I keep hearing a song on the radio that I don't know who sang and what title, help!

the chorus has this part in the lyrics:
"on the radio o oh o oh"

and it has a rap part in the song.

it's not the donna summer version, this one's new, most likely a remake, a search on the net for "on the radio" led me to a lot of "on the radio" titled songs that had nothing to do with the one I'm hearing.

Perhaps it's "On the Radio" by Groove Coverage?

EDIT: Here's the lyrics: http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/On-The-Radio-lyrics-Groove-Coverage/4ADC006910AFD3B34825717800280988

i'm gonna have to check that ... does this have the same tune as the 80's donna summer song?

(ok, I downloaded ALL "on the radio" songs I found on limewire) - the groove coverage COULD be one of those, but it might not be the song I'm hearing, I really think the one I'm hearing is a remake of the donna summer song.

It could be a new artist that is using only part of the lyrics from the Donner Summer song. I've heard quite a few newish songs that are like that - like one that uses the lyrics 'Take a look at my girlfriend...she's the only one I got'. It is not a remake of Supertramp - Breakfast in America but uses only that line with the same beat and same inflection in the voice.

If you hear the beginning of it and the first line is: 'Someone found the letter you wrote me on the radio and they told the world just how you felt' then it is a remake of the Donna Summer song.

Speaking of unknown songs. Does anyone know title/artist of the song used in the new Intel commercial that has a bunch of models building a hotrod motor? I swear it sounds like DEVO!

Regina Spektor - Radio?

Black eyed peas - Pump it

i don't think so, isn't this an old song already (released some months back) with the video in the carpark or something?

thanks though, keep trying please!

Regina Spektor - Radio?

it's not that one, but because I was looking for the song I heard ...

I discovered that aside from "Samson" (and an acoustic version of "Samson"), I also like "Fidelity" and the song after that in the tracklist.

keep trying please, I'm so desperate, I am now searching for the radio station's phone number.

yeah, a lot of rap songs do that, if it were really a remake, searching for it would have been faster.

Thanks, I knew it sounded like them, saw them in concert back in 1980, great show.

[mike c]

sorry guys ... it sure sounded "international" to me because the singer was Fil-American ... it's a local album.

Hey Mikey,

The inflection on the voice/chorus "on the radio" is definitely Donna Summer-esque.
