Subject: I need help on a title and lyrics, please!

Written By: adagio on 09/09/09 at 2:11 pm

The song I have in my head is one that is rather old and MAY start out "ONE - - - tadadata".  I really need the song and author to this....I've got a parody in my head waiting for that song. :)

Kudos if you can help me. I think the part between one and whatever word are kind of a tap melody.

Sorry,that's not the song, the tadadata were  words I didn't know.  Thanks for the help...karma for you. :)  (I was hoping it was the song)

Is it a disco song? rock song? rap?
male singer? female?
After the "One" is their a guitar riff, drum beat?
trying to narrow it down so we can help.

I am guessing it's "Count me in" by Gary Lewis and the Playboys?

Could be that too. Yup.
If I remember correctly, "Count me in" starts with a count "one...two..three" ( I don't have the song near me, just from memory)

Onetadadata? Guantanamera? (Or as the Smothers Brothers parodied it, "One ton tomato"?)

Thank you all...now I'll have everybody scratching their heads.  It's an old song and I may have the 'one' wrong, that was an example. There is tapping in between 'one' or five and the next set of words, which are possibly 5. or 6 words after.  If that's not a puzzle don't know what is.
