tracy8365 Posted June 21, 2006 Report Posted June 21, 2006 (edited) This will probably make no sense to anyone but here goes:- Back in my clubbing hay day around 94/95 the club I went to regularly played this dance track. I never knew the words but I always used to sing "Yak yak yak e yak, yak yak yak yak" Anybody have any idea what the song is called and who it is by? If you can make sense of that then a big pat on the back for you. Thanks Edited June 22, 2006 by Guest Query has been answered
Farin Posted June 21, 2006 Report Posted June 21, 2006 Hi Tracy The first thing that came to my mind is "return to Innocence" by Enigma. (because there is some kind of Indian chant) But that isn't it, probably... You said, you never knew the words, but it was english, wasn't it? Did it really sound like "yak, yak"? Do you remember wether it was male or female vocals?
blind-fitter Posted June 21, 2006 Report Posted June 21, 2006 Are you sure it wasn't "Yak yak e yak-yak, e yak yak yak", rather than "Yak yak yak e yak, yak yak yak yak"? I ask because I can just about remember, back in my clubbing heyday, singing along to these words myself. To "Wrote For Luck" by The Happy Mondays..... .... and "Voodoo Ray" (A Guy Called Gerald). Oh , and Electribe 101's "Tell Me When The Fever Ended". In fact, I think I was going "yak yak e yak-yak," for about 6 hours, including the bus journey home.
DiggsUK Posted June 21, 2006 Report Posted June 21, 2006 Is it about Yaks, ie the large eastern bovine quadraped?
Jenny Posted June 22, 2006 Report Posted June 22, 2006 A little Googling and I got "Yeke Yeke" by Mory Kante. It was on the soundtrack to "The Beach" A short sound sample is here It might be enough to jog your memory
tracy8365 Posted June 22, 2006 Author Report Posted June 22, 2006 Guys, Thank you so much for helping out, especially Jenny as you got it spot on. How 1 song can bring back so many joyous memories. Ta Ta xxx
