well, i can't remember the notes on piano, so i just wondered if anyone can tap this out with their finger, and figure out what this hippy tune is (no, i wasn't aruond then, but it's good). it's a tune that goes on for ages and just seems to go round and round like a chorus repeating, but it's kickass loud, and would make for a great remix ..maybe

follow the following o's as the set of taps,

the commas are a good pause in between the sets of taps.

the fullstops are a longer break.

wonder if this can work. ps. don't want to be criticised, just tell me the tune / band if anyone can work it out??

here's the rhythm to tap :-


oo ooo ooo o, oo ooo ooo o, oo ooo ooo o, oo ooo ooo o.

o, ooo, oo ooo ooo o, oo ooo ooo o, ooo ooo o.


thanks, i've been trying to remember for yeeaarrrrs !

Can you turn it up a bit :confused:

Thankyou Owdlad, best laugh of the evening so far.....island3rlara, what genre / kind of tune are we talking here?
The more you can remember, the more chance someone'll get it....

I've been tapping away and my guess is..

The titanic distress signal!

means it's good loud owdlad.. lol

and i've said hippy music halibut...


nope it's not a signal .....

Sounds a bit like the bailiff tapping on our door, " Im Off"

'oo ooo ooo I wanna be like you you you!':thumbsup:

you obviously have way to much spare time,,,,,lol

its got be t rex--hot love--chorus goes on for about a week!--more of a glam rock tune than a hippy one though!-early 70s!

please tap with your fingers peeps, that will avoid injuries and better chance it resembling music ...

hmmm more clues, sorry can't begin to think what instrument it's really played on, but it's quite high pitch and all instrumental,
must be guitar, but doesn't sound much like one

heck it might be t-rex, but still not sure, i'll givve hot love a try mikeyspikey... x :D

Where have you heard this track....was it in an advert on the telly, or something like that?

Do you know when it was first released, e.g. 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s or 90s?

Is it rock, blues, middle of the road, or whatever?

All I get when I tap it out, at the moment, is a footie chant:loopy:

is it oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooonly the lonley roy orbison.:thumbsup:

i think it's folk rock, i'm trying to find some t rex that sounds like it but i'm not hopeful so far - did they ever do folk rock???

i hope your not swearing lol:D fok rock:suspect:

You cannot be serious
I can't stop laughing:D :D :D
It might be easier for us if you could hum it
:clap:

I was ripping some music from CDs, and this is a long shot.....could it be "Fanfare For The Common Man", by Emerson, Lake & Palmer....the version I'm just ripping is live and goes on for over seven minutes.

One thing about your Os....you don't say whether they are crotchets, quavers or whatever?

O tha Dearf as well as chuffin daft? :hihi:

I can't believe I have sat at my desk and tapped!!

I still have no clue but have succeeded in fracturing my finger! :mad:

"oo ooo ooo o, oo ooo ooo o, oo ooo ooo o, oo ooo ooo o.

o, ooo, oo ooo ooo o, oo ooo ooo o, ooo ooo o. Theres no limits."

hey ann_x you just might have cracked it (forgot to check if anyone had), gonna look into this Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Amazing if you've solved it for me - will let you know soon. :)

I know it's funny evri1 but it's always in the back of my mind this tune, cos it's great to wake up to - will be when I get a copy :D

maybe sing, hum whatever it, record it and post the url to the wav/mp3. Sounds like a plan dont you think? I like hippy music so maybe you get somewhere.

I love your state of mind tho :-)

It sounds just like....... me tapping on my computer table:confused:

sounds like the intro to eye of the tiger in my head. somebody get it out of there its all I can think of now!!!

by the way rlara is me island3rlara - had a few problems on this site see. thanks joffrey, will look into setting up mp3 link, if this isn't it - i'm checking if it's emerson palmer thingy now, thanks for all tapping away peeps, hope your finger's ok dawny1, let you know soon if i've found it, or will be humming it to ya - so pray i've found it or i'll be back ! :D :help:

I'm still searching, so this annoying thread is back again..

I've recorded the tune on my mobli this time, anyone know how to convert .amr to mp3???? if so i can upload the tune i've hummed onto it, so anyone can tell me what it is ?? cheers

Have you tried this website?
http://www.songtapper.com/s/tappingmain.bin?dotap=1

http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/

A really good and free editor.

You also need this program if you want to export your file to .mp3

http://audacity.sourceforge.net/help/faq?s=install&item=lame-mp3

The first time you want to export a file to mp3 it will ask you where to find the lame.dll file, browse to it and it should be all good.

Thanks, tried the song tapper site, thought it was going to be a joke but it works, don't think it knows this one though, but i'm going to try it one more time.

Now trying the audio editor. Hope i get it soo oo oon, it's drivin me bananas :)

This seems very much like the fourth movement of Janacek's Sinfonietta, entitled 'The streets of Brno'. You may remember it as the theme tune to the TV series 'Crown Court'.

was that a hippy band? don't think that's it... :D :D

Can you send me that file you recorded on your mobile? PM me or smt

have'nt a clue, but had a good laugh going oo ooo oo oooo

keep up the good work

hi evr1 thanks for criticisms and some praise, well i've transferred it onto the comp from mobli now, took me a while but did it sorry joffrey couldn't figure out 'audacity' so used 'smartaudio' instead which took the brains out of the scenario for me :| now it's an mp3 file, just don't know how to post it onto site or pm now :huh: :help: next step, will post it on here for all to have another laugh :suspect: :o :hihi: :) and hopefully tell me what track / band it is ???????????? :confused:

Send it to me I'll put in on my website for a few days if you want with a direct link to it posted onhere. How big is it?

You won't be able to send it via PM, for the same reason that you can't post an attachment on SF.

However, if it's a small enough file, it can be e-mailed to anyone who is prepared to put it onto a website, and post the link here.

:clap: I KNOW IT, I KNOW IT :clap: Its when Im calling yoooooooooooooooooo
you will answer tooooooooooooooooo ( Indian love call ) Slim Whitman. :hihi: :hihi: :banana: :banana: :hihi: :hihi:

Im probably wrong though:D

so i should email it to you joffrey it's not very big let's see... 256 bytes.. is that ok? flashbang - you're right ! (it's not).. :)

Ooooh yeah :D, and how to email it to you??? will be brill to get this figured out, been bugging me for about 10 years !!!!! As an email it's 28.4 KB.

[Q

here's the rhythm to tap :-


oo ooo ooo o, oo ooo ooo o, oo ooo ooo o, oo ooo ooo o.

o, ooo, oo ooo ooo o, oo ooo ooo o, ooo ooo o.

Your keyboards bug..e.d

Here we go:

http://www.ataxic.plus.com/05112900.mp3

thnx, now its bugging me too :D

I think if you want to hear this properly you may have to play it back on winamp or somt, well thanx let me know if you know peeps !!?

It's by Jethro Tull, but what track...


Edit: Months later, I think it's "House of the King" by Focus.

living in the past ? perhaps:help:

I can hear that, in my head, originally being played on a keyboard.....I still think it may be Emerson Lake & Palmer....maybe a track from Pictures from an Exhibition.

At one point I thought it could be Hocus Pocus, by Focus, but it's not.

Otherwise, could it be Rick Wakeman.

ooooooooooh this is really bugging me now:huh:

Yaaaay! Jethro Tull sounds right, thanks maggi. :wave: :clap: :banana: :clap: Not sure if it is "living in the past" depooix though its very similar, like that one too anyhow. Now I'm gonna be checking out a bunch of old lp shops see if they've got an original??????? Or cd, cos I just wanna get my hands on it now !! thanks all !!:clap: :partyhat: :thumbsup: :banana: :clap: Still open to more guesses please till I get the actual cd or smt - will let you know !! (whether you want to or not !) :hihi:

if it is jethro tull, "thick as a brick" comes very close to your humming, i'm not really convinced, but its not "living in the past" although I dont know whats going on in your head and how you express things :-)

I know what you mean joffrey but it's just like I hummed it, I've got notes in my head which I know are absolutely spot on, it 's the only thing I havent forgot or got mixed up about it. Don't think its thick as a brick either... :( oh. to be confirmed. ironic if it was though eh.

This is the best thread i have read in ages:thumbsup: . Its so creative of you to put a song on here in oo, oo' s, great fun:hihi: , i've been sat here clapping it, tapping it and humming its, felt silly :loopy: until i heard your version, your so brave:P . Thank you :banana: for making my day... haven't got a clue :suspect: on the song though sorry and good luck;) . xx

hi thanks for first bit, but then you say you felt silly until you heard my version?? oh no that's not good... :blush: oh well, feel free to join in :help: who's that in the white coats... :wave: :nod:

Hmm, not sure. I'll try tapping it in capital O's to see if it makes it any clearer?
:hihi:

bumpety bumpety bump, anyone with any more clues? :confused:

Have you tried this website?
http://www.songtapper.com/s/tappingmain.bin?dotap=1
That site is fun... it got Listen to Your Heart and the Boy With the Arab strap well enough but missed the boat on Joyride and Road Rage (came up with Hot Stuff for the latter, which,when you think about it, isn't a bad guess)

It's very much like "Bike" by Pink Floyd....

"I've got a bike, you can ride if it you like. It's got a basket, a bell, and things to make it look it look good...."

It's from The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn.

Just as a matter of interest, island3rlara, was this track a big hit?

I'm watching the 100 Greatest No. 1s, and The Animals' "The House of the Rising Sun", and Procul Harem's "Whiter Shade of Pale" have similar riffs to what you describe, but they're not exactly the same.

I don't know Ann_x I wasn't around when it came out :|

Still, it's a HiT to me. I must get this track!!!!!!!! :)

Now looks like I'm bugged for good. :( someone over 45/50 should know it :confused:

try this:

http://songtapper.com/s/tappingmain.bin?dotap=1

Hi, thanks for all ideas, checked song tapper, it doesn't get it. :(

Will try Emerson lake & palmer again then ann* cheers :)

Will let you all know when I find it - if ever ! ;)

If anyone knows it let me know it too :D

By the way, this track is totally instrumental, no singing at all as I can remember. If there is, it'll be on the very slim side. So listen to it, and tap to it, and see if you know it. Cheers :)

Woo hoo :clap:

There's just been a trailer on BBC1 for a new sitcom called Saxondale, and what music was playing over the top....?

It was "House Of The King" by Dutch prog-rockers Focus as used for the theme of 70's science series "Don't Ask Me" presented by Dr Magnus Pyke amongst others.

There you go island3rlara.....I knew we'd get it in the end, although I have a feeling someone may have mentioned it earlier in the thread, but I can't be sure without reading all the way through.

:banana:

:partyhat: Ann_x !! :partyhat:

Great, I am jumping up and down (in my head!!) :thumbsup:

This is great !! :clap:

Can't believe it's turned up like that - must be in the air waves ! :suspect:

Thanks, I am gonna download it now - so hope it is that, I'm sure it is if you heard it. When's this sitcom on? Will have to watch it (for the title music !!) :hihi:

:partyhat: This ends a 10 year bug !!! :headbang: (yes I've gone bananas, as just seen this 10 day old reply to my thread) :banana: don't get to use this smiley much -> :partyhat:

Oh yeah, by the way, thanks to maggi aswell she sent me pm on 17th (june) with answer too (dunno if she posted it)!! Cheers I will be playing it night and day!

The only tap around here is you:loopy:
