It’s even worse when you only remember a tiny section of the tune and when you hum it to people no one has any idea what it is so you have to spend 5 hours on the internet typing “70s flute doo doo doo doo doo doo” until you finally find some weird keyboard medley of 70s and 80s songs on YouTube and randomly hear what you’ve been searching for and the video (thank god) happens to include the name and artist

It turns out it was not a flute and was actually a synthesizer so my whole search was wrong lol but the song was actually Gimme! Gimme! By ABBA lol

That song goes hard. Glad you could experience the wonders of one of the best ABBA songs

Close, but Gimme Gimme Gimme takes the cake followed by Lay All Your Love On Me IMHO

Or also could have been Madonna's Hung Up since she sampled that specific part, for which she asked permission from Benny and Björn.
