I have obtained information from DJ Mode with regards to this song.
This information includes the name of the song, the artist, and
release information. If you can wait for a bit longer, I will attempt
to find a source for this song so that I may post it as an Answer.

Thank you for your question! A good challenge is always welcome.

I must admit that when I listened to your posted sample of the track
(many times), I could not identify the artist. For good reason, it
turns out.

After many attempts at trying to figure it out using what I could make
out of the lyrics, I decided to take a different approach instead.
This approach, was to track down DJ Mode (aka Remode), and ask him for
help! Fortunately, DJ Mode was kind enough to respond to my query, and
advised me that the track was from his ULTRAMODE VOL.2 mix CD,
released in 1996. This track is by a group called Hubert KaH, from
Germany. They are still around, and have a web presence at:

http://www.hubert-kah.com/

The name of the track is "So Many People", and it was originally
released on their album "Sounds Of My Heart" in 1989. Remixes/extended
mixes of the track were also made available by the group, and the
track was included in their "Best Of" release in 1998. You can listen
to a sample of this version here:

This album is available for purchase through Amazon.com:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/index=music-artist&field-artist=Hubert%252520Kah/002-4058466-8687204

You can also listen to a sample on Amazon.com, but the other site I
referenced above is better.

I hope that this short but direct Answer meets your needs!

Excellent response. Thanks soooo much!!!!

sounds like Mr. Mister to me

Ok, now I'm hooked on trying to find this song.

It sounds like the Pet Shop Boys who have a song called "One in a
million", but it's not that song.

Do you just have this small clip, or are there more lyrics?

Unfortunately, that is all there is!!!  I  have spent like 3 years
trying to find that song.  I know it's gotta be 80s-early 90s new wave
because the DJ who mixed the CD, that's what he mixes.  My husband
thought it might be "the neverending story" but they lyrics from the
artist (lehmal sp?) don't match up.

I have the NeverEnding Story's 45 by Limahl, and it's not him.

I'll keep searching.

It may help to get accurate lyrics.  Here's what I've been able to
document so far.  Please let me know if you think I missed any words,
or heard incorrectly:

So many people die(d)
I gotta dream they live under the sun
In so many numbers
So little time to reveal what they?ve done
It ?(in)   a time bomb . . . .

One in a million
On the road of my life

So many people go to war
So many people said I?m crazy and I can?t take
And I will carry the day

Carry the day

Thanks for the rating and the tip! I have to admit that I'm a fan of
80's electronica and dance music... but I didn't know this one and
that annoyed me enough to track down DJ Mode to ask him directly. :)

Hope you are able to acquire the CD!

aht-ga,
You're very welcome.  You wouldn't happen to have DJ Mode's email
address?  I want to buy some of his Cd's or at least know when he will
be spinning in Chicago.  (small world that it is, I actually went to
grade school with him & my husband went to high school with him, but I
have lost his contact info!)

Thanks!!!

I actually do have his e-mail address (it's how I contacted him),
however I do not think that I should post it here without his
permission. What I can tell you, though, is that I found his e-mail
address online while researching this question. I suggest that you
keep an eye on his soon-to-be-released website, http://www.remode.us/
; in his response to my query, he mentioned that it should be released
very soon. I expect that contact information will be made available on
that website as part of the release. I'm sorry, there are certain
rules I have to operate within as a Google Answers Researcher, so in
this case I think it's best that I err on the side of caution.

Incidentally, are you familiar with how to look up domain registration
records? You will often find contact information for the registered
domain owner in the registration record for that domain. That
information is technically public, so anyone asking a question about
the contact information for a website administrator would be able to
receive a satisfactory answer; asking for contact information for an
individual who is not clearly a public figure, is a grey area.
