there is this song i use to hear on classic rock radio that reminded me heavily of the stone's mother's little helper but i cant seem to find the song. it sounded like the early stones, kinks, animals kinda band. not saying it couldnt be from the 70's but it had that early rock and roll sound.

  • i didnt think this would be so hard, sorry guys. i figured a song that gets played on classic rock radio wouldnt be this hard. when i was younger you dont pay much attention and last time i heard it they didnt say who it was, or not in the time when i was listening to the radio then. i hate that.

    ?

    Is it well known or a bit obscure? I'm assuming obscure or you should know it, right? Not something like White Rabbit?
  • would we be insulting your intelligence if we started listing off Beatles songs?

    was it blatantly about drugs? or full of innuendos?

    wild guess here, but how about

    "incense and peppermints" by Strawberry alarm clock

    doesn't have a " mothers little helper" sound though really.

    Do you happen to know the era, like 60's 70's Psycodelic sounding or any more details? Is it a song played frequently like every day?

    Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood by The Animals??
  • 99% sure it isnt the beatles. i checked everything on the yahoo site. not getting any closer, bummer. it shouldnt be an obscure tune since it gets radio play, and like mother's little helper its very blatantly about drugs, i wish i could recall which one, but than id probably have some lyrics to work with. white rabbit is the closest but its not a females voice.

    Everybody Must Get Stoned ~ Bob Dylan??? ;) or maybe Brown Sugar ~ The Stones

    Feel Good Hit of the Summer is all about drugs.

    8-) great song.

    what part of the song sounds like the mothers little helper? Is it the guitar part, vocal melody, rythm? Anything you can add in helps, i've been trying to think of this since this was posted.

    the early rock n roll vibe. that very hard strumming sound. like i said the whole kinks, animals, stones sound from way back then. just the straight forward drum beat. ive check what i saw as singles from those bands. if i didnt know better id swear it was the kinks...but i cant find a kinks song that matches the subject matter.
  • how bout, Cream - White Room
