What's the name of this song???


There's a song, that I've heard in this movie...I think it was played during the beginning of the movie, when that teacher was in the rain thinking to himself. There were children around, playing in the rain, listening to a stereo. There was a song playing...but all I know is that the lyrics repeatedly said..."I love you, I hate you, I love you, I hate you..." What was the name of that song?

I have not seen the movie in some time, but perhaps it is "Frou Frou" singing "Close Up"?

If that is not it, let "us" know.

reply

It sounds a lot similar, but I remember the song being alot smoother and with an R&B feel to it...

Then I literally have no clue. I went primarily based on the lyrics you noted and out of what I found, what I thought it would most likely be.

I do not suppose it will help to say if I ever buy this movie I will let you know?

Actually... scratch that. I just bought it online. It will be here most likely by next Wednesday, or maybe Friday at the latest. Do you wish for me to post back and let you know what I come up with?

Also, here is a funny story. My wife walked in at about an hour into this movie. About two weeks ago she ordered "Hotel Rwanda" thinking that it was this movie. I keep telling her that I did not think it was the same (as I have only watched about an hour of Hotel Rwanda (fell asleep)) movie. So... I check out:

http://www.hbo.com/films/sometimesinapril/index.html in search of music information and notice Idris Elba. I *know* that is the movie she is talking about now, which is not Hotel Rwanda. So, to bring this long, lethargy-induced rambling to a close, I am right, she is wrong.

Do you want the information if I get it? (In about a week.)

reply

Sure, I could use all the information you could spare...

Grr... DeepDiscountDVD needs to do a little work to their backend or something. When I put in the order it did not say anything about it needing to be backordered. Then when I got an e-mail confirmation it said it was due approximately 4/30 (to be shipped). I checked just now and it says ~4/24, which I assume means approximately that date, yet as of today I have not received an e-mail to say it has been shipped. Long story short, I will post as soon as it finally gets here. Sorry for any inconvenience.

It's ok, I'm not in any particular hurry or anything.

bigdaddyjokerman,

Just got your message. Ironic, I just received the movie yesterday.

In the beginning I could not figure it out, so I typed up every bit of musical information on the DVD. Then, like a dummy, I started to listen to it again and again and it finally dawned on me.

Now, after my wife and I have listened and re-listened to it at least thirty times, I believe I have it.

Good luck on finding it though.

Oh, and note one thing; there is no mention of "love".

"Sikutaki Tena" by Dataz, featuring Soggy Doggy Hunter.

(Actually, if you do find it, drop me a note.)

Here is what I wrote, trying to figure it out:
