Alright. Here's what I know.

It's from the 90s.
It's by a female singer.
It has a part about going to a coffee shop and looking out a window.
It's chorus is something like: "Do, du do do du doto doto do doo" -- a string of "Do"s.

I HAVE to hear it again!
Any idea what it is?

Just curious. [Smile]

I love that song, I'd forgotten about it [Smile]

The one by just Suzanne Vega is actually from '87 and is mostly a capella. The one from the 90's with the "do do do do"s and techno was a collaboration with DNA.

And, yeah, Suzanne Vega rocks. "My name is Luka. I live on the second floor..." Solitude Standing has been one of my favorite CDs for a while.

Her cover of Leonard Cohen's "Story of Isaac" is amazing.

And if Trivial Pusuit allowed Google I'd be unstoppable. But so would anybody. [Smile]

You should check out Rickie Lee Jones, especially her first two albums, the first one is self-titled, the second is called "Pirates". Some achingly beautiful, poignant songs, with great lyrics.
