My boss tells me she heard a song on the local alternative station that went something like “Get Me Valerie,” and asked me if I knew it. I do not. Does it sound familiar to anyone? The station is very eclectic, so it could be just about any genre or era except contemporary pop.
I’m sure it’s not the Steve Winwood song!
The onlt two songs that come to mind are
The Monkees “Valleri” (is there a guitar solo in the middle of it?)
Material Issue “Valerie Loves Me”.
Neither of them, IIRC, says “Get me Valerie” in them, though.
I found a Golden Earring song that says “Get Me Valerie.”
You did? Which one would that be as I am a huge Golden Earring fan and can’t place the song.
Well after this long I found the song in question, or at least the Golden Earring song. It’s called No for an Answer off of Prisoner of the Night. Though the lyric is “Valerie is gonna say yes to me.”
Corus for Valerie by Steve Winwood.
See what happens when you only skim the OP? You answer with what the OP says is wrong and you leave the ‘h’ out of chorus.
Richard Thompson’s “Valerie” has the repeated line “waiting for Valerie”. Not too close, I know. Ask her if the singer had a marked English accent.
adam yax beat me to it.
Definately Steve Winwood.
I think it might be a Nirvana song with a chorus that goes… like…
“(mumble) me (mumble)-ee!” that has the same number of syllables as “Get Me Valierie” and definitely could be mistaken for same. I’ll get back to you on what the song is…
…It’s “Aneurysm” - The chorus is “Beat me outta me”.
Maybe it’s not the song. But, truth be told, I had absolutely no clue what the chorus was until now and I’ve listened to Nirvana since 1991. It really and truly could have been interpreted as “Get me Valerie.”
!
Would that be “what else could I be…all apologies” Song is “All Apologies”
That was my first thought when I read the OP, but you’re right that it doesn’t say “get me Valerie”… hmm…
