Calling All Music Experts! I Have A Challenge For YOU!

A couple of months ago, I heard a song on my favourite radio station, that is actually a re-make of an old 70's song by Dream Academy, Life in a Northern Town.

It has been 'redone' by Sugarland, Little Big Town and Jake Owen and it's absolutely AWESOME!!!

There's only one little problem ...

I can't figure out part of the freakin' chorus!!!

I've listened to it countless times. I've googled it. And the only info I can find on it is 'chanting'. Well ... chanting WHAT?!?!?!?

Here is the song ...



Here is your challenge! What the heck are they saying after:

Hey Oh Ma Ma Ma

? ? ? ? ?

Hey Oh Ma Ma Ma

Heeeyyyyyyy ahhhhh

Life in a Northern Town

Hey Ma Ma Ma ...


What the heck is it? Someone please, save what precious little sanity I have!!

Hey Ma Ma Ma ... :-)

    I found this:

    Web source for the latest music: onlylyrics.com
    (Feat. Little Big Town & Jake Owen)

    A Salvation Army band played
    And the children drank lemonade
    And the morning lasted all day, all day
    And through an open window came
    Like Sinatra in a younger day
    Pushing the town away, away

    Ah-heya ma ma ma, into the night-ahh
    Hey-ah ma ma ma, hey-ay-ay-ay, ah
    Life in a northern town
    Ah hey ma ma ma ma

    They sat on the stony ground
    And he took a cigarette out
    And everyone else came down to listen
    It was the winter 1963
    It felt like the world would freeze
    With John F. Kennedy and the Beatles, yeah, yeah

    Ah-heya ma ma ma, into the night-ahh
    Hey-ah ma ma ma, hey-ay-ay-ay, ah
    Life in a northern town
    Ah hey ma ma ma ma


    Ah-heya ma ma ma, into the night-ahh
    Hey-ah ma ma ma, hey-ay-ay-ay, ah
    They shut the factory down
    Ah hey ma ma ma ma


    The evening had turned to rain
    Watched the water roll down the drain
    As we followed him down... to the station
    And he would never wave goodbye
    You could see it written in his eyes
    As the train pulled out of sight, bye bye

    Ah-heya ma ma ma, into the night-ahh
    Hey-ah ma ma ma, hey-ay-ay-ay, ah
    Life in a northern town
    Ah-hey ma ma ma, take it easy on yourself
    Ah-heya ma ma ma, into the night-ahh
    Hey-ah ma ma ma, hey-ay-ay-ay, ah
    Life in a northern town
    Ah hey ma ma ma ma
    Ah-heya ma ma ma, into the night-ahh
    Hey-ah ma ma ma, hey-ay-ay-ay, ah
    Life in a northern town
    Ah hey ma ma ma ma
    Ah-heya ma ma ma, into the night-ahh
    Hey-ah ma ma ma, hey-ay-ay-ay, ah
    Life in a northern town
    Ah hey ma ma ma ma

    Thanks guys! I should have mentioned, I found the 'into the night' option on one of the online lyric sites also, but it just DOESN'T sound like that to me when I listen to it.

    Or they're REALLY slurring the words together.

    Any other suggestions?

    I would just say it's not really an actual lyric and more just like a "doo da da" type thing!

    I can sort of buy "into the night-ah". Sounds like it close enough but sort of run together like you said.
