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??

@PuppyMonkey it's the sax at the very start, before the diddly do bit starts (if that makes sense??)Confused

4od has an ad at the moment with a few lines from an old song which I eventually worked out was Bad Moon Rising.
Drove me mad for two days though and like you was singing du du du du du du du, over and over.

A friend of mine had a song stuck in her head for about 3 years until we cracked it. Most satisfying thing ever.

In all seriousness though, how do I find this song?!!

Am I just doomed to a life of hearing it in my head and not knowing what it is or how to explain what I can hear to other people?

Have pity, Mumsnetters!

Sounds like Panic At The Disco-High Hopes? It was on the Small Fortune ad on ITV not long back.

Have a seatch on Spotify for the "TV advert songs 2018 & 2019" playlist

There‘s no sax but “Looking out my back door” by Creedence Clearwater Revival?

WutheringFrights · 25/04/2019 22:14

Can you try to write the musical notes like on sheet music? You could then upload a pic of it?

AG1x · 25/04/2019 22:15

Try lethal bizzle ‘I win’ appears to have that tune and was on a kfc advert recently! 🤷🏼‍♀️

lmlm123 · 25/04/2019 22:16

I haven't read the full thread so this might have been suggested. Is it Meduza, Piece of your Heart?
