Default Pointless Plea For Help

A bit of a tricky one, this: there's a tune, often used on telly, which sounds like "Who are you, da da da da daaaa". It's a bit New Age-sounding, I think about 2 years old, has a strong bass line with the vocal pretty distant in the mix.

For 10 points, what is it? Please... it's driving me crackers!!

Sounds like a horrid rappy thing to start, then gets into the bit you hear.

PS
Hmm! no not sure that fits your description, oh well. If it isn't the Beverly Sisters I would not know.

If it is the CSI theme then it's Who are You? by the Who, but from the description I doubt this is it.

I bet it is - my o/h was amazed when I produced vinyl copy of said tune - even more so when I produced my copy of Who's next (1971) for the other csi themes

Foo fighters - The Pretender?

The guitar riff after "who are you" could fit if you were drunk and deaf.

Doubtful. It could be European. As I said, it's a bit trance music-ish, which must help you all enormously. A bit choral, too.
