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??

LimaLemur · 25/04/2019 20:26

What about khalid talk? That's got quite a bit doo doo doo potential?

TheFatberg · 25/04/2019 20:36

There's a subreddit called r/tipofmytongue. You can record a clip of you singing it on Vocaroo and post it on there. They're usually really good.

Mapril · 25/04/2019 20:36

You need to find a way to get a clip of you singing it on here for us to identify.

Seriously, it's been done before Grin

Too many dooos and not enough dos for Baby Shark. Some of you obviously can't read music at all!

LimaLemur · 25/04/2019 20:37

It’s a bit played on maybe a saxophone (or a few saxophones together, maybe?), and it starts off with three long-ish notes: ‘doo doo doo’. The ‘doo doo doo’ bit is descending, going from high to low.

After these three notes, it goes ‘do do do do’ (all on the same note and shorter than the three earlier ‘doo’s. I’m not sure how many ‘do’s there are).

Then after the short ‘do do do’s, the melody goes back up again to the longer ‘doo’s.

Am I kind of making sense? 😂

Could it be My Type by Saint Motel? I think it's recently been used on an advert for Now TV

Binglebong · 25/04/2019 20:39

Sounds like it could he one of Caro Emerald's songs. Theres a few candidates there.

KeyboardCat · 25/04/2019 20:41

Is it Talk Dirty To Me by Jason Derula or however it's spelled?

LimaLemur · 25/04/2019 20:41

I’m trying to look for another way of recording and uploading a voice recording as I can’t get Vocaroo on my phone sadly :(

Aimily · 25/04/2019 20:41

Ooo actually rereading could it be old town road by lil nas x and Billy Ray Cyrus?

LimaLemur · 25/04/2019 20:42

Ahh LittlePotato I was so sure it was that - it’s so similar! - but I checked and it isn’t!

OP posts:
LimaLemur · 25/04/2019 20:43

Sorry Aimily it’s not Old town road :( and I can’t find it on any Caro Emerald songs.

Not a new song but has lots of do doo doos and fits the happy, summery vibe? Shannice I love your smile (🤢)

Tiredtessy · 25/04/2019 20:44

Is it the theme to Jet 2 holidays?!

BuzzPeakWankBobbly · 25/04/2019 20:44

It's not the blasted Tui advert is it?

LimaLemur · 25/04/2019 20:44

It’s not Talk dirty to me, sorry KeyboardCat!

OP posts:
LimaLemur · 25/04/2019 20:45
