Be Excellent To Each Other

I used to hear this often on Radio 2 years ago. I suspect the song is from the 80s, it is a sort of mid-tempo generic mild rock style number (dire-straits esque) and the only bit I can really describe is that it has a really distinctive stuttering part immediately before the chorus where the singer goes "aye-aye-aye-aye-aye-aye-aye-aye" (definitely 8 very quick beats) and the whole thing sounds like the record is skipping.

I know this is little to go on, but I'm hoping someone will put my mind at rest. The stuttering part is very distinctive for a song from the late 70s or 80s. The chorus immediately starts out of the stuttering part and the change seems fairly jarring.

Help? :x

Edit - It's Movin' Out by Billy Joel

Gareth Gates?

use shazam .. dial 2580 on your phone when the song is on... it then texts you the song.

Video killed the radio star by the buggles.

Isn't there a Billy Joel song like that? (Not buggles)

I don't know what your song is, but it's conjured hideous images of some bloke singing on TotP with that song that went "I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I... luur-urrve you!" and repeated it a load. The bastard.

Can't think of anything other than tat hideous Ashley Simpson song 'Outta my head'

Tubthumping - chumbawumba

Is it that flaming lips song, All your powers?

katrina and the Waves - walking on sunshine

I owe you eight million pounds*

I put "billy joel stutter" into google and I found it in a list of songs with stuttering parts.

That would be the not-from-the-80s song entitled (helpfully) "The Yeah Yeah Song"

I was humming that the other day.

Ooooh, I like that one! Second only to my all-time fave 'We didn't start the fire'

The song clearly starts iiiiiiiiiiiiiii. not yeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeah. I couldn't be bothered to make it to the chorus, I got bored.

I'ev hidden some things in teh forum for you, Shin.

Is it Ghostbusters 2?

We're only making plans for Nirejhenge.

Is it "Movin' Out"? That's a great song, and I now have it stuck in my head.

I'm a big Billy Joel fan.

Ditto.

Miami 2017 is his bestest ever track.

Clearly 'Pressure' is his bestest, closely followed by 'Angry Young Man'.

I'd like Mr Joel to update 'We didn't start the fire'. When I studied the Cold War at university I tended to rely on it in order to get certain events chronologically correct.

My god this place is middle aged, isn't it?

Shut up, I'm busy swinging my pants.

Go for it dude!

They may be an alien concept to a grubby Northerner such as yourself, but baths are entirely awesome.

I shower* rather than lie for prolonged periods in my own dead skin and bell cheese.



*Whippet piss

It's harder to read in the shower

Northerners don't read, silly.

Trufax, there. All of their newspapers are just pictures of burgers.

Your Mams furburger

Only in the broadsheets.

They're the only ones wide enough.

Thanks for explaining the joke for the hard of thinking Northerner, Grim.... Say thankyou, Zardoz.

Thankyou Zardoz.

I was lip reading anyway.

Eh?!
