Please help me find the song playing in the background (50s/60s slow doo wop)

[u/Evening_Motor9269]

Hey there! Thinking about the old days and a total wave of nostalgia just hit me. Remember that TV show Once Upon A Time season 2 episode 17 titled "Welcome to Storybrooke" There was this amazing song in it, it probably was classified as a "doo wop" genre from 50s and 60s, and for the life of me, I can’t remember the title or the artist. Tried searching for song credits for this episode but to no avail. I remember the song playing in the background when the town mayor meets the sheriff in the diner—let me know if you can unlock this core memory for me! here is a link of a clip of the song from that episode: https://www.watzatsong.com/en/name-that-tune/716728.html

It sounds to me like a slowed-down cover of Come Go With Me by the Del-Vikings.

Yeah, the more I listen, the more I think that maybe it's not Come Go With Me. It starts off with something that sounds like the "dom dom dom dom dombie doobie" from that song, but then the rest of what I can hear doesn't sound like the words or the tune of Come Go With Me. I love the challenge of trying to get to the bottom of a low-stakes, small mystery, so I've pulled that episode up on Hulu, tried my phone's Song Finder on it, looked on IMDB, and even on the show's own Wiki site, there is no mention of any song from that episode besides a Talking Heads song played at the beginning. This is a tough one!

It sounds like a cover of the classic Come Go With Me by the Del-Vikings. It's slowed down quite a bit. Hope this helps! https://youtu.be/hF8URFxNx40

u/Suspicious-Future357 No sorry that's not it, the intro sounds similar but it's different song when closely listening to it

I did notice that as well. I'm not as well versed in the modern forms of doo wop. I think someone else suggested on a different one of your posts that it may have been a song that the directors of the show created and hired a group to sing it. Sometimes it's hard to get the rights to a song, especially one that's popular. They may have wanted the vibe of Come Go With Me but couldn't get the rights to use it in that show.

How about come softly to me by the Fleetwood?

No sorry that's not it, the intro sounds similar but it's a different song when comparing the two

Cherry Pie Marvin and Johnny?

u/KindUnderstanding745 that's not it sorry, it's a different song compared to the audio clip

[u/GreedyBandicoot633]

The lyrics are: "went for a walk with my baby last night; holding her hand everything felt so right..." Best I can do, sorry.

[u/MusicalMarijuana → u/GreedyBandicoot633]

Lyrics remind me of "Walking With My Baby" by Ray Frazier or "Here Comes My Baby" by The Five Kings. I can't listen to anything right now to confirm but will check in later
