Who Can Name This Tune?

1970's era song that featured some way cool slide guitar wail.

Lyrics as best I can here transcribe: "Woo-ah-hoo, woo-ah-hoo-hoo, RIDE-ah!-RIDE-ah!-RIDE!!"

Update:

For some reason, I'm thinking.....maybe it's by Three Dog Night? But the song has a James Gang sound, with a hint of Joe Walsh on slide guitar ( not vocals, I don't think ). The "slide guitar" sound quickly goes up to a very high bluesy wail that's awesome.

Update 2:

Found it!! The actual song I've been searching for over 30 some years is: RUN, RUN, RUN by Jo Jo Gunne!!

  • Do you mean "ooga chaka?"

    If so that is Hooked on a Feeling.

    No slide guitar there. Do you mean Foghat's Slow Ride?

    It has a lot of whooos in it and repeats the title over and over.
