Help me figure out that song!!!

[ThunderAeroI]

I need help finding a song, and I can't be alot of help with the clues.

All I can tell you is the song has lyrics like "I want a life thats right for me", and a very catchy techno tone in the background.

help!

Is it a guy or a girl singing?

I can't find anything with those lyrics. The closest I found with a female singer that says something similar (but only once) was 'Country Livin' by Esthero:

It's an eleven year old song, but it was recently featured in one of Tyler Perry's 9000 movies, so you might have heard it there?

 

[ThunderAeroI]

Thats not it.... I've have to kee borwsing...


Edit:

It was just used as the background for Nickelodian starting Melcom in the middle on Monday.

Try shorter variations on the lyrics by typing them in quotes on Google followed by the word lyrics. It's how I usually find songs. No such luck on this one with those lyrics or a couple of variations, though.

Guess what was playing the first time Star Wolf did you know what. The end of the disco era, now the wife is going through her change.

FUNKYTOWN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, that's not it. Now stop yelling out things - I'm trying to think, here.

 

[ShamelessMcBundy]

It's like that Married with Children episode when Al couldn't think of a song and all he had to go on was, "Hmm hmm him."

 

[Australis]

There's 2 versions of that song, the original, and a cover by Aussie band Psuedo Echo. The Echo's version is pretty good, if you can find it.
