voice); "Ayy…Ayya…AHH! (Music) That was it-just this repeated. I never got the title of it, but it seemed to play frequently. ---

I’d be stunned if “Jungle Fever” isn’t the answer. By the way, I know I’ve heard this tune featured prominently in some movie, but I can’t quite place it. Anyone remember? _Boogie Nights_, maybe? ---

It was in _Boogie Nights_. Also, two episodes of _Entourage_. And not surprisingly, in Spike Lee’s _Jungle Fever_. ---

I was going to say “Love to Love You” by Donna Summer, but “Jungle Fever” seems much more likely. ---

Somehow, I’ve managed never to have heard this until today. I went to **Walloon** ’s link and thought, “this is one of the biggest wastes of vinyl ever.” But then I clicked on [this one](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZ0CCh2rg5s&feature=related), which has better sound, and I have to admit it’s not so bad. Still, I think two hearings in a lifetime is enough.
