About Kerry Echols
Expertise
All types of questions welcome. Before asking a question, try searching the word "lyrics," along with any lyrics you remember (within quote marks if you are sure of their accuracy), at www.Google.com. Most answers are quickly found this way. You should also try www.allmusic.com. You can also search by song title at amazon.com and www.spun.com.


Experience in the area
I have been ardently collecting music of all genres (except classical and heavy metal) for the past 25 years, in both vinyl and CD formats. I have a detailed knowledge of landmark UK indie labels such as Factory, 4AD, Disques du Crepuscule, etc. (and their respective releases by such bands as Joy Division, The Fall, and The Wolfgang Press), as well as most major pop acts. I'm also familiar with early '80s acts such as Gary Numan, OMD, The Human League, Seefeel, Cabaret Voltaire, Coil, Kraftwerk, Mouse on Mars, Brian Eno, Echo and the Bunnymen, Siouxsie/The Creatures, Wire, Talking Heads, The Specials, Public Image Ltd., English Beat, XTC, Japan/David Sylvian, Grace Jones, Devo, Thomas Dolby, New Order, The Damned, Dead Can Dance, Eurythmics, Big Audio Dynamite, The Cramps, Catherine Wheel, David Bowie, The Monochrome Set, etc.

Question
I tried looking this on google and some websites you suggested but to no avail. I'm looking for what title of this song and who's the artist. The lyrics come with "dont put your finger on the pocket" it sounds like it came from New Order and it's kinda techno/electro pop kind of music.

Answer
This sounds like New Order's "Don't Do It." They lyrics are actually "Don't put your finger on the button," and are spoken by a computer, or are a sample of film dialogue. If I remember, that's all that's repeated through the otherwise instrumental song. The song only appeared as a B-side to the Fine Time 12 inches and CD singles. Both formats have some great mixes of the A-side. You can hear samples here:

The above is for the U.S. CD single. There is a Canadian one, though, that has an extra track called "Fine Line," which was otherwise only available on the 12". It is only an instrumental of Fine Time, though.:

You'll need to look on eBay or www.gemm.com. Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk may have one, too.

A good resource for all things New Order is http://www.worldinmotion.net.

You almost stumped me. This was a tough question . . . .
