Largely instrumental tune; I think it's by The Police, but went through the whole Box Set and couldn't identify it.

Anyway, slow build-up, then a person (presumably The Sting) joins in:

Eee yo, eee yo, eee yo yo,
Eee yo, eee yo, eee yo yo,
Eee yo, eee yea, eee yea yo!
Eee yo, eee yea, eee yea yo!

Eventually it builds up:

Eee yo, eee yea, eee yea yo! Eee yea yo! Eee yea yo! Eee yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yeah!

I think the music slows and cuts about there. What's the dang song called? Good tune.

[For word sounds above: Eee rhymes with 'see'; yo rhymes with 'ho'; yea rhymes with 'hey'; yeah is 'yeah' as in She Loves You...]

It's the end of Every Little Thing She Does is Magic that has all the Eee Yo stuff....not sure I'd describe it exactly as you did above, though. (and can't believe I'm actually answering a "What's that song that goes da da da da dadadadum" kind of question )

Thanks, but it's not that one. This is about a 2 minute or longer snippet, and I think it's stand-alone (though it could be a loooong introduction a la Foreplay/Longtime, or the trailing end of some other song).


FWIW, ELTSDiM has Stink muttering about that DoIHaveToTellaStoryAbout1000RainyDaysSinceWeFirstMet crap, which he fits into about 8 different songs. Can he come up with no other illustrations of how women have done him wrong?

So the whole "punchline" of that tune is that it's his Birthday? I think that song disturbs me more than Be My Girl Sally.

Hey JJ,
Are you thinking of "Walking on the Moon", from the Synchronicity album....?
I haven't heard it in a long time, but it's that album that keeps coming to mind when I try all the various ways of singing Eee Yo, Eee Yo, yo, yo.... Ee Yo, eee yo, yo, yo.

That album has the songs Synchronicity I and Synchronicity II, one of which is a more experiemental ensemble thing.

OR are you talking about that newer-ish Hindi mix thing he's been doing?

It's not Walken on the Moon. It doesn't sound Hindi, and I sorta ruled out the new Stink because it actually sounds good.

For respective time to complete the lines, the first "Eee yo, eee yo, eee yo yo" takes about 4-5 seconds to get out. The ending "Eee yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yeah" takes the same amount of time for him to sing.

JJ, try Regatta de Blanc from the album of the same name, see if that's it....

Thanks so much. I must have missed this rummaging through the box set.

The rest of you should all go out and listen to it now as punishment.

Wow. The song won a Grammy in '81? Maybe you guys would have found it easier had I suggested that.
