The song I'm looking for was performed by a brit-pop band. To be honest, I'm looking for the video clip for this song.

It circled on MTV around the same time (a bit after?) as Pumping On Your Stereo by Supergrass. I initially though it was by Supergrass because the band members looked similar, but i guess pale skin and greasy black hair does that. My search on Youtube for the clip came up empty, so did the titles in their discografie.
The title had "ghost" or something similar in it. I could be way off.

I don't remember any of the lyrics appart from the chorus that was: Ai ai ai ai aiaiai!
A google search for lyrics turned up empty too.
There was a scream of a woman mixed in as well, but the song itself was not very screamy.

The video was like scenes from an italian horror movie. It featured a street in a typical english working class neighborhood. People would enter a house and horrific things would happen. Blood pumping through the walls, ect. The band plays filmed through weird angle camera shots. I think there was a bath tub with blood in it.
But the most recognizeble part was that later on they used a black sceen with the words CENSOR or SCENE MISSING on it a lot.

The video really stuck to me, and I still think of it when films have scenes cut out to "protect" us. I want to know if it's still worth remembering.

Please help me because it's driving me bonkers.

The Ai ai ai / scream bit makes me thing Smack My Bitch Up, by The Prodigy.
The street makes me think Come To Daddy by Aphex Twin.
The Scene Missing part makes think of Closer by Nine Inch Nails.

EDIT:

More choices, via googling and remembering:
Numbskull by Ash (Scene missing, could be MTV cutting the sex).

No, I wouldn't mix up those band's with something like Supergrass. Though I must compliment your choise of music.

Some more hints: The video is in colour, it's a street row of houses attached to eachother, the cesured screen was done on purpose to a point that it became silly. Also there wasn't any yelling of lyrics in it, and the female scream happened only in the chorus.

Is there an online piano player that lets me record and save a song in some way so other people can listen to it?

Bye bye thankyou I love you.

Nope, it WAS Supergrass http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTygXj_8jbc&feature=related
Behold and tremble. (There are no censured screens in it, but I think I mixed up my memory with a cartoon episode, as that happend before)
Finding this video again sure restores a few sanity points. Maybe I even sleep normal again.

Edit: It seems that there is a censured version too, which has the scary bits replaced with... unions.

And there's me skipping all the Supergrass songs whilst I trawl thru youtube looking for answers..

That said, I don't recognise the video, it was around the time of Pumping on your Stereo that I stopped watching cable TV, though.
