Dear Lemmy,

This adorable lady is Gravy. There was a song I was able to play for her on the Internet that I can't find anymore. Maybe because the rapper Yung Gravy, but he doesn't help either way.

I will type out the lyrics that I remember. "Gravy is good, Gravy is great. Gravy is good when you put it on a plate....roo toot roo tee too toot. I'll drink Gravy outta my boot....had a bad day? That's okay have some gravy and make it go away." There was also a person talking about being diagnosed with a gravy deficiency.

It was a 'local radio station type' of song that I saw on youtube. I don't remember much more. Sorry. I've been trying to search it, but it's getting harder and harder to search for information on the Internet.

I found a Facebook video with part of it by searching for ' "gravy is good" "gravy is great" ' but no song name, bad quality, and online recognisers gave false positives. Here is the extracted sound, maybe it will help someone remember: https://voca.ro/1nEGIMlFFWIS

THIS IS IT!! At least part of it. There was flash animation and what not. Thanks for this. I, at least, downloaded part of the song for me to sing to her. Thank you kind stranger for your expertise. I've been looking for a while now.

Here is bonus Gravy.

Don't know if it'll help but sounds like it's using the music of selfie

That sounds like the beat. It is crazy similar. I'll check out the rest of their catalogue.

I am happy to have helped, happier still to receive Gravy pics.

Ah so its some kind of remix of the chainsmokers' selfie maybe some kind of SoundCloud rapper

[โ€“] s3p5r@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago

The riff is closer to PSY - Gentlemen, which TRBoom caught. But Chainsmokers also ripped PSY so... it at least dates it to around 2012 when that sound was completely inescapable.
