okay, it was actually July 1st, and I think it was Capital Public Radio (Sacramento); definitely not my local UNR (Reno) NPR station. It was such an awesome, rollicking song, like rowdy 40s style but I am almost positive it is a modern song, because next they played some awesome Cracker. Really, I loved the whole program, but that song stuck out! I listened to it all through the mountains coming back to Nevada. It was awesome and I have to keep an ear out for local programs similar. *off to search the Northeast Cali NPR music programs* thanks for the tips, Chonies and Pearly!  I still want to know what it was!! |

I know! Me too! I wish I had that Shazam thing on my phone when I heard it, my husband uses that music identifier app all the time. Maybe I will download today. I've done all sorts of searches even since that post. No luck. I wonder if I was wrong, and it really was an old song...but still, you'd think it would pop up somewhere. Hmm...Maybe I need to go hit up my local used record store- they are like gods around here with their unlimited knowledge. If I figure it out, I'll be sure to post a link! |

celery dunk! I love that you tried to find it! It's not the one, but thank you so much- and the youtube link gave me a good idea to expand my search there. I MUST find it and bring back to you people here! |

That link just takes me to the main page of Youtube, but if it's Haley Bonar, then that was my guess. I saw her this weekend at sxsw and when she sang this song I thought of this thread, but it's definitely not rowdy.

I'm still looking! I must go check out the local used record store- the guys that work there love a good challenge- like the Greecies here! |

On Quantum Leap this morning there was a 1957ish song that I've heard a million times before but can't identify, in part because the lyrics are so generic. It's sung in a kind of slide-guitar sort of way, and goes something like this
"Oh baYYYYbeeee, I love you soooo! And all these peeeeeeeple, they just don't understand"
It's kind of vaguely surfish rockabilly, and reminds me of Sleepwalking by Santo and Johnny, and has a slowish beat, or at least compared to something like Dreamlover. I can't tell if it's a tenorish male voice or a female voice or possibly a duet. It's not Paul Anka's I Love You Baby, or Oo Wee Baby by anyone.
ETA: It's Love is Strange by Mickey and Sylvia. Apparently, if I'd been a better Dirty Dancing fan, I would have been able to identify it. Le sigh.

Excuse me for yelling, but.... I FOUND THE SONG!! It is a little duo (contemporary) named Truckstop Honeymoon. Apparently, this song is only from the last decade- so not quite as old as I thought.  Oh, and it is called Me and My Bad Attitude. I love her voice- she sounds so old fashioned to me. I'm quite relieved that I solved this year-long mystery. |
