Woke up this morning with a song in my head which just won't leave. Not that I particularly want it to, it's quite nice. But I need to find out what it is!

Not much to go on. 80's I'd guess, kind of like a synthy ballad, electric piano's etc, female vocalist, singing something about "take me to the top"

Got the hook as clear as a bell in my head, but obviously that won't translate to text 🙂

Find somebody with an Amazon Echo & sing it to the machine.

Alexa, what's the song that goes...

Bob:

Nice try, but not that. Much slower and dreamier.

thought it might be a bit too easy! Never mind, it's led to a load of Studio 54 disco stuff on YT, so it's all good!

I don't think it's anything unusual, sounds like a pop song. Kind of thing you'd see on TOTP with someone miming and loads of dry ice.

Might have to get my synth out and recreate the hook. It's driving me crazy.

Are you sure it wasn't Take Me To the Fridge (Milky Milky?)
Probably the best song ever released in the history of music

Do you have shazam on your phone? Open that and sing to it.

Doesn't work with Shazam, neither do live tracks, unless they're actual catalogued album releases.
There was another app that was supposed to recognise tunes sung to it, but I could never get it to work, the fact I can't carry a tune in a bucket doesn't help...
Not even sure it's still around.

As soon as I read your first post I [i]knew[/i] it was going to be that song. I didn't know what it was called or who it was by but I knew it was that song.
Which is **** all use I know.

Pfft! For most of yesterday I had the French chorus of "Last night my wife hoovered my head" by Fat and Frantic whizzing around in my bonce.

"Hier soir, ma femme vaccuumait ma tete......"
