spockvarietyhour asked:

I have the beginning of a early 70s song in my head and I can't place it, maybe you can help me out. It begins with what sounds like Oweeoo-Oweeoo-Oweeoo Oweeoo-Oweeoo-Oweeoo A-HA, and then crescendos. that's all I remember except it's probably somewhere in the deep purple led zeppelin venn diagram. any ideas?

mudwerks answered:

I am not getting anything on this - but it’s a hard way to try and describe a song. 

maybe somebody out there in tumblrland will come up with it?…

    Oh right! The rock yodeling one with the scat in the middle.

    To be fair that was probably the most reasonable way to deacribe this song.
