Hiya, im looking for a song, It was a dance track released a few years
ago, so its not too old, there wasnt much in the way of lyrics, but i
can remember the music video, it features two manequins in a shop
window, who liked eachother, and from what i can remember they ended
up in a car taking eachothers clothes off!! I know it sounds werid but
it was a good tune. I think the song was called ''Make Love'' but i
just cant find it anywhere. The song was played on MTV dance alot when
it was out. Im after the artist and the name of the track. Hope
someone can help! Thanks!!

Hi richievts,

I believe the song you are thinking of is "Love and Affection" by Mr.
Pink [Joey Negro Mix]

You can listen to it here:
(Click on the icon for "Love and Affection")
http://www.beatport.com/artist/Mr.+Pink


Mr Pink presents The Program
"Love & Affection"
"This new hit is from the teaming up of one relatively unknown DJ and
Dave Lee (aka Joey Negro, Raven Maize, Jakatta and many more names
besides!) It's a cover of the Joan Armatrading classic in a trancy
style, and seems to have been in clubland and on dance radio shows for
an eternity. Naturally, it isn't able to live up to the standard of
the original, but as a trance tune it works, and is certainly
listenable."

Another review:
"Despite the fact that many still refuse to believe America can be on
top of it's tunes, we happen to know that this single from Manifesto
is currently all the rage overseas... entering the UK charts at 22
only after 2 weeks in stores. Oddly enough, it's a reworking of an old
Joan Armatrading song, souped up with slices from Joey Negro and Dave
Lee, aka Jakatta ("American Dream"), that's about as fabulously fun as
it gets. This is the tune that gets people smiling at each other on
the dance floor, bringing some much needed light to the tribal tastes
of today. If the sound clips don't make you smile, you're just bein'
stubborn."

The girl that sang "(It's) Murder on the Dance Floor" had a follow up
song, in that video I seem to remember Mannequins.

Cheers

If the video you're looking for is the one aussietpp remembers, which
does indeed have lots of mannequins, it would be Sophie Ellis Bextor's
"Get Over You." It's referenced on this page describing music videos
that use mannequins/robots. You can click on the little cameras under
her name and get some still shots of the video, and also click on her
name, which will take you to her website. In the "My Music" section
you can listen to a clip of the song to see if it's the right one.

(Look for Bextor, Sophie Ellis)

Hi guys, its neither of the above :(

In the video it featured only 2 mannequins, im pretty sure the song
was called 'make love' and the lyrics were aong the lines of ''sing it
sing it sing it - make  looove, lovvin wooo-hoo''  lol i sound like a
raving looney but i swear it was an excellent dance track. I'm
offering a good tip to anyone who cracks this for me.
Thanks again for the guesses guys, the search continues :)

I believe I have found the song you are thinking of. However, it was
remixed into a dance version and I have not yet located the name of
the artist who sang this version. I'll keep searching.

Best regards,
Rainbow

If by "artist" Richie means the lead female vocal, that would still be
Joan Armatrading, I think? They've just sampled small bits and pieces
of the original, played with the tempo, and probably filtered the
sound of of her voice and the backing vocals in some way (in my
limited understanding of how they do remixes). It seems to me from
listening to the complete original that only the spoken words aren't
Armatrading, and the description below also seems to suggest that the
vocal core of the song comes from the original recording. I guess the
djs are considered the "artists," however, when remixes are made? It's
an interesting genre.

"Messrs Lee [Joey Negro] and Sullivan [Mr. Pink]  take the classic
original and twist it around a thunderous, insanely funky disco-house
groove[,] making this update of 'Love & Affection' a slab of primetime
house gear that'll move most floors without fail."
