Tune ID help! * Danger: ear worm quarantine

[danny la rouge]

OK folks, I've had this tune snippet in my head for a couple of days now and I can't name it. It's a 60s style groovy-humorous (or humorous-groovy) tune, probably the soundtrack of a film.

I've recorded the bit I can remember (as I remember it!, which may be a bit off).

Anyone able to name it? Cheers.

Baby Elephant Walk : Henry Mancini from the film Hatari.
I think

 

[Spymaster]

Yep.

Fabulous!

Spot on first time. Thank you, sprocket. Thank you urban.

Now I have to work out why I was humming it! Any psychiatrists in the house?

You've heard it in the background of something without realising.

It's often used as an aural comedy backdrop on tv shows and films.

I don't know whether I pulled that from the music files that occupy far too much of my brain or spending far too much time as a youngster in the local laugh and scratch.

James Galway, too. He really was quite a cultural fixture long before he founded Respect.

the answer is probably somewhere in here:

the answer is probably somewhere in here:

I've been meaning to read the Sacks book. I used to read his books all the time.

I recently read a book on music psychology. But it wasn't particularly well written, and had more promise than delivery.

it's very good, just like his other books. I can highly recommend it.

I've got an earworm of this now.

I've been whistling the first bars that Danny posted in the OP around the office, hoping to pass it on to everyone else.

ive got an ID , maybe you know it danny la rouge ...the only lyrics i remember go
We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it

Even Rick rolling me won't dislodge it!

I've had it for days now. I'm currently playing Jorge Boulet doing Lisdt loud to try and get rid of it, but my brain is still shouting the Mancini over the top of it!

See if this helps:

I just came back to let you know that listening to John Dankworth Saturday Night Sunday Morning had finally dislodged it. But then coming back on the thread re-planted it.

It's indestructible.

I thought the scientifically proven* earworm antidote was Norwegian Wood. Always works for me

danny la rouge thanks for this night shift I am due to finish in about an hour. I have been cursed and threatened for whistling that awful tune all night!
One lad said it's bad enough whistling it but you are adding the rythym section too!
Ah well at least it brought some sunshine into an otherwise droll shift!

Ms A380 junior is using this as a teaching aid. Though i'd share the joy.

 

[Sprocket.]

Thanks,A380, I am now so very happy!

This is an early to mid 90s rave tune. It starts off with quite a thick padded (vocal sampled and layered?) sound, and then slowly a machine gun style bass line starts to fade in. Every now and again, the ubiquitous "Wooo!" along with ,"Come on! come on!" fills the gap.

I had this song in my head a while back, and after about an hour or so, I found it but I'll be jiggered if I can find it again. And it's been almost three hours of searching Youtube this time.

Cheers

The Patagonian nose flute riff that starts c.1:13 and plays forfuckingever does my fucking nut in.



I swear my gym plays that fucker on loop. Fuckers.

Sorry dude, that's not the one. It's a little bit too fast. This one's a little more four to the floor 120bpm-ish. Cheers though.
