Nah, it's something super-80's.  I would be able to confirm it if I heard the group, but I cannot name it off the top of my head.

Vh1 was using this song for their promos in the summertime I think.

p.s. this is the only song i came up with as well.

If you do a search on the amazon.com music section you can listen to a sample.

yeah - that's it...but in the song he says something to the effect of "Hey, you, what's that sound. Everybody want to get down like that."

For What It's Worth
by Buffalo Springfield

its a buffalo springfield song...its on the soundtrack of forest gump the movie, it was written about the vietnam war, so no not in the 80s...

and here's an explanation of the song...its not from the 80's

Yellowpunk could be looking for a remake of "For What It's Worth" which is why he believes it is an 80's tune. For a long time I thought Van Halen actually wrote Dancing in the Streets. All depends on which version you hear first.

Try searching Limewire or Kazaa and see if you find someone other than Buffalo Springfield or Crosby Stills Nash and Young who might be doing the 80's version you have heard. BUT DON'T DOWLOAD IT!!! iTunes has a regae version by Dennis Brown, what sound like a gospel version by the Staple Singers and another version by Brasil 66 & Sergio Mendes.

Anyway, I have been looking for a song that I once heard/saw the video but I can't remember who the singer is or the song title. The song is sung by a beautiful young black woman and she is singing something like "bring on the men" or "Calling all men." Her image gets projected all over the place and the men stop what they are doing and turn to look at her singing. She is slowly hitting a drum as a sort of way to "call all men." Does anyone know this song and who it is by.

Okay, Get a Move On is definatley the Lincoln Towncar commecrial's song. However, this gets me no closer to what I'm looking for.

I read the lyrics, and it seems that the song I speak of may be a remake of this one. However, it's mostly electronica, and /very/ eighties style. The song, cover, remake, etc. was defiatley made in this pink+blue+green era.

Yeah.  I whoever said that thing about asspumtions must be a really smart guy.  Hot too.

The thing is that it's not a cover, per-se, but more of a sample. The song itself is more or less original, but only the chorus is copied... I think changed a little as well.
