To ask you to help me work out what this song sounds like

The intro of this song is really familiar. DH says it's not, other than having a bit of an 80s vibe. I'm sure it's a sample or a copy of another song. Google is not helping. Can one of you?

It reminds me of the chorus of Eric Prydz Call On Me.

Georgiesgirl · 13/03/2018 16:21

Reminds me of Bette Davis Eyes

Yellowbird54321 · 13/03/2018 16:21

I thought it was "She,s got Bette Davies Eyes" when I started listening to it (I think that was what is was called anyway)

Yellowbird54321 · 13/03/2018 16:22

Ooops - Davis even!

Faze84 · 13/03/2018 16:23

Sounds a bit like Kim Carnes, Bette Davis Eyes

CuriousaboutSamphire · 13/03/2018 16:23

The music is definitely Kim Calnes - Betty Davis Eyes

Aaaah it definitely sounds like that Kim Carnes song but that's not the song I'm thinking off.

I think it's the male sounding woahs at the beginning that sound like they're from something

Yep - Bette Davis Eyes rip off.

Cross post.

The woah woah bits sounds a bit like Poker Face by Lady Gaga to me. Grin

I have a picture in my head of a rock band in the 80s. Can't get it, but you're right, it's not Bette Davis Eyes. I'll have a think.

Sorry bit useless. My DH might know. He's good at this sort of thing.

CuriousaboutSamphire · 13/03/2018 16:30

Oh yes... I am humming it, when I get some words I'll let you know!

It's one of those big "I wanna know what love is" type songs, I think

PelvicFloorClenchReminder · 13/03/2018 16:31

Is it Turn Back The Clock by Johnny Hates Jazz?

CuriousaboutSamphire · 13/03/2018 16:31

It's both I think... Betty Davis into .... argh, it's not coming...

DannyLaRuesBestFrock · 13/03/2018 16:32

Deffo Bette Davis Eyes

Faez · 13/03/2018 16:35

I know what song you mean but I can't think of it either!

Yes Elen some kind of rock/pop band I think and yes Curious I think it is a big song like that of some kind.

I'm almost able to hum it further than the intro

Not read thread but opening bars...very like Bette Davis eyes by Kim Carnes

ElenOfTheWays · 13/03/2018 16:38

We're good then? Lol

It's one of those big "I wanna know what love is" type songs, I think

Yes me too. It's driving me mad now Grin

Bruce Hornsby and the Range - That's just the way it is

Way past the piano bit... I think!

TERFragetteCity · 13/03/2018 16:40

It is a Bette David Eyes rip off, but the intro gives me a bit of this...

ShmooBooMoo · 13/03/2018 16:41

How many seconds in do you mean? It's a stretch but These Dreams by Heart? Or Lavender by Marillion, a lot slower though.

PortiaCastis · 13/03/2018 16:44

Bette Davis eyes Kim Carnes
