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??

Not a new song but a summer one... Get,get down, Paul Johnson

Oooh WutheringFrights, great idea!!!

So this is drum roll my shit attempt at trying to transcribe it into sheet music.

The squiggly symbol thing at the start is meant to be a treble clef Grin.

Then the notes are B, A, G, then E (I’m not sure how many times the Es should be repeated).

Then this first phrase should be repeated again.

Then the last bit is B then D. Then it goes back to the very first bit (B, A, G) then keeps on repeating.

I got one of those free piano keyboard apps where you can play the notes on a keyboard to try this out Grin

Please could someone try playing this out (imagine this being played on a saxophone) and then put me out of my misery??

Brilliant! I’m still none the wiser (and I’ve played it in the piano) but hopefully someone might recognise it 😂😂😂😂

Discos revenge by Gusto, it's a 90s club classic?

OhHellNoo · 25/04/2019 22:49

Haven’t RTFT so sorry if it’s already been mentioned but it looks like “thrills” by Calvin Harris/ Katy Perry / Pharrell to me- perhaps the instrumental version ?

Alabasterangel6 · 25/04/2019 22:51

I’m not clued up on the pace at all.

Someone upthread mentioned the Audi cars in the pool. That’s ‘follow you, follow me’ by faultline (cover of a genesis song). Is that it or is it faster paced than that?

Discobabe98 · 25/04/2019 22:53

Handclap Fitz and the Tantrums?

LimaLemur · 25/04/2019 22:53

Sorry Katkin - it’s not Disco’s revenge :(

I had a 90s dance song stuck in my head for like 10 years and could only remember the na na na chorus. I finally found it last year by downloading every Now album from the 90s era and listening through all the songs 😂 I honestly thought I would go to my grave never finding that song!

Moonflower12 · 25/04/2019 22:58

I need a hero- the new Aldi advert?

blackfriars · 25/04/2019 22:58

Sorry this is the one I meant!

A Punk by Vampire Weekend (sorry if already suggested).

edwardcullensotherwoman · 25/04/2019 22:59

Are you sure it's not Baggy Trousers? That's got the 3 descending notes then 4 or 5 the same, the the 3 descending notes again and the tune starts.

LemonLimerance · 25/04/2019 23:01

OhHellNoo means Feels not Thrills

LimaLemur · 25/04/2019 23:01
