Super random, but...
What do you guys think about Demi Lovato?

A bit of an over-singer.

Just saw the NYT obit & was thinking of post. Really sad, and a bigger figure in music to me than 75% of the people in RIP threads here. (No disrespect intended, just a fact.) Part of one of the key groups of the past 25 years.

The band I play keyboard in has decided to take on Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer". All well and good----nothing like a decent skullcruncher to keep your audience on their toes----but there's the matter of that Fairlight shakuhachi arpeggio. Apart from the business of getting a sound to approximate it, there are the notes to consider. One website claimed that "it's just 5 different tones required, we play it in Eb major, it goes like this Ab-Db-Eb-Eb(8va) --- Ab-Gb-Ab-Eb". H'mm.
I'll find a solution, no doubt about that, but I was just wondering if anyone here has anything to say on the subject.

Thanks a lot, Sjöman. Most interesting! The Band Geeks play it in the original E flat. Our singer can't sing that high so we've had to compromise and play it in C. It's lost a lot of its impact along the way but that's show business...
As it happens, I've managed to sort out the flute flourish. I even coaxed a
shakuhachi
sound out of my Nord (sheer luck, I suspect).

Hi, Ovi. Chuck's "Almost Grown"? It's just nonsense syllables. The "lah-doo-day" bit found its way onto "The Little Girl I Once Knew"...
According to wikipedia, "[t]he background vocals on Berry's recording are by Etta James and Harvey & the New Moonglows, featuring the young Marvin Gaye."

Yeah, thought so. Though they always sounded a bit like "night and day" and I was wondering.

I've been pondering the upper register leap in the background vocals of some sixties songs. Earl-Jean's "I'm Into Something Good" will do as an example (first at 0:23):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5-Sg_JJgQ4
Another occurs just before the tag of the Shangs' "Leader Of The Pack" and a third (if slightly more elaborate) during the tag of The Ronettes' "(The Best Part Of) Breakin' Up"...
Whenever I hear that effect at the end of "At My Window" I find myself thinking "Hey, they're imitating their earlier selves". Maybe that's because of the similar effect in the bridge of "Back In The U.S.S.R."...
Did the BB do it first? Or did it come from the NYGG or doo wop scene?
Just thinking out loud here...

There's another great track I've heard a couple of times recently and can't identify but I'm sure it's been a hit so it's only obscure to me.
It has a bit of a Mink Deville sound to it (not that I'm that familiar with their stuff) with a low lead voice and this instrumental section with a high melodic, Moorish-sounding guitar line which, if the song were to be in B minor, is shaped thus (upper case is ascending and LOWER CASE descending):
B______ A# b c# d C#__ (B A#) b______
The notes in (brackets) are short.
Sound familiar to anyone?

Checking music in computer, you see many songs with stupid/ bizarre titles - various namby pambys, shang a langs, hanky pankys, who planted torns in miss alice's gardens, diddy wah diddys, apothecary dreams, the upper left hand corner of the skys, geometry alleys, algebra spaghettis.
