    Default Can someone identify a song based on one sentence?

    Hello everyone!

    Hope someone can help me identify a song I heard on the radio sometime in the 90s, maybe early 2000s.

    It has stuck in my mind, I can’t shake it off, and I can’t identify the artist or the song.

    I really don’t have much to go except the chorus (or maybe it was a bridge). Just one sentence, repeated twice:

    It doesn’t mean a thing,
    it doesn’t mean a thing
    .

    Now, the voice was male, quite deep, it was a pop song, not hard, but not a ballad, was kind of grooving. The way the singer sang it was fluid and he lingered the “mean” in the sentence, sounded like:

    it doesn’t meeeeeean a thing,
    it doesn’t meeeeeeean
    a-thing
    ”.

    Then, if I remember correctly came a brass/horn(?) section, but very short. Not sure about this, could as well be a synth sounding like it…

    Maybe these clues just sound ridiculous, but I hope someone can identify this.

    Thanks, guys!

    Try "Things Aint Like They Used to Be" by The Black Keys
    Them that can, do; them that can't... memorize Artist and Title

    Hey, thanks for the reply, but that is not the one... The voice is deeper, kinda like the guy from Crash Test Dummies... and the song is more poppish... Thanks, though!
