My friend passed me his Hail To The Thief (Radiohead) record, which was
bought don't-know-where and obviously it's not original. Though, it's quite
allright, but track 4 is not Backdrifts as it should be, but it's this very
non-Radiohead song whose ID is still unknown to me.

The song starts with beat-drums and punctures, Chemical Bros-style, and a
catchy, simple tune in the background. Then comes the singer who sounds like
Thom Yorke-overdrunk... And sings

"I wanna see the rock stop... [??]
The rock stop, walking on my ???
Until the rock stops I
won't sleep tonight"

And that should be the chorus. Then come some very short verses but the
whole song is a lot focused on the chorus. It's been so long that I tried to
discover the band name behind that song.
Would you please help me! :-)))
TIA,
Bravo

"Stop The Rock" exists from Apollo 440.
Do you mean that, by any chance?

The lyrics for that one - Stop the Rock by Apollo 440 - are apparently :

Stop the rock, (stop the rock )
Stop the rock, (stop the rock ) can't stop the rock. x2
Stop the rock, (stop the rock ), we can't stop the rock. x2
(repeat)

Shake my paranoida , can't stop the rock x4

Shake my paranoida, my groove is grooving x2
Dancing like Madonna, into the grooving..

Come on get down and dirty baby ! x4
Down and dirty baby x4

Shake the rock like Candy mo.
Shake the rock till we wanna hold

It's a while since I've heard it so I can't attest to the validity of the
lyrics, but they don't sound what the OP quoted exactly. Though the track is
very (commercial) Chemical Brothers in style.

Right, I know that song, and I'm sure that's not the one I was asking for.
The tune I was talking about has a beat definitely slower than Apollo 440's
track, and it's more catchy-pop-style, even if the singer's voice as I said
was more... Crooner-like.

Yup that's right, but *my* track apparently has a rougher audio and
punctures. Reminds me more of the old CB.
Anyways thank you so much guys for getting into it.
Keep up the bright ideas! :-)

It's not a Radiohead song though :D

The Sun, Rockstop
