aaahhwooo song desperation

April 27, 2008 6:01 PM

I am desperate to find the title of a song I know little about. Could someone please take a minute of their day/evening to help me identify this song? It would be greatly appreciated.

I am going to take a stab at describing all I know about this song. It may come from a 'alternative' band mid 90's to mid 00's. At different points in the song the vocals will be 'aaaahhhwhoooo.... only on the inside'. The problem is I am not sure of the 'only on the inside' part. Just the 'aaaaahwwooo' part. At the end of the song is a bit of some screaming akin to the lead singer of Filter. Also, the song is a bit slow, semi-balladish. I know this is somewhat goofy, but I have wracked my head for weeks. Thanks.

The "aaaahhhwhoooo" makes me think of "Got You (Where I Want You)" by The Flys. From the rest of your description, I'm not so sure it's what you're looking for, but I figured I'd mention it just in case. It's from the album Holiday Man, released 1998.

You can listen to it here, and read the lyrics here.

I don't know about "only on the inside," but "aaaaaahwwooooo" sounds like Warren Zevon's Werewolves of London.

Perhaps Fortune Fly by Josh Cameron?

If it's none of the above, try the judybat's ugly on the outside.

Thanks sjthomp. That's it. 17 minutes. Unbelievable. I owe you at least a couple of your favorite beverages. Thanks to all for your efforts.
