"I said yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah baby!" Who sings this song?!

That songs comes on at work and my coworker (Suzanna) and I find it annoying yet funny at the same time and we are trying to figure out who sings it. It's sung by a lady and about half the song is a bunch of yeah yeah yeahs. We have a mix of jazz/blue type songs at work but we don't have satellite radio, it's just a bunch of songs that the owner picks out. But he isn't really around to ask if he knows who sings it. We also suspect that it's the same lady that sings a version of Kansas City and another one that has lyrics that Suzanna thinks say "It's a hearse party tonight." My google fu has failed me and I seek the help of the hive mind. Thanks!

Pluckemin, the lyric I quoted from the song (see first line of the question) doesn't appear in that song. That's not it at all.

That KT Tunstall song has a ton of "no no no no no no" in it. Not "yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah."

For clarification the main chorus goes: "I said yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah baby. I said yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah baby. I said yeah yeah yeah yeah baby all the time."

I'm gonna go with Keely Smith here, since I know she does a great "Kansas City", not to mention a song called "House Party Tonight" (ahem).

Yeah Yeah Yeah

All three songs on Rhapsody with free samples.

(Also, I wanna hang out in any bar that plays Keely Smith all night!)

Rokusan, thank you so much, this has been bugging us for a long time! The version of the song that comes on is the one on Rhapsody, and it's so jarring when it comes on. It's a few decimals louder than the other songs for some reason and her voice just cuts through any conversation and you can see people physically react to the song.

Oh, right. "No" ≠ "Yeah." Uh... April Fools?
