What is this '80s song?

I have almost nothing to go on, I''m afraid but it's driving me crazy.

I think it's an '80s song. It's very upbeat and sounds like it'd be used in a parade or dance scene at the end of an '80s movie.

I can't remember any lyrics, only ooh ooh ooh ooh ooo ooh, or something like that. It's sung in a slightly stacatto style and the male singer reminded me a little of Billy Joel.

I know it's probably a lost cause but it's driving me crazy.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

TIA

Something by Huey Lewis & the News perhaps?

I would bet a lot on it being Hall and Oates - You Make My Dreams!

Is there any significance of the fifth sound being "ooo" rather then "ooh"? Grin

MollieTD That's exactly it! Thank you so much. I'm impressed that you got it with my terrible description!

ClariceQuiff Thank you too. I'm looking for '80s songs for a friend's party so that's going on the playlist too.

Love Hall and Oates, so many classics.

Wow! Mollie that's legend!

Hope your friend has a great party!

I meant to quote Mollie as had a feeling she had instantly nailed it- SO impressed!

Blue4YOU · 03/02/2022 19:57

Incredible! I can’t believe you knew what it was @MollieTD

Lol. No. I'm just really bad at describing songs.

Thank you, Clarice.Fingers crossed that it will be. I might have to start another thread to get some more playlist suggestions.

I genuinely thought it was a very accurate description! Grin

Perhaps I'm not quite as terrible at describing songs as I thought! Thank you again.
