Where have you heard or seen this? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 02:42, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It does kind of remind me of "Uptown Funk". ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 05:35, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Placing my assumption of good faith on overdrive, the proffered rendition might fit the opening of Mars, the Bringer of War from Gustav Holst's The Planet Suite – which however is not a 'song' by most definitions. {The poster formerly knowna s 87.81.230.195} 94.1.137.14 (talk) 12:47, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No, that goes tiddly dee, pom, ba-ba-bom, tiddly dee, pom, ba-ba-bom. Shantavira|^{feed me} 08:24, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not ba-da boom?  ​‑‑Lambiam 02:43, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You'd really want to make a voice recording of that. Try Vocaroo or share a voice memo file somewhere. Aaron Liu (talk) 14:19, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Tom's Diner by Suzanne Vega? Matt Deres (talk) 14:27, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You might have more luck identifying that composition by searching for its melody contour expressed as Parsons code – try https://www.musipedia.org/melodic_contour.html . -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 14:49, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

► "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da"? -- Yes, its an actual song (by the Police) --136.56.165.118 (talk) 14:39, 18 June 2025 (UTC)'[reply]

So not just "Da Da"?? Damn! Martinevans123 (talk) 14:44, 18 June 2025 (UTC) (Not forgetting... Ding-a-dong, Diggi-Loo Diggi-Ley, and countless others, of course...)[reply]

Non-lexical vocables in music. I don't think De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da and Shama Lama Ding Dong belong in category:Onomatopoeia - what are they supposed to be imitating the sound of? Perhaps there should be a "songs with nonsense lyrics" category, to include for a start the twenty songs titled La La La.  Card Zero  (talk) 15:37, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Darude - Sandstorm? Avessa (talk) 23:21, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I thought it might be the Crazy Frog's version of Axel F. But probably not. DuncanHill (talk) 23:35, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I want you to remember this for the rest of your life: on the Internet, there are forums, clubs, non-profits, and even individual people that specialise in everything under the sun. Try the most specific first. If you can't find anyone who knows, they will know someone who knows someone who knows the answer.

I'm going to make an educated guess and say that you don't speak English as a first language because you spelled "I'm" as "im" and "wrong" as "rong". If it's something regional, that's a clue. Is it a song from your generation, or from your parents', or your children's? Did you hear it in a video game or a movie? Shushimnotrealstooge (talk) 02:17, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Are the do do do's someone's vocals, or are they instrumental? This kind of reminds me of "The Walls Came Down" by The Call - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kX8lqXAONg - KConWiki (talk) 18:09, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
