Name That Song

[Amie]

I've been going crazy trying to recall 1) the song title and 2) the artist. All I can remember are some lyrics. I *do* know that it's and "oldies" song, like from the early 70s, I think. It goes something like this:

"I wanna hear some funky Dixieland
pretty mama come and take me by the hand
by the hand, hand, take me by the hand
dance with your daddy all night..."

Can anyone tell me the song title and the artist? Thanks!

Actually, that's what I came up with too. I went to a Web site that allowed me to sample a snippet of "Black Water" by the Doobie Brothers (as the link implies), but it's the wrong song. Similar lyrics, though.

Anyone else?

As far as I know, that's the only song that I've ever heard with those lyrics. Was it a remake of the Doobie Brothers song? Another song entirely? Have you tried looking in the iTunes Music Store for a sample? I'm there now searching....

Is this for real? I clicked on the link and when I read what it was, I thought it was a joke. I figured I'd do it, though, just for amusement, just to see if it would really work. It doesn't. I tapped out three or four different songs and it didn't find any of them. Fun concept, though.

Yeah, it takes some practice, but it does work. Make sure that you read the directions completely; it's not just tap on the beat, but on the syllables. I taped "Jingle Bells", and it had it listed (along with a few other songs..)

I suspect that the song is question is a cover song of the Doobie Brothers hit: Black Water (or maybe the Doobie Brothers did it as a cover themselves).

See the attached screenshots. They may help you find the right song.
