I've got a song going round my head - how can I find out what it is

[policywonk]

... from the melody/hook alone? Didn't catch the lyrics. Are there any websites for this?

Ta.

Sony Ericsson have this feature on their phones if you know someone that has one. You can record a snatch of a tune and they text back the title.

Thanks Chutzpah - don't have a Sony Ericsson but will ask around!

Have tried Songtapper but they're trying to tell me that the song I'm after is 'With Or Without You', and it so ain't.

hum it for us..

Weeeeelll, it's Motown-y, it's a bassline (possibly multi-tracked), and it goes like this:

do
do-do-do
do-do-do
do do do der-der do der-der

do
do-do-do
do-do-do
do do do der-der do der-der

It goes down the scale for the first three 'lines' of my notation, and then up again in the last line.

I thank you.

Up tempo, quite danceable. Not a slushy ballad. Singer sounds like Smokey Robinson (falsetto-ish).

Oh it's the 4 Tops I Can't Help Myself.

You're welcome.

Is it? If it is you're a genius and I love you.

I've actually got a Four Tops best of somewhere... I shall go and rummage.

what the sugarpie honeybunch?

Maybe I should have put a disclaimer....

Lots of 4 Tops on at the moment as Levi Stubbs their singer died at the weekend.

harly you say the sweetist things...

'arf
i'll be lmao if you're right tho

here try tapping hte rhythmn into Songtapper

Ah no. Not that one. I was all excited for a moment.

Damn.

Thanks, have tried Songtapper but it's not giving me anything useful.

I seem to lost the ability to spell on this thread.

I do like 'I'm in a Different World' though. Levi Stubbs RIP.

don't suppose you remember any of the lyrics policywonk? Even a few random words?

wow, songtapper actually works!
hours of endless fun....

oh, why don't I read the op properly...

not even one word?

pretty please?

No, sorry. I wish I did. It was playing while I was in the Gap and I got distracted by a nice cardigan.

Damn you for showing me that site... Hours of my life will be gone!!

Loving songtapper!!

Sorry...
