Help - what's the title of this song?

I can't remember the title of this song.

The one that goes:

da Daa Daa da da da de daaaa
da da da da da de da da de da da da..

I think it's like some kind of European folk song that they recycle a lot in European pop themes. Vaguely Eastern European, but it could be Greek for all I know.

What I wrote is how the song goes.

And it has a beat like

Boppity dum dum chika chika - but really fast.

But I can sure see where you are getting your answer from.

I've heard it as an instrumental piece, but if it has lyrics, I don't know if they are English.

Again, those weren't the lyrics.

But, really weird... Sting is going to be in Prague on June 25, and I have a meeting there that week, so I was looking to figure out how to get tickets, but I'm now pretty much convinced that not only is it hard to figure out the Czech language, but I'm not sure it even makes sense to them. That would go a long way toward explaining Kafka.
