Can YOU name this tune?
Came out sometime between 1998 through 2001. Band sounds like, but almost surely it isn't, The Cure. Really hot guitar sounds....and the only lyrics I can recall is something like ".....the light fantastic", tightly followed by that wild guitar sound(s).
The song was rarely announced--thanks to "automated radio", so it's a mystery to me who actually did it---but I've been on the search of it for years. I've been impressed with Yahoo Answers! finding far tougher songs.....hope this one presents an easy challenge for someone.
Ok...sigh....here's my try at "mocking" the squealing guitar sound: "Ditta dit dit- DAHHH Ditta dit dit- DAHHH Ditta dit dit-DAHHH"
'Ditta dit dit-DAHHH Ditta dit dit-DAHHH......"the light fantastic".....Ditta dit dit-DAHHHH Ditta dit dit-DAAAHHH"

Well after searching the USUAL music sites and GOOGLEin the heck out of it.. Here is what I found..
LIT had an album called Tripping the Light Fantastic that came out in 1999
Sisters of Mercy have a song called Trippin the Light Fantastic...
Steve Roach came out with a cd in mid 1999 that is called The Light Fantastic and it has a song on it called that and the sample I heard sort of sounds like THE CURE.. Check it out and see what you think...

GODDAMN YOU!!
Haven't let you in 'cause I'm in you

The only "light fantastic" song I know came out first in the late 60's early 70's and then was remade by former Eurymthmic frontwoman, Annie Lenix. It's probably not the one you are looking for, but...
reading this questiong got it stuck in my head!!!
We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels cross the floor
I was feeling kind of seasick
The crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
But the waiter brought a tray
*And so it was later
As the miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
You said there is no reason
And the truth is plain to see
But I wander through my playing cards
And would not let it be
I'm one of the sixteen Vestal Virgins
Who are leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might just as well been closed
(*Repeat)
A whiter shade of pale
Turned a whiter shade of pale
A whiter shade of pale
