Got this tune in my head, the chorus is just some "ah,ah,ah" or "oh,oh,oh" with some hums and maybe some lines after. Anyway there is a strong backbeat guitar going on in the whole song, and I think it was some kind of love song in a movie score in the 80/90'ths or something like that. (I may be wrong) Sounds a little like EWF or Kool & the Gang, with beautiful voices. Btw. its a very slick song, type of ballad.
I'm going nuts here, can someone help me identify it????

Ït's a tune from Top Gun called Take my breath away

Posted by: Staffy May 1 2010, 11:28 PM

Nah, not this one, its no "ah aha ah" or "umm umm umm" in the chorus of that, and I believe there is a guy singing also (in the one Im trying to find). Thx anyway Micke!!!

The chorus reminds me of the chorus in Lennons "Woman", the chords are nearly identical......... and I think the song startts with just a synth a the backbeat guitar.... Im goin crazy here.....

Is it the theme tune to Titanic? cos that goes ummm ummm ummm ah ah ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

No, its not.... If it was that (dreadful Celine "I wanna sing like Whitney & Mariah, but I just simply can't" Dion, I would have remember it since every kid that is supposed to sing have done it in the endings for the summer in school. (which in fact also have caused a lot of headache & pain during the last 7-8 years since my kids started school - I have to listen to these wanna-be singers at least twice a year, before the summer & christmas)
Btw. I just hate this movie, it has the worst actors, the worst music and the worst possible tear-dripping story ever made in the history of Hollywood....

If it's from the eighties, that doesn't narrow it down..
Just a guess here - it's not the Glory Of Love by Peter Cetera is it? *groan* how do I even know this stuff *shakes head*

Posted by: Rik Veldhuizen May 2 2010, 10:04 AM

may be you can record the ah, ah, ah the way you hear it in your head and post it here? Think we need a few more clues here...

Posted by: Bogdan Radovic May 2 2010, 11:59 AM

heheh that thing is crazy and it didn't match anything I was tapping. Am I supposed to tap the guitar part, bass, drums or tempo?

Posted by: Fran May 2 2010, 12:33 PM

I know that we, musicians, have strong bonds that connects us together, but they are not THAT strong - we don't posses telepathic powers => Samples please

Posted by: Daniel Realpe May 2 2010, 04:36 PM

do you have clues of any other lyrics from the song?

type them in google, maybe it comes out

Posted by: MickeM May 2 2010, 07:20 PM

...I think he fell asleep

Posted by: The Uncreator May 2 2010, 07:27 PM

I'm confused.

In my head I hear an ah ah ahh um ahah oh. Or is it an oh oh oooh ah uum oh. But I know of some do dum ah ahs, and some ooh ooh rah ums, that go well with the ah ah and oh ohs you are looking for.....


...Oh god...


... I think I just lost a couple brain cells.....

Posted by: Darktime May 2 2010, 08:32 PM

I still think it sounds like Titanic just as it goes down. If you can`t remember which song it is how can you be sure which song it is`nt? lets have a vote?

Posted by: MickeM May 2 2010, 10:38 PM

Jonas Brothers; Mbop uh ah uhah mbop



EDIT: If you dare to confess you listen to them

EDIT2: Speaking of Celine, could it be "Power of love"? Maybe all this talk about fat old girlfriends and keeping them in your garage (huh yes I belive you said that once) got you in the mood.

FINALLY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I GOT IT !!!! It was "True" by Spandau Ballet from the movie "Charlies Angels" with Cameron Diaz (I saw it recently, thats why I also have Ms.Diaz as a contender to Ms.Pfeiffer even that I still think Ms.Pfeiffer is the one for me... )

Thx. everybody who tried to help! Now I'm gonna SLEEEP well tonite!!!

Posted by: The Uncreator May 2 2010, 11:23 PM

Mostly thanks to Cameron Diaz and not us though

Posted by: Fran May 3 2010, 08:18 AM

I guess we should've started checking Pfeiffer & Cameron's filmographies first of all

Posted by: Staffy May 3 2010, 08:25 AM

That would have been an excellent idea, Fran! Why didn't I thought of that in the first place? Now I gotta watch this movies AGAIN since You mentioned it, starting tonight again with "Scarface" for the 15'th time or something like that....
