"Feel the Love (Oomachasaooma)" is a song by 10cc released as a second single from the album Windows in the Jungle in 1983. On several releases and editions the song is labeled as "Oomachasaooma (Feel the Love)".

Release and promotion[edit]

As the band's previous single, "24 Hours", was released only in UK, "Feel the Love (Oomachasaooma)" became the lead single in other territories. The song was promoted by a music video directed by Godley & Creme thus making the first partial reunion of the original band members since the split in 1976.[1]

The single peaked at #87 band's native UK charts, but fared much better in Europe becoming one of the 10cc's best singles in the Netherlands.
