Can you figure out what U.S. song this song sounds like? This is a Bebel Gilberto track that brings to mind a U.S. song that I can't figure out. I hear the similarity in the horn/brass part only. It is slowed down but sounds like a song I know. Can you figure it out?

Name that tune Know any album for which lyrics of one song are laid over the melody of another?

My Australian ex made a cassette of *that* album, whatever it is, and we listened to it several times when I was overseas and visiting 6+ years ago. I'll be jiggered if I can locate either the name or the album. Not sure if it was an oz-specific compilation; I checked with ex -- she doesn't remember anymore. Both the lyrics and tunes were from popular 70-80s rock tunes. I don't remember the specifics of those either but at the time I recall thinking 'hey cool, I know that/those songs.

Bonus gold star stickers awarded if someone can tell me where to go to buy it.

Can anyone identify the name of the song and artist that these dancers are performing to in the following video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QhmegOMzOw We have another stumped person at our music forum. You guys were able to identify the last music question, so I've come back to the well on this first day of Spring to see if the music intelligentsia here can save this poor young man from going crazy before the next equinox. Thanks in advance for your input.

I'm trying to identify a song, and the person or persons who produced it. Its chorus is "Have you forgotten (oh, oh, oh) where you've come from? (oh, oh, oh)." Ever heard of it? . . . more . . . So I've got the song on one of my servers. It's a 3mb mp3 file, and you can give it a listen, though I don't know the copyright status of the clip. (I plan on deleting the file once someone can name it, or in a day or two, to avoid perpetual server bang.

Here it is. (3mb, mp3)
