    Can this be a regular feature? Guess the song from the totally misleading clues.

close but no cigar...maybe more of a cleethorpes sound..

some great tunes..but not the one i'm looking for..so, recap..more of a fast funky shuffler, you had to have very quick feet to dance to this..distinctive intro..

..also , can't say ive heard it for a long time..i cant imagine its rare just forgotten...

dadah dadahah dadha dadha? the Wooden Tops 'You're F*cking Nicked Mate'

The Brothers "Are You Ready For This" instrumental :g:

 

Thats what I would have said. Very popular at Yate too.

This is one of the funniest threads I've seen in a long time. Is it 'dadah dadahah dadha dadha' or 'DEE, DEE, DEE, DEE, DEEDEE DEE DEE'?

could be either..depending on where you're from...

Four Below Zero---E S P

Don Downing---Dreamworld

 

Don Downing played at the Mecca ?

 

What a great record (well it was at the time, have to dig it out & see how it sounds today) Used to play it at some new release soul & funk night I used to do ........ ahhhh when I was young   :)

Dont know about the mecca mate before my time but it certainly got spins at Clifton Hall,Just thought the opening had a bit of DAH DAHS in it,but maybee it was WHOO WHOOS :g:

Dave Love - Baby Hard Times..... more of a dooh dooh do...... definitely played at the Mecca

Billy Woods - Let me make you happy? don't know where that was played

no..this was a thumpin' track..i just cant remember anything except the intro..a big tune for a short while...someone must know it...

  • Author

Third Time Around - Soon everything's gonna be alright

right era..wrong tune...

Only one I can think of that fits the dadah dadah description is World Column "So Is the Sun", but it doesn't fit the rest of the description so I doubt it's that.

 

Was a new release early 1976.

Randy Pie "Highway driver"

Ha ha lines crossed I think Patto, original poster mentioned the track was Mecca/Cleethorpes type sound so when you mentioned DD I assumed you meant it was played at those venues, I'll go back to sleep :thumbsup:

...wind up...and if it isn't it should be...

 

Well it had had the Brothers tune going round my bonce ever since I saw the thread.

 

Lah l, lah l,  lah dah.

Just thought of another, Toulouse "Lindernbergh 2" Can't find a sound clip though.

Are you sure you're not just after suggestions for your mates' set ?

the intro had a beat similar to morse code..not the actual sound but the speed..
