I agree with 2/3 of that statement.

I'm fairly sure it's from something else, or at least remarkable similar as it sounds quite familiar and I wouldn't know it from his song.

I listened to it this morning... definitely not it, I'm afraid...

Upon further review, I will jump on the Tina Turner "Whats love got to do with it" bandwagon, the tones haven't even been changed, just sampled and cropped a bit.

I'll see if I can rip the vocals off and pull the part out when I get home tonight...

There's something else in that snip that reminds me of Natalie Merchants "Thank You" or "Kind And Generous"

La la la la...
You've been so kind and generous
I don't know how you keep on giving
For your kindness I'm in debt to you
For your selflessness my admiration
For everything you've done you know I'm bound
I'm bound to thank you for it
La la la la...

I'm thinking Smokey Robinson... although I'm not well versed enough to know if this little riff appears in the songs he did in the 80s...

If it makes you feel better, this sort of thing happens to me all the time, and with ONE exception, I've always been able to figure out who did what.

Anyone mention Chris Isaak yet? I've heard that rif before kinda sounds like something Chris might do.

Nope -- it means that you don't have things going on like: someone you love in the hospital, a car accident to deal with, work isn't stressing you out and your relationships are in good order. All's well.

Or you're just ignoring all those things.

what's more pathetic is that it's driving me nuts and i know absolutely nothing about music. (i got mocked at work the other day because i didn't know some REM song.) i do know just about every bit of useless tv trivia imaginable, though. why couldn't this be a tv theme song?

come to think of it, it's pretty reminiscent of the "la law" theme.... lol

I definitely thought it was Lionel Richie, too... that was my first thought that stuck with me for quite a while! I found a web site that had portions of just about every one of his songs, and I went through every single one of them without finding it, though.

i'm as far from musical genius as you can get, but something in me says Lionel Richie's "All Night Long."

it's not in the snippet on iTunes and i don't have a full copy of the song anywhere to check it. feels like it would fit in there, though.... or somewhere in the lionel richie ouevre, anyway.

Ironically, I just listened to that one (and others) on some old tapes... not it! :)
