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??

Is it the song from the Coca-Cola Premier League advert? Just heard it as i was reading (and laughing at) this thread and thought it fit the description.

The strongbow advert - Electric Dreams?

GraceMarks · 25/04/2019 21:11

You just made me Google "songs with repetitive sax riff", but still nothing useful is coming up! Are you sure it's a "real" song and not just incidental music made especially for whatever ad it was from?

Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty is the most well-known song with a sax in that I can think of - wouldn't call it summery though.
