I notice a curious and significant intolerance among teh RP audience for any vocals that divert from the mainstream Western Pop style. Unfortunate that, really.
Singing like this woman does requires an incredible amount of skill and voice control.
If that is really a human making those sounds, without the aid of studio trickery, then I'm well impressed. But while I may be impressed I still don't find it entertaining in anything beyond as a curiosity (and once is enough). I second what an earlier post said, if it is just tricks then I'm not impressed.
I'm not a hater, so I won't rate the song.

Ithaca is my hometown although I haven't lived there in about 30 years now.

Oh crap... this makes me laugh... a lot... can't stop... don't quite know why... it just fits somehow... hahahaha
YUBNUB!!!!
YUBNUB!!!!
Interesting... I've always enjoyed Deep Forest music to a certain degree. The singer reminds me of an incredible Hungarian singer I met at a music/dance festival. It takes a lot of talent and practice to carry off a sound like this. Of course there are those who prefer something different... whatever
I found this offensive nearly >15 years ago when it came out and find it excruciating now. There is so much excellent, "pure" music out there and some fine examples of taking obscure regional musical styles and injecting modern influence that this comes off as childish. Like a cheerful, unintelligible and kitsch Dead Can Dance was what anyone needed.
Way too repetitive
Way too annoying
Waaaaay too long
Few songs on RP get as many "1"s in the ratings as this song has. There are a lot of people who really don't think this song is very good.
I was motivated to walk into the other room and log in just so I could give this one a low rating. It's just not good.

A puritan I see!! Maybe we should have stopped progressing music with Gregorian chants.
geee .... that sucks.
If you want to create ethno music, then do 100% ethno music. and not just take an interesting, extraordinary and rare ethno voice and add some boring, common drum lines that you've heard a thousand times before.
I don't know if my speaker system here is so bad or if the voice has been altered electronically - if the latter, than this song sucks even more.

Can't tell what's worse, the music or the album cover.
I like it! Fun, interesting stuff for a Friday.
Yuck. And I'm normally a huge fan of world/African music. This is just too cheezy.
I can't tell if this is a kiddie, or an adult singer in a very strange register. It would take some getting used to, and you'd have to be in a strange old mood to enjoy it ;-|

Wow!!! I'm surprised at all the hate for a nice, chill, relaxing piece of music. And I don't think the 'yodeling' sounds out of place. This song deserves more love. A 7 for me.

Another example of a song I would never have remembered that I once liked if RP hadn't dusted it off and played it for us.
I'm feeling relaaaaaaaxed.

Thank you Bill, I am always astounded at your ability to play the most amazing songs. This is a wonderfully beautiful song.
Has the singer been inhaling Helium?
Painful
Works for the the sort of intresting background.
yes, still barfing.
WHAT THE HELL

Ugh, Deep Forest can be ok when chilling out, but why do they have to stick the same yodeling kid in every other track?
(Ed: Ok so they were pygmys. Still blah, call me politically incorrect. ;))

Sounds like Ewoks on Drugs
Ewoks?
i believe it's the fairy folk in chorus as the midrithians march thru the marsh up onto the shore and on to the glade
I enjoy world music. This one sounds like Disney's Small World with interruptions courtesy of a hyper leapin' lizard bouncing in from time to time. ick.
My wife and I used to listen to the original Deep Forest album with this song in the evening. Very relaxing music with a very intentional world-music bent. I still like it.
a-WAH, a-WAH
I knew instantly that this was deep forest, and I can't decide if that is a good or a bad thing... 
Hey, i had the same comment! I would certainly have remembered those signin' pygmies.
Ewoks?
If I never heard this song again I would be o.k. with that.
Used to have this cd, don't remember this song.
Please Bill, play the original version called "Night Bird" from the Deep Forest Album.
