Alright this song was cool back in the early 90's. It starts out with some chick saying "do doo do do dodoo do do doodo do dodoo do" Apparently she talks about drinking coffee too, not sure on this though. Anyone know that song? It gets a lot of air-time on 106.9 The Point also. Help!
I think you're talking about Tom's Diner by Suzanne Vega. It seems to have reappeared on all the radio stations lately.
That sounds like the song, but failing that, the next time you hear it the website you yourself posted seems to have a playlist where they list the songs that were played and the time they were played. Sooo... if it gets a lot of play, next time you hear it, write the time down and go to the site. It should be listed there. By the way, that song was one of the more addictive tunes I've ever heard. I found myself humming and singing that thing all the time... then they overplayed it like everything else.
The reason Tom's Diner made a comeback is because it was re-mixed in the early 90's with a dance groove. Suzanne Vega is a great singer/songwriter.
Well I actually tried to remember the time they played it once before, but I went to the website and couldn't find it at the time I thought I heard it. BTW, Thanks Isabel
Jeff, are you talking about the version with DNA? I thought Susan Vega and DNA collaborated on the dance version. I don't even remember any other version. Now I'm curious. I know that a rapper in the early 90's did a song called "Daddy's Little Girl" (or something like that) which I believe sampled the song as well.
What I've heard is that these "DNA" people, whoever they are, remixed it and put it out as a single... I'm not sure when Suzanne found out about it, but she wasn't in on it from the beginning. So it wasn't on any of her albums (and the "DNA" group doesn't really exist otherwise, I don't think... did they ever do anything else?). She put out an album called "Tom's Album" featuring every version of the song she could find, by herself and others. Y'all needed to know this. (agreeing with Jeff... Suzanne rocks... I actually like the version better without the dance groove, and it also includes the ending lyrics (which were left out of the DNA version))
