"A Doobie Dough" Song
Can't seem to track down the title/artist of a song that's on the radio from time to time nowadays. It's a male vocalist, kind of bluesy and slow but that keeps a steady rhythm, and the song has line, repeated several times in the song, with a very high-pitched "Oh" or "Ooh" and then a lower-pitched "a-doobie (or dobie?) dough." I checked Google and the Reference Desk archives, but I might not have the scat lyrics close enough to find it. Ha. Thanks in advance for your help!

 * Sorry, yeah. It's a new song.  First heard it about a year ago.  "On the radio nowadays" = currently still on the "Top 40-like" radio stations.  Thanks.  -  Kingsfold   (Quack quack!)  11:46, 6 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Turns out it's "Budapest" by George Ezra. I misinterpreted "I'd leave it all" for "A doobie dough."  Ha!  Case closed.   Kingsfold   (Quack quack!)  16:34, 6 August 2016 (UTC)


 * For years I heard "Daylight Katie come on" as "ditty bang ditty kabong"; that was after Gordon Lightfoot's voice started to go strange. —Tamfang (talk) 09:47, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
