Very vague song request from misheard lyrics

[qwerty]

Um, I heard a song last night and I want to identify it. I heard the lyrics as "Pick me up, joanna pick me up" but obviously that isn't correct because I've tried google. It sounds like it's sung by a black guy with a caribbean-ish accent i think...

Anyone have any idea what I'm on about?

Eddy Grant - Gimme Hope Joanna

Edit: The lyric is 'Give me hope' btw, which is why you had trouble. (or gimme, if we're being pedantic)

Yes I know the tune you mean, I can't remember what it was called however.

Thanks guys. OcUK *** yet again

Is this the same song from that advert with the healthy drink, with their mouths opening very wide as they sing the song?

I seriously hope it isn't the Yop! advert you're talking about .

That advert is too creepy....

....this thread reminds me of that site 'kissthisguy'. Named after the misheard Jimi Hendrix Lyric.
