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??

I think your mind has made it up. Record it and sell it, it's sure to be a hit. Grin

Watching just for the laughs...

It's Madness - Baggy Trousers!

I've heard it recently on an advert but cant think what. This^^ is the original video!

Hippychickster · 25/04/2019 21:43

From the 3 doo doo doos going in descending order and then the do do dos on one note, could it be Baggy Trousers by Madness?

WonderTweek · 25/04/2019 21:43

Nottheduchess, aaaahhh the Game! I'd not thought about it for about a year. Hmm

Angie169 · 25/04/2019 21:43

Hippychickster · 25/04/2019 21:44

Haha Edwardcullen!

missmartini · 25/04/2019 21:44

Haha @LimaLemur I have no advice and can't even begin to help but I'm totally in the same situation. There's a song I really liked and meant to download...forgot about it...no idea the name, no idea the lyrics but humming something of the bit of the tune I know! I've been googling top 40 from 2019....hits from March, February and still nothing so I totally sympathise! 😂😂😂

GlitterPixie · 25/04/2019 21:45

I need a resolution to this thread!!

SnowyAlpsandPeaks · 25/04/2019 21:45

If you type in advert songs 2019 into Spotify it will bring up all adverts. You can also do it for 2018 and so on.

MidnightLoo · 25/04/2019 21:46

Has this one been suggested? John Newman, Love me again.

PuppyMonkey · 25/04/2019 21:46

Oh no, I thought you’d say it was the Jungle Boogie one by Kool and the Gang. It’s got sax (I think).

My first thought was that Jess Glynn thingy Marks and Spencer’s one - do do do-do do do, do do do do-do etc.... No place I’d rather be.

SnowyAlpsandPeaks · 25/04/2019 21:47

I’ve spent two days thinking of a song. Exdp knows all songs, so I’m like ‘it’s about someone watching someone, maybe in a bar or across the dance floor’ he drew a blank. I got it this morning ‘Dancing on my own’ ..... no mention in the of my clue lol

1MillionSelfiesTakenByMyKids · 25/04/2019 21:48

Just for my own peace of mind can you also rule out the Marina song I suggested on page one? "True"

Destination Calabria - Alex Gaudini, that’s for saxophones in it

Hippychickster · 25/04/2019 21:49

It's definitely Madness Baggy Trousers!!

Long shot but...

Thank you Next- Ariana Grande

PomBearWithAnOFRS · 25/04/2019 21:52

DD suggests Bad Guy by Billy Eilish. It's on the Emmerdale ad apparently.

PuppyMonkey · 25/04/2019 21:53

I don’t get any do do do vibes from Baggy Trousers? Confused

GraceMarks · 25/04/2019 21:53

I'm now fully expecting that OP will come back in about a month, having heard the song again somewhere, and it won't have a sax on it at all, or a synth, and it will be rather downbeat and mournful, and it will have been on a film trailer not an advert, and it will be more daa daa daa than doo doo doo. Joy Division or something acoustic by Nick Drake.

YoloTF · 25/04/2019 21:57

That citroen advert, long way home. The do do do do do do dooo goes right. Its forever stuck in my head Angry
