This is has been added to work’s tape loop, and it’s been driving me crazy for two weekends now. So I sang it to the Better Half this morning–“What IS that guy singing?”–and now he’s infected, too. Gah! :mad:
Are there other lyrics? Because the first song that comes to me that has the oh-ee-oh refrain is Jungle Love, by the Time. It does have other intelligible lyrics though, and Morris Day is not a falsetto.
It’s not one that they used in one of the Austin Powers movies, is it? There’s a song without lyrics in one of them that ‘everybody knows’, but I don’t know what it is.
The song in The Spy Who Shagged Me that I could never remember the name to is Mas Que Nada. Never thought of the other one, but now I know when I hear it it’s Soul Bossa Nova.
Still no joy. Sorry to have stumped the panel. Really, it’s one of those Top 40 Sixties-Seventies-possibly Early 80s songs that’s everywhere (which is the most frustrating part–if you’re over 30, you grew up with this song.)
It’s extremely likely that he’s not really singing “oh-ee-oh”, that’s just what the dang thing sounds like.
