Okay, first off:

Around 2001-2002 was a (techo, I think) song that started off with something like an airport PA talking about atmospheric interference, it had a little bit of a "bouncy" beat. I don't recall it having any other lyrics.

Then there was another song around 1997-2002 with parts of lyrics sounding like "haw yeah", "tingity is a I'd rather be and no can say... haw yeah....nuh-uh!" "back back movit movit, say back back movit movit" "check out ma rap again ya'll" "our mystery unravels"

Another song, in 2001 by a (I think) French techno artist, the video was a cartoon CGI/3D one, featuring two recurring characters in his videos: a short man with no chin and a bulbous nose, and a tall guy with black/brown curtain hair. The video was set in a stock-exchange where the guy with no-chin was using body-language to tell the dealer (curtain-hair) to buy/sell stocks, the video ends with a stock-market crash and everyone jumping from Wall Street's windows. IIRC part of the lyrics contained "widescreen... if.you know what I mean, there's people dying every day"

Sometime in the late 90s there was a song by (what sounded like) a british MC (Londoner/African) with the lyrics "with a little bit of luck, we can make it through the night", the African influences make it sound like "wid a l'll bit o' luck, we can make it through de night"

Finally, late 90s/2000s was a song with a female artist with "smile" as part of the chorus, no song with the title "smile" I've found is what I'm after.

I've googled all of these lyrics extensibly and haven't found any info on them.

Well, "Smile" by Vitamin C was big in 1999 or 2000, could that be it?

"Smile"
Alright...
Alright...

First of all

When you wake up in the evening and the day is shot
Find yourself complaining 'bout the thing you ain't got
Never crossed just the way that you wanted it to
Cliche of the day, cest la vie that's just


Life, it ain't easy
It's so tough
It ain't easy
(Whatchu wanna do, say whatchu gonna do)
Put a smile on your face
Make the world a better place
Put a smile on your face
(Whatchu wanna do, say whatchu gonna do)
Put a smile on your face
Make the world a better place
Put a smile on your face
(Whatchu wanna do, say whatchu gonna do)

And another thing

You can say that I'm a dreamer and you think it's uncool
Preaching 'bout the better life I learned in school
But you get what you give in this life that we live
And all that you do come back to you



Yo,
When things isn't right there's no need to fight
Come on be nice
No need to fight
Stay polite even when you're hurting don't forget to smile
Give love to our nation, big or small
When you do good you'll get your reward
United with stand, divided we fall
Put a smile on your face and greet one and all



People love you when you smile
And hate you when it's through
Lots of happiness
We are wishing you
If you come from Jamaica or Honolulu, yeah
Keep a smile on your face
I'll see the good that you do

Smile (smile)
And everything will be fine..
