[solved] Anyone know an older song that has "oooh-wooo-oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo-oooo~~-oooo~~

Edit: Walk Like A Man by Four Seasons thanks and credit to groucho for finding it!

Not sure if thats in the chorus or somewhere else in the song, i just sort of vividly recal all the oooos and wooos 😅

Makes me think of Spandau Ballet and also that quartet group Frank puts together in Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia a bit but I just mean the sound

Literally the song is called "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm" by The Crash Test Dummies.

Definitely not what you're asking for, but this is what I got reminded of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BzQ0ytaJtk 😅

Be nice if I knew what tune that ooohing was to.

It could be so, so many things. 🤣

You're not thinking of "pennywise - bro hymn" are you?

cheese_greater@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

No, I think its a bit slower and the wooo and oooo rhyme with "knew"

Smokey Robinson, "Ooo, Baby Baby?"

Billy Joel, "For the Longest Time?"

Neither, thanks though

The genre is called doo wop. Unfortunately there are hundreds of songs with that refrain because it defined the style.

There are a few websites where you can hum something and they'll try to identify it. I haven't used them, so I can't speak as to how well they'll work, but if you know what it sounds like in your head, it might be easier than describing it.

Never used these guys before, but I suppose it's worth a shot.

I think you should upload a clip of you humming the song to help us help you.

Thurston Harris - Little Bitty Pretty One (probably not it, but it's the best "ooh-woo" song in my head right now)
