Help - Retro Song

    TBH I've asked this in the correct thread but got no reply - maybe cos I crammed it into another topic...so I'm trying my question out here if that's ok.

    Here we go:
    You should def. know this. It's a retro dance song played on Nova 94.6 tonight. Think the artist is called "The Shaker" but discogs has left me none the wiser. Lyrics are very hard to decipher but it's got an unmistakable piano track behind it. Lyrics go something like:

    "....up your he-head...with feather in your ha-hair"
    "won't ya listen ple-ease, I'll put your mind at ease"

    If anyone has the full info. that'd be great as I've realised I don't have copy of this.

    Thanks in advance.

    Not sure what that tune is. Its so hard to hear the air of a song when you read it.

    Ah here I was thinking I got a reply!

    It's a pretty upbeat classic, but nowhere near hard house.

    What more can I do but sing it into a mic and upload it?! :) No I don't have a mic.

    Edit: The vocal is female, although it's not totally smooth. :confused:

    Think I got it - although I can't hear any samples so no way to know. Does this fit the bill?

    The Shaker - Mooncat (Ugly Bug Records)
    http://www.discogs.com/release/75668

    Found on oldskoolanthemz.com; not a bad resource!

    It is definitly 100% without a doubt - The Shaker "Mooncat" (I have the original 12").

    It doesn't go "with feather in your ha-hair" anywhere in the tune, maybe you misheard!

    It's more like...

    "Won't ya stand up, won't ya, Won't ya stand up, won't ya"
    "Turnin up the bass, the treble's in your face"
    "Won't ya listen please, I'll put your mind at ease"

    Ah you know yourself when u start reciting lyrics in your head with no music you kinda attached 'em to whatever words floating about.

    There's a actually a website dedicated to misheard lyrics :)

    The Shaker also have a tune called "Strong To Survive" also on Ugly Bug, but Mooncat was a more popular tune. So the tune you're looking for is probably Mooncat.

    Ah now that I've read the correct lyrics I recall that one very well. Used to always hear it mixed into Artemisia back in the Arena in Armagh. Good times...
