Great new song on the radio, help me ID it (1 Viewer)

Sorry, couldn't catch the lyrics but it's a male singer, sounds kind of like a garage band singer; ie, not a great voice, but good for rock and roll. Strong, driving beat. But the hook is the killer vocals by female background singers during the chorus...sounds almost like "laaaayyyyla...lay-ay-la, laaaaayyyyla...lay-ay-la" and then the guy comes back in with the vocals. Sounds great, fresh, and retro at the same time.

I don't know, but the description of the chorus looks/sounds like the omnipresent song Hey Ya by Outkast. Of course, Outcast doesn't fit with the garage rock angle. Sorry I can't help, but now I've got that damn Hey Ya chorus stuck in my head. Aargh!

That's it, Steve! I just checked the sample on Amazon. Thanks!
