To be fair I'm going out on a limb here



Edited to say: Sprocket got there first

I got there before both of you!

 

[Ground Elder]

So you did

Thanks - it wasn't as disco-ey as those first two.

I'm thinking that "contagious" must have been "can save us" or something else, so I'm sunk really, unless I hear it again. It was familiar.

down at the primary school it's lesson time and the teacher asks the class for someone to make a sentence with the word 'contagious' in it. little anne puts up her hand and says 'when i had chickenpox i couldn't come to school because i was contagious'. the teacher's heart sinks as little johnny puts up his hand and says 'miss! miss! my dad put the car in for repair and when it didn't come back the next day he said it would take the contagious to fix it'

The best way to describe the sound - I can imagine it on a compilation LP with these

Candi Staton - Young Hearts Run Free (1976)

The Staple Singers - If You're Ready (Come Go with Me) (1973)

The Isley Brothers - Harvest For The World (1976)

I can imagine this compilation LP, and I'd like to have it.

Just got in... Thanks for the help. Forget the "contagious" lyric - I must have got that completely wrong!

I will whistle/hum it and upload the file tomorrow - I reckon it's fairly well known and someone will get it (if you bare in mind the 1970s songs I've mentioned that are sort of in the same genre).

 

[paul russell999]

No - it's not that. Not quite that disco-ey. Thanks

 

[paul russell999]

To recap, I'm trying to identify a tune I heard - sort of 1970s pop/disco

The day after I heard it, I hummed/whistled it into my phone - just put it online!

I can imagine it on a compilation with:

"Harvest for the World" by the Isley Brothers
New York City - I'm doing fine girl
Candi Staton - Young Hearts Run Free (1976)
The Staple Singers - If You're Ready (Come Go with Me) (1973)


I thought the lyrics were

"If your love's contagious... Something something save us"

Googling brings up Tarrus Riley or Taja Sevelle - definitely not them, so I probably misheard the word "contagious"

 

[paul russell999]

Can you hum it?

Yes

 

[BCBlues]

I just played "the hum" and soundcloud followed up with John Legend singing All Of Me.

It aint that is it

 

[danny la rouge]

Yes

So, to recap:

G, G, G, D, F, F. F, F, F, C, Eb, Eb.

 

[BCBlues]

Or this

 

[paul russell999]

I just played "the hum" and soundcloud followed up with John Legend singing All Of Me.

It aint that is it

It's an upbeat 70s pop disco song with roughly the tune I was humming/whistling. Not sure why Soundcloud are following it with that track - I just registered to upload my whistling

 

[paul russell999]

Or this

Not sure if you are joking - but I've already said it's not this. Thanks though!

 

[paul russell999]

It's definitely not Love is Contagious by Taja Seville... It's an upbeat pop/disco track like

Harvest for the World" by the Isley Brothers
New York City - I'm doing fine girl
Candi Staton - Young Hearts Run Free (1976)
The Staple Singers - If You're Ready (Come Go with Me) (1973)

 

[paul russell999]

Although they are four very different songs

 

[bluescreen]

Or this. I was googling lyrics that might be misheard for "your love is contagious"
