I was in a pub this evening and a song came on that caught my attention. I want to listen to it again, and I didn’t have my phone with me so I couldn’t Shazam it ! Now I’m back home I’m trying to google the lyrics, but I’m not finding anything that is remotely like it ☹️ Thought I’d see if any of you knew it.

As far as I could hear, the lyrics went: “A man like you -ooh-ooh, (x3) lucky you, oh lucky you” that’s all I’ve got! Not helpful I know. The song was sung by a woman, and sounded quite folky?
Thanks in advance if you come up with any suggestions.

It’s not that one unfortunately! But thank you for the suggestion. I’m pretty sure it was just the one singer (a woman), but the song was pretty repetitive and that is all I can remember. It was so noisy, I couldn’t hear any other lyrics really, apart from the chorus ! It’s really annoying me now, I can hum the tune but Shazam cannot identify my tuneless droning 😅 it had a guitar intro, and it was quite a ‘soft’ calming song but had an upbeat tune

The Lightning Seeds song Lucky You would fit the descriptions but it's not women singing... hmm. Fingers crossed someone comes up with the goods!

It's not Woman Like Me is it?

When I search it, the Lightning Seeds , Eminem and Verve all come up as suggestions, but it’s not them! I’ll have a quick listen to the Taylor swift one, thanks for your suggestions :)

That's what I thought. Was it definitely a female singer? Ian Broudie has quite a high voice which could maybe be ambiguous. He's not Lee Marvin or Barry White!

Ah, OK, then - x-posted with you, OP!

Unfortunately not the Taylor Swift one either! I’ll keep searching as well, hopefully I’ll have a breakthrough.

May I piggyback on the thread?! What’s the song out at the moment that samples Summertime?! Grin

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 27/09/2019 22:18

Couldn't be this one, could it?

No its not that song either, but thank you for the suggestion. Since falling asleep, I can’t even remember the tune now so I think there is little hope in finding the song !

@Maskin is it Doin’ Time, Lana Del Ray.

Amy Grant, Lucky One is folksy sounding but the lyrics are Lucky Me rather than Lucky You

ScreamingValenta · 28/09/2019 08:06

Could you ask at the pub what they were playing last night - it would help you narrow it down.

JeSuisPrest · 28/09/2019 08:08

The Lucky One - Alison Krauss and Union Station. Has a guitar intro, blue grass style, soft but upbeat.

It’s not those ones either, thank you again for helping me try to find it! I think I might email like you suggested Valenta.
