I heard this song approx. ten years ago. It was sort of a rockin folk song, and most all I remember of it is the chorus, where a man is singing "sitting in the back of my long black cadillac." The song had a really dark, heavy feel to it, it seemed like he was singing about dissatisfaction.

Any suggestions? google doesn't help with this, I've tried.

Un malheur ne vient jamais seul.
So does anyone know the song that plays in the new Men of a Certain Age promo on TNT? It was in between segments on tonight's episode of Conan. It sounds like old school R&B, and all I could make out was "it's a new day" and "feels just like we're starting again." Google failed me on every permutation I could think of.

There's some rave band that may or may not be British with both female and male vocalists that uses a lot of early video game sound effects as their beats. Like Megaman sound effects turned into their beats. The vocals are usually heavily stereo distorted, sometimes beyond coherency. Any help?

The Christmas music has been playing at my work again and one I've been trying to figure out played again today, and enough played that I was able to find the title. So I'm looking for a version of Italian Jingle Bells, but I don't think it is the Lou Monte version, does anyone know who may have covered it or if there is a version with just Lou singing without the background singers.

Get someone with a smart phone to use the Shazam app to identify it. The lyrics are unintelligible with the game noise and music. I hear something that sounds like "man with lots of money walking by" and "I go boom boom" but searches come back with nothing with those lyrics. Sounds like a new remix of a really old folk or jazz song like what Moby did in Play.


For my request: I saw a music video on MTV a few months back where I think the lead singer was falling through a glass ceiling in slow motion with shards of glass surrounding him. He eventually hits the ground and I can't remember anything else about the video except I think it was in mostly black and white or maybe they were all dressed in black with a white background? It was a newer band and song. At least, I've never heard of them but, then again, I don't watch MTV very often except to watch bitchy selfish, self-entitled teen whores with their babbys.

It seems like either the song in your video is a remix of this song, or it uses some of the same samples. The samples that the song uses are listed in the video description so that might help you track down other things that use them.

Sounds vaguely like Muse - "Bliss" or Klaxons, either "Not Over Yet" or "Golden Skans"?

Anyone know a song that has a really trippy animated video similar in style to the end of that MGMT Kids one, the video has alot of a weird head breaking in half and random stuff coming out. The only lyric I can remember is "just let go" repeated alot and it's on an advert for some ITV show right now and not knowing what the song's called is driving me nuts.

Nah, it was more of a lovely emo band I guess but that song was kind of catchy. I think there was a woman sitting on a bed not reacting to the guy smashing down through.

Don't know, but I'd say the second one (maybe both) either comes from a film score or from someone who primarily does film scores. Sounded kind of like something Craig Armstrong would do.

Okay, this is REALLY vague, but there was a band that was pretty big a few years ago that had three words mashed up into one as their name, and one of their songs that was bouncing around everywhere was really happy, poppy, with a lot of electronic synth. Any ideas? (I'm sorry, I really can't remember any lyrics.)

Edit: Ignore me, I'm an idiot. I found it by trawling (hint: barely checking) Wikipedia for synthpop bands.

I'm looking for a particular spaghetti Western song (almost certainly by Ennio Morricone) that starts off with what sounds like native american screaming (in a musical war dance sort of way). I've looked through a bunch of his stuff and keep coming up empty.

The first one is definitely a film score, (almost Black Hawk Down in style) but I can rule out Hans Zimmer for you. His type of work though. Not sure on the second one, but it plays like trailer music by one of the commercial cinema music houses.

Sorry there isn't much to go on here but here's what I remember:

It's a song.
There's a guy AND a girl singing.
There is 8 bit Nintendo sounding music playing. (the whole song is not 8 bit, just, like, the chorus music.)
It's awesome.

Any ideas?

What's the 70s or 80s song where a guy keeps singing "(I) surrender" in the chorus for like two or three times without any lyrics in between? I know the song by Rainbow and I'm not looking for that. The male voice is really monotonous and low and the background track is probably just some guitar strumming accompanied by a basic drum beat.

Surrender *beat continues*
Aaaah surrender *beat continues*


I think this one was somewhat popular. It also MAY be from the nineties and the words sung might be something that just sounds like 'surrender'. :saddowns:

I heard this song at the gym and I've searched the internet in vain trying to find it. It's a mix of Hip-Hop and Blues music. More of a clash since it seems to switch between the two genres. One of the blues lyrics was "grew up in Mississippi". He talks about traveling around the world and mentions Saudi Arabia at one point. At the end, rap guy says something to the affect of "you're the greatest, pops."

Any ideas?

Oh, well of course, everything looks bad if you remember it.
While I was in Canada last week, I heard this country song on the radio at a restaurant. Pretty sure it was a country station, as the songs that followed were hella twangy.

All I remember is the end of the song had this pretty smooth guitar solo, and the vocals didn't sound twangy at all. It honestly had more of a classic rock/alt-country kind of feel.

I'm not a big country music fan...at all, but it's probably something recent, if that rings any bells. Just kind of curious who it is.

Thanks!

Okay I keep hearing this song at work, but for some reason I can't pick any of the words out. It's synthy and sounds kind of like the Cure, and the defining characteristic is the refrain - it's mostly "whoa-oh".

It goes like this:

(something) tonight
(something) tonight, Whoa-oh (echo:"whoa-oh")
Whoa oh oh oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I'm sorry but that's all I have and it's killing me.
