I've searched for the longest time for this song and I cant find it anywhere.
It's a dance-techno song that was popular in 2007 and may have the word "grave" in it's title and goes "o-oooo-o-ah-ah-o-oo". That is the best I can describe it sorry. I have been tracking this song for ages and if anyone knows the name and artist, that would be wonderful.
-
Yes, lyrics would help indeed.
-
Well, that's all they say in the song. I guess I'll try it again. "ahha-aa-a... aaaaaa-aaaaaaa-aaa-aaa-a-a-a. I think that's more accurate. The singing style sounds like a fast-paced church chorus, and that is the best I could do. I'm just glad it's not a complete instrumental!
-
Can you recall any media that it appeared in?
-
No, but it was played on the radio a lot and distinctively I remember it being played in Circuit City.
-
Can you upload a sound clip of you singing it? Or maybe try here (http://www.musipedia.org/query_by_tapping.html) or here (http://www.bored.com/songtapper/).

Results that lead to a Turkish March are not very helpful.

*tries Bored.com's song tapper* Actually, that's pretty good, provided the song's been entered in the database and you can tap on each lyric syllable (you might accidentally tap the melody).
*tries melody you put up* No help. I wish there was a database of songs with nonsensical lyrics, one that would include that "I'm a Scatman" song and the blue da ba bee song (I was so embarrassed when my parents were trying to write down the lyrics to it).
Drives me crazy when I remember the melody of a song but can't make out the lyrics (or they're foreign or the lyrics are just aah aah). On top of that, Google doesn't have links for lyrics to some songs. I'd like to know each song that's used in Louie Devito's "Dance Factory Super Megamix", but I can't identify some of them because typing their lyrics into Google doesn't help.
But I was able to discover that a song I was looking for since childhood was Michael Jackson's "Earth Song". I knew it was that one because it was right around the year I deduced it occurred, I thought Jackson was female because of the high voice (explaining why I remember the song being sung by a woman when it wasn't), and it had the same sort of melody.
There was some other song I heard in a store sometime, and I tried to keep the lyrics and melody in mind all the way home, but couldn't. Another potential song lost. And I couldn't ask anyone what it was because the song ended almost immediately after I noticed it. Stores need to start having electronic things saying what music they're playing, because there's usually a wide variety of music and some of it's good. One time at the grocery store I heard Phil Collin's "Something Happened on the Way to Heaven". I still find the idea of music in a grocery store strange, but whatever.
EDIT: I didn't find it, but "Kiss From a Rose" by Seal sounds to me a lot like what you're saying. Doesn't sound like dance-techno though and it's from 1994 (won a Grammy in 1996). Some nonsensical lyrics, "a light hits the gloom on the grave aah-ee-aah". YouTube video here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZpwaPTvKms) (ignore that it's a Final Fantasy X AMV).
The part that reminds me of your melody is 1:16 - 1:21. I like the song.
EDIT 2: There's also " Stealin' " by Uriah Heep, that's got the church sounds in it and "oo-oo oo-oo ah ah ah oo-oo oo-oo ah ah ah" and a lyric near the end has the only instance of the word "grave". It's a lot closer to what you're looking for, but it's from 1973, it doesn't quite sound like techno, and it doesn't seem fast-paced.
There's also Dj Cammy's "Ah Ahh Ahhh" (it goes under a billion different "Dj" names and other artist names, it's the same song but remixed I guess) which is indeed techno, but you mentioned oo oo so I don't think that's it either.

and the blue da ba bee song (I was so embarrassed when my parents were trying to write down the lyrics to it).
It's "I'm in need of a guy." And the Yoshi's Story song is "Oh, lack of apples."
-
Ah-aaa-ah-ah-a... aaaaaa-ah-ah-a. This is basically the entire song. I was almost certain someone here would know the song considering how popular it was. Maybe 'grave' isn't in the title or Artist but it sticks out in my mind for some reason. Maybe it's a similar word.
-
It's "I'm in need of a guy."
It's "If I were green I would die."
Or maybe it's just scatty sounds.
-
No, but it was played on the radio a lot and distinctively I remember it being played in Circuit City.
Is the song sung by a man, a woman, or a group? And what genre of music is it? Did you hear it playing in Circuit City this year, or last year?
-
It is sung by a chorus of men, I last heard it in 2007-2008 in a circuit city.
-
What radio station did it play on?
-
Probably Z-100. If you mean the radio station in the store then I have no idea.
-
You seriously need to record yourself singing it if we're to have any hope of guessing which song it is.
-
See if your computer has a microphone built-in. Just open Sound Recorder (or Sound Studio if that's still being included with Mac OS X, I doubt it though), set it to record, talk at your monitor, and see if anything comes up. Then just save as .WAV (preferably .MP3 if it's long) and upload it somewhere. Maybe one of those drop-file websites.
I could have sworn I've been able to record without a microphone before just by yelling at my speakers, but then, I also had to change the speaker cable to Line In or something, and with nothing going into Audio, I couldn't record and hear myself at the same time. Not sure if that worked.
There's also handheld recorders you can pick up that have USB so you can put your recordings onto your computer.
-
Audacity would probably be one of your best bets at a clean recording, and it's free.

DJ Shog - Another World Part II (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPBScr0f6BU). I doubt this is the song you're looking for, but take a listen to it anyway. You may want to skip to 1:30.
This song contains a lot of "ohs" and "ahs" as well; Global DJs Vs Benny Benassi - San Fransisco Dreaming. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eELeSsZ4rWk)
And this one: DJ Skribble Zombie Nations (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gvEx6NSdVI), which sounds a lot like the song you're talking about. (The "oh-oh-oh-oh'ing" starts at 1:15.)
-
I like penguinwizard's guess of Kiss From A Rose. I bet that's the song.
-
Oh yeah, that's gotta be what he means:
Zombie Nation – "Kernkraft 400 (Sport Chant Remix)" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOUgGA0lsog)
MYSTERY SOLVED

I don`t really think this is it, but maybe it was I-E-A-I-A-I-O by System of a Down? (sorry about not posting a link, but I will once I`m using an actual computer, not a DSi).
-
Ah, Dragoon Jay uses grave accents because he's posting from a DSi.
MYSTERY SOLVED

Oh God, it's the sports song (I think it's the song that plays at baseball games when you're doing The Wave, or when the audience needs to yell to "crank up the volume of the stadium"). Well, now I know the name of it at least. So, was it confirmed that that is indeed the song he's looking for?
*looks at subtitle of song: "Sports Chant Remix"* oh, duh.

DJ Zombie Nation is it!!! Holy crap! I've been looking for this song for so long! Thanks! :)
-
No problem! :)
-
The version I linked is probably what you heard, though.
-
I don't think it was the exact version as I don't remember any cheering and stuff like that in the one I heard but that is the right song.
-
**** yeah, Zombie Nation!
I love that song.
