I don't know the name of the band or the song, but I'm guessing at the one that's used in the final episode of The Prisoner. It features a Japanese-y female voice singing the line I, I, I, I, I, I like you very much.

edit: a little research tells me it was Carman Miranda's I, Yi, Yi, Yi, (I Like You Very Much), and that the song is originally from 1941. So maybe I'm wrong about the Japanese thing, although it always sounds that way to me.
