I really can’t remember much about this song except that there was a lot of la-la-la-ing.

Hit Tab-Enter by mistake.

Anyway. So, there was a lot of la-la-la-ing throughout the song and the first two lines were (I think)…

_Whenever I feel a little crazy  
Got some trouble getting into the swing_

Anyone know the one I’m talking about?

I spent about 10 minutes on Google, trying to find anything. I did not have any luck. I couldn’t search for “la,” since the word is “too common.”

What genre of song is it?

Is it an old song from the 60s-70s?

A few days ago I was listening to an oldie and I remember it had a “la la la” section in it. Unfortunately I don’t remember the title or the lyrics.

Oh shush, **antechinus** … 😛

**Reeder** , I’m afraid it’s neither.

I don’t know much about the song’s roots. I just remember hearing it on a borrowed mix-tape years ago. It was a female voice, and the snatches of lyrics that I do remember are:

_Whenever I feel a little crazy  
Got some trouble getting into the swing_

…

_Just slip and slide away  
Into your dreams_

And that’s about it. I remember I liked the song. It was a tad sappy, but pleasant on the ears nevertheless.

Does that help any, **AlbertRose** , **Vision of Love**?
