NAME THAT CHOON

The following jam has some funny noises that some of you might hate and think are really cheesy and lame but the fact of the matter is, I had this song in my head without being able to place it for well...probably between when I brushed my teeth at 1:57 am and got in bed around 2:08 am and fell asleep around 2:18 am (glory of all glories for someone who couldn't sleep like a normal person for like 3 months straight.)

Today on my bike ride to my yoga class on Parc, I tried really really hard to remember it and it left me as all frustrating thoughts should during the class itself but the struggle continued until after I moisturized after my shower and made plans to make sangria with Kweku about 38 minutes from now.

In my head it sounded housey and the only lyric I could think of was HEEPOLAYLAY. I decided to google that noise with "house" at the end of it.

"hipolele house"

Came up with some stuff about something called hip-hop?? Ale house?? EN TOUT CAS.

I decided it must fit in somewhere between 2001 and 2003. Dimitri　ｆｒｏｍ　Ｐａｒｉｓ？？　　Ｉ　ｕｓｅｄ　ｔｏ　ｒｅａｌｌｙ　ｄｉｇ　ｔｈａｔ　ｎｏｉｓｅ．

It's actually called Ibo Lele .

Here is the version I was looking for, by Jephte Guillaume



And here is a song by the same name from the Philedelphia soundtrack.


In relation, this is another blast from the past.
