Comment on What's the name of this 80s song sang by a solo female singer? I only remember her saying "nothing really maaaa-tters" or "nothing truly maaaatt-ers". Has a vibe like I Feel For You by Chaka Kahn

  The song I heard sounded very different. I whistled (well, tried to) the melody here voca.ro/17IhmkCs2oHu the melody was made up by a piano sound that seemed like a synth or an electric piano (sounded similar to a normal piano, but the sound dragged a bit longer)

    Ah. The Barney Miller funk setting on the Roland. Nice find.

    I’m stumped, but now I’m on a mission.

    Not a very experienced whistler, I think! It takes practices for sure, and not everyone can do it. Maybe humming or “Doo Doo Doo” or even scatting would be more helpful?
