OK, I know this isn't much to go on but here goes.

Mid 00s, around 2006 possibly?
The chorus has a list of girl's names (it's not Mambo #5)
Disco/electo sounding, a bit funky, sung in falsetto
It had a video with the guys dressed up in futuristic space type outfits dancing about, possibly playing instruments, the video started with a spaceship coming out of a giant pair of lips (sounds gross I know and possibly sexist but I don't remember it as such).
TIA

That's not my name?

BaronessBomburst · 16/06/2020 14:13

The video sounds like Talk by Coldplay.
But there's not a list of girls' names in the chorus.

DeborahAnnabelToo · 16/06/2020 14:14

Sounds like something Scissor Sisters might have done!

Beeobserver · 16/06/2020 14:15

Thanks Norbert, but that's not it.

Can you remember any of the names?

Beeobserver · 16/06/2020 14:16

Unfortunately I don't think it was ever much a hit, itmay have included the names Maria and Monica, sorry I can't remember more.

I think (in the video at least) it was 3 black guys in the group. Had quite a funky bass line.

Watching with interest Grin

I always think of Daft Punk when I think of space bands.

DarrellRiversTuckBox · 16/06/2020 14:19

Your lyrics def sound like Mambo No5. Pretty sure he says both Maria & Monica Grin

CuriousaboutSamphire · 16/06/2020 14:19

I was going to say Beautiful South

I wrote this song for you

I love you from the bottom of my pencil case = one of the best lyrics ever.

But the video doesn't sound at all right!!

Male singer? I can't think of any falsetto singer beyond the Beegees or song with names that haven't been mentioned.
Following with interest!

Beeobserver · 16/06/2020 14:25

Thanks all, none of the above, although the look/style of music was a little bit like mid00 daft punk.
Again I know it sounds gross and creepy but I think the lyrics also contained the phrase 'Olsen twins', I think it was supposed to be an ode to beautiful women, but the more I think about it maybe I don't want to listen to it againHmm

I think you're mixing up the lyrics of Mambo no 5 with a different video

ShipshapeShore · 16/06/2020 14:29

The Darkness? No idea what song, just a guess.

HoHoHolyCow · 16/06/2020 14:34

When I think of 00s falsetto I think of Mika or The Darkness.

Beeobserver · 16/06/2020 14:35

I know it really sounds like I'm muddling the two princess, but I used to have it on an old ipod play list for running. I definitely wouldn't have downloaded Mambo #5 to run to.
Anyway, thanks all.

BearSoFair · 16/06/2020 14:35

The description of the video made me think of the Darkness too Shipshape but can't think of a song where they list names!

keepingbees · 16/06/2020 14:36

OutKast?

TheDogsMother · 16/06/2020 14:36

The words sound like 'Song for Whoever' by Beautiful South

thebearwentoverthebumble · 16/06/2020 14:38

Bowling for soup-1985.?

ComDummings · 16/06/2020 14:40

Kill Frenzy - No Panties

ComDummings · 16/06/2020 14:42

Other than that one I have no idea 😂

BaronessBomburst · 16/06/2020 14:44

Googling has come up with Pusha T Kitchen.
Which is so utterly dreadful I couldn't play it for long enough to see if the video matched the description. Confused

tutorwho · 16/06/2020 14:44

The Darkness does use a spaceship in one of the videos but they aren't black.
