It's kind of a rock song I guess...singer is a male...deep voice...and all I remember is that he mentions "Witchita" in the song. Something about going to Witchita or something.

"Witchita Lineman" recorded by Glen Cambell and written by Jimmy Webb;
Dr. MordridI am a lineman for the county and I drive the main road
Searchin' in the sun for another overload
I hear you singing in the wires I can hear you through the whine
And the Wichita lineman is still on the line
I know I need a small vacation but it don't look like rain
And if it snows that that stretch down south won't ever stand the strain
And I need you more than want you and I want you for all time
And the Wichita lineman is still on the line
And I need you more than want you and I want you for all time
And the Wichita lineman is still on the lineLast edited by Dr Mordrid; 12 May 2003, 15:01.Dr. Mordrid

How about "Whichta Skyline" by Shawn Colvin;
Dr. MordridDown at the train they go to Independence everyday
But anywhere else now seems like a million miles away
And I must have been high to believe that I would ever leave
Now I'm just a flat fine line like the Wichita skyline
I rode on the airstream across the great lonesome afternoon
I wished hard enough to hurt, drove fast enough to catch the moon
But I must have been dreaming again 'cause there's nothing around the bend
Except for that flat fine line, the Wichita skyline
As far as Salina I can get that good station from LaRue
I'm searching the dial while I'm scanning the sky for a patch of blue
And I watch the black clouds roll in chasing me back again
Back to the flat fine line, the Wichita skylineDr. Mordrid

Any possibility it (the one you're thinking of) was REM's cover version? Although that one's live, so you would have heard the crowd on it.Originally posted by Kooldino

It COULD be the REM version, but i can't find it anywhere. Damn.
But the guy had a REALLY deep voice. And the song rocked.Comment

I'll rip/Ogg it up and send it to you if you want. PM me your email address.
Although if you're saying he had a REALLY deep voice, it probably wasn't Michael Stipe.Blah blah blah nick blah blah confusion, blah blah blah blah frog.Comment

Everytime I see the name Wichita I think of the film Planes, Trains and Automobiles
