Oh, memory sooo sketchy about this one.

It may not even be called this, it may not EVEN have this as the lyric, anyway it sounds something like:

(womans voice) "love me baby, love me baby, par-ee-ark, and rii-ee-ii-eee-iiide"

then a blokes voice : park... and ride... followed by big beat.

surely, this must ring some bells with someone ? If not, I'll be forced to sing it and upload it!

Hi Jamie,my sincere apologies for not being about for ages [as in `kin ages] [work,work and more work] but I`ll defo make the effort from now on.The track you want is K+M Funk and Drive ,if you google it there`s a full version on there.I`ve still been sourcing lots of rare TdV mixes so have a few surprises! [ I forget how to do the upload thing as it`s been so long so a quick refresh would be appreciated] Thanks a million,Mark

wooooh! Thanks! I went to that track, and whilst that line "funk and drive" is definitely the sample in the track I was thinking of, that isn't the track.

Anyway, armed with that phrase I found the one I was thinking of:

Elevatorman - Funk and Drive

I've been through about 4 different mixes looking for the one I wanted, but all were less similar than the original:

Hi Jamie,only too glad to help out,I`m sure I`ve got the 12inch somewhere [possibly two] ,and remember it on at least one of Tony`s mixes,and Jon Pleased used to play it a lot.I`ve got so many records [5k+] and TdV mixes [100+] it would take a while to dig out but I`ll do it for you. Check discogs.com as well,you might have to cross-refer,the site used to be easier before and give all permutations but it`s gone a bit "buy here" rather than the pure info approach it used to have.I`m sure it will show up soon.A mate of mine was looking for "Interactive,Point Of No Return" from the old Trade days for 6 years,I went searching and found it online in Germany 2 weeks later! Result! Laters,Mark
Update,I`ve just had a look at my Tdv book/file,it`s track 13 on his Essential Mix [with whailing intro [unforgattable/how could I forget?] After Jx You belong to me and before The Phorce Strong.I`m definitely going to have a root through the records to see if I have it [it`s credited to Wired records],I`ve just had a listen to the e/mix and it`s definitely tougher than the fluffier versions you posted with definite a TdV feel to it so poss a test/unreleased pressing.By the way,I`ve got a definite surprise coming up as I`ve found a remix of a familiar old tune with the TdV stamp all over it,in the middle of a rare mix tape,defo! A tenner to the first person [registered to this site] that spots it,it may take a long while as I`ve forgotten how to upload,it could be in any of the next few uploads and it might need clearance first so be patient!
