OK...I seriously doubt anyone will know this one but I guess I'll give it shot anyway. About a year or so ago I was watching MTV Jams and a hip hop song came on that I really liked. I wrote it down but I have since lost the paper and it has been bugging me ever since. Here is what I can remember: - The song was released in the mid to late 90s - The song had 2 guys rapping in it, I'm almost 100% sure it was by a rap duo - These guys were not mainstream at all, I consider myself of above-average hip hop knowledge and I had never heard of them - The video took place in some sort of car junkyard This is really flimsy I know...anyone?

My husband really thinks it might be Bone Thugs n Harmony - Thuggish Ruggish Bone. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tzSjtuMGOQ&feature=channel They go into a junkyard at 2:10 and it keeps cutting back to the junkyard. I guess since it was their first album that you might not have known who they were back then? It's the only memorable video he can think of in a junkyard, and he says he used to watch rap videos all day long back in the 90s.

What is the source of the horn sample at the beginning of Los Marijuanos - It's Time To Get High? I heard that same sample and subsequent break on the opening track of Praxis's Warszawa record as well (at 0:15) and I'm curious as to where it came from. the-breaks.com came up with nothing.

l33tfuzzbox posted:Alright, this song is used in the beginning of the video game Blur, its a piece of an opera over a techno beat. I would swear that its from the same opera that was used in the movie Fifth Element, but I'm not positive. I could also swear the track in Blur was just a loop from a rap track, but for the life of me I cannot figure out what it is!!! Any help? The opening song is a remix of Ennio Morricone's L'estasi dell'oro.

Ok, my description sucks but maybe someone will understand. I don't even really remember the lyrics. This song has some sort of electric organ in the background. One of the sections goes duun duun dunnnn dun dun dun duunn dun duuuuunnnnn... No idea what the guy is singing about. At least there aren't too many songs with organ sounding things in them. I've heard it on the alternative rock station a few times.

Spartan421 posted:Ok, my description sucks but maybe someone will understand. I don't even really remember the lyrics. There are a LOT of songs with organs, like the entire genre of progressive rock pretty much, and a not insignificant amount of funk, classic rhythm & blues, jazz, psychedelic rock, metal, and baroque pop... Can you record yourself singing or playing the melody? What did the singer's voice sound like (man or woman, high or low pitched, screamy, whiney, gravelly?)? Does it have a certain 'era' to it like if you were to guess would you say it's from the 60s or 70s (in which case you're fighting an uphill battle) or 80s or now? For the record, the first thing i thought of was A Whiter Shade of Pale by Procol Harum kundalini rinsing fucked around with this message at 01:46 on Jun 16, 2010 |

Sorry for the late reply...I thought your husband had given up on it! OK...thinking about it again these are the facts I am most confident in: - The group was a duo, the song was released in the mid to late 90s - The song was pretty hard, not a party type song at all - Almost certainly an east coast (probably NYC) group - NOT mainstream at all. Although I remember finding the group in Wikipedia when I looked up the song. They were very similar to groups like Smif n Wessun, Black Moon, Artifacts... - The video was in a junkyard!! hammeritme fucked around with this message at 14:15 on Jun 16, 2010 |

QPZIL posted:OK, this will solve a mystery that has plagued the music center of my brain for years. I would remember the name of the band that did this song if I saw it, but I can't for the life of me remember what it is or what the name of the song is. I can even remember everything else about my life when I heard it, and it was even playing over the PA in between bands at an Explosion in the Sky show I went to a couple years ago, but I didn't think to ask anyone what the song was. It's one of those pretentious indie bands from a few years ago... Reposting this from a couple years back. I still haven't found it It's my musical white whale.I want to say the song is from around 2000 +/- a couple years.

Looking for a song that has lyrics that sound something like "and I ask myself how much do you want" and "It never ends" but I'm sure i have the lyrics wrong. It sounds very 80s/early 90s, with a female singer.

This is a long shot but worth a try... I'm looking for a music video from a band that sounds, according to my friend, like something between the mars volta and the deftones. The video itself had a female vocalist with shoulder length black hair, and the entire video was hypersaturated red. He recalls it being sometime between ~2001 and 2005 that it came out. The vocalist had a very sultry, almost sort of nightclub singer type style. Any guesses?

I'm trying to find this old rock song from so many years ago; all I remember is the music video. It starts with a guy running down some ally or street as if he's being chased, and he runs into this dingy bar. After sitting down to have a drink, he notices that his arm movements control the arms of other people at the bar, and he causes some mischief by forcing a guy to knock his drink off the table, and almost gets a girl to take off her top or something, all while controlling their arms. At the end, another guy begins to control HIS arms instead, and the video ends with the guy mimicking a cutting motion across his throat. If anyone recalls the song I'd appreciate it, for nostalgia's sake.

OK, maybe goon know-how can identify an old song, most likely early 80's or thereabouts. It's a slow rock song along the lines of Seger's "Like a Rock" only with a lot of bass to it. The lyrics talk about remembering things, and I swear one line is "I remember the night Walter Cronkite said, JFK was just shot in the head". You'd think with a specific line Google would turn up something, but no dice. Help me goons, you're my only hope!

Trying to remember a video I saw sometime ago, late 90s or early 00s. It's starts off with a guy (the performer of the song, I think) standing on what I think is a subway platform. At the same time, there is a woman in a tub, and she either tries to kill herself or starts accidentally drowning in the tub. The guy senses this somehow and starts running in slow motion. I don't recall whether or not he makes it to the woman. I don't remember too much about the actual song, aside from it being rock of some type.

Just heard a song last night while waiting for Goldfrapp to go on...kind of a punkish-art rock sound, and it included part of the lyrics to Teddy Bear's Picnic: If you go out in the woods today, you're sure of a big surprise" etc. I've tried googling but of course all that comes up is the original song.

This may not be the place to ask, but I know the song just need help with the lyrics. In the song You Are my Number One by Smash Mouth there is a part where Ranking Roger does a rap bit, I want the lyrics to what he says but on every lyric site I search it just has the lyrics that the lead singer sings.
