On That Note - Goo Goo G'Joob

[cyclones500]

For a long time I assumed ABACAB was a reference to the chord progression in some way. But later I read it's sections/arrangement of the song the band labeled A-B-C as they were writing/learning it. Then the title stuck. I haven't dug much deeper, maybe someone can help me further.

The whole last half of the song is basically repeating "Na Na Na Na" and the song title over and over

Or maybe a little bit of Ol' Blue Eyes, Ooby dooby doo...


If you're not dancing to this end part, you're dead...
Ah hey ma ma, ma-me doo-de din-day-ya, Hey ma ma ma hey-yah
Ah hey ma ma ma ma. Make it easy on yourself
Ah hey ma ma, ma-me doo-de din-day-ya. Hey ma ma ma hey-yah
Ah hey ma ma ma ma, Ah hey ma ma, ma-me doo-de din-day-ya
Hey ma ma ma


A little bop talk from Cindy Lauper:

MeanDean MIGHT know this one, maybe a few of the others whose parents were WWII era. My Mama taught me this one when I was little:

I forgot about this one. Soo good.
They just released the Saturday Morning Cartoon's Greatest Hits on vinyl for Black Friday. Lots of other great covers on there.

A couple of segments of "gibberish" -- deet-dee-dee-dee etc. and coo-coo-ca-choo.

 

[LincolnSwinger]

Manfred Mann's Blinded by the Light. Though you can understand the words (except that ONE infuriating line), they're put together in a way that makes it gibberish. We'd listen and think "WTH does that mean?"

 

[cyclones500]

S***, this just came back to me.

See if you can keep this from sticking in your head. Full album containing this song, "Trio & Error" (1983) is solid, if you're intrigued.



*To clarify: The "gibberish" that sounds like German is German."

I'm not sure what the technical term is for this style, where the vocalists use syllables and never full words...I just call it Ray Conniff style, since he used it extensively...

Followed your link to Mrs Robinson, and immediately thought of this one:

 

[ImJustKCClone]

Pompatus of love, anyone???

 

[ImJustKCClone]

Wondering how this one hasn't shown up yet...

 

[IsUaClone2]

I can listen to this over and over, Be Bop A Lula by Gene Vincent:



Two versions of Land of 1000 Dances. First Cannibal and the Headhunters,



then, kicking it up a notch, Wilson Pickett,

 

[ImJustKCClone]

Howzabout an earworm that every parent of a toddler despises?

 

[CYdTracked]

Haven't seen this one yet, lot of gibberish in this one



Old school version:
