Overtime there's a promo for this they play a very high pitched and harsh voice sing about one line of a song. It's very distinctive and getting on my never. Anyone know who is singing and wha the lyrics are?

Without any more details I'd guess "Loving You" by Minnie Riperton.

Yeah, I didn't provide much detail. I can't make out the lyrics and they always play it over something so I don't get to see the performer. Not Minnie, I'm familiar with her her voice. She did have quite a range but her voice has a softness to it. This voice has a real edge.

Ok, I was wrong, it's the 90's this little snippet is being played for. During some of the commercials we get a glimpse of a female African American singer. It sounds like she's singing "Everybody ..... Now." I can't make out the middle word.

Well, as there were so many more annoying songs released in the '90s than in the '70s, you're dealing with a much larger field of potentials.

If it's being used in a commercial for The 90's, it's probably "Everybody Dance Now" which was a big hit by some one hit one wonder.

That was it. It was driving me nuts not being able to make out that middle word. Thank you.
