Sorry - no useful information here. But your description of the Barry McGuire - Los Bravos combo is quite exciting, and already has me singing possible versions. I also wait with bated breath until a Massive Member - Oooo-err, Missus - identifies it. Those choppy pop'n'roll lines - no doubt underlined by a stabbing Hammond (Missus!)- have real power.

I think it's Smoke On The Water by a band called Deep Purple. Although I'm not 100% certain.

perhaps?

I was googling certain phrases to see if they came up on lyric websites.

The phrase "Baby don't you know, don't you know" pointed to In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida"

Thanks to the magic of the interweb I am now listening to a version of a song that is, well, just fabaroony!

Put the application on your mobile phone, press the button while the tune is playing, and it is likely to identify it for you

Or you could try sending a message to the nice people of the BBC Radio 2 show "Sounds Of The Sixties". If they don't know, their listeners will.

Unfortunately I've no idea. Searching for the lyrics draws a blank.

You could try uploading a short clip of the song in question which may help identify the artist.

Recorded on my phone, then bluetoothed to my computer and converted. So to say that it sounds a bit tinny is an understatement:

If that doesn't work, try this:

The backing vocals scream Memphis or Muscle Shoals to me, in particular The Sweet Inspirations. I don't recognise the vocalist.

The song itself is probably a Northern Soul rarity, so tracking it down could prove a bit tricky.

Tells me its;

Wayne Fontana and The Mindbenders with "Come On Home"

And it's on iTunes. Thanks to all you lovely people.

PS - I'm very pleased that my guess was accurate. It's from 1966.
