Help me identify this song!

It sounds sixties, there's a picture cover of a lady, possible asian, there may be something duplicitous about its emergence - anyway it's a catchy little song and the female vocalist descends into nonsense like 'a-gilly, n-gilly,gilly gilly, agilly, na gilly'

That's all I've got.

Puce Moment

Could be April March

Could be 5,6,7,8s

Unless it's genuinely 60s

Anyone identify this?
60s, Dylanesque, harmonica-driven? https://voca.ro/1obPqGA5h9i4

Damnit, my microphone isn't working.

Someone on r/mandelaeffect has mentioned this song, The Weeknd - Blinding Lights which was released at the start of this year, but which contains a very familiar keyboard bit, and I agree with them, it seems familiar to me too.   Listen at 0:40-0:49 and 1:47-1:57.  I'm sure I've heard it in adverts/background music/jingles type stuff going back years*, but just that keyboard part, not any of the rest of the song.  Does anyone recognise what they've sampled/ripped it off from.  It's something from around the 90's/early 2000's maybe?

And it's not from Take On Me or Young Turks.  I can see why people suggest those but the keyboard bit I'm remembering is identical, not just vaguely similar, plus I don't listen to Radio 1 or anywhere that would've aired this song.

*Perhaps in one of those dance music compilation albums advertised on tv.


EDIT: Or has it featured in a lot of commercials this year, because I try to ignore commercials but it that little keyboard bit had featured in a lot of commercials really rammed down our throats ad nauseam I can see how it'd manage to worm it's way into my brain without me even noticing.

Avicii - Wake Me Up?

Not worth a new thread for this.

Heard on the TV the other day, some barely remembered song from the 80s with a little recurring instrumental motif which has lodged itself in my brain and won't go.

Anyone recognise this?

I can remember a bit of the vocal melody of the bridge if that helps, but this is the full on, claws-in earworm.

That'll be Ryan Paris - Dolce Vita

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weMrzt6W8V8

Thank you!  It really is!  I can honestly say that I would never have got that.

No follow-up album from Ryan Paris still, huh.  (joke - I can see on Wikipedia there are blinkin' seven of them)

Not so much "name this song" as "track down the library music".

There's a lovely fingerstyle guitar piece in the background of this video (the making of that long one-shot in series 2 of Better Call Saul):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXDxd884tmc

The reason I assume it's one of these library / royalty-free bits of music is because it crops up in other songs, e.g.
Romain & Noah - Take the First Road - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgqLlE-wOJE
Billy Blue Maguire - The Moon is Full - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlqG0gOO4F8 (warning: really shit vocals)

Here's the challenge: can anyone track down the original source of this tune?  I've had no luck.

Magnum Valentino

It's called Eagle Rock, by Wes Hutchinson. He's credited as 'instrumental by' on the EP listing on Romain and Noah's Instagram page.

This can't be the source, surely? But it's an instrumental if you wanted a clean version.

Yes, it's part of Youtube's royalty-free music library (and many other similar libraries). There's a Japanese railway history channel I follow on Youtube who uses it on most of his videos.

Great sleuthing, thanks!  I went to their Instagram page, but didn't spot that detail.  I wonder if creating derivative work is allowed by the original license, and whether Jackson Browne Wes Hutchinson minds that he has people singing badly all over his original recording (and presumably profiting from it).

I don't know what I expected when I clicked on that, but safe to say it probably wasn't what I got! I think when he started in with the rave whistle at about 1 minute I was sold.

I love the video too, it's like he's sitting there enjoying your reaction to his "song".

The sidebar reveals he has a one hour instrumental called "Condemn I Love You", dare I click this?

Edit - disappointingly it's just some pre-made (probably royalty-free) loops repeating for an hour. Looks like most of his other tracks are just the same.

Oh god, what is the name of this tune...
or something like it, used to always be used as stock music for boring suburban lives, in the Bounty ads, etc...
https://youtu.be/3TTWcX9Fgtg?t=24

Sorry George, no idea so may I be the next to utilise this thread?

A record that was played to death on 6 Music about a year ago, I quite liked it at the time but for some reason it's jumped into my head a few days ago and I can't get rid of it.  Pounding drums, female vocals (I get the feeling it was an all-women band, I thought it might be Goat Girl but I've clicked through everything of theirs on their Bandcamp and it's not them) - and this is the earworm...an instrumental chorus played on a flute.

Anyone?


Something about a girl led band being played on 6 Music all the time a year ago made me think of The Orielles but I don't know what song it would have been.

No it's a lot more primal-sounding than The Orielles (heavy drums and lots of splashing cymbals), thanks though.

RickOtter

Might it be The Big Moon? Fits the all-female, primal sound and vaguely flutey wordless chorus??

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pvr59_crsNg

Not The Big Moon, although the name rang a bell so I clicked through some of their other tracks.  It's a much heavier sound than them or The Orielles.

jobotic

Porrige Radio?

I don't know their songs well enough to know about choruses though.

Not Porridge Radio - the vocals are a bit shouter than any suggestions so far.  Thanks all and keep them coming, I know we'll get there.


Sorry, neither of them either.

I'll give it another shot because it's really bugging me now and I can't get it out of my head:

Played a hell of a lot on 6Music about a year ago (must have been A-listed).
Starts off with pounding drums with a similar rhythm/tempo to XTC's 'Making Plans For Nigel' but with cymbals.
Strident female vocal - I don't know the lyrics but the first line's melody is similar to "Please don't put your life in the hand" from 'Don't Look Back In Anger'.
Very haunting instrumental chorus played on a flute that I'll try and transcribe...here goes...
Dooooo....doo doo doo dooooo....doooo do do dooooo....doooo do do dooooo (x2)

Help!  Anyone?
