Song title?

[hatchek]

I've had this song stuck in my head for so long its not funny, but what really kills me, is I can't identify it. Its so familiar, I want to think Doobies or Crosby Stills, but I just can't place it.

This is a short recording of the song stuck in my head, can anyone offer any help?

Jesus is Just Alright, Doobie Brothers.

[hatchek]

No, thats close, but its not quite right. I don't think it *is* the Doobies, but seems to be from the same era. Perhaps a 1 hit wonder or something.

After searching for consecutive do do do's as lyrics to this song, I can deduce,these are what its not:
Crosby Stills Nash and Young - Love the One You're With
Frankie Vallie - Oh What A Night
Axel Foley Theme
Duran Duran - Hungry Like the Wolf
Third Eye Blind - Semi-Charmed Life

[Mr. C.]

Darn, my next thought was CSN, but you eliminated the song.

Any chance this is "I Come Tumblin" by Grand Funk Railroad?

I don't know much about the band but I know the tune and was thinking it was a classic rock song and that the tune was more "da" than "do". I searched and found the lyrics which seem to match up.

I come tumblin' down, from the darkness I, stretch my arms out to, catch the sound, yeah.
I hear grumblin' and, broken heartness is, slowly spreading and, going 'round.

Half the people are, never knowing and, never caring and never showing, their ...
... love for sisters, as well as brothers. Let's, teach our children to, love each other.

Slowly coming the, thought of losing the world is ever so near.
Let's start showing and, let's start growing with love there's nothing to fear.

Da, da, da-da, da; Da, da, da-da, da; Da, da, da-da, da; Da, da, da-da, da;
Da, da, da-da, da; Da, da, da-da, da; Da, da, da-da, da; Da, da, da-da, da;

Oh ... Yeah.
Oh ... Yeah.
Oh ... Yeah.
Oh ... Yeah.

Da, da, da-da, da; Da, da, da-da, da; Da, da, da-da, da; Da, da, da-da, da;
Da, da, da-da, da; Da, da, da-da, da; Da, da, da-da, da; Da, da, da-da, da;

Oh ... Yeah.
Oh ... Yeah.
Oh ... Yeah.
Oh ... Yeah.

Yeah ...

"Suite Judy Blue Eyes" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzF_MoXOU1E&mode=related&search=) by CSNY

It's Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young but I can't recall the song offhand...
...and while I was looking for it fenian beat me to it.

Interesting (maybe) little bit of trivia, Joni Mitchell was supposed to get a ride with them to Woodstock but for whatever reason they left without her. There's some really great footage of her on youtube from BBC. I was born too late... I love this music.

@Fenian: Thats it! Holy crap! Awesome :D Thank you SO much.

@Scarlett: I know, this old stuff is just great. But Bob Seger said it the best, "Today's music ain't got no soul, I like that old time rock and roll!"

Great, now I've got the clip of the YOU humming the song stuck in MY head. Anyone got a link to an .mp3 of the real song so I can end this?

[edit] so you decided it was 'Judy Blue Eyes?' Sorry, I wasn't reading carefully.

[Mr. C.]

[Mr. C.]

Good, we're on the same page. Since you know all about those legitimate sites, you'll have no trouble finding such a popular song.

[kolinab]

In any case, I've had this song stuck in my head all day. There are worse songs to have stuck in one's head, I suppose! Thanks for the 'name that tune,' hatchek.

Good times, all.

[hatchek]

Well, don't expect to hear it on a preview, since the part in question is the EXACT end of the song. :p

Rock on!

[Mr. C.]

kolinab,

My apologies for my invalid assumptions about your intentions. I publicly apologize, and retract what I said, and will edit to remove those uncalled for remarks.

Please accept my humblest apologies.

Sincerely,
MrC

[kolinab]

Apology accepted - I kind of got in a huff which I shouldn't have done. I know you're a helpful productive member of these forums (I know I try to be). I kinda barked at you and didn't mean to be a jerk.

Hope you had a good day, and have a good night.

I'll edit my post as well . . .

See you out there in the forums!

Regards,

K
