Disco song

[Tryggwe]

I've spent hours searching in cdnow.com's samples for this song that frequently pops up in my head. It has been chasing me for about 20 years!
I nor know the title nor the composer nor who performs it, so this is really difficult. Therefore I have made a sketch of it in mp3(450kb) (midi --> wav --> mp3), and hope that I can find someone to e-mail it to for identification. (Sounds alot like Eath wind and fire). If you don't want to show your e-mail here, write me at tryggwe@hotmail.com.

Thanks!

p.s. The midi-file is ofcourse available if you prefer that (smaller).

Heck, I'll give it a try, though most of the time I'm not real good at this. Just hit the 'mail' tab under my handle and send it. I forgot, send the mp3 or wav.

Hi Tryggwe,

Sorry. I played it and no luck. Is this the actual song? Is all of it instrumental? I'm asking because there is something in the melody I recognize but this isn't the piece where I heard it.

Good luck.

[Tryggwe]

Thanks for trying Nicky!

The melody and the tempo is the only thing I'm sure that is correct.

The melody is sung by male voices is a high register (just like EWaF). The text..... well it COULD be something like "I Love Carita and that's no lie....." but that can be far from the truth thou.

btw, I don't know anyone named Carita, if you wonder.

could it be: Aye No Corrida....by Quincy Jones, from THE DUDE LP (A&M Records) released in 1981....that would be about 20 years of haunting, no?

the lyrics would certainly fit.

[Tryggwe]

YES!

"Ai No Corrida" it IS!

Is's time go out in the Swedish autumnsun in Stockholm to buy a record whith Quincy I guess.

I find it strange that this song appear on so few Disco-collection-records.

Many many Thanks DanceMan!!!

Good Solve, Danceman!!!!!

"I Love Corrita" = "Ai No Corrida"!!!!!

AND, remember, that's NOT SPANISH!!!!!

It's Chaz Jankel-speak!!!! WHO KNEW???? :roll:

[NickNack]

Good call, DanceMan. Kind of strange that the file I listened too sounded NOTHING (IMO) like Ai No Corrida. And I have both Quincy's and Chaz'. It sounded like I had a 33 RPM going at 45.

Oh well, at least Tryggwe is happy. That's all that matters, right?
