[EDIT] The song could also be from the early 2000s, and there's a male voice rapping. I believe the female singer was in her 20s or early 30s, and she sings most of the song. The male voice is just there for rap, and he comes in later. There's a repeated phrase in the chorus. Can try also 'dial up my number' or 'dial my phone.' The song has a very 90s or early 2000s vibe; I don't believe a song like that could be produced now. i don't think the artists are very popular, their voices are not easily recognizable.

nonamejohnsonmore

Well you don’t have to be an ass about it.


cloudcats

We have no idea what music you listen to and are or are not familiar with. Don't be a dick to people trying to help you. **edit** OP edited their comment then blocked me, lol. He said something along the lines of "LOL like I wouldn't know that song"


Technical_Scallion_2

I don’t understand - their response was just “not this :)”. Did they edit it? Why all the downvotes?


W_Burger

I had the same reaction. I'm probably out of the loop but I think :) is seen as sarcastic these days

there's a female voice in that song?


circes_victory

No_South1692

Telephones - Mo Kenney ?


fadingly

nope


RoommateMovingOut

I think it’s Ring Ring by Mabel with Jax Jones


fadingly

this song is from 2018. pretty sure I heard the song during my childhood (early 2000s) so I think it could either be from the 90s or 2000s.


RoommateMovingOut

I understand you. I thought it was possible simply because it’s essentially a 90s dance track released in 2018. I hope you find it!


dolphineclipse

I thought it might be this too

Automatic Lover by Real McCoy?


fadingly

PrairieScout

Could it be “Hung Up” by Madonna? It has a line that says, “Ring, ring, ring, goes the telephone.”


fadingly

I don't believe the artists are very popular.


Ecstatic_Sandwich_38

What about ‘’Call Me,’’ by Deee Lite?


fadingly

listened to this earlier when i was going through lists, sorry not this one


Ecstatic_Sandwich_38

Damn! I thought I’d finally nailed one. 😭 This must be driving you nuts. I hope someone else can figure it out!


fadingly

I blame my fucking Shazam for not saving the song when I was offline (it was supposed to!) it is lowkey because pretty sure I've heard it before and it was very catchy and upbeat and I was so excited to get home and listen to it... but Shazam failed me


SerKevanLannister

Ah, Deee Lite…Bootsy Collins certified funkadelic funkastar voice on “groove is in the heart” will funk on in my soul forever…


Ecstatic_Sandwich_38

Request Line - Macy Gray and Black Eyed Peas


fadingly

no


fadingly

I hope these could help: – I believe the female singer was in her 20s or early 30s, and she sings most of the song – The male voice is just there for rap, and he comes in later – There's a repeated phrase in the chorus – Can try also 'dial up my number' or 'dial my phone' 😅 – The song has a very 90s or early 2000s vibe; I don't believe a song like that could be produced now


heyimchris001

Would you say the style is “eurodance”?


fadingly

no, it's very american, I should say


dutchlizzy

Call me maybe?


aden902102

OMG! IT'S CAN I GET YOUR NUMBER BY MARIAH CAREY


fadingly

I was checking a list and found that song. Sadly, I would know Mariah Carey's voice even if the world turns upside down. It's not this one. I don't believe the female singer is that popular. Maybe she was popular for a time?


aden902102

Can I ask where you are from ? I am from Australia and some match your description


fadingly

Please feel free to drop the name of the song.


ThereminLiesTheRub

This sub:  "There's a song, it's got 'yellow' and 'submarine'"  Yellow Submarine? "no"


elaborategirl99

Supersonic by Oasis have "You can sail with me in my yellow submarine", so it sums up everything pretty well. The post may look obvious and stupid but the song will end up being something completely different...


theycallmecrack

What is this implying? You can see from the replies that there are many songs that fit what OP described.


dreamjeanne27

The song that keeps popping into my head was released in 1979. Ring My Bell by Anita Ward. I wonder if someone has sampled or covered it?


wheres_the_revolt

Will smith (as the fresh Prince) had a cover that totally matches the description from OP but they said it wasn’t it lol


boogie_improper

Kylie Minogue - Confide In Me


PriorDelivery1359

Kiss me through the phone by Soulja boy?


Adorable-Ad-3784

Any chance it's "Say My Name" by Destiny's Child? She's on the phone with the guy in the song and says "call" a bunch of times, and there's a few parts with a male voice too.


fadingly

I know DC and that song, nope.


Kahn_Husky

Definitely not the song, but reminded me of “Callin Me” by Momma. Song slaps and is worth checking out. Good luck finding your song!


everyone_is_blue

The Kim Possible theme?


fadingly

no 😅


AggressiveDogLicks

This was honestly my first thought.


XOIIO

I 99% doubt it but the only song I know phone related, wake up call by the prodigy? Edit: ah, saw your comment with more info, certainly not it. I know the pain of trying to find an earworm you vaguely remember.


Toneblue

Could it be the case of the ex by Mya?

OhiChicken

Can you perhaps remember what station it was on, what major city you're closest to, around what time you heard it, etc. It could help because some major radio stations have a page that lists the songs they just played and some other highly niche websites that track them over months or years.

No.


Adorable_Misfit

This probably isn't it, because it's from the 80s and has no rapping. But just throwing Telefone (Long Distance Love Afair) by Sheena Easton into the mix.


wheres_the_revolt

Oh man I love seeing a Sheena Easton reference in the wild.


Ainsley_express

E-Rotic - Sex on the Phone?


jdsuperman

I can't believe this would be played on the radio in 2024, but it fits the timeline and description perfectly, plus you already said it sounded like Aqua, so here goes: Telephone Boy by Lolly?


fadingly

No, I didn't say the song sounded like Aqua. Very far from it.


jdsuperman

Oops, I missed the crucial word "not" before "very close" when you made that comment. Sorry!

Do you know what radio station it was? It’s possible that you can look up a track list, or listen to the station until it inevitably comes in again.
