It's Like That, But Different

Looking for the name of a house/techno club tune from the mid-90's.

I'm pretty sure I was hearing it in the clubs of St Louis around 1994-95 timeframe, and was struck by the similarity between it's hook, and that of the then-current radio/MTV track Lucas With The Lid Off. It was definitely not a remix of the Lucas song, just the primary sample had a similar flapper-jazz/swing vamp to it.

nope, much faster tempo, more techno-y, i think there might have been a female vocal track.

I keep thinking Fatboy Slim even though I doubt it's right. He's got a lot of samey sounding songs so instead of linking to a bunch you can just search youtube yourself. :D

Cajmere's Horny? (audio is SFW, refers to the instrument). It's from 1995, so that might be it.

My pleasure. It was a fun song, especially during my clubbing heyday.

... back to the middle and around again ... the halcyon and on and on daze of my youth. :)
