I was thinking Merrly We Roll Along but now I realize that's bum-bum-bum-di-dum not ba-da-da.

There's not a tune you can hum.
There's not a tune you go bum-bum-bum-di-dum.
You need a tune you can bum-bum-bum-di-dum —
Give me a melody!

It's great to be reminded of all these wonderful songs! I knew I wasn't the only one who loved songs that go ba-da-ba.

Banana Splits Theme song

I'm pretty sure the first three words of the overture of "Promises Promises" are a choral "Ba, Da, Dum!"

Posted: 9/13/13 at 6:12pm

I was thinking of Bali Hai.

"Monday, Monday" by The Mamas & the Papas. That's the only song that comes to my mind. I love it.

"Freedom" from SHENANDOAH: because not only does it have a 'Ba-ba-ba' verse, it also has a 'Va-va-va' verse. Now THAT's lyric writing!

PS: I do love that show/score, but this song always got on my nerves.

"I'm lovin' It," the McDonald's theme. Would love to hear Audra sing it.

Sorry for the total thread jack, but attached please find the greatest "la-da-da..." song in history, from the Aluce CooperBand's little-heard first album, "Pretties for You," it's ...
... Generation Landslide

Great song, but it's not off the psychedelic garage rock "Pretties For You," it's from the glam rock "Billion Dollar Babies" several years later.

*To the tune of "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off"*

First ba-da-da
Then ba-da-ba.
Next it's bum-bum-bum-di-dum
And bum-ba-bum-ba-ba-du-bum
Va-Va-Va
Oom-pah-pah
Ta-ra-ra
La-da-da
And Na-Na-Na sung by Jonny Groff.
