A song with no riffs. The chords and bass line might give an expert some clue what the song is. But most people would not ID this without the vocal track.

Out the window to the clear blue sky
It will mess your suit, it will make you cry
It doesn't matter, give me Mumdane pie

Annoying keyboard riff that just repeats (Thomas Dolby). It is similar to the vocal melody.
