This Could Be An Impossible Question To Answer. Earworm!

[barry1010]

I have had an earworm for over a week but cannot identify the song as I don't know the words. Maybe there is a psychic music guru who can help.

It is the sort of song often sung by a gospel choir a capella and so is uplifting and jaunty.
The first word is 'sometimes' and that is the only word I can remember. Not much to go on, I know. The chorus seems to be 'oh wo oh wo oh wo oh wo oh, oh wo oh wo oh wo oh oh'.

So, can you name that tune?

[woofgang]

The only one I know is "sometimes I feel like a mother less child" but its not jaunty

[barry1010]

Thanks for answering, woofgang, but that is definitely not it.

Could it be this sang Godprl style?

*gospel*

[barry1010]

Thanks, Bobbi, but sadly not. Good to hear that again, though :)

I love 80s stuff Barry

Starts with "sometimes" but no "wo oh wo oh"
You Got The Love by Candi Staton or Florence and the Machine

[barry1010]

Nope, FF. Thanks, though

[fiction-factory]

Ah, well. Just noticed the Florence &Machine does throw in lots of Woh ohs, as well.

[barry1010]

Not Lean on Me. This is a happy, clappy song with quite a fast rhythm

Ladysmith Black Mambazo specialise in acapella and many of their songs are spiritually uplifting. Might it have been one of their numbers?

[barry1010]

More LBM than Amy :) I'll have a trawl through the Ladysmith archives, Ken

Ain't Nobody by Chaka Khan is popular with choirs. Plenty of woah woah woahs but no 'sometimes' though.

I love listening to LadySmith
