Lam-WHAT-a ???

Several years ago, I bought the Lambada Forbidden Dance movie soundtrack (after first buying the 1990 movie directed by Greydon Clark on VHS years earlier), primarily for one song in particular, and was disappointed to find that one of the best songs in the whole movie never made it to the music CD. I just spent about a week researching it on the web (going by the 2 possible (seemingly obvious) titles “Lambada” and “The Forbidden Dance”), but with the lone exception of a single 3 min. video clip from the movie on YouTube (see “Lambada, The Forbidden Dance!”), I can’t even find reference to the song I’m hunting for ANYWHERE else on the web - and I’m not even sure about it’s title now; and never did know who the artist was. Google was no help either, and was even a bit misleading at times - as it kept referring to WRONG versions of the song by either “Kaoma” or “Sasha Lazard”. I’ve been to many so-called “lyrics sites” and even been to at least a half dozen “sample it” type music sites just to make sure. Not only can I not find the original English version track for sale anywhere, but I can’t even find a web page containing it’s English version lyrics - where I could at least expect to get the real title and artist name from. I believe the song played during the dance contest scene near the end of the movie, but my tape no longer plays. It was sung in English by a male vocalist (Latino, I think), and it’s opening lyrics were “From the Amazons, down to the Rio streams,… from the rivers’ dreams, drums a jungle beat - it’s Lambada, what a treat!”. The chorus is “Lambada, Lambada, Lambada the song of romance. Lambada, Lambada, Lambada the forbidden dance.”. Other lyrics include: “Come and get entranced, it’s forbidden, take a chance - it’s Lambada song and dance!”, and “This impressive sound finds a heart that pounds. Let your senses drown, never touching ground - it’s Lambada that you found!”. It’s hard to accurately make out the rest due to voice-over chatter and other theatrical audio clutter from the movie drowning it out.

I’m about to consider buying the movie again on DVD, taking it to a sound studio, and bribing them to ignore the copyright BS and try to rip a copy of it from the flick, and try to produce a digitally remastered clean copy by removing all the movie noise; but that sounds like an expensive project for just one song. “One thousand zoinkers” to anyone out there who can accurately tell me for certain the track title and artist name for the “English” version of the song I just described - end “extra kudos” if you can tell me where to buy it! I’m even open to downloading it as a torrent file, if you can provide the “torrent file name” of a known “clean” English version copy, and what P2P site to get it from. I also have PayPal, just in case anyone out there has already gone to the expense of acquiring a digitally remastered English version, and has a clean copy for sale. As for all you greedy nosy MPAA “anti-file-sharing” police who happen to be looking in ,… @#$% YOU!,… and let this be a prime example in support of free file sharing - and the next time you market a movie soundtrack, make sure that it contains ALL the music from the damn movie!
