Need Help Finding the Name of an Oldies Tune

[LS1FirehawkWS6]

I believe it's from the 50's... They play it at EVERY single car show I've ever been to that had a dj. Since I'm not an expert in this area, I can't be of any help. I can tell you it's not a slow song, it also has no real words for lyrics. Just a bunch of doo's and daa's.

Sorry I can't offer any more information. They played it at a Jack and Jill party I went to last night, now I can't get the damn song out of my head. Post some youtube links in this thread to songs that meet this criteria.

any lyrics, a line, verse..anything?!

Like I said before, there aren't any real words to the song. It's all male singers at least three of them. Sounds very doo-wop ish.


very close to this, but this has actual words in the song. It's about this tempo too, maybe a little faster.... I know I'm not offering much assistance, but I don't really know a whole lot about this genre of music.

Any help would be appreciated

Sorry sir, no matches. I ran the entire list through youtube (less the solo artists) and nothing. But thank you for the list. There were a few I haven't tried on there.

[FORD RECOVERY EXPERT]

That's a big list....

Damn...I thought I had it...

Well, good luck in your search.

[LS1FirehawkWS6]

The dj played Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, The Four Seasons, and that damn song "Sweet Caroline" ... so this song has to fit somewhere in this era. "Que Sera Sera" "That's Amore" ... the music definately wasn't gauged for the type of crowd we had.

[1fastcamarosss11]

well 10 mins it might be in there. many songs.


10 more mins.

[1fastcamarosss11]

if not maybe here.

[INMY01TA]

Elvis? Ask the gay guy who keeps posting pics of himself posing/singing. Seriously tho there's a forum where people ask questions about old songs and they'll figure out the song for you. I used it in the past.

LoL, I'll be goin' down to the Elks Club Cruise Night every wednesday, threatening the DJ with bodily harm.

All guys as far as I can tell.. but some of these boys can hit some high friggin' notes.


You guys are all on the right track which is good. That means I didn't do too horrible of a job explaining this.

What is the lodge number? maybe you can find the dj's name and get the play list

[LS1FirehawkWS6]

The song in question was actually played at a Jack and Jill at a local restaurant's banquet hall. I just know the Elks have a DJ at their antique car show every wednesday night and they play this type of music.

I have no idea who this DJ was. What I found weird is he actually sang some of the tunes.

I may be able to find out by asking the groom to be who they hired and get his playlist that way... thanks for the suggestion.
