I hope everyone is well and happy!
Say...I have an idea for a song medley that I'd like to do at gigs and parties, for fun, as a sing along, and I thought this would be the perfect place to enlist some help for song suggestions.
I want to compile a bunch of famous and easily recognizable rock/pop song SECTIONS that contain do's, la's and na's. So, in essence, this medley would have no words, just do's, la's, and na's.
Some examples would be:
Wild World-Cat Stevens (la, la-la, la..)
Walk On The Wild Side-Lou Reed (Do, Do-do...)
The more upbeat the song, the better. I want it to be fun for the audience.
If you can easily think of some, please reply...I'd like to throw this together quickly for an upcoming party I'm playing, and I'm racking my brain (and it's a real strain!). I know there are a ton of 'em!
If you can, please list the artist as well as the song.
Thanks in advance!
Have a great day! |

Full Disclosure: I greatly dislike Journey. More, even, than I dislike Michael McDonald for what he did to the Doobie Brothers. |

But you'll be sharing the contra side of the debate with my wife.
However, Michael McDonald must die a horrible death! |

I think we should open this up to include 'Yeah, yeah, yeah's' , 'hey, hey, hey's' as well, and possibly 'no, no, no's'...
Any ideas???
Thanks again! |

Bill Withers. Thanks,Cliff......I felt when I posted "Preston" that it just didn't "sound" right and I didn't search further to confirm.....
.....Oh well, I got Bill(y) right! :D
I guess that means - "And I don't know,I don't know,I don't know,I don't know,I don't know,I don't know,I don't know,I don't know,I don't know,I don't know,Ooooooooooooooooooooooo"
