Subject: re: Novelty song from the 60's
I remember hearing Shango's "Day After Day" when I was a kid. Does anyone have a notion of where I can buy the music or perhaps a recording of this song? I checked Amazon and someone's selling it for $119 --that's a bit too steep. I'd even settle for a guitar tab.

I've been trying for 30 years to find that out. Many thanks, musicat.
And thanks to the site creators. Great idea, it's already helped me.

Subject: Novelty song from the 60's
It was about The Big Earthquake hitting California. It had a calypso beat but I think it was an American band/performer. Snatches of lyrics that I remember:
"Better get ready to tie up de boat in Idaho."
"Do you know The Swim?
You better learn quick, Jim.
Those who don't know The Swim
Better sing de hymn."

How to insert music:
Add a bit of sheet music, along with a MIDI file, simply by entering note names in Lilypond syntax between the [L] and [/L] tags.
For example, you can try what happens if you enter: [l]g'4 g'4 d''4 d''4 e''4 e''4 d''2[/l] (use the Preview function if you don't actually want to post this).
You can create these lists of note names by clicking on piano keys here.
How to post an audio recording:
If you just want to sing, whistle, or play a melody so that other forum visitors can hear it, follow these steps:
- Record your audio here.
- You should notice a 32-character hash code, something like: 2a40281c5001c5a7d8c9f57fcdeccfaf
- copy this hash code and paste it into a forum post, enclosed in the audio tags, for example: [audio]2a40281c5001c5a7d8c9f57fcdeccfaf[/audio]
How to mark a thread as solved:
If the original question in a thread is solved, please mark it as solved using the "solved" icon (or by just typing [solved] into your post). This makes life easier for people who are willing to identify melodies, since unsolved problems are easier to spot that way. If a problem turns out to not be solved after all, just write [/solved] in a new post, and the thread will be labeled accordingly.
