"A Doobie Dough" Song[edit]

Can't seem to track down the title/artist of a song that's on the radio from time to time nowadays. It's a male vocalist, kind of bluesy and slow but that keeps a steady rhythm, and the song has line, repeated several times in the song, with a very high-pitched "Oh" or "Ooh" and then a lower-pitched "a-doobie (or dobie?) dough." I checked Google and the Reference Desk archives, but I might not have the scat lyrics close enough to find it. Ha. Thanks in advance for your help!

More details would help but Ms Grace? Just My Imagination? Britmax (talk) 07:02, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, yeah. It's a new song. First heard it about a year ago. "On the radio nowadays" = currently still on the "Top 40-like" radio stations. Thanks. - Kingsfold (Quack quack!) 11:46, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Turns out it's "Budapest" by George Ezra. I misinterpreted "I'd leave it all" for "A doobie dough." Ha! Case closed. Kingsfold (Quack quack!) 16:34, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

For years I heard "Daylight Katie come on" as "ditty bang ditty kabong"; that was after Gordon Lightfoot's voice started to go strange. —Tamfang (talk) 09:47, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think you'd both appreciate our Mondegreen page. RedLinkJ (talk) 14:32, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
