More Random Song Help - hotmetal401 - 02-09-2005

Hey all

This is for everyone who helped with the Rheostatics question. It was done so quickly (and didn't really mock me for not knowing it was a Rheos original) that I thought I would come back your way with this.

This may be tough. In the past year there's been a Telus commerical with pigs or cows, or whatever. The music was this golden New Wave track which may or may not be a straight cover of "Who Put The Bomp". Female singer, sounds kind of like Nina or the Go-Gos.

Any help? It's a Dance Cave staple back home and is driving me nuts (I also want to play it when I'm DJing Saturday night in Kingston)

Cheers

Pat

i know one of the songs in their commercials was called 10000 red balloons but i am not sure if that is the song you are looking for, and i also can't help you with the artists name

No, that's 99 Red Ballons by Nina (I think) -- Goldfinger eventuall covered it

Thanks though

Pat

Hey Pat,

If you don't find the answer here from a Hipbaser, try this forum: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.whatsthatcalled.com/forum/index.php?showforum=9">http://www.whatsthatcalled.com/forum/in ... howforum=9</a><!-- m -->

And where are you DJ'ing? Maybe I'll make a trip home this weekend, and come see/hear you.

Thanks Chris. I'll check that site out. I'm DJing on campus this weekend.

And thanks for the support to come up but I'm under the impression its a private party. I hope to have a proper Toronto debut once I move back there in the spring, post-graduation.

Cheers and thanks again
