La La La, Do Do Do, Ba Ba Ba, Om Pom Plop

[DrGreggles]

Yes, I'm bugging you all for ideas for my pop quiz again.

I'm looking for UK top 20 hits which contain at least 10 seconds of la la la/do do do/equivilant gibberish.
Ideally a mixtures of years and genres - otherwise it'd end up being 19 Eurovision songs and 1 by The Police.

[Better Midlands]

Crystal Waters - Gypsy Woman
Crash Test Dummies - Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
America - Horse With No Name

[Dewt]

Ten consecutive seconds? If not then Radio Ga Ga and Sussudio leap to mind.

[Dewt]

Oh and The Scatman qualifies regardless.

[Prison Biscuits]

Brown-Eyed Girl

[Captain Crunch]

Adam & The Ants - Stand And Deliver

[Captain Crunch]

Mmmbop?

[Inspector Norse]

Simon and His Garfunkel - The Boxer
Super Furry Animals - If You Don't Want Me to Destroy You
Gala - Freed from Desire
Blur - For Tomorrow

[Bently Sheds]

Under Pressure.

[DrGreggles]

Crystal Waters - Gypsy Woman
Crash Test Dummies - Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
America - Horse With No Name

Perfect

Oh and The Scatman qualifies regardless.

Absolutely

Mmmbop?

I'll check, could be ideal

Adam & The Ants - Stand And Deliver

Can't think which part, but I'll have a listen

[Prison Biscuits]

Crazy Frog

[Inspector Norse]

Letter to Hermione also springs to mind but wasn't a hit.

But you could have Absolute Beginners.

[Clatty McCutcheon]

Suede - Beautiful Ones

(The outro just goes 'la la la-la, la la la' for a considerable time)

[Inspector Norse]

Autumn Almanac finishes with a few bars of "ba ba ba"

[DrGreggles]

Simon and His Garfunkel - The Boxer
Super Furry Animals - If You Don't Want Me to Destroy You
Gala - Freed from Desire
Blur - For Tomorrow

Excellent. Already got Charmless Man for Blur (repeat offenders)

Under Pressure.

I can mix that seamlessly into Scatnan John!

[holyzombiejesus]

Steaming Train by Talulah Gosh

[Clatty McCutcheon]

Hey Jude (bit obvious, though).

[Captain Crunch]

Was Not Was - Walk The Dinosaur

[DrGreggles]

Scatnan John!

Scatman John's nan, I presume...

[Inspector Norse]

For some reason I also thought of I Ain't New Ta This by Ice T:

https://youtu.be/gzDthgp4V_g?t=118

[Inspector Norse]

Scatman John's nan, I presume...

Callin' out for Scatman

His tea's ready

[Clatty McCutcheon]

DNA (feat. Suzanne Vega) - Tom's Diner

[Captain Crunch]

Doop - Doop (fuck, if anything should be left in the past...)

[Dewt]

Eurythmics - There Must Be An Angel

[DrGreggles]

DNA (feat. Suzanne Vega) - Tom's Diner

YES!

Eurythmics - There Must Be An Angel

YES!

[Captain Crunch]

Bit brief but the start of Good Feeling by Reef.

[Dewt]

Bananarama - Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye)

Marginal one, that.

[Dewt]

Jackie Wilson Said (I'm in Heaven When You Smile)

[DrGreggles]

Bananarama - Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye)

Marginal one, that.

I think they use actual words yoo quickly between the Na Na Nas, otherwise it would be doubly perfect as Bananarama appearing in every quiz has become a bit of a running joke.

[DrGreggles]

Jackie Wilson Said (I'm in Heaven When You Smile)

Great, but unfortunately used in the cover versions round last time.
