Satisfaction by the Rolling Stones. It's very similar; scope this early version out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IyoUte727A (later versions prettied it up some).

actually, it's even clearer in Britney Spears humming the riff here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vF2l_rWdvDs

Nope, it's definitely not that. (We already went there, and I said so in my entry.) I'm thinking it's pre-1969 by a goodly number of years, as well. It's also not "Cool Jerk" by The Capitols, although that's even more similar.

We're pretty sure it's not that, but it's close enough that once i get "Satisfaction" in my head I need to go listen to the clip again to play this riff on guitar without just falling back into "Satisfaction".

We're pretty sure it's from the bridge of a song, and that it starts off as parallel piano chords for two repetitions then gets other instruments (including brass) layered in over the next few repetitions before the vocals come back in ... and it's pretty clear that she and I are both thinking of the same song. (I'm thinking of something from roughly the same period and feeling as "Dancing in the Streets", but I'm not sure, and that's later than [livejournal.com profile] realinterrobang is thinking.)

well, Satisfaction is, in fact, from just less than a year after Dancing in the Streets, and thus years before 1969. The chord procession is almost identical, though lower (http://www.guitarchordsmagic.com/images/guitar-song-chords/satisfaction-guitar-tabs.gif). Keith Richards was actually afraid it sounded *too* much like Dancing.

Yeah, I got the year of "Dancing in the Streets" way off, probably because I'd heard one of the many covers of it before I ever heard the original.

[livejournal.com profile] maugorn came up with "Cherry Cherry", by Neil Diamond.
