This might be the most crucial website ever for this thread: http://www.midomi.com/

Hopefully it hasn't been posted before.

Simply hum or sing the part of the song you know into a computer mic and the website will match it to any other user submitted samples. The database still needs to grow, but its already pretty solid with mainstream stuff...and you music goons can surely fill in the rest!

Sometimes when I'm home alone I submit a song or two...its addictive.

This has the potential to be pretty cool. I got it to find "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong, and instead of "Lola" by The Kinks it gave me Weird Al's "Yoda" but I couldn't get it to pick up "Another One Bites the Dust" or "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen or Warren Zevon's "Werewolves of London." I'll have to play with it some more later.

I'm looking for a song that goes like this:

the queen is crying behind palace walls
the prince goes riding and he takes a fall

...and the chorus is:

London bridges all fall down,
bits and pieces on the ground,
london bridges all fall down,
london bridges all fall down.

If anyone could help me out I'd appreciate it :)

I sang hakunamatata from the lion king and it picked it up even though the other guy sang it in French.

Theres a section of the chorus where the word "saturday" is repeated like 7 times. Possibly followed by "what a day".

A friend of mine believes it was sung by Elton John although i'm vaugely familiar with his works and a google search only turned up a song by him called "Saturdays Alright (for fighting)" which isn't the song i'm looking for.

Any suggestions?

According to this imdb post it's "Wake Me Up When It's Over" by Ian Thomas, this is entirely plausible seeing as Ian is the director's brother, but after checking out his site I can't find the song.

The only song I can find that remotely resembles what you describe is by a band called Longwave. You can see the video for their song "Wake me when it's over" here: http://www.myspace.com/longwaveofficial

I'm not sure if it's the right song or not, as there's no reference to the coke line you mentioned but I thought it would be worth a try.

okay, here's one, i'm looking for a song that was definitely from the mid-90's, the music was pretty "grungy" but the song had some shimmering vocal harmony work pretty much through the entire thing. The song did the loud/quiet/loud thing where the chorus was a big "EXPLOSION" but the verse was just drums and vocals and REALLY distorted bass. I'm pretty sure the progression was just a I - V - iii - IV or something very similar. I can't remember any of the lyrics except for at the very end, after the chorus repeats, the vocalist sings "I'd hate to -- understaaaaaaand you" and he stretches it out for a really long time.

edit: Just popped into my head but there is a bridge or a pre-chorus in this song as well where the guitar gets all swirly and flanged out and the vocalist sings "...and I'm waiting" a whole bunch.

Google has yielded nothing! Help! This should be enough detail, right?

ok I know this may be a long shot but it's been driving me nuts, I heard on a cast or some kind of preview sample or something, a song that I'd swear used 2 or 3 notes from "it takes two" as a fast baseline under some ambient type echoey noises along with a kind of sketchy fast percussion, it seems like the kind of thing that would be like thievery corp or those kinds of guys, but maybe a bit more uptempo.

I can't either remember it as a song I may actually have somewhere or as something I almost got and now can't find again. Hopefully that's enough to go on?

Alright here is one that will make me sound gay.

I was in the mall a while back and over the mall speakers a song was playing. It was sung by a woman and sounded very 80's ish, early 90's ish. I don't remember any other lyrics other than the chorus which is a very drawn out, "IIII looooooveeee youuuuu, IIII looooooveeee youuuuu."

Just like that, two drawn out I love you's over some poppy upbeat music. I've searched and searched and found nothing, but dammit it was an awesome song. Here's to hoping a goon might know.

I can't remember anything terribly useful about this song, so I have to apologize in advance. I was exposed to it through a video that made its way around the internet many years ago, featuring a cover by a band using mostly improvised instruments. They wore track suits. One guy with a big beard played guitar and did vocals. The original vocals are female. One guy kept having to pull his pants up, and played percussion with a small metal bar that he would bang on a countertop. He also made a bass drum noise by slamming shut the lid of a deepfreeze.

There's a part where it goes dun duh-dun Dun! Dun-dun-duh dun, or something. gently caress. I'm really sorry if none of this means anything. It's just driving me crazy, and I want to watch the video again.

EDIT: I am loving retarded. The song is Total Eclipse of the heart. Oh my god. Sorry for wasting space. I swear it just came to me as soon as I posted.

VVVV Thanks. Yeah, after my brain-surge, it was the first hit on YouTube for "total eclipse of the heart cover". VVVV

Being out of your box isn't a right. It's a privilege.
I was at the barber's last night and they were playing this old-timey sounding, twangy country group. They sang what I think might have been a cover of Mance Lipscomb's "Cocaine Done Killed My Baby" and then a song about a kid from Utah, Alabama who goes to Vietnam. The chorus was something like "pack up your bags... something something... they're sending you to Vietnam." There were lyrics kind of like "he couldn't see the bodies for all the dust," and something about the drill sergeant being loud and the military men tracking him down at a bar and making him sign papers to go to war.

I know it wasn't Lipscomb. It was a bunch of people singing and it was high-energy hillbilly-sounding country, not blues. I thought I'd be able to Google it really easily, but I've had no luck so far. Thanks in advance.

I'm back with another song I doubt anyone will get due to a lack of information. I heard it during an 80s radio hour on a local station that was on in the background. I remember how the main part of the chorus goes and have made an (admittedly horrible and quickly done) replica of it.

The lyrics in the first part that you hear in the replica sounded something like "Jo-in us, Jo-in us" or "jo-y ness, jo-y ness", and then the next part was more lyrics but I couldn't make them out.

This was probably a fairly famous song or group because the station was not playing obscure songs. The song before it was Billy Idol and the one after it was Prince, so it was probably someone fairly popular. I am fairly certain it had a male vocalist.

Looking for the name of something I heard a long time ago.

Classical piece with a tempo around 85-93 I think, and it kinda rumbles on.

It sounds very powerful/intimidating and slow.

The main "riff" is the violin section and the low brass section playing back and forth.

dun dundun dundun dundun dundun dundun dundunnn

I once heard it referred to as a piece from Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet but I don't believe that's the case.

IF it helps it's sone of the tunes they play from the speakers at Escape from Pompeii in Williamsburg, VA.

Welp after looking around, too, a TON of bands have covered the Elton John song (including Queen and The Who) so there's a chance it could be one of those versions of the same song, as well.

I really can't think of any other songs that say saturday that much even though I'm sure I've heard one with a female vocalist and a ton of synths.

Honestly, though, I'm really thinking it might be the Who version that dude is thinking of, it sounds quite different.

An incredibly 80's song they play on the local oldies station. I'm not sure what the heck the guy is saying but it sounds like "Mineral Rice." It sounds so random for a guy to be singing about it, but I can't think of anything else he could be saying. There's also some breathy voices saying "Mineral Rice" too. It's also pretty slow and sappy sounding, in that 80's sort of way.

Help, please. It must be pretty popular because they play it all the time.

I have this song stuck in my head, but not the words. :smith:

The hook is pretty much this:

Doo dooo todayyyyyyy
Doo dooo tomorrowwwwwwww
Dah da da da da for you

Do and Da being the notes in the song, of course. It's a rock song, from the 2000's, I think the singer sounds like the singer from Disturbed, but the song itself is slow and melodic. Might be an Australian singer.

I think it may be "save me today" or "love me today" but I'm not sure
