Title: Whats that Tune?
Post by: locksmith on 28 September 2012, 04:59:17 pm
Had a tune buzzing round my head for a couple of days and I can't remember what it's called Heeellppp.
 
It's from the seventies I think. Instrumental with lots of trumpet, bongos and guitar. It's funk based similar sort of thing as Machine Gun by the Commodores.
 
It's doing my head in , I must find it and play it loud  :eek

Soundhound (http://www.soundhound.com/) is pretty good at identifying tunes and you don't have to be able to hold a tune for it to work.
Title: Re: Whats that Tune?
Post by: Pat on 29 September 2012, 04:48:30 pm
Maybe something by Earth Wind & Fire?

Title: Re: Whats that Tune?
Post by: locksmith on 01 October 2012, 09:29:14 am
It's a foccin instrumental :lol

About a month ago I heard it again on Steve Wright but missed the bit where he says what it was :hammer and since then it's been rattling round my head.
It's probably a seventies soul funk band and it wasn't a big hit or by a big band and it's the sort of tune that they would use as a background to talking over on the radio so probably not going to find it unless I email Steve Wright !!

And I agree that the track Steve Wrong used was probably "Pick up the Pieces" by AWB or something

What on Earth were they????
Instrumental with lots of trumpet, bongos and guitar.
 
 
Nearly there! :\
 
I am trying.   :'(
Title: Re: Whats that Tune?
Post by: locksmith on 03 October 2012, 10:39:20 am
Definately not AWB.  Think Commodores/Earth Wind Fire/James Brown/Funkadelic. Really heavy on bongos and trumpets.
 
Been trawling the R2 website and found they list all the old shows with music played. After an hour or so it aint there  :'(
 
Guess I'll have to wait another 20 years before I hear it again.  :b
Title: Re: Whats that Tune?
Post by: Pat on 03 October 2012, 11:53:46 am
Is it definitely just an instrumental?

I can think of some possibilities, but they've all got lyrics/singers in them too.
