Keith Urban’s song “Long Hot Summer” has a part at the bridge where he hums something like [“Ah-ah-aww, a-a-aw, oh oh-h-h”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTae5-FlIzo#t=2m54s). If you clip off the warble at the end, it sounds exactly like a popular 80s song that still gets play today. All I know of the song is the humming part features in every other line of the verses. I think.

Name that tune.

Could this be the song you’re thinking of?
