Identify A Song Please

Posted

I've got this tune in my head. I think it is an O'Jays song but I've only got the chorus melody.

It was back in the day maybe around the time of "Looky Looky" and "I dig your act"

Chorus was a bit quick and repeated a couple of times

Its drivng me crazy

Maybe a long shot and sorry to post such trivia but.............can anyone help?

PS, If its not by the O'Jays (as I believe it is) I realise I'm screwed.

Cheers

Middy

Cheers

As stated in the previous post some lyrics might help, O'jays have had loads of records from the 60,s big on the northern scene so without some lyrics you are on a loser .

Thats the problem, I cannot remember the lyrics.

No worries, like you say I'm probably on to a loser.

Maybe in a moment of extreme lucidity the words'll pop into my head.

I really appreciate all of the replies but it isn't anyone of them.

I think I'll "withdraw" my post and quietly slink away now as I'm beginnnig to make a tit out of myself and its getting embarrassing.

Again thanks, if it comes to me I'll post it up (exciting eh?)

Chorus - "duh duh duh duh dut der, der... dud a dud a dut der"

As I said, embarrassing !

Ignore me and I promise not to post ever again.

Sleep well my friends, sleep well.

In my extended midlife crisis I'm trying to get some of the records I had in my youth.

Bit hard to find (or expensive) this one.

Glad you got your answer Middy

Julie x

is that the same as Third Time Around??

No it's the same as M Reeves ph34r.gif

Try the album of the same name,it has (l seem to remember)cartoon characters of the band on the front....Sure there are lots of copies about....Everybody seem to have it in our school when l was about 14 in 1972 :lol:

Good Luck!! :thumbsup:

Yeah, you're right Webby, everyone seemed to have the Ship Ahoy album at one time as it got rave revues in Blues & Soul etc.

Easy enough to get and often don't sell for as low as a couple of quid. Including postage a fiver tops.

As I said before a really good album.
