What's the name of the early-mid 2000's song that sounds like Beyonce, starts with a "dun...dun... dun DUN!" guitar part, and the singer makes this "dabudabudabu" sound in a soft way?

Sung by an American singer. I can't remember any of the actual lyrics, it was a pop song with R&B elements, the guitar instrument is this electronic sound and the guitar parts are sudden and spaced 2-3 seconds apart and only a second long. It's a very vocally intense song and the singer sounds like she's angry or shouting. Then there's this really angelic/harmonic part where she goes oooaaaaahhhaaaaaaahhh and then the guitar part like in the intro kicks in again

It's driving me nuts lol

This guy, doesn't need clarification questions, doesn't explain how he came to the answer, doesn't add boiler plate words like "This could be, this might be".

He just answered.

Same, this actually matches OP's obtuse description quite well! Also this song is a banger

Are you sure it's a Beyonce song and not Sandstorm by Darude?

SaraTonin@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 306d

Oh, I misread the “oooaaaaahhhaaaaaaahhh” bit, so my mind went Kelis, I Hate You So Much Right Now

Man that made me think of this episode of Cromartie High where everyone is humming a different song.

Does it then continue with a bongo and the words uhhu uhhu uhhu or with a soft guitar play and a whistling-kind of sound?

lagoon8622@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 306d

I think the bongo only comes in after the kazoo part where it goes zzzZZZzZZZZZzzzzzzZZz

I know this was already solved and I know this didn't entirely fit your description, but when I read dun... dun dun DUN, I couldn't help but think of master of puppets by Metallica https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=E0ozmU9cJDg

It fits the vocalized part you were talking about too except the sound is coming from a guitar

Tuuktuuk@piefed.ee · 4 pts · 305d

Hm, yeah. Metallica does kind of sound like Beyonce, when you give it a thought! :)

neidu3@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 306d

Record a hum/whistle sample and upload somewhere

fulcrummed@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 306d (1 reply)

Not quite a match but the description makes me think of Kelis - Caught Out There

nylo@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 306d

I'm invested, no guesses but would probably have a few if a hum was added

edit: I'm trying to make it Britney, toxic or baby one more time maybe?

ChatGPT:

Beyoncé – “Don’t Hurt Yourself” (has that angry, distorted rock-guitar R&B mix, intense shouting, and spaced riffs)

Halsey – “Nightmare” (pop/R&B fusion with shouting vocals and electronic guitar bursts)

Demi Lovato – “Heart Attack” (that mix of pop-R&B and rock guitar stabs with powerful belting)

FKA twigs – “Cellophane” or “Two Weeks” (more ethereal, but has that contrast between angelic vocals and sharp production)

JandroDelSol@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 306d (1 reply)

nightmare came out in like 2020 and sounds nothing like the descriptions

LaLuzDelSol@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 306d

Never heard this song before but it looks like "Don't Hurt Yourself" by Beyoncé fits the bill.
