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??

BUT IS IT DEPECHE MODE THOUGH!!!

I once had a song stuck in my head and could only remember the bit that went "oo wee oo wee oo wee oo wee oo wee oo oo oo". I Googled that in frustration and lo and behold the answer appeared: Tarzan Boy by Baltimora.

Unfortunately no doo doo in that at all so not your answer, but you never know - Google could be your friend too!

ChicCroissant · 25/04/2019 20:04

I'd say the same as Gingernaut, it's on the Haven ad at the moment I think.

Second the ‘no drama - craig david’ suggestion.. very catchy and recent

DrFoxtrot · 25/04/2019 20:12

Is there any singing, man or woman?

I was thinking Giant by Calvin Harris.

Omg tmh88 This Girl is sooo close! It’s not it though :( sorry!!

The one I’m thinking of is something that sounds quite fast-paced and jazzy, and it sounds like it’s being played on a saxophone? (Ignore what I said in my OP about it being played on synths!)

The rhythm is something like dooo - dooo - dooo do-do-do-do dooo -dooo - dooo.

I still think it comes from an advert - I feel like it’s an advert for food or drink, and I seem to remember people dancing in the ad. Sorry I’m so crap at explaining what I can remember of the song!!

Tried singing it into SoundHound (several times) and it still hasn’t recognised it 😭 Either I’m a rubbish singer or I’ve just imagined the song 😭

Back in the day there was a website called Song Tapper and you could tap the song using the space bar on your keyboard and the site would then find you the song. Worked for me every time! I'm not sure if it's still around but maybe there's something similar out there?
