Music I CAN'T FIGURE OUT THE NAME OF THIS SONG AND IT'S DRIVING ME NUTS - Page 2

Thig Lyfe · 01:43 PM

And the worst part is, I can't remember the lyrics, so I can't just search it.

I can hear the voice and the song itself crystal clear, though, and it's driving me crazy that I can't figure out what it is, who it's by, or where I've heard it before.

This has been going on for two days.

So I figured that the combined knowledge of the fine folks here at ChiefsPlanet might help me narrow it down and find it.

Here's what I know:
It's not R&B, rap, country, funk, electronica, salsa, jazz, blues or gospel.

The lead singer is male.

There are backup singers (also male) that figure prominently, and they echo the lead singer a lot. Kinda like this:

Lead: Something something something la la la
Backup: Laaa laaa laaaaaaa
Lead: Something something something doo doo da
Backup: Dooo Dooo Daaaaaaaaa

It's an upbeat song

I'm pretty sure it's about love and I'm pretty sure it's sung "to" somebody. The singer refers to "you".

There's an organ part. Or at least I think it's an organ. It's what gives this jaunty song its unique twist that helps it stay stuck in my head. It's not like a churchy organ, and there are no chords. Just a fairly simple note progression, each note is held for a bit, and the sequence gets repeated.

For some reason it reminds me of the opening credits theme from Shaun of the Dead:

(Also here, can't embed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZmjsWAfn14)

I think this is for two reasons: the tempo and beat is very similar to what runs under the song, both for the organ parts and the singing, and the organ in the Shaun of the Dead song sounds like the organ in the song stuck in my head (albeit with shorter notes).

---

I know I might seem totally nutso, but I'm desperate to track down this song. Please ask any questions that might help and shoot me any suggestion that even remotely fits my criteria. Some coveted rep is awaiting for whoever can help me find this thing.

I will be eternally grateful.

UPDATE:

HOLY SHIT

Nuthooks for forgetting the Beatles if this IS it.

Nuthooks for this NOT being stuck in your head, if this isn't it.

Either way, it doesn't bode well for you.

I believe that the song in question is "Freebird".

One thing I do know?

It's not this:

Or this:

**Bearcat** · 08-05-2008, 10:01 AM

"Is it a good movie?"

"It has it's moments..."

"Cool Runnings."

**Rain Man** · 08-05-2008, 10:04 AM

Is it Boston's "More than a Feeling?"

That's how it goes, right?

is the name of the song pipeline?

Stewie · 08-05-2008, 11:47 AM

I think you missed the most important part of the song in your explanation. The 5-minute triangle solo.

Pretty sure this is it. It really captures your true feelings on the subject of love. It is truly moving.
