Earworm. An instrumental, as far as I remember, but with 'da da da'
voices. Possibly/probably 1960s.

Da da da da
(lower key) da da dum dum,
Da da da da
Dum dum dum dum

Or something like that ...

Possibly used as a DJ theme, or similar.

Now I have an earworm. I know the one you mean, later than that,
possibly 1980's/ 1990's.

Thanks for the guess, but no, that sounds far too modern, which doesn't
necessarily mean that the one in my head is not fairly modern, but I
think it is older.

I'll try again.

That particular one was also made without the German, I recall it. Still no
idea why they bothered though!

When you say instrumental do you mean there are no voices singing the dums?
There were a lot of synth based tracks like Popcorn for example. An early
Georgio Moroder track like Chickory tips Son of my Father as his second
outing then of course that hypnotic Donna Summer track and later with Phil
Oakey with Human League.

There were a lot of such tracks that had no voices though. and its finding
the right one.

I had an earworm from childhood that I wanted to identify.
It was actually the first 7 inch vinyl record we ever had.

I finally did by putting the memorised notes as I remembered it as
Parsons code using https://www.musipedia.org/

I was quite elated when it actually worked and gave me the title, it
was actually this.

You Muppet ;-)

I genuinly think Brian is gifted in aurally to comensate for what he
lacks visually.

Intresting though, the origanal spelling was (if this makes it through
your newsreaders intact) Mah Nà Mah Nà

Strangely, I wondered that.

Yes, I did the same search. Listened too, but I think the version I
heard in my head must have been the Muppets.

Bloody hell Brian!! Admit it: you've won Popmaster Champions League so
many time they won't let you enter again?


And Graham: if only you had said this:

'"Mah Nà Mah Nà" debuted as part of Umiliani's soundtrack for the
Italian mondo film Svezia, inferno e paradiso (Sweden: Heaven and Hell
(1968), an exploitation documentary film about wild sexual activity and
other behaviour in Sweden."'

.... then I'd have been first to ID it!
(I mean the transcription of Mah Na MahNa", rather than your rather
pathetic "da da da da" of course :-D)

That's gentler than most nicknames imposed by teachers.

I agree that fits the description best, but was not in fact the sought
answer!
