I'm in the U.K. right now, and both times I've gone into Topshop I've heard this song- It's sort of quiet, indie feeling, and it has a female vocalist. The only lyrics I ever catch are "gloria, in excelsis". anyone know what this might be?

I have had a song stuck in my head and it is driving me crazy and I only have a very vague recollection of it so I hope I will be able to explain it well enough.

It's a early to mid 90's alt/rock song that seems to remind me of something along the lines of the Violent Femmes.

It carries a lot of nostalgia and the only lyrics I can remember is something along the lines of "only happy when it rains" and something about "going outside"

I google searched the lyrics and only saw something by Garbage, and that isn't it.

Any ideas?

Probably 'Easter Parade' by Emmy the Great.

Could it be M.I.A.? I don't listen to Top 40 though, and don't know if she gets a lot of airplay.

I've been trying to find out the name of this song for a couple weeks now. The only part I remember is where the guy goes "do do do do do do.... woaaah". I'm fairly certain it's a 90's song.

Extensive googling has shown me there are a lot of songs using do and woah. One of the more frustrating ones to find is a song called do's and woah's.

Just for reference here's what it sounds like.

Hey, ok so Dinosaur Junior were on MTV2 doing the takeover or whatever, and one of their songs was some kid, singing a song about how he was on a train to record his song when he saw a guy who looked just like (some famous singer who I'd never heard of and cant remember). He sings pretty fast, and the song is essentially about all the self doubt and anxiety about being a singer and how you might not live up to expectations etc, and it culminates with him asking the guy if he is indeed the famous singer, and he takes him and beats him up and leaves him for dead.

I cant find anything online, despite all that, its really frustrating. I can see the video clear as day in my head, and also the tune, but none of the lyrics!

I heard a song today on KROQ Los Angeles, around 2pm this afternoon. It was a roots reggae song, and the only lyric I could pick out is something like "This is Jah rock," or "This is jam rock." This was what I believe to be the chorus. Any ideas? KROQ aren't picking up their phone, and their website is useless.

This is driving me nuts but-

I can not find the Halo 3/Xbox 360 comercial where they assemble a couch, tv, an xbox, and halo 3 in the middle of a sidewalk. They swoop in on parachutes, catch the xbox 360 with a blanket, put it all together, and then run off before anyone can say anything. The commercial ends with 2 twentysomethings looking at eachother loving like and a halo 3 loading screen.

I'd would like to know the song that plays during this commercial. It sounds like it's sung by children. "Nothing, but a good life, will get me out of here." Something like that.

What kind of dance music?

roy harder posted:

Probably from Europe, and in the same neighborhood as Cappella, 2Unlimited, Dance 2 trance and so on.

roy harder posted:

It's probably from around 1994, and it's a dance/techno track. The main theme goes something like this:

I don't remember if there were any lyrics, so I can't really use google. Thanks in advance.

This is Vangelis - Pulstar

From 1976 though, so not sure who the dance version is by. Great track.

In the American Gangster trailer, At 51 seconds in, what song is playing?

Anyone know the song that plays at the end of the first episode of that new show Life? It plays when the detective is looking at all his photos on the wall in his special room and it's quite post rockish.

I remember listening to a song at my mate's between 2000 and 2002 and it's been bugging me for years. It was some sort of pop-punk thing or possibly something similar to Everclear or Ninedays, and it had a lyric which sounded like 'Just look at you now, what's in a name?'. I know at the time he was listening to a lot of Less Than Jake, Smashing Pumpkins, Stabbing Westward, Blink 182 and the two aforementioned bands, if that helps.

That's all I can remember, the useless bastard doesn't remember what song it is even if I sing it at him and a lyrics search has turned up nowt.

edit: I'm guessing slightly at the years here, but I remember it was in my early teens, so around then, give or take a year.
