Name this song! HELP! Can't think of what song it's from...

[austinm08]

Please listen to this simple melody and let me know what song it is... I can't think of it, and it's driving me crazy.

I'm writing a song and "came up with" this melody, but I know this exact same thing is in some very popular song from the past decade..

Thanks a ton.

It's either Ghostbusters or Want a New Drug !

 

[austinm08]

Nopeeeee. Thanks, though, Ido! Next contestant!

This line (or something very similar) is like the main line/hook of the song... it has to be from the late 90s or early 00s.. I'm pretty sure.
Oh wow, I just realized anything before 2000 is no longer in "the last decade"..... first case of me feeling old[er].....

I love this game!!! Abba...Take A Chance



may not be perfect, but that's the first thing that popped into my head

Nope, sorry it's a male singing, I believe...

crap....I don't know how to make that Youtube clip get into this reply!

Yup. I think Sharon got it. Not exactly the same, but very close.

Ido, I'm not sure what part of Ghostbusters or New Drug you hear that in, but I can't hear any part of either of those tunes in there (besides the fact that they're pretty much the same song).

Oops...missed this as I was typing. It might be the tune you were thinking of, but the first 5 notes are actually the same.

[austinm08]

Alright guys, I have the chord progression backing it now.. maybe this'll help.

EDIT: IDO.. haha.. I didn't catch that. I'm not familiar with either of the tunes, really...

 

[Steenamaroo]

i'm sticking with my answer!

 

[sharonclowe]

Save Tonight- Eagle Eye Cherry

[Steenamaroo]

[austinm08]
