Help me figure out this song

  1. It’s slower
  2. It has a ‘haunting’ quality to it
  3. Prominent lyrics include “come on come on”
  4. I heard it at Tops Friendly Markets

Thanks!

“Come On” by Lucinda Williams? (note: NSFW lyrics)

.

Mary Chapin Carpenter?

Help narrow it down; country, rock ballad, folk, what kind of instruments, gender of singers?

The singer is a male. I’m not sure what genre it would fit into. A type of rock maybe?

The Verve-Come on?

Blur - Tender?

The Raspberries’ “Go All the Way”? (Skip to 2:04 in the linked video.) The “come on, come on” part of this song is loosely based on the Beatles’ “Please Please Me.”

A great song, but not one I would describe as “slow” or “haunting.”

Scott Hardkiss-“Come on, Come on”?

Not what I’d call haunting but Paul Westerberg, My Daydream?

It’s not Imitation of Life by REM, is it?

By slower do you mean a slow tempo or just something that doesn’t have a driving beat?

Persuasion, by Crowded House (Tim Finn)?

Those aren’t right, unfortunately. It might be by some nobody that only gets play on in-store radio stations. I’ve been waiting to hear it again to see if I can get some more lyrics, but I haven’t heard it in a long time.

Here’s another one. It’s by a lady and it goes (I’m pretty sure) “and we’ll go up, and we’ll go up, and we’ll go up up up up up up.” She sings in a high pitched voice and it’s a pretty cheery sounding song.

Stranglehold? Ted Nugent

Left-field candidate, but could it be “Pulled Up” by Talking Heads?

It fits the “cheery-sounding” description, and David Byrne sings it in very high-pitched voice that I suppose could be mistaken for a female vocalist.

That was the first thing I thought of too. As for the first tune, how about Hang On Sloopy by the McCoys? “Come on come on” starts right around the 2:00 mark.

Shout by Tears for Fears? Thinking of the “come on, I’m talking to you, so come on” bit.

“Kashmir” by Led Zeppelin? It has some “come on come on let me take you there” moaning toward the end.

This fits none of the description except the C’mon part, but hey, why not:

Von Bondies - C’mon C’mon.
