What's the name of this song?

[daveymark]

I was bartending at a class of '76 high school reunion, and this song was playing, all I remember is something along the lines of

"She looked at me like I was speaking chinese"' <----NOT part of the chorus

There was some kind of brass in the background, maybe a trumpet or trombone? <----part of the chorus

it sounds like it could be sung by the beatles, or their type of music anyway..? definitely 60's or 70's music

^ Might not be it

Why don't you hum it and record it and post it on a website?

 

[daveymark]

I agree with chuckywang

Or Cracker - "Ain't Gonna Suck Itself"

No hard feelings do you want one of these?
But she looks at me like I was speaking Chinese
The security man walks up he helps himself to one
Coincidently Chinese and hot from standing in the sun
Then he helps himself to another he puts it in her hand
But she looks at it like it was a piece of crap
Or a dead and dying bird she didn't understand
So I was just trying to be helpful when I said...

CHORUS:
Baby, it ain't gonna suck itself
Oh Virgin Records, it ain't gonna suck itself
(Brandy) I beg to differ cousin, it should be, it ain't gonna lick itself
I do believe you're right cousin: It ain't gonna lick itself


... but that's not 60s/70/s music.
