My son is 23 months old and loves this song. We heard it on a rock radio station but they do not play it very often. I don't know many of the words but it is a man singing " ah boom, boom, boom, boom, ah bang bang bang bang". I do not believe it is John Lee Hooker. He says "Boom boom boom boom, ah ha ha ha" and I believe it is newer than his. I have also heard the song on a tv commercial. thanks

Post a sound recording of you singing it. We might guess what it is.

Could this be it?

Do Your Thing by Basement Jaxx

I just Googled the "lyrics" and that's what I got.
"Everything's so clear to me now: I'm the keeper of the cheese and you're the lemon merchant. Get it? And he knows it.
That's why he's gonna kill us. So we got to beat it. Yeah. Before he let's loose the marmosets on us."

Might possibly be Bang and Blame by REM if it's not the one RAILhead posted. “Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang and blame, blame, blame”? Closest thing I can think of...

Perhaps "Boom! Boom!" by John Lee Hooker?

[edit] Just re-read your original post; I'm an idiot. [/edit]

No, no, juggle, that is fine. Actually that is almost it. The song I am thinking of is like a remake of his song.

It's called "Boom Boom" by Big Head Todd & the Monsters. You can find it on their "Beautiful Wold" album.

Link to the album

I bought the song from iTunes for a buck.


It was originally written/performed by John Lee Hooker.

That's the one I was thinking of but didn't know who did it, either!

But let's see if this is what the OP was talking about.

I think you nailed it, smcavoy.

Try COQ ROQ the next time the song is on. You call (888) 767-7268 from your cell phone, then when prompted to hold the up to the speaker for 15 seconds. You'll then get a text message back with the artist and song names. It works surprisingly well; the first three correct determinations are free.

Why does this thread remind me of that episode of "Married with Children" when Al wanted to know the name of the song and all he had to go by was "Hmmm Hmmm him..."?

That is very funny!

I'll be Unca Mojo as long as there's no obligatory b-day or xmas presents.
