I CAN'T FIGURE OUT THE NAME OF THIS SONG AND IT'S DRIVING ME NUTS
 

And the worst part is, I can't remember the lyrics, so I can't just search it.

I can hear the voice and the song itself crystal clear, though, and it's driving me crazy that I can't figure out what it is, who it's by, or where I've heard it before.

This has been going on for two days.

So I figured that the combined knowledge of the fine folks here at ChiefsPlanet might help me narrow it down and find it.

Here's what I know:
It's not R&B, rap, country, funk, electronica, salsa, jazz, blues or gospel.

The lead singer is male.

There are backup singers (also male) that figure prominently, and they echo the lead singer a lot. Kinda like this:

Lead: Something something something la la la
Backup: Laaa laaa laaaaaaa
Lead: Something something something doo doo da
Backup: Dooo Dooo Daaaaaaaaa

It's an upbeat song

I'm pretty sure it's about love and I'm pretty sure it's sung "to" somebody. The singer refers to "you".

There's an organ part. Or at least I think it's an organ. It's what gives this jaunty song its unique twist that helps it stay stuck in my head. It's not like a churchy organ, and there are no chords. Just a fairly simple note progression, each note is held for a bit, and the sequence gets repeated.

For some reason it reminds me of the opening credits theme from Shaun of the Dead:

(Also here, can't embed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZmjsWAfn14)

I think this is for two reasons: the tempo and beat is very similar to what runs under the song, both for the organ parts and the singing, and the organ in the Shaun of the Dead song sounds like the organ in the song stuck in my head (albeit with shorter notes).

I know I might seem totally nutso, but I'm desperate to track down this song. Please ask any questions that might help and shoot me any suggestion that even remotely fits my criteria. Some coveted rep is awaiting for whoever can help me find this thing.

I will be eternally grateful. :grovel:

UPDATE:

HOLY SHIT

I Wanna be Sedated- Ramones

It's that one song by that guy. You know, the one who's sister starred in that movie with the guy who divorced his wife and married some chick 20 years younger than him? I think she was on that TV show about the family who did a lot of funny, stupid stuff.

I feel like my wife just asked me a question.

The Police??
