[Southern Sun](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3q_SchLR0I) by Boy & Bear? The chorus starts “So come on, come on, I’m ready now”.

Not right, thus far. It’s not a classic rock hit, if it was I would know it.

I know it’s is not your song but the OP reminded me of [this](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVJZKb9SCLA)song which I haven’t heard in many many years so I just want to say thanks Cardboard for the reminder.

Could it possibly be Let’s Get It On by Marvin Gaye?

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.

It’s The Killers, ‘Jenny Was A Friend of Mine.’

Great song. One of my favourite by them.

I know that song. It’s not bad.

But that’s not it. My song is slower paced.

Tip of the Tongue on Reddit hasn’t helped either.

Muzak has been know to pick extremely obscure bands. This is probably the case.
