Again. This should be easy for rock music fans of a certain age. It starts out with a strong bass line and quick tempo. At some point in the song someone is wailing “oh-oh-ohoh-ohoh-etc”. There may be a line about climbing a mountain and swimming a sea. Any ideas?
Jump into the Fire by Harry Nilsson?
How could it be anything else?
Nilsson was so amazing, and died way too young.
Yep, got it in one, as I knew would happen. Problem is that if you type in a lyric like “climb the highest mountain”, you get a lot of hits.
I take it you’ve never seen Goodfellas?
Many times.
About 2 weeks ago, I heard a song Giant Eagle had playing.
Could not understand the words. It stayed in my mind and finally it came to me the other day.
Night Changes by One Direction.
I think my brain was mixing up the bass line with “Stuck In The Middle With You” by Steeler’s Wheel (which has the added plus of COWBELL).
Sadly he ruined his voice by trying to out-shout John Lennon (along with a couple of other lifestyle choices)
Yeah, I always loved “Everybody’s Talkin’”
