I heard a song a little while ago but didn't catch the name/artist and can't remember the lyrics so it's a very, very long shot, I know but I really hope someone can help identify it as it was very distinctive!! Here's what I can remember:

It's a woman with a Scouse/Liverpool accent talking over a jazz beat/instrumental about all the things that she hates/doesn't like. The song is basically just her listing them.

Can't remember what she hated but think it included the Conservatives. I think the lyrics were quite political in nature and I remember thinking it was from the 80s perhaps - it didn't feel recent at all...

Anyone know the song and artist?!!! xx

Something by Self esteem @Songstressy ?

Yes I thought Self Esteem: maybe the song
" I do this all the time"

Worth a listen even if it isn't!

Sadly not Self-Esteem - this woman talking on the song I heard had a heavy Scouse accent. I got the feeling it's not recent. It was on one of those random Spotify playlists so might be a very niche band/song but I really, really hope I can find it.

I love Self Esteem and I Do This All the Time is fab btw! :)

@Parrotsandpussies I love Moody by Self-Esteem too, especially the video- I think she's going to be a mega star!

Is it the Imperfect List by Big Hard Excellent Fish?

notacooldad · 15/07/2023 13:53

It's not by OORYA is it ? She's scouse and hates the conservatives

Songstressy · 15/07/2023 13:54

omg @smartiestube yes it is!!! You are amazing!!! I've never heard anything like it before and it's been haunting me for ages. You've made my day, thank you so much :)

Just seen it's by The Mighty Wah - I'm always listening to the Story of the Blues. If you've got recommendations for similar bands/songs - do send them my way! :)

Thanks again!

Glad you found it - and love a thread that gives me things to go away and listen to!

smartiestube · 15/07/2023 16:02

@Songstressy glad it's the one! I only know it because Morrissey used to use it at his concerts before he came onto the stage. I don't know any other songs like this one, unfortunately!
