What's this song called?

10 Aug 2004

I just love cheesy music and make no apologies for my lack of taste :lol2: The Goombay Dance Band were very underestimated in my opinion cool

....... which brings me to the reason for this thread. I heard an old song this morning - absolutely bluddy love it ...........
But I can't remember what it's called, who it's by or anything all I know are the following lyrics
<cough>
Testing testing 1 .... 2 .... 3 Testing :karaoke:
We're gonna use it up
and wear it out
There ain't nothing in this whole world I care about
1 2 3 shake your body down
1 2 3 shake your body down
1 2 3 and ........ Shake

Whadaya mean it sounds nothing like it!! :lol2:
Please can someone help, I neeeeeeeed that song ..... if for nothing else than to get me off them lyrics that have been in my head since 8 o'clock this morning :shock: Haven't been able to walk down the corridor at work without rolling my hands over each other in true 'Koom Ba Yah' fashion, before holding one elbow and twirling the other hand round which is pointing at the ceiling ...... you get the gist - had to start making my way to the loo 10 minutes before I wanted to go :shock:
So please help biggrin

Thank you Vix kiss

didn't think it would be that simple :lol2: serves me right for liking music of the more simple nature lol
Are you sure it's not called something else, maybe something more vague and arty ..... at least it would then give me some dignity back :lol2:

I remember that song too, but didnt know who it was by. I tell you what ive been hooked on singing for months, after I saw SJP singing it on Sex and the City, and its called, Jeremiah was a bullfrog, very catchy!
Jeremiah was a bullfrog
He was a good friend of mine
I didnt understand a single word he said
But i helped him drink his wine!
Chorus (all together now)
Joy, to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me!
Such a happy upbeat song biggrin

10 Aug 2004

What about this one..........same year (1980)
Detroit Spinners - Working my way back to you.
I'll be working my way back to you babe
With a burning love inside
Yeah I'm working my way back to you babe
And the happiness that died
I let it get away
Been paying every day (This bit was sung in a deep voice if I recall correctly)
When you were so in love with me
I played around like I was free
Thought I could have my cake and eat it too
How I cried over losing you
See I'm tired and I
I ain't about to go living my life without you
Hey, every day I made you cry
I'm begging girl 'till the day I die
etc etc etc
Love
Wilma
