There’s a song that I can’t remember the name of and is driving me crazy. It goes: dum da, da dum da da dum da, dum da, da dum da da dum da. Anybody know what that is?

Edit: found it. In case it sounded good to you too It’s Sail Away by Enya.

Feel like maybe it’s better to have a few posts before promoting…there is one post and it’s downvoted to -3.

How is this supposed to work? How do you describe a song in text well enough for someone else to recognise it?!

Parts of the lyrics? A snippet of the song from some video? One of the band members name? There’s lots of ways.

The way it worked on Reddit was that people would post a link to a small audio clip of them singing the song (usually on vocaroo.com) or playing what they remembered of it on an instrument. You could also talk about what happened in the music video, what kind of voices were singing, etc.

If I tell you I can’t remember the name of a tune commonly played at Christmas that has a couple recordings with singing and some just as an instrumental, and on the instrumental there’s a horse whinny and whip crack? You probably know I’m talking about Sleigh Ride.

I was gonna say jingle bells, so no.

I’ve personally never heard a rendition of Jingle Bells with a horse whinny and whip crack. Which one is this?

I feel like shazam and similar apps make this rather pointless. Hell my pixel is always listening and identifies every song that plays around me, so I can easily go back through the list to find the song.
