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??

Thanks Tiptop and Hanuman!

I’m currently looking for an agent as I contemplate a career of restrained croaky covers of catchy pop choruses. Watch this space Wink

Fabulous, I'm so glad it's been found!
I asked my DH if he could hum the tune from your sheet music and that was the tune he came up with! I didn't know the song though, like you it's familiar from tv or something.

PuppyMonkey · 26/04/2019 12:18

Is it 'Giant' by Rag n Bone Man? It's on a few different adverts at the moment.

owlettafeather · 26/04/2019 18:31

Oh!! I didn't see the other 13 pages of messages before posting mine! Blush

bubblegumunicorn · 26/04/2019 18:52

I’m shocked no one suggested Black Pink dududu 😂 glad you found out what it was!

ShowMeTheKittens · 26/04/2019 19:53

Is it by Deicide?

camperlass · 26/04/2019 19:55

My son says this is Baby Shark :-D

Devilinatwinset · 26/04/2019 20:24

Really hope you don't mind OP but I'm going to piggyback your post - I've had a song stuck in my head for weeks & I cannot find it. The only lyric I can remember is a chorusy type bit that goes 'and we do-o-o-o-ooh, and we do-o-o-o-ooh' etc. Female vocalist & I used (this year) to hear it on the Marc Riley show so looked up artists like julia holter, sharon van Etton but none of them sound like the voice in my head! Quite a high clear sweet vocal. Any thoughts anyone?

Reisscon · 26/04/2019 20:53

I'm actually sat here in my living room trying to sing it to myself Grin
