i was working tonight (i work in a dept store) and the electronics dept was playing music really loud, and this song came on and i cant get it out of my head now and i KNOW i've heard it before but i dont know what its called and i cant seem to find it on google.

okay, so enough about my woes, can anyone help me out?
it goes something like:
highty highty highty high
hoo-dy hoo-dy hoo-dy ho...
something something something something
highty highty highty ho...
and it sort of sounds like a bunch of people singing that part, or the echo every second line or something, which i think is the chorus...


many thanks.

    Hey folks here’s the story ’bout minnie the moocher
    She was a lowdown hoocie coocher
    She was the roughest toughest frail
    But minnie had a heart as big as a whale

    Hidehidehidehi (hidehidehidehi)
    Hodehodehodeho (hodehodehodeho)
    Hedehedehedehe (hedehedehedehe)
    Hidehidehideho (hidehidehideho)

    She messed around with a bloke named smokie
    She loved him though he was cokey
    He took her down to chinatown
    And showed her how to kick the gong around

    Hidehidehidehi (hidehidehidehi)
    Whoah (whoah)
    Hedehedehedehe (hedehedehedehe)
    A hidehidehideho (hidehidehideho)

    She had a dream about the king of sweden
    He gave her things that she was needin’
    He gave her a home built of gold and steel
    A diamond car with platinum wheels

    A hidehidehidehidehidehidehi (hidehidehidehidehidehidehi)
    Hodehodehodehodehodehodeho (hodehodehodehodehodehodeho)
    ... (...)
    ... (...)

    He gave her his townhouse and his racing horses
    Each meal she ate was a dozen courses
    Had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes
    She sat around and counted them all a million times

    Hidehidehidehi (hidehidehidehi)
    Hodehodehodeho (hodehodehodeho)
    Hedehedehedehe (hedehedehedehe)
    Hidehidehideho (hidehidehideho)

    Poor min, poor min, poor minnie

    It's an old Cab Calloway song redone. There are the lyrics and you can have a listen at the amazon link. :)
    "I'd rather be with an animal." "Those that can be trusted can change their mind." "The in between is mine." "If I don't lose control, explore and not explode, a preternatural other plane with the power to maintain." "Yeh this is living." "Life is what you make it."

    You're very welcome. Glad I could help. I know I hate it when I can't think of a song. :)
