It goes something like woah-o-ah-ohhhhhhhhhhhh wa-oh-a-ohhhhhhhhhhhhh

80s song, VERY famous but I don't know the name of the song/artist, I'm 99% sure it was in Vice City.

Sound familiar to anyone?

Well, if you can remember the in-game radio station it's on, I'm sure you could find it on YouTube.

I believe you're thinking of Wow by Kate Bush.

Nope, its a male singer and the chant is more of a "woah" or woow-ah, and and sounds like more than one singing :P

As I was listening to this I was pretty uncertain. It could have been that. But it doesn't seem like... The vocals are very similiar. Well my mum grew up in the 80s, I'll ask her (better at recreating the beat)

:lol: Loving the classic 80s tunes itt, Vice City had the best GTA music by far, Hall (or Oates, dunno which is which haha) has a great 'tash too.

Was Tarzan Boy the song TC was after?

I also love the Uniting Nations remix of Out of Touch - and the video is very appealing to my baser instincts too.

It wasn't "Tarzan Boy" by Baltimora? I figured it would've been that with the whoa-a-ohah you stated.

Well crap, she thought it was jungle life (tarzan boy) sounds similiar, but there's not that many oh-a-ohs in the song I'm talking about.

its more like multiple singers (wo-oh-a *DUNNGGGG* wo-oh-a *DUNGGG*)

No man Laura Branigan self control... Skip to 3:48 to here it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKB1VMmazk0

It was confusing for me because I was looking for male singers, but the woah-o-ah part is still a male, but the actual song is by a female.

Your Love by The Outfield on Flash FM is one of my favorites. And Travisstags, you're right. It's also one of the gayest videos I've ever seen but I still like the song. HaHahaHaHa

I was an 80's kid too and I remember ALL these songs.

The funny thing is that the male vocals on Branigan's song that he was talking about sound like they could've been dubbed off of the Tarzan Boy song. HaHa lol

If you want to know all of the stations and what songs were played on them HERE YOU GO

And if you want to just listen to the music from the game on Last.fm, go here Vice City Soundtrack and click on "Play Grand Theft Auto" grey button at the top middle

This isn't that popular of a song, if it weren't for that jungle whooboy hook this would have never made it out of the Baltimora's butt hole. Hence, the song title Tarzan Boy via the OG HIP dipping partyboy fan base, Baltimora... You're welcome, enjoi - DJ Tuckahoe Baltimora - "Tarzan Boy" ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_r0n9Dv6XnY
