Help me with some song lyrics
I know I'm not hearing the words right. Bad thing here, I don't know the name of the group nor the title. You're gonna have to think this one.
The clue: there is an alto sax that plays the main melody just in front of the lyrics that mimic the sound. The sax goes in staccato, da da d-e-e (longer note) do do. The words sound like da da feegaro. I'm lost. It seems like every time I go into the HD I hear this on the store sound system. BTW, looking this up I found that a mondegreen /ˈmɒndɪɡriːn/ is a mishearing or misinterpretation of a phrase as a result of near-homophony, in a way that gives it a new meaning. Except I sometimes hear nonsense. Gotta go listen to some Dylan. |

You said you were going to listen to Dylan to throw us off the trail.

More info: if you're going to try and sound out the sax riff, you need to hear the notes which I didn't try to explain and I'm not capable of writing music. But to me it would be, C,C--E-- D,C with the emphasis on the E.

Springsteen and Foreigner would be too obvious and names you'd remember if not voices you'd recognize so I'm counting them out.
Any idea about how old the tune is?

From a You tube search on HD muzak...
"What started out as an encounter of me hearing their hauntingly beautiful songs over the speaker system has blossomed into an unforgettable start to a relationship with them. I'm hooked on this duo and their music. I've pledged to myself that as long as they appear here in Los Angeles (their hometown), I will be at every show, and I always stick around to say hello. Inara George and Greg Kurstin (The Bird and The Bee) are VERY nice and friendly." Here are all the artists and tunes I've heard and looked up because of The Home Depot and the Muzack service: The Bird and The Bee - "Again and Again" & "La La La" Beth Rowley - "So Sublime" Amp Fiddler - "Right Where You Are" Ashley Tisdale - "Too Many Walls" Duffy - "Stepping Stone"

But no teddy bear yet.  Another clue and I'm not leading anyone on here, IDK the song. The lead singer seems male and has a tenor or even alto voice. How old? Well, 80's to 90's I'd guess. Last edited by Zeke; 12-18-2018 at 10:45 AM.. |

OK, I see what you're thinking. I only referenced Dylan because of the many obscure lyrics. I didn't mean to suggest that some Dylan would trigger my or your mind. My bad there.
