What Is This Song Called?

[tk_audio]

all i know is the very first part of the lyrics "you keep telling me i can fly but i cant find my wings nowhere"

[KingOfTheSlums]

Its "who put the bomp in the bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp" by showaddywaddy

[begoodbebad]

If this is true you should both now feel suitably embarassed a) for wanting to know and b) for knowing anything by showaddywaddy, the nadir of 1970's British pop music.

[tk_audio]

this is a new song its called carry me but i have no idea the name of the artist

[crackerjacker]

well who da hell are you to tell someone they should be embarassed on what they listen to, or what someone else knows?

everyone listens to whatever they want, so u surely out of line with this statement.

Crackerjacker don't fucking lecture me. If you knew this band (obviously you don't) you would appreciate the comment. It isn't a question of liking them or not, they have a certain status and notoriety in UK for anyone * a n y o n e * over 30. Nobody would expect to admit to owning their records or liking them without being laughed at and laughed with. So as you plainly have zero knowledge in this matter kindly keep your dumb ignorance to yourself and quit telling me how to post.

Showaddywaddy Lyrics
Who Put The Bomp (In The Bomp-A-Bomp-A-Bomp)
(Mann/Goffin) - Showaddywaddy 1982
I'd like to find the guy who wrote the song,
That made my baby fall in love with me.

Who put the bomp in the bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp?
Who put the ram in the ram-a-lam-a-ding-dong?
Who put the bop in the bop sh-bop sh-bop?
Who put the dip in the dip da dip da dip?
Who was that man? I'd like to shake his hand,
He made my baby fall in love with me.

When my baby heard,
Bomp, ba-ba-bomp ba bomp ba bomp bomp,
Every word went right into her heart,
And when she heard them singing,
Ram-a-lam-a-lam-a-lam-a-lam-a ding dong,
She said we'd never have to part.

Well,
Who put the bomp in the bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp?
Who put the ram in the ram-a-lam-a-ding-dong?
Who put the bop in the bop sh-bop sh-bop?
Who put the dip in the dip da dip da dip?
Who was that man? I'd like to shake his hand,
He made my baby fall in love with me.

Each time that we're alone,
Boogity boogity boogity boogity boogity boogity shoo,
Set my babies heart all a-glow,
And every time we dance,
Dip da dip da dip dip da dip da dip,
She always says she loves me so.

Well.
Who put the bomp in the bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp?
Who put the ram in the ram-a-lam-a-ding-dong?
Who put the bop in the bop sh-bop sh-bop?
Who put the dip in the dip da dip da dip?
Who was that man? I'd like to shake his hand,
He made my baby fall in love with me.

(spoken)
Yeah! Bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp my heart aches,
Ram-a-lam-a-ding dong for ever,
When I say dip da dip da dip da dip,
You know what I mean,
From the bottom of my boogity boogity shoes.

Who was that man,
I'd like to shake his hand,
He made my baby fall in love with me,
Who put the bomp in the bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp?
Who put the ram in the ram-a-lam-a-ding-dong?
Who put the bop in the bop sh-bop sh-bop?
Who put the dip in the dip da dip da dip?


A new 2-CD Showaddywaddy compilation was released on 22nd March 2004

kiwibank.....laugh or scream laugh or scream laugh or scream....aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh

What did the world do to deserve this?

Who put the ram in the ram-a-lam-a-ding-dong?
I once used the name ramalamadingdong as an email address for subcscribing to dubious sites who might be collecting adresses. At the time it seemed merely amusing and I couldn't think where I got the name from but now I realise I was being subliminally controlled by musical satans in brothel creepers and bad suits.....just by watching Top of the Pops every Thursday as a child my mind had been turned.

[begoodbebad]

And another thing: Showaddywaddy were never as good as Darts. Never. dook dook dook dook of url dook dook...dook of uuuuuurl. Now they were a band....

[Redneck4sure]

Y'all do realize that it was a hit in 1961 by Barry Mann first? Yes I know I should be ashamed to admit that a: I am that old and b: that I remember Barry Mann

[kiwibank]

yes begoobebad, i`d have to agree that the duke of earl hook is very cool...i`m impressed with your tolerance...more zeropaid people should follow your fine example....

Youre a very stupid person, a very stupid person, Youre a conformist. (This is no way a flame, its the obvious truth)

Your remarks are disgusting, pathetic. Its too bad you cant see how angered I am that someone has the nerve to laugh at someone because they listen to a certain band.

Are you going to laugh at me because i listen to Eiffel 65? or how about ATB? Will you and your conformist (Communist) buddies get a kick out of that? What if i listened to the band in question as well?

Look, if you have commie comments like that, move to china, and stop posting here, that way you can even shoot people who choose to be different then you.

P.S, man, I dont watch porn, and i HATE the new "rap", but I have never once made fun of people, or told someone i make fun of so and so because they listen to/watch it. Its thier perrsonal musical taste, nothing wrong with that.

Its thier perrsonal musical taste, nothing wrong with that.It was a joke you dumbass. Jesus. you live several thousands of miles from where people know about this stuff and you have totally 100% missed the point because you don't have the cultural references to know anything about the bands, the music ,the culture, the way they are or were a kind of national institution here and strongly symbolise a very particular time for a lot over 30 people in UK (and apparently NZ....we only export the best music for you guys cos we love you *cough*)) and are also a kind of affectionately remembered piece of kitsch culture from our youth. So take your pompous attitudes and stick'em where the sun don;'t shine. I'm not a communist or even a socilaist so what the fucking fuck are you fucking talking about? Go away and take your meds. I don't care anything about what you listen to but I hope you like it, now fuck off, take your ill informed pedantery with you and let us anglo's share a joke without some knownothing dickhead butting in every 5 minutes having totally misunderstood both the meaning and the context of every single word written so far. thankyou.

I feel much better now that I know my subconscious had been infiltrated by Barry Manilow and not Showaddywaddy. No, really I do:bling .

And thankyou very much for not lecturing me. :;)

I got the damn reference and I have never been anywhere near the U.K so you see folks like goodandbad says....F*cking relax

[moneoa]

In a way its kinda funny how up in arms people get when there is a miscommunication.

Oh and Duke of Earl is allright, Heres classics from NAmerica, Double Dutch bus and Rappers Delight. I have RD as a ringtone on my phone *hangs head and hopes nobody notices this post* but it is a cool ringtone

[begoodbebad]

I got the damn reference and I have never been anywhere near the U.K so you see folks like goodandbad says....F*cking relax
ok im relaxed now have been doing deep breathing exercise: big inhale and then combine it with swear words on the exhale...works great.

@tk audio....sorry about your thread ! :hi

I googled these lyrics in every combination, edit, and misspelling I could think of and got nothing....but now I'm obsessed with it and I never even heard the song.....oh no whats happening to me....madness and persecution have made me what I am......er excuse me...

there, several deep breaths (shit, bastard, arse) later...I am going to find out what this song is...I will never be defeated and even when defeated (which never happens) I wouldn't admit defeat...so there's half a chance of finding out anyway

later

[moneoa]

:aim lol see dude, all you did was make a joke and all this side stuff results....is this cause and effect?
Or is this North Americans needing to chill out...its all good man. like I said I got you. So we are not that hopeless over here

:aim lol see dude, all you did was make a joke and all this side stuff results....is this cause and effect?
Or is this North Americans needing to chill out...its all good man. like I said I got you. So we are not that hopeless over here
lol yeah it is funny really.............. I think they call it a cultural phenomenon....we are very familiar with US culture and life (or at least certain presentations of it) through constant exposure in every available media at almost all times...that isn't a complaint btw because if the movies, music, clothes, tv, language etc weren't good we wouldn't be interested..we like it! .and we'd have to learn to speak French or German properly (I don't think so!) but it definitely doesn't work to the same extent the other way. It seems USA is big and dynamic enough that you ]can culturally be self contained. I have a number of experiences on ZP of being totally misunderstood because despite using the same language a lot of the Americans here don't get the references or see the subtext/context or the humour which would be very obvious to a Brit or anyone from Oz or NZ...and of course why should they get it...it's in English but it is still very foreign. Some people do of course, which is a relief! ......and also there are a few people who are so dumb you wonder how they remember to breathe but you get them everywhere right? I have even had entire threads deleted because they didn't spot it wasn't serious...It is slightly worrying when you post a deeply sarcastic new thread and start getting earnest and concerned replies and then find the whole thing has mysteriously vanished.

Anyway I thoroughly enjoyed myself, it was fun.:cross

[begoodbebad]

That post didnt seem like a joke.
It wasn't but you are.

No! You misunderstood. I did not say Barry Manilow. I said Barry Mann. One hit wonder pretty much and that was his hit in 1961. I said I was old! :heart

anyhoot let me get straight to the point first of all I understand that you may not like the group or whatever but so what. that doesnt give you the right to make fun of other people.

I dont have to appreciate your opinion or whatever and the fact remains its my choice to listen to what i want. you have the right to say what you want, but you know what so do I.

NO your ignorant and I will say what i want.
btw just so you know i dont care what country you are from or if you hate any song, but you have no right to say what people should listen to.
i could curse you out but it doesnt suit me today because your the ignorant one, because you only care about whether or not the music sounds good to you, god forbid someone else likes it. so if they dont agree with you you flame them and trash them for your own self worth.

you are not worth the time to curse at.
and i dont care for your ignorant ways.
so kindly take this cup of stfu i am offereing, hell i throw in two more cups as well and its all free to you.
cheers
*loser*

[moneoa]

Hey all I want someone to do is listen to double dutch bus...lol I love funk..dunno why but that shite gets me movin

[begoodbebad]

wow tell me how you really feel !
anyhoot let me get straight to the point first of all I understand that you may not like the group or whatever but so what. that doesnt give you the right to make fun of other people.

it was a joke dumbass! (a sense of deja vu just came over me....and not for the first time)

thats not the same as laughing at someone

or if you hate any song, but you have no right to say what people should listen to.
i could curse you out but it doesnt suit me today because your the ignorant one, because you only care about whether or not the music sounds good to you, god forbid someone else likes it. so if they dont agree with you you flame them and trash them for your own self worth.
and it was not a piece of musical criticism it was a joke (did I mention that already?) No one got flamed until you came along with your single figure IQ and got the wrong end of the stick. Go back to the daycare centre, ask them to reverse the sense of humour bypass, get them to refund your money and get yourself a brain upgrade, or maybe just a big electric shock and some happy pills.

NO your ignorant My ignorant what?

you are not worth the time to curse at.
and i dont care for your ignorant ways.
so kindly take this cup of stfu i am.......
Excuse me Einstein...if you're going to tell me I'm not worth the time to curse at don't do it in the next sentence...it makes you look extremely stoooopiddd and provides me with the ammunition for the next cheap shot. This is about as difficult as hunting sheep with a high powered rifle and a scope....but fun all the same.

also it was nothing to do with you anyway, who do you think you are, the guardian of the nation's morals?

[begoodbebad]

No! You misunderstood. I did not say Barry Manilow. I said Barry Mann. One hit kind wonder pretty much and that was his hit in 1961. I said I was old! :heartYou're right....you're old!* I think my mum might have liked him...or maybe I saw one of his '78s in my grandmothers collection**...or maybe it was on an 8 track cartridge...there's something about that name that is just at the very furthest edge of my mind(not that far away actually)...do think I can get it on ed2k?

p.s. thanks for the correction....I think I become mildly dyslexic when under attack!***







*Humorous remark. Humour: pertaining to laughter, amusement and a sense of wellbeing.
No outraged intervention required by intellectually challenged 3rd parties, thankyou.
**OMG could this be another one? Like what's a 78 man...I wasn't even born in 78
*** Hmm...could be true dude, hard to tell.

Behave or ill have to resort in violence, name calling and getting seph on you!!

[moneoa]

who do you think you are, the guardian of the nation's morals?
No buddy havent you heard since 2000?
Thats George Bush! *gets on kneees to venerate him before peeing in his coffee*
George is the moral compass that keeps the world straight...Go ask that guy *points into non exsistance* His house was blown up by a cruise missle while he was farming carrots

[Siskabush]

It wasn't but you are.
Nice comeback. Thanks for reinforcing my point.

You were serious, people like me crushed your opinion, made you look like the ignorant conformist asshole you are, and once again, youre conforming to us.

[tk_audio]

all this when i asked a simple question

yeah sheeshkebab everything you say is pregnant with insight...please carry on if it pleases you .....all the other totally meaningless psychobabble that you can think of...spew it all out...let's see just how much of this bankrupt teenage dimwit cod psychology you keep in that empty space (the one with an ear each side, not the one in your pants).

meanwhile we still don't know what the song is called...only that the record got stuck.....stuck...stuck....stuck....stuck....stuck ....stuck...stuck...stuck...stuck

@shawners:;) yeah! where did that guy go to? he would have had this deleted b4 hours ago and a at least 3 temp bans under his belt by now....kind of miss him already....but you know what they say? Make hay while the sun shines.

[begoodbebad]

all this when i asked a simple question
tk I'm sorry. I just made a simple joke and I hope you weren't offended, no offence of any kind was intended, but somehow I have the mad hypocrites of the self appointed morality police force on my case....these guys are amazing .....anyway like I said I'll be looking out for this song and will pm you if I have any luck. I think I owe you one...:;)

on ZP tonight we can see, amongst others, a kiddie porn user and someone who has hacked ZP's news site taking issue with people over morals and manners...only on the www, it's why we love it...right? .....right?

[begoodbebad]

all i know is the very first part of the lyrics "you keep telling me i can fly but i cant find my wings nowhere"
I've used Copernic Agent to search with a range of methods and come up with...not very much. All I can say is copyright those lyrics now because the only place in the world they have been published, online at least, is in your post. Maybe if you can describe what type of music it was that might help. meanwhile here are the only 2 results that look possibly relevant:

Alice in Chains- Down in a Hole

Bury me softly in this womb
I give this part of me for you
Sand rains down and here I sit
Holding rare flowers in a tomb... in bloom
Down in a hole and I don't know if I can be saved
See my heart I decorate it like a grave
You don't understand who they thought I was supposed to be
Look at me now a man who won't let himself be
Down in a hole, feeling so small
Down in a hole, losin' my soul
I'd like to fly,
But my wings have been so denied
Down in a hole and they've put all the stones in their place
I've eaten the sun so my tongue has been burned of the taste
I have been guilty of kicking myself in the teeth
I will speak no more of my feelings beneath
Down in a hole, feeling so small
Down in a hole, losin' my soul
I'd like to fly,
But my wings have been so denied
Bury me softly in this womb (Oh I want to be inside of you)
I give this part of me for you (Oh I want to be inside of you)
Sand rains down and here I sit (Oh I want to be inside of you)
Holding rare flowers in a tomb... in bloom (Oh I want to be inside)
Down in a hole, feelin' so small
Down in a hole, losin' my soul
Down in a hole, feelin' so small
Down in a hole, out of control
I'd like to fly,
But my wings have been so denied

And: At Vance

Wings To Fly

Tears on your lips
As you're lying here in my arms
All is gone far away
And there won't be another day

You have made my life worthwhile
But you took me thru this endless trial
Girl, you have tought me how to see
But i've always throught there's only you and me

I thought you gave me
Your all and all
Cause you where the reason
That made my cry and fall

You gave me wings to fly
Now it's to late to say good bye
And i'll raise my hands
Begging that you will let this end

Why did you hurt me
Why did you throw away our love
Couldn't you stand me
Didn't give you more than enough
Couldn't you find the words
To tell me what was wrong
Now this is the price you pay
That you're nothing more than a shade

I thought you gave me
You're heart and soul
No one can save you now
And there goes out my call

You gave me wings to fly...

[tk_audio]

ok i work for a radio station and they play mostly pop and some rap and the song is on there computers and it says its Carry Me By Max Miller but its not right cant find anything on the net like that

[camoor]

begoodbebad, I wouldn't worry about the flaming, you can't even use a literary device like sarcasm because of the "holier-then-thou" politically correct types who just don't get the joke. They will jump on your head because they erroneously think that someone's feelings may be hurt, meanwhile all the fun gets lost in translation.

They're the same ppl who are jumping out of windows because a middle-aged black woman showed her right breast.

Meanwhile the rich Americans are paying less and less for the services that all citizens enjoy, and Bush is sending kids off to fight in a desert in a desparate bid to restore his father's fallen honor.

So I say joke away, and ignore all the haters. I got a laugh out of your good natured fun :)

[Siskabush]

Camoor, youre pretty blind arent you? That was no joke. if it was a joke, he would have said so after crackerjacker's first comment. But no, Bogoodbebad didnt, he kept going, trying to reinforce his point, until several others jumped in the fray and smashed his points to the ground.

He is just trying to cover his own ass so he can fit in.

:upside yeah i just woke up (it's nearly 5pm I'm ashamed to say)and thought the same but I spent quite some time last night/this morning listening to a lot of very bad mp3s called carry me and I still didn't find the right one.....I checked in to see if anyone did and I'm still getting flamed by Ronald Macdonald! I'm almost starting to respect him for his manic perserverance and utter disdain for reality.

I've now searched for Max Miller Carry Me but like tk says it isn't the right artist. All I really found out is that Carry Me is a fairly popular lyric and songtitle, particularly in christian music and with people who make bad music available for free download as mp3.

@tk audio : You got the song on the computers. Just copy it. Have a deeper look at the station logs and maybe you'll find the right title/artist. See if they'll play it on air and ask the listeners to phone in and name the song

[tk_audio]

hey guys i got a recording of the song not very good though
here it is http://tkaudio2k3.tripod.com/Sound.mp3

[riderx]

bump bump .............

[crackerjacker]

Well I am looking for a song it goes
boom boom boom
smack it up flip it up rub it down o no need a body bag
i forgot who its by anyone know?
