I'm looking for a 1980s song that sounds almost JUST LIKE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXL9AkXzlt8 (Swing out sister-Breakout) in the intro. The differences I can remember is rather than getting more upbeat (like in the linked song) the one I'm looking for stays at the same tempo, and has a hipster dude voice. I don't know how better to describe it, but the linked intro sounds JUST LIKE the song I'm looking for. Thanks!

No. Its not Rick Astley. The song I'm thinking of has a kind of melancholy feel to it. The real similar factor the song I'm looking for has almost the exact same bass line as the intro I linked.

I found this track on a myspace that was linked here a little while back. It's shoegaze-ish electronica, a little like m83, and starts with some rustling and a synthesized organ sound, then halfway through it gets some percussion and changes from a quiet track into a loud one. I have the song, but I don't know the artist or the name of the song and I really want to know.

I hear this song every time that I go out to a club, and for some reason it has been stuck in my head the last few days. It's a female singer and the chorus is something like "how many licks [poo poo that I can't make out] love you just the way you are" which is then repeated back again. She also says something about "touch my body it's free" somewhere in the song a few times. It's club music, so it has a strong, fast beat. I generally don't like listening to this type of music outside of a club, and if I can't get it out of my head soon I'm going to lose my loving mind.

This is killing me and this seems like the best place to ask. I was listening to KGRL on my mobile about three weeks ago and a song came on. I really loved it, wrote down some of the lyrics to google them later but lost the paper. Here's what I can remember: - Sang by a girl (obviously) - It's sort of toned-down indie pop (heavy on the pop) with a certain amount of country-influenced sound, reminiscent of early Rilo Kiley - The song is basically a love song, where the singer talks about how her man is going to make her/them rich, - I vaguely remember that part of the chorus goes either along the lines of "He's gonna make things right" or something similar - The lyrics are materialistic and center mostly about being/becoming rich, but they're not obnoxious and kind of endearing (at least for me) - I seem to remember a mention about skyscraper(s) at some point I'd really really owe anyone who can find out what this song is, it's driving me insane.

I wish I could be more specific: It's a recent song, like within the last few years, by an all-girl punk band from California (?) I think it is. The song is titled something like "I Thought I Could Change" and the refrain is "I thought I could change but I was wrong"

A song I'm trying to remember had what appeared to be a fan-made video on youtube. The song was about a man who was laid off work who ended up committing suicide after killing his wife and child. The song had a very minimalistic feel: there was only a very basic beat repetition in the background, and the vocals were more spoken, rather than sung. The song was something along the lines of "Poor Johnny" or Johnny 12 Gauge".

Edit: Found it! Its Disco Partizani by Shantel I was reading some of my notes from my travels and I had written down a dance/electronic song that some friends of mine taught me. All I know is the hook which goes "Disco Disco Albesani" Apparently it was a pretty popular song in Turkey last summer. I may be butchering the third word but a Kazakhstani friend of mine informed me that it meant Freedom Fighter in Russian. tsbicca fucked around with this message at 08:05 on Feb 4, 2009 |

bastardmonk posted:whats this song? Searching the lyrics gave me this: http://tinymixtapes.com/Castanets,7228 "Glory B" by Castanets That song is not on youtube or Last FM, but the artist is, and yes, that is him. http://youtube.com/watch?v=SDjzLH8FYR4 http://www.last.fm/music/Castanets Now that I've given something, I feel comfortable asking: I was playing Team Fortress 2 on a server allowing micspam, and there was some dude spamming this song. I'm about 90 percent sure it was a female vocalist, and the pronunciation made me pretty sure that she was Japanese. However, there were no real words involved as far as I could tell. It was basically a Japanese girl Scatman, except maybe a little more emphatic, overall faster (but without the bursts of John Moschitta-like speed) and with a little more range IIRC. If it helps, it sounded like something that 4chan or YTMND would be all over. The dude wasn't answering as to what the hell it was and now it's driving me nuts.

This just hit me like a punch in the face today and I have no leads. This was a fairly popular song a few years ago, and (at least from what I remember) it got aggressive radio play. I recorded the main guitar riff from humming it, but that also can be wrong. I think I remember the name of the band being some sort of clever little thing, but also, I could be wrong. I don't think they had another hit in the United States again. here is the recording http://www.2shared.com/file/4802234/b6391266/dundun.html

There are a few songs in that movie by Soak, although not the same one I was searching for. I don't remember anything about their music, so I can't say for sure if it's them, but I know they had like 3 songs on there, so there's a good chance.

I heard the song on the local college radio station a couple days ago. I can only remember some lyrics from the song, and the lyrics I remember aren't in any specific order: "And it's any moment now, yeah any moment now, any moment now" "What are you doing downtown, boy, don't you know your place?" "First a drink and then your hips can shake" Edit: Heard it on the radio again today. There's trumpets in the song as well. "While you order using coded slang, we play hurry up and wait" kinkood fucked around with this message at 23:08 on Feb 5, 2009 |

There used to be band around the late '90s or early 2000s, and it was group of white guys rapping to music that had more rock to it than hip-hop. They probably weren't well know, and their talent level was probably on par with Limp Bizkit. One of the members had the sole job of doing The Robot in their music videos and at concerts. Anyone remember this band?

This sounds like it could be 2 Skinnee J's (they have a dude named Sumpy who just dances around and drinks beer and wears a gold hat and huge sunglasses), but if you are suggesting that they suck anywhere NEAR as much as Limp Bizkit, you are horribly mistaken. However, there are approximately 8.4 million rap/rock bands from around that time, so it could be anyone. Do you have anything more to go on? edit: the song samples on that site suck, go here for a better song. Also, one of the dudes in 2SJ is black, so it seeming less likely to be them.

It's not the Prodigy nor 2 Skinnee J's. The dancer dressed up in a way to hide his face. The others dressed kind of like wiggers. I only remember a little of one song, and they were talking about avoiding the cops because they had drugs. The Box (US channel) used to play their videos sometimes. edit: one video was about a house/block party in a suburban setting. Spider Crusoe fucked around with this message at 01:06 on Feb 7, 2009 |
