Ok so I was watching tv the other night, and I caught a piece of a song that for the life of me can't remember the name of, who did it, or how it goes.
The only thing I remember is it was upbeat, it sounded like, or at least reminded me of Elvis Costello, and the chorus was

Sooner or later dah dah dah dah dah
Sooner or later dah dah dah dah dah

and thats all I can remember.

I feel like a goof because its been running thru my head for a couple of days now, and I should know this.

Anyone?

No that's not it.
This was later I think. Maybe 80's?
Honestly the first thing I thought of was Elvis Costello when I heard it.

I wanna say Alan Parsons Project's "Sooner or Later", off Vulture Culture.

But I don't think it's possible to hear Elvis Costello with Eric Woolfson singing.

I don't think anyone would mistake Ms. Ciccone for Mr. McManus either, Michael. :)

How about The English Beat's song "Sooner or Later"?


Sooner or later
Your legs give way, you hit the ground
Save it for later
Don't run away and let me down
Sooner or later
You hit the deck, you get found out
Save it for later
Don't run away and let me down
You let me down

I dunno, the lyrics seem to fit the tune in my head.
Is there any way you could post a bit of it?

Man this is really starting to drive me bonkers!

I can never get those Amazon links to play, Im using an older Mac system, but
YES!!
After poking around, I found a ring tone (of all things), and that's the song!
Finally!
My mind can rest!
Thanks everybody!

Pete Townshend did a cool acoustic cover of that on his "Deep End Live" album.

It's the original studio version of "Stairway" before they accidentally recorded Page's slide guitar over the backing vocals (recorded by Plant and Denny the same day they did "Evermore"). Only exists now because of a cassette run off for Bonham that he left in the car and was appropriated by his driver.

Sooner or later -- as we walk on down the road
Sooner or later -- our shadows taller than our souls
Sooner or later -- there walks a lady we all know
Sooner or later -- who shines white light and wants to show
