I am trying to find out what the title is of this song that's been running through my head lately.

It has the words "a", "an", "and", "the" and "love" in it and has chords and breaks and stuff. It was done by that group, you know, the one with the guy with the long hair?

It's on THE TIP OF MY TONGUE!!

Help.

I think I remember something like this, but it didn't include the word "love". However, it did have about 200 instances of "lurve", or something like that.

Most of the notes in the song were between A and G (inclusive) , and I think the lyrics had something to do with wanting or needing something, or perhaps liking something, I'm not exactly sure which.

The band had a drummer and a bass and lead guitarist, and maybe a few others.

I also think the song had some riffs and a "bridge". Some of the lyrics may have rhymed.

There was also some harmony in it, and a bit of melody.

The lead singer used a microphone.

The band was either from the Northern or Southern Hemisphere.

Tryst, did that one have love in it? Not sure if Jullie Andrews is a bloke with long hair.

It had some adjectives in it, as I recall.

Did the adjectives include "mad", "loony", "insane", or possibly "crazy", "nutty", or "round the bend"?

I have my own theory on why you're doing this coolup: I think my remarks about the clarinet did in fact upset you, thereby sending you on a heavy drinking binge (studiously avoiding all French wines) which might explain why you seem even more insane than usual today! Not that this isn't a good thing, mind you!

I have it. You're thinking of "I love the words "the, a and an"" by The Long-haired Guy Quartet. Oh hang on, though, they lived on the equator;

Well you've caught me out. They DID live on the equator, but the house was on an acre and did extend into both hemispheres. Wasn't that a great song, though?

Fantastic. One of my favourite songs about having feelings for the definite and indefinite articles.

I have this nailed down to one of two songs.

'All Along The Watchtower' not Bob Dylans, but the Jimi Hendrix version

or

'I Would Walk 500 Miles' by the Proclaimers

both songs contain adjectives....
