Getting annoyed I need the name to buy the tune!

Sumagspud · 12-14-2015, 11:51 AM

Being driven nuts trying to remember the name of old tunes buzzing my head that I would like to buy mp3's for.

First one has a chorus I think that goes a bit like this

Sing magindy hop magindy dance magindy
(? I remember the tune more then the words)

The other one is worse I just remember an impossible nonsensical word

Hum un away nitin why oo
(? See what I mean)

If anyone can help PLEASE but I realise I may be asking miracles.
Thank you.

You should upload a recording of you singing/humming it.
It's next to impossible to guess it through the given clues.

The way I hear it in my head would not be how it sounded if I tried reproduce it as I can't hum in tune.

But extra information it would be loosely regarded as reggae. I can remember hearing the second one once from a float at the battle of flowers carnival in jersey. The first has a faster beat then the second they were in the uk charts maybe 80's or 90's. The second is possibly a love song.

I agree finding the titles is next to impossible I have tried every search I can no luck.

Why would you buy them? Haven't you ever heard of internet piracy?

Sumagspud · 12-14-2015, 12:45 PM

Ahh aye aye captain I ave. BUT even if I was going to be a pirate I still need the name or me bottle of rum becomes useless.

Anyway just to listen to them again, I still need the titles. I have tried iTunes genius �� But alas no luck. I do actually buy my music because then it hopefully encourages someone to make more and then I remain a happy listener, cause I can't make anything melodious.

you should try to record yourself humming, otherwise we go nowhere.

No chance of that but the first one goes 1 23 1 23 if you know what I mean

We don't. You're asking the impossible here, and that takes six to eight weeks. Try humming, whistling, playing it on the spoons, anything. Otherwise you're on a hiding to nothing. We're not magicians here.

Edit: You could maybe also try the reggae subforum. Just an idea.

Just out of curiosity could it be something by Eddy Grant? for the first?

The second maybe this?:

Deep Forest - Sweet Lullaby
