Got song stuck in my head and no idea what it is - please help :)

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??

It’s not the new Apple privacy ad is it?

I havent RTWT but could it be the brass bit in Tide Is High by Blondie?

HoppityEaster · 26/04/2019 00:12

Is it the new BMW advert - Nevermind by Dennis Lloyd?

LadyofMisrule · 26/04/2019 00:17

Light it up (featuring Nyla)
It's on my running playlist.

I was just about to post saying light it up after your voice clip!
Wooooo!

Carnivorenomore · 26/04/2019 00:27

Also a Very ad from a couple of years ago

TVname · 26/04/2019 00:27

Well done! It's on a pepsi ad with Messi, can't post a link.

LadyofMisrule · 26/04/2019 00:27

There was a voice clip?

misper · 26/04/2019 00:29

Next time tell us it's a moonbahton style song! Might rule out Depeche Mode... Grin

Carnivorenomore · 26/04/2019 00:29

LIGHT IT UP - MAJOR LAZER

SuchAToDo · 26/04/2019 00:33

Have you only heard it on the advert or in the charts too...

Go to YouTube and type in 2019 uk mcdonalds advert (for example)...and work your way through the adverts and see if that's it...once you find it, it's easy to get the song name, just get a few song lyrics and Google them and it will usually come up with the name of song and singer

If you think the song was in the charts, then in YouTube type 2019 uk chart songs (or usa chart songs if it's American)...

Hope this helps you track down your song)
