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??

All day and Night Jax Jones & Martin Solveig instrumental perhaps?

Is it the Paxo Rooster Booster advert? (Although that's from the early 80's).

LimaLemur · 25/04/2019 23:04

Not Feels either- sorry!

It really seems like it comes from an advert - either a car advert or an ad where people are together, maybe having food or dancing together. And the saxophone music starts playing and then it’s cut off when the ad finishes.

(I transcribed it above into sheet music).

LimaLemur · 25/04/2019 23:05

Best day of my life (American authors)? Only thing I can think of! Has been used in ads, not sure about recently

Charley50 · 25/04/2019 23:10

Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty? (I'm stuck in the 80's HELP!!!)

LimaLemur · 25/04/2019 23:10

Sorry, not Best day of my life!

Attaching a picture of the sheet music again here. If you could share this with your family/friends, that might help - it’s a really upbeat, jazzy saxophone solo and I’ve tried to transcribe as best as I can into sheet music on the attached photo.

midomi: It is one of the best services for identify songs with your own voice. It is quite accurate and simple to use, and with a single click you can start singing/humming to identify a song*

i googled how to find a song with just a beat and they suggested a number of websites, like the one above... Good luck

Dear Mrs Big Boss,

LimaLemur will not be attending work for the foreseeable future - unfortunately she has a severe case of earworm and so is unable to work. If you would like her back ASAP I also suggest that you watch tv until you find the cure.

Many thanks
A load of very fucking irritated mumsnetters Grin
