It's Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata.

No. But the song I'm thinking of was from the 80s (I think). So you're not completely off.

It was kind of choppy the way some of it was sung. Almost like a staccato but with the voice.

Like "dah. dah. dah. daaah. dah. do do do do dah"

No, but the style and feel of what I'm thinking of is similar. So we're getting closer.

Good guess! But not what I'm thinking of.

Male vocals. Pretty sure the group was British.

I feel like I remember the word "you" in one of the main lyrics.

So it was all staccato voiced "do. do. do. dooo. da." "da da da da da" then instrumentals without words.

Nah. Never heard of that one before.

What I'm thinking of is more pop. Synth? Almost makes you think electronic, but it isn't.

It's also is/was a fairly popular song. Not at all obscure. I'm sure once or if I find it or come across it again, I'll think, oh how did I forget it was by them and called this?

was the band XTC then

or Squeeze -- Cool for Cats

I don't think it was XTC. Male vocalist had a somewhat deeper voice. Not extremely deep, but a bit deeper.

Wasn't Cool for cats.

Voice sounded a bit like Duran Duran. I don't think it was Duran Duran though, but I'm gonna take a look through their stuff and see. Song I'm thinking of is a bit faster than what Duran Duran typically does.

It's not this, but this is very close. So close that even just replaying Tainted love from memory in my head made me lose the whole thread. God damn it. Now I'm struggling to remember what the song I remembered sounds like. One step forward. Two back.

Just kidding. Listened to Tainted Love again for real now, not just whatever the fuck I was listening to from memory in my own head, and I'm like 99% sure this is what I was thinking of. Thanks Anon G! :)

The part I was trying to describe in the OP he's even literally saying "tainted love" as the lyrics, then it goes to the instrumentals. So if I could've even remembered just one thing he was saying, that should've been it. The literal title of the song.

I didn't actually expect to find it in this way and, to be honest, I made this thread as a half joke. All across the internet you find people making posts like "yo, help me find this song, it goes something like boom boom boom. boom. boom bum. da. a. that's all i can remember, good luck!"

Anyway. Tainted Love. Amazing song.

@OP
It's a rap song. Probably one of the first rap songs ever produced. That much is obvious.
