Music Question

[Fidgits]

Okay... heres a q...

I know all about Shazam etc - being able to get the name of songs through your mobile, there are a ton of sites that do lyric searches...

BUT...

I remember a song from the 80's, I think it was adam ant, and im certain the chorus was the word 'Amadao' (or something) repeated over...

so... anyone got any wonderful ideas how i could find out what this song was?

[Adie]

Not Amadeus ( Probably wrong spelling)???????

That Amadao you're referring to is Amadeus. I know the song you're on about, but can't remember if Amadeus is the exact name of the title. It wasn't part of the "Prince Charming" song was it ?

I'll keep repeating it in my head and let you know if I get any other ideas.

[Bazza]

He was the first punk ever to set foot on this earth.

He was a genius from the day of his birth.

He could play the piano like a ring and a bell

And ev'rybody screamed:

Come on, rock me Amadeus.

He was a superstar, he was dynamite and whatever he did (it)

Seemed to be alright.

And he drank (and) he cursed and he fooled around

But when the women would shout:

Rock me Amadeus,

Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus,

Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus,

Oh oh oh Amadeus.

With a bottle of wine in one hand and a woman in the other

'Cause he was a ladies man

He never stopped to worry what the next day would bring

Because the girls would sing:

Rock me Amadeus,

etc...

His mind was on rock and roll and having fun

Because he lived so fast he had to die so young.

But he made his mark in history.

Still ev'rybody says:

Rock me Amadeus

[Bazza]
