What's the name of this song?

Asked by jdogg (871points) September 8th, 2009 from iPhone

It’s a kind of Egyptian like song and it has a girl singing “awanananananawaaaahaha” and then the chorus sounds something like “I sing olay olayeeyalay”. I think it’s a late 90’s early 2000’s song.

Is it Sting’s Desert Rose (which actually features Arabic singers)?

@augustlan: You don’t have to wait long—just about 3 seconds after the vid starts playing

@La_chica_gomela I was about to say that too, its like a car commercial, almost as bad as the Transformers movie

I wonder if that Jaguar comes with the chauffeur. Or even better, with Sting?

@tinyfaery: When did it air? Like back in the day when the song first came out? I never saw it, I guess because I didn’t have cable back then.

tinyfaery's avatar

It aired in Los Angeles when the song was out. Here it is: commercial.

La_chica_gomela's avatar

@tinyfaery: Thanks for the link! Seeing the commericial so cheapened the song for me, though. It was so bad. What a shame.

cyn's avatar

@La_chica_gomela I have to agree with you.

tinyfaery's avatar

I know. I liked the song for about 5 min.
