Tomangoes Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 This is a real long shot. I only ever heard this at cleethorpes. Ok goes like this Ding ding ding,,,,,,,,ding ding,ding,ding ding ding ding. and repeat. A fast stomping instrumental with a distinct guitar opening. Sorry that all I got. For years I thought it was soul step by the dogs until I heard that tune off a CD and its not the same record. Think think think. Ed

Tomangoes Posted February 14, 2005 Author Posted February 14, 2005 You see the problem was that the first wintergarden nighters had the DJs just through the door and you could go up and see the disc. Then they moved it up to the stage at the back and made it impossible to see what was being played. I blame the DJs. Probably covered up anyway. Ding ding ding. Ed
Paul R Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 Was it ding, ding a dong, or was that a eurovision thing?

lisahurley Posted February 15, 2005 Posted February 15, 2005 If there's a canine link; Mad Dog & The Pups on Magic City???? link I remember, ding ding ding for 'king hours, no breaks and no key change - shocking
Paul R Posted February 15, 2005 Posted February 15, 2005 Is It "With This Ring" By The Belles on Bell(with a Bellsound stamp) or does the Quasimodo Band ring any bells?
Tomangoes Posted February 15, 2005 Author Posted February 15, 2005 Look, there was no dongs only dings. No rings only dings. Some dings were faster than other dings, musically speaking. Anyway its about 28 years ago since I last heard it, but the dings still dinging. Come on you ding lovers whats the dinginging title/artist/label/value.

Godzilla Posted February 15, 2005 Posted February 15, 2005 It's not Raw Soul - The Gig is it? Cleethorpes, Inst, guitar intro, lots of "dings", boring... Just a thought. Godz

Godzilla Posted February 15, 2005 Posted February 15, 2005 Bloody hell, I was going to suggest that exact record...horrible electric guitary thing which they always said was gonna go big but never did.. link I only remeber it cos it was also the number one sound at Oldham Cats Whiskers for about two weeks. Believe the flip might be a nice funk tune though... Anyway - is this the one then? Godz

Godz link The guitar break is in the middle though,not the intro......horrible(as Pete says)maybe-boring?.....Never.People used to do that funny sort of skipping dance to it (if I remember right.... )
Tomangoes Posted February 15, 2005 Author Posted February 15, 2005 No Nope, none of them. Falbala - Jesus. More like a very basic Champion with a driving beat from the lead guitar. Played at the same time as stuff like broadway sissy, similar speed in terms of dancing. Ding ding ding intro like a harder version of the intro to 'Your love makes me Lonely'. Now I cant stop twanging my imaginary guitar string. Ed
Pete S Posted February 15, 2005 Posted February 15, 2005 It's not that awful Bill Pursell thing on Spar is it?
Tomangoes Posted February 15, 2005 Author Posted February 15, 2005 Not sure, but the dancefloor used to fill up. Then again it did for Black Soul Music. Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Black Soul. Im sticking to Ding ding ding. Forget Na Na Na. Ed
Guest Johnny Mack Posted February 15, 2005 Posted February 15, 2005 ........................MUSIC MINUS TWO ON BOBALOU ? Right era and venue - could conceivably meet the "ding" criteria; not so sure about the "fast" bit !
Guest in town Mikey Posted February 15, 2005 Posted February 15, 2005 Isnt giving an instrumental a title, a bit like getting a blind man to buy a carpet that matches his curtains?? 'kin pointless.

Godzilla Posted February 15, 2005 Posted February 15, 2005 A few more guitar dominated insts: Joey Dee - How Can I Forget - Caneil 5 Of A Kind - The Other Side - Sidra Centuries - Jack 23 - Cleopatra (I think this is the only one really associated with Cleethorpes) Any of these dingie enough for ya, Ed?

Guest Awake 502 Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Metal Heart ! Any chance of a sound bite please?? link Maybe this is a bit obscure, but sample attached anyhow. It's not something obvious like Phil Coulter is it ?

Paul R Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 I know you said instrumental, but last night listening to a load of mp3s on came The Jewels, We got Togetherness. More boing, Boing than Ding Ding, but with a forgetable vocal and a few guitar things going on, could this be the mysterious sound?
Tomangoes Posted February 16, 2005 Author Posted February 16, 2005 Thanks for all your help, but none of the suggestions jump out. I guess I will have to go to a revival night over there and quiz the Old Jocks. I am guessing it was a Poke spin, and probably covered up or an acetate, as its never come out on the 100 or so CDs I have aquired. I am not sure my vocal interpretation of the tune will be any more use than the ding ding ding written down. Is that Leaking Boot chippy still open up the road? Ed

Tomangoes Posted February 16, 2005 Author Posted February 16, 2005 Well What a splendid offer. If you email me your address at edyc1@aol.com, I will post a tape of some of my 'slightly obscure' tunes in return for a tape of your 'slightly obscure' tunes including instrumentals. Sorted. (Always wondered what tape swoppers were!!)
Guest martyn Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Maybe this is a bit obscure, but sample attached anyhow. It's not something obvious like Phil Coulter is it ? link Cheers mate,hadnt heard that in over 25 years.

Just thought ofanother possibility as you metioned Poke, he had an acetate played as James Bynum think it was called "Love music"....
Tomangoes Posted February 18, 2005 Author Posted February 18, 2005 Now that does ring a bell, or pluck a string in this case. Was it uncovered? Ed
Guest lali Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 It's seven years later now and I have been searching the last few weeks for the title of a song that also starts with ring ding ding and a fast stomping instrumental with a distinct guitar opening. By reading these posts I kept on searching and I found the song I was looking for. Maybe you've found yours seven years ago but I wonder if it was the same song... Michel Legrand - Di-gue Ding Ding
