You! You know what dog food tastes like? Do you? It tastes just like it smells... Delicious!
I'm actually trying to figure out the band, here are some of the clues that I can pull from my memory:

Song clues
- On one of their albums, possibly their debut, one of the songs contains the word "Rosemary" in the lyrics... I believe in the verse.
- The verse of this song was mostly just the bass guitar, with "Rosemary" sung somewhere in there - All instruments came in during the chorus.
- I think this song was near the top of the album, possibly even the first song.

Band info
- I think they were somewhat popular around 2004-2006.
- I THINK they may be European. No accent can be heard though.
- The singer (male) has a distinctive voice, I can't think of any other singer to compare to. Mid-range-ish, but not a lot of dynamics, and strong.
- He sung pretty much the same way through-out the whole album.

This is driving me crazy. Especially because I think I had their album downloaded back in the day and listened to it fairly often.

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"

I'm going to quote myself from 6 months ago since I just replied to this thread again, because I can still hear this song in my head and I've gotten nowhere with it. I wish I could be more specific, but the only other things I remember are the "I thought I could change the world while I was sleeping(???) / I thought I could change, but I was wrong" part of the chorus. The chords in the chorus are roughly: F, C, C#, G#, G repeated I think....an all girl vocalist punk band...California......aghgrrrrrrrrrghghrghrghgh.

edit - I can't believe I'm doing this but what the hell I'm not doing anything important now anyway. The note should go exactly over what note the word sung is. I haven't heard this song in a year but I have perfect pitch so I'll do what I can

code:
G#   G#     G#   G#      G#
I  thought  I   could  change 

G#   G#    G#    Bb   G#    G    G#
The world while  I    was  (sleeping?)

G#   G#     G#   G#      G#
I  thought  I   could  change 

G#  C  C#   Bb
But I  was wrong
The chord changes (all power chords) in the chorus went:

(F) I thought I could change (C) (C#) (G#) the world (G) while I was (sleeping?)
(F) I thought I could change (C) (C#) (G#) but I was (G) wrong


edit 2 - the amount of effort that I've put into worrying about this completely eclipses how much I actually liked this song

I don't know if this necessarily constitutes itself as a song identification, but rather, a rare vinyl identification. My friend described to be a series of vintage records from the 40's or 50's that were terrible, awful pornographic stories with bad actors. Apparentally, the guy who made the albums was known for putting out albums of this quality, and I really want to figure out who it is. Thanks!

There was a song my mom and I listened to when I was younger. It was by one of the male members of Boston or REO Speedwagon or Journey or Fleetwood Mac, and was about his little demon or devil or monster, his cocaine addiction.

My mom denies this song even exists, and google won't help me.

EDIT: IMDB says it's a song by The Rogue Waves, they any good?

I heard this song tonight that sounded like it was sung by Joe Cocker, but the instrumentation sounded like Ray Charles. The only lyrical phrases I could make out are "I don't care" and "I'm going home." It was played on a radio station that plays a lot of mainstream hits. Any ideas?

Genre you're looking for is mostly known as balkan beats. It's a mix of gypsy/balkan music and electronic beats.

Look up artists such as Shantel among others.

I have Russian television at home and heard this song playing on a show and I googled the lyrics. He was and still is a famous Belorussian preformer and composer who received many award for his music in the Soviet Union. I can't find many videos of him singing, but he composed some of the best Soviet rock. http://video.yandex.ru/users/aslar/view/268/

This is a melody I figured out by accident on guitar, and I can't figure out what it is. It seems so obvious but I can't place it. Probably a pop song or from a commercial or something.

I overheard this song a couple times on the Sirius indie station recently, but I didn't catch the title or artist. It was a simple, upbeat pop song with a bouncy rhythm. The thing that stuck out was the rhythm was played on a either a steel drum or a synth that sounded like one. More than likely it's a song from this year.

Kinda vague, but I'm sure somebody knows what I'm looking for.

Pretty sure I got it around 1998 off a CD that came with a heavy metal type magazine (I want to say Metal Hammer). I think there were also tracks by System of a Down, Anthrax, and Dropkick Murphys (!) on the same disc.

I can't even understand enough of the lyrics to use Google, heres hoping someone recognizes it, cause its driving me mad.

I can only describe this song by describing the video.

The band are drinking beer and heckling a bunch of LARPers from their car. They go to their garage playing the song and drinking beer. When the middle 8 hits they return in suits of armour made of beer cans and start beating the crap out of the LARPers.

my best guess, no guarantees since he's known to make up words. and of course there are repetitions and layerings that i'm not conveying here:
code:

ten bees all gold turn into snow
life's crows and covers ran for show
we come and look down on our knees
everything gets covered in disease

i got plenty of time but nothing to say
you, you talk all the time with smile (?) up the way

ol' unbreaking tide i hear you
coming closer i won't dear you
i know where you bring the inlorn (?)
give me courage to us love storm (?)

a modern tire in a fiery tree
and our cat bars (?) growing near the sea
and the sharks rise up and bend in the stars
and the light turns hard and crash (?)the yard
and the highways burn and the banks all explode
and the big old bombs turned the back of your throat
and the green lake's dry and the fish all know
and the bees have nothing and the stars below
i just can't get that high synthesized speech at the end. other than that, i'd give that like a 90%. if you get any other words let me know

Sounds a bout right. It was labeled Somewhere I Belong now that I think about it when I got it off Kazzaa I think a while back. Time matches up (some guy said it's 6:16 or whatever). Unfortantely all traces of this band have been erased. Their site doesn't exist anymore and youtube/iTunes/google turns up nothing. At least I can label it now, though I wouldn't mind finding some more of thier stuff.

Than you very much, I tried google searching the lyrics so however you dug this up color me impressed.

I'm trying to find a song that I've only heard once in passing. The best I've got is that it sounds similar to the melody in Royksopp's "Happy Up Here". It's got a similar tone, but more chopped up, syncopated. Kinda off beat too. I've been trying to use Pandora but no luck. It might be a hip hop song, I thought maybe Sound Providers but that's not it. Maybe something more mainstream?

I realize this is ultra vague but if anyone has ideas I'm all ears. It's frustrating because I heard only briefly, really liked it, but got no good leads on what it was.
