I have known this song for years, but never knew the name or the singer, I would just hear it occasionally and try and find out what it was, the last time I heard it was Tuesday in Safeway and today I finally managed to work out the name of it. I kind of thought it was Elton for some reason at first, but oh boy this song has been driving me crazy. And with the main refrain being "wo oh oh oh, oh-oh-oh ohh" it has been had to trace, combined with not really understanding that he was singing "lido".

 

I'm glad you found out. Such a great song.

 

Ironically, I have had that album in my hands on numerous occasions in thrift stores over the last four years, even almost bought it a couple of times due to being interested in his original version of "We're All Alone". Well, next time I see it...

 

OP, check out Sloan's disography.

The Real Kids - All Kindsa Girls

 

One that is about 5 years old.

Do You Know The Way To San José - Burt B (sung by Dionne W). It's a dream of phrasing, melody and delayed meaning.
