In the 80's or the 90's there was a slowish song with a Indian woman singing in the background, hindi style. Not much to go on but maybe someone out there will know. Its really bugging me. :)
-
wig wam bam?
-
*mutter*
-
Desert Rose by Sting is the one that stands out in my mind.
-
No, that is more of an arab sound and it was a man. This was definitely a woman and I would say she was of Indian, Pakistani, or Hindu origins. It's not as if I can type in the words as they are unintelligible, LOL!! (well, to me they are)
-
The Vindaloo Waltz ?:D
-
Abandon hope, all ye who enter here.......
-
sarong song Alan
-
Can only think of a song called "Half" by Sound Garden??
-
Sadly no, -If I ever find out what it is, I will post it on here. It is really niggling me.
-
Only one I can think of is Neneh Cherry and youssou n'dour - Seven Seconds away - spine chilling...
Although man singing in background and she's not hindu - so prob not this one... but I likes it :D

no she just sang

Gorgeous Bird you ARE gorgeous!!!!! Thank you thanks you. I have searched for SO long. Yee har!!!!!
-
I am pretty surprised it was dated 2002, it seems longer ago!
Anyhoo, thus encouraged, how about this: An Indian/Asian/Hindu woman in a song of the 60's or 70's (decade flexible ;)) Might have been called Govinda (NOT the Kula Shaker song). -Go Gorgeous!!!!! :D:D:D
-
Just how flexible are the decades this time Lynn ;)
-
I'll let you know the exact decade when someone gives me the answer :D
-
The Kula Shaker song was called Tattva :)
-
Not that it helps once you go back and read the question properly :-\
-
LOL!!
-
Amazing - what a coincidence in preperation for Turkey I played this CD yesterday - nobody remembered it, but I was right back in the Hotel Meldoy in Ovacick. Love it.
As for your next quiz question -the only other song I can think of with an asian sounding woman singing in it is .............wait for it ........it's a great song..........
Smack my bitch up - Prodigy ????? How did I do - Rubbish I think but it is a quality song -especially the video to it. Not even in the correct decade but hey that ddin't stop me last time.
-
Yes a truly amazing coincidence. And I wonder how many people watched that vid and said 'Oh Yes'! Interestingly it seems her real name is Shari Watson, stage name 'Love Hurts' and the song is 'Addictive' (from what I have found).
No this was a woman singing the word 'Govinda' amongst others. But that was the main word. Not sure what the name of the song was though. It was pretty well known at the time (whenever that was). I don't think it was a sample used in a remix either.
Go.....
-
nope - not so much as a flicker
-
Too young :P
-
Remember the israelie Ofra haza singing Im Nin'Alu although I just remember the song as I'm in da loo
-
No, seriously this really was waaay back in the 70's (I think) Dont laugh, here are my version of some of the words...
"Govinda harry pulsha, namahaa amaja meeen. Go -vin -da....."
Ok, ok I have lost it. I KNOW.
-
try this one, I think you got the lyrics spot on! and the decade I think
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B46rjU_q_cM
-
I think I met Harry Pulsha once
-
well maybe not exactly right on the lyrics:D but good enough as a non hindi speaker
govindam adi-purusam tam aham bhajami
venum kvanantam aravinda-dalayataksam
barhavatamsam asitambuda-sundarangam
kandarpa-koti-kamaniya-visesa-sobham
govindam adi-purusam tam aham bhajami
govindam adi-purusam tam aham bhajami
angani yasya sakalendriya-vrtti-manti
pasyanti panti kalayanti ciram jaganti
ananda-cinmaya-sad-ujjvala-vigrahasya
govindam adi-purusam tam aham bhajami#65279;

Glad you found it Linda and anytime you need any help just ask:D
-
*pushes Tinx aside* -Thanks AGAIN Georgeous Bird. That IS it!! You must be ace at the music part of a pop quiz! It seems rather flat in comparison with what I remembered. BUT it IS 1971!! Taddaaaa! got the decade right!
-
your welcome - I do like a pop quiz! A few weeks ago we went to a quiz it had a picture with loads of things going on in it and you had to name the different bands from the picture. I think there were 50 and I got 60! Last time we had a pop quiz on CBF Jukebox got a bit miffed!
-
Awwwww, ROFL!
