Disco song Id I have in my head

Got a tune in my head and it is driving me crazy that I don't remember what it is. It might be a dub version of a disco track.
In the hook line a girl is rapping about "everybody is waiting/looking for" ...(something I don't remember). The hook is repeated in a hypnotic style. The melody it is rapped in sounds like the horns around 0:36 in this song:





It also reminds me a bit of LL Cool J's "Something like a phenomenon".

It is ultra catchy and it must be something obvious.
Help would be highly appreciated.

    Is isn't this is it? The lyrics don't match what you said, but anyway.

    Good song, but it is not even close.

    The thing that the girl is rapping about sounded to my german ears like "Leprechaun"

    "Everybody is looking [or] waiting for a leprechaun" :grin:

    I don't know if that makes any sense and helps finding the song. Probably not, though...

    Thanks anyway! Kon, PLEASE release it.

    Always thought that the kon Remix was slightly to slow... But after hearing the Dimitri version I understand where Kon is coming from. I must admit that the song works best at the slower tempo.

    BTW at 2:58, that progression into the breakdown is very nice.

  • thanks. it will drop by summer.... actually, the og is this tempo... dimitri sped it up and imo its a bit cheesy.

    thats jocelyn brown....
    "everybody is searching for the maximum".

    i'm confused...so the song you were trying to ID is Cerrone "Hooked on You"?

    that's pretty amazing somebody could id it based on the most vague of hints!

    Does anyone hear the the similarities? Would be interesting what was there first.

    BTW, this could be improved by a Kon Remix as well, so much great elements there but also so much that spoils it completly.

  • Hah! I somehow knew that was the song you were looking for just by reading your first post tho.
    Love the Kon mix...really looking forward to it.
