Hey I heard a song on the radio in my gym class today and Ive heard it before but I cant figure out who its by or the title.
The beginning starts with 3 crashes and then it goes into an awesome funk jam. The bass is really simple and sticks to a few notes the majority of the song but it really grooves. I couldnt hear the lyrics but all I could really hear was "Heeeeeeyyyy" at the beginning of every verse.
Any help???

:LOL: | haha I know Im sorry!
I cant think of anything else to help though because it wasnt loud enough. I assume its fairly popular seeing it was played on the radio.
Anyone think they know what it is?

| | | I have always thought of "Fame" as a Funk song...how about the guitar, bass & drum parts? C'mon. 
Back when "Fame" was a hit, my then-friends who were totally into Rock (they hated Disco & presumed Funk was Disco)...loved "Fame" & hated it when I said "...since you like "Fame", you must like Funk".
