Ok i have a song stuck in my head and I'm sure someone here knows it. Its a rap song and has a chorus/sample that goes:

"brrrrtt" (this sounds kind of like a gun
"stick him
ha ha ha
stick him"

alternately it might be
"brrrrtt
get him
ha ha ha
get him"

I can't get it out of my head. Tried a google search but the words are too common.

the original sample is from the fat boyz song "human beatbox part II" but it's a really popular thing to sample and/or quote. the beastie boys have a song with the chorus based on that but there's a ton of other groups who have built songs around it as well.

you might even be thinking of the original because it was in a jeep commercial a little while ago.

I heard this one on an ad for a show on the history channel about the 70's or Woodstock or the gay rights movement or... maybe all of the above.
Anyway it's a disco song and the only lyrics I could make out were (roughly):

I'm real (The I'm is held so it's like "aaaaAAAhm real")
when we
get home boy I'm gonna...

And that is seriously all I could make out. Sorry to have such scant info but it's been driving me nuts. I really like the tune and would like to include it in a disco mix that I am making.

The ad was on the History channel in Japan by the way... I don't know if they are or were running the same one in any English speaking countries.

Alright, here it goes:
Looking for a song with a hook line/chorus that goes "*** got a gun, *** got a gun". I think the name was Betsy, but memory could fail me, because Google shows me nothing. It's Hip Hop/Rap, as far as I can remember, but it's not Jadakiss or T.I. The voice sounds Mos Def-y though. Might have seen a music video for it, circa 1999-2003.

this beastie boys song:

http://profile.imeem.com/ubLwmp/music/0rDuVP9C/beastie_boys_brrr_stick_em/

i believe it's a b-side from a To the Five Boroughs single

seriously if you are a fan of hip hop at all, you've heard the fat boys sample and/or quote in about 800 songs, it's pretty much impossible to pin down with just that to go on -- off the top of my head i can think of Cam'ron, MC Eiht, E-40, Jeru The Damaja, Beatnuts -- poo poo if an MC has more than three or four LPs out there's a very good chance they've dropped this line once or twice, it's even more ubiquitous than "SUICIDE - it's a suicide"

edit: not to mention the massive amount of D&B producers that have used it for a hook as well

Unfortunately the audio quality is really bad. I only catch a single word here and there and can't piece enough of it together for a successful Google search.

Does anyone recognize the band/song?

I really need help trying to find the name and artist of a song I heard, I've searched for hours for the few lyrics that I remember, but I just can't find the song's name.

The main lyrics I remember, and they were used a lot were like: "spending our days in the sun", or "spending our time in the sun", and also some lyrics about "all is gone" or "all is lost", and it got repeated a lot, I think it was the chorus. The lyric "in the sun" or "the sun" was used a lot.

The song itself sounded Jamaican or Caribbean in style.

The closest lyrics that I could find, are the lyrics to "Seasons in the sun", but the song sounds nothing like that, as I said it has a Jamaican sound to it, it's like reggae.

The main clue would be the constant use of the lyric "the sun", it was used almost all the time, I don't think that I've heard any other song use "the sun" as much as this one.

Thanks.

EDIT: The lyrics from "Seasons in the Sun" that looked familiar were "We had seasons in the sun", and the "have all gone" lyric, but as I said the song sounded way different.

Unfortunately no, that isn't it, and it wasn't an upbeat song. It was more like a song about hard times or remembering the past, and singing about it in a soulful way, and about time or days in the sun.

It was such a good song, drat.

I'm 99% percent sure it's not the one you're looking for, but I figured to just give it a shot.

Dubstep goons-

This tune's been haunting me for ages. I thought it was "Colourful" by Skream, but it's not, just kinda similar. The same kinda flute/pipe melody, but this one's a bit slower, and very melancholy (haunting, even), with the bass backing it up a lot more.

I wish I could give you more information.

EDIT: No lyrics or voice samples that I'm aware of, either, if that narrows it down. It's the main difference between it and "Colourful"

I'm looking for the name of a song that played in a Washington State Lotto commercial a few years back. The commercial shows events happening in backwards slow-motion and then forwards again at the very end. It is a 4/4 simple guitar riff with eerie ambient sounds, and drums enter in a catchy beat after about 8 measures. Any help would be cool!

I'm going crazy trying to identify a song that I heard at a party the other night.

It starts off with what I think is an acoustic guitar and then a male voice starts chanting "dun dun dundundun dun" (or maybe "dum dum dumdumdum dum"). The whole song has a sort of Eastern or Central-Asian feel to it. It (or at least the version I was listening to) is a good dance song as well. I don't think the song is obscure, but random google searches have so far not turned up anything.

Alright I have to find out what song this is because I don't hear it often at all and have pretty much no chance of figuring it out on my own since I'm not sure what the lyrics are... only what they sound like. I doubt I have them right since a search didn't turn up the song, and since I don't listen to the radio much and they don't play it at the store I work at I doubt I'll have a chance to listen to it closely to get the lyrics right for a search.

Basically, on a road trip in '05 I heard a song by a chick that sounds kind of like Meredith Brooks (at least how she sounds in that Bitch song since that's the only one I've heard as far as I know) and the one part I remember sounds like "It's the same, same same/it's the same same same". I heard the song not too long ago for a second time and it brought back all these nostalgic feelings of that road trip that I had so much fun on, and it's driving me nuts because no amount of searching has turned it up. Surely one of you knows what song I'm talking about. :/

I saw a song on one of those video jukebox things in a bowling place a little while ago, which I remember hearing on the radio a long time ago but so far my attempts at finding it have failed.

The only lyrics I can remember are 'I wanna be free... yeah, yeah yeah', which is probably the chorus and definitely comes up over and over throughout the song. The 'yeah's are sort of drawn out also, kind of like, 'yeeeaah, yeeaah, yeeah'.

I'm guessing it was popular around the late 90's or something? That's when I get the impression I heard it around the place, although it could've been a little later maybe.

That's pretty much all I can remember about it; I caught a glimpse of the music video but I don't remember anything of it apart from that one of the guys had an afro. Possibly.

Surely someone knows what I'm talking about?!
