Posting for traffic - sorry!

I’ve got a song in my head and I have no idea what it is.

The annoying thing is I don’t know any of the lyrics - I just have (what I think is) the main part of the tune, and have no idea how to identify it.

I think it’s a fairly recent song and maybe it’s been used on an advert, but I can’t think which one (maybe McDonalds or KFC?)

The best way I can describe the bit of the song in my head is that it’s played on some synths or something and sounds quite upbeat and summery, and the rhythm is something like: Doo doo doo do-do-do-do-do-do, doo doo doo do-do-do-do-do-do.

I thought it might be something by Macklemore maybe, but just checked on Spotify and none of their songs seem to be like this.

Could anyone help??

So, just to clarify....does it go do do do doooo do do or do do do dooooo doooooo do?

BasilFaulty · 25/04/2019 18:55

Can't help, but I will be so impressed and happy for you if someone can get it from this!!

If it’s a recent song it could be on the radio one playlist. Have a browse through their lists and if any stand out as a possible then look it up on YouTube

Or download Shazam and hope it comes back on tv soon!

Cerseilannisterinthesnow · 25/04/2019 18:55

Is it a recent song? In the charts?

Icanseethepigeon · 25/04/2019 18:56

Sing it into Shazam - love it, very curious now Grin

Ask alexa?

Lollyice · 25/04/2019 18:58

I think it's probably George Ezra, he seems to be everywhere at the moment.

Sing or hum 10 seconds to help find it

fashiondevotee · 25/04/2019 19:04

Look on Spotify's UK Top 50 charts playlist?

imnottoofussed · 25/04/2019 19:05

Is it Macklemore thrift shop?

Winterfellismyhome · 25/04/2019 19:06

Uptown funk?

imnottoofussed · 25/04/2019 19:07

Of Macklemore can't hold us

imnottoofussed · 25/04/2019 19:07

Or not of

LimaLemur · 25/04/2019 19:08

Awww thanks for your help, guys!

Hahaaa Pombear and others about Baby Shark - I'd never actually heard it before and relieved to find out, after checking, that... it isn’t it!

Which brings us no closer to what the song is :( I really wish I could be more specific on the doo doo’s 😂😂

Will have a look at Midomi and report back! Currently in the middle of a a busy shopping street so may get some funny looks if I start humming into my phone 😂
