Middleman Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 I've got this tune in my head. I think it is an O'Jays song but I've only got the chorus melody. It was back in the day maybe around the time of "Looky Looky" and "I dig your act" Chorus was a bit quick and repeated a couple of times Its drivng me crazy Maybe a long shot and sorry to post such trivia but.............can anyone help? PS, If its not by the O'Jays (as I believe it is) I realise I'm screwed. Cheers Middy

Middleman Posted March 1, 2011 Author Posted March 1, 2011 Thanks for reply but it ain't that mate, i just listened to it on youtube, good tune though. Cheers Middy
Shinehead Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 As stated in the previous post some lyrics might help, O'jays have had loads of records from the 60,s big on the northern scene so without some lyrics you are on a loser .
Middleman Posted March 1, 2011 Author Posted March 1, 2011 Thats the problem, I cannot remember the lyrics. No worries, like you say I'm probably on to a loser. Maybe in a moment of extreme lucidity the words'll pop into my head. Cheers
KevH Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Thats the problem, I cannot remember the lyrics. No worries, like you say I'm probably on to a loser. Maybe in a moment of extreme lucidity the words'll pop into my head. Cheers Workin on your case / Hold On ?

Middleman Posted March 1, 2011 Author Posted March 1, 2011 I really appreciate all of the replies but it isn't anyone of them. I think I'll "withdraw" my post and quietly slink away now as I'm beginnnig to make a tit out of myself and its getting embarrassing. Again thanks, if it comes to me I'll post it up (exciting eh?) Chorus - "duh duh duh duh dut der, der... dud a dud a dut der" As I said, embarrassing ! Ignore me and I promise not to post ever again.

Guest Dave Turner Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) Think it may be this mate, no pissing about this time. "duh duh duh duh dut der, der... dud a dud a dut der" From the "Ship Ahoy" album (1973) ---- great album. Edited March 1, 2011 by Dave Turner
Rhino Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 could it be this o jays tune o'jays - i dig your act - bell
Middleman Posted March 1, 2011 Author Posted March 1, 2011 O'Jays my a*** ! No wonder nobody got it, sorry bout that. I suddenly remebered it had the word "Grazing" in it. I do know but in case any of the people who replied now knows it, feel free to show off. Cheers Mid

Guest Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 is that the same as Third Time Around?? No it's the same as M Reeves
Guest Dave Turner Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 (edited) Try the album of the same name,it has (l seem to remember)cartoon characters of the band on the front....Sure there are lots of copies about....Everybody seem to have it in our school when l was about 14 in 1972 Good Luck!! Yeah, you're right Webby, everyone seemed to have the Ship Ahoy album at one time as it got rave revues in Blues & Soul etc. Easy enough to get and often don't sell for as low as a couple of quid. Including postage a fiver tops. As I said before a really good album. Edited March 2, 2011 by Dave Turner
Windlesoul Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Chorus - "duh duh duh duh dut der, der... dud a dud a dut der" Sounds like the Devotions to me!!!
Citizen P Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 is that the same as Third Time Around?? If you mean Third World............................yep. Tony
Guest Dave Turner Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 l was talking about the album 'Grazing In The Grass' by Friends Of Distinction' And yes l remember the O'Jays album getting rave reviews in B&S.. Ooops!
Citizen P Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 .....and yet another mistake on this thread by 'Yours Truely' l did Tony,yes.. Now l must go as l have a few tracks to listen to by Brothers Of Distinction and Third Time Around that have yet to make it big on this scene... You might want to try the Brothers Of Time or the Third Distinction Around Tony
