LOL. Thanks but nope, not that one ~ though it did give me a laugh.

What style of music is it? Rock, R n B, Dance? If rock, is it Layla by Derek & the Dominos?

Hi all, and thanks for trying to tackle this one for me.

The song is a rock ballad, and it's not Lalya (one of my personal favs). It sounds a bit like Led Zep doing a slower number. Bit similar to some Pink Floyd from DSOTM era.
The only line from the song I can remeber is 'Oh lalaynia, couldn't blame ya' - not much help really is it ? lol
I have tried almost every permutation of the spelling in several search engines and drawn a blank so far.

Where is Naz Nomad when you need him?

The song you are looking for is called Lalena and is by Donovan circa 1968.Donovan,who was known as Britain's answer to Bob Dylan,had a string of hits in the 60's including Mellow Yellow,Colours and Sunshine Superman.Hope this answers your question

Hammyrust, you are a star ~ thanks for that. It was driving me bonkers, all I had was the one line going round in my head. Now I'll be able to get the song and listen to it properly.
