I am amazed sometimes at the board members that can identify various works of art from even the slightest of clues. Here’s another chance to wow me.
Where I work, they have a PA system that they use to play music around the building. It is played softly enough that I can rarely hear any of the words. So this one won’t have any words as clues.
The singer is a soprano. The chorus is the most identifiable portion of the song. It starts with a phrase that I hear as “Doobee Doobee Doo Bee” (what I HEAR, not what she sings), where the “Doobee” part is eigth notes, while “Doo” and “Bee” are quarter notes, with all notes the same (I think) except the “Doo” is pitched slightly higher. Following that are two responses that descend in pitch, and I think she is singing “Shoo-oo-oo-oo-ooh”, twice. Somewhat later in the chorus, I hear the first part repeated, except this time the “Doo” is significantly higher than the first time through. I am not sure if the “Shoo” part that follows is the same as the first time.
Probably a recent song, since I also hear “Don’t Believe Me, Just Watch”, and that insipid “Clap along” song.
Your description “Doobee Doobee Doo Bee” (what I HEAR, not what she sings), where the “Doobee” part is eigth notes, while “Doo” and “Bee” are quarter notes, with all notes the same (I think) except the “Doo” is pitched slightly higher makes me think of Royals by Lorde
You could help us by indicating tempo, instrumentation, etc.
The only part of the song that I recognize is the chorus, which I have already described; I don’t recognize the song until I hear the “Oo-we oo-we ooo wee” part.
The singer is a soprano, high-pitched voice. If the “dooby dooby doo bee” makes you think of “Royals” by Lorde, try “One and Two and Three Four”, in one 4/4 measure at about 120 bpm. The “three” beat is a slightly higher pitch, in the first time through the chorus, but significantly higher (perhaps an octave above the first “three”?) the second time through the chorus.
Each note of the “Shoo-oo-oo-oo-oo” part is lower than the note before, and the second iteration of the “shoo” starts lower than the first and also decreases in pitch for each note.
I wish I had a musical instrument so I could pick out the tune. Then I could play for one of those “name That Tune” apps and not have to try to explain in words what the music sounds like.
