Can you identify this odd, obscure late 60's tune?

[StClone]

I heard an original song briefly on the radio that I recall from late 60's (1967-'69?). I could not locate the song title, artist nor label but the odd lyrics starts with a non sense catch phrase sang in harmony followed by a "I love you" male response...thusly

"Scoob, scoob...scoob, scoob a-woobo-checko....means I love you!"

I want to use it in another program.

Out on a limb here any takers?

[Mr.Green93]

1. La la ....means I love you!" ?

[StClone]

6. It isn't Mo-Town, its a white singer.

I know "La La...I love you" very well, thanks though.

[justa]

2. could you mean...

"Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab,"
Means "Monk, I love but you."
"Baba, daba, dab," in monkey talk
Means "Chimp, I love you, too."


From Aba Daba Honeymoon Written in 1914 by Arthur Fields and Walter Donovon.

21. Walter Donovan!

Weird coincidence. I located the song thanks to bigmonkey and the singers name is Donovan. Weird!

3. Eep Op Ork Ah Ah That means I love you

Jet Screamer (Baby baby baby baby!)
Eep Op Ork Ah Ah

[Richardo]

5. Kudos, meeg...

...you got it on first while I was Googling a pic of Jet Screamer :eyes:

[StClone]

7. Sorry no, I know that one very well....thanks emo

[Richardo]

4. Not the Jet Screamer song...

"Eep Op Ork Ah-Ah (and that means I love you)"?

(God I know too much about the Jetsons)

[StClone]

8. Sorry no...this must be a no hit wonder!

I know that song.

[Debi]

9. Skidamarinkadinkadink

Skidamarinkadoo - I love you...

I love you in the morning and in the afternoon

I love you in the evening and underneath the moon

Some children's group (maybe baby beluga?)

12. Pop Eye sang that !

The first "scoobs" come rapidly followed by a "suave" sounding male "I love you."

[Sweet Freedom]

10. Was it Melody of Love?

Oh, oh moja droga jacie kocham
Means that I love you so
Moja droga jacie kocham
More than you'll ever know
Kocham ciebie calem serce
Love you with all my heart
Return to me and always be
My melody of love

:shrug:

[StClone]

13. I think that's Polish!

And sadly not the song.

[Sweet Freedom]

14. Yep, it's Polish

Sorry it's not what you were looking for.

15. It was a Donovan song, from 1969

I actually liked it pretty well when it came out.

Some web-retrieved info:

Donovan Leitch - Barabajagal
Album - Barabajagal Date: 08/11/1969

She came, she came to meet a man, she found an angel.
Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was his name now,
Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was his name now,
Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was his name now.
He very wise in the herbal lore 's got young cure now.
She came, she came to free the pain with his wild flower.
Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was his name now,
Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was his name now.
Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was his name now,
Goo goo, goo goo Barabajagal was his name now.
Fine fine, fine fine Acelandine be prepared for her.
Tea tea, tea tea to make her free while incense burned.
In love pool eyes float feathers after the struggle.
The hopes burst and shot joy all through the mind
Sorrow more distant than a star.
Multi colour run down over your body,
Then the liquid passing all into all
Love is hot truth is molten.
True true, true true the song he sang her while the leaves cooked
Ting ting, ting little bell he rang her, sleepily she looked.
He filled, he filled a leather cup, holding her gaze
She took, she took a little sip while this song he sang:

17. Huzzah!

Carrying stuff from one time period to another to solve problems is what I enjoy the most. Very cool.

I know Donovan was considered a lightweight, and Dylan made mean fun of him in "Don't look back", but I often think there might be some reason to re-check out his stuff. This is one of the snippets I remember that makes me think that.

[StClone]

19. I am going to see if I can get if on e-bay or else where!

Keep those memories: they can add to the fun when the now is dragging.

Thanks again.
