VolumeOverTalent posted:I was in a shop today and they were playing a cover of 'Don't Stop Til You Get Enough' by Michael Jackson, which was sung by a female vocalist, and was very chilled out and downtempo, but I cannot for the life of me find out who it was. It wasn't one of those dodgy compilations where they're too cheap to pay the royalties for the real songs, and it wasn't the versions by Shivaree or Melissa Forbes, I already tried those. Is it Snowblink? I can't find a copy of that song, but their version of Thriller sounds a bit like what you describe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZVzRPFyIrU

Found it, cheers for everyone's help though. The production wasn't quite how I remember it, but it's still a pretty good tune. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NE2OqifFbj8

OK I heard this song on the radio, I believe it's classic rock, Part of the lyrics were "Cry me a river", the person who was singing it was female. Now i've googled it and i find a song called "Cry me a river" but that isn't the song, it's too slow. That's the title, but i am looking for the lyrics. To me they sound like the BeeGees, they had that high pitched whine or whatever you call it. but I believe the person was female who was singing.

I've had the soundtrack for the documentary 180° South for a few months, but I just saw the actual movie and there were a bunch of songs in it that aren't the soundtrack, but I can't really find reference to them online. There was an Andrew Bird song and what sounded like M Ward and one that might have been Devendra Banhart. Anyone know which songs these were? I didn't catch any lyrics, but hopefully someone will know or have seen the movie.

Heard this song on a soft rock/adult contemporary radio station, the lyrics are something like "If this isn't love, I don't want to know" and it sounded like it was from the '80s, the chorus was G-Bm and then the notes descended F-E-D-C-A-B-C-D and back to the beginning of the chorus. EDIT: Found it, it's "If This Is It" by Huey Lewis & the News. CrumFUNist! fucked around with this message at 04:45 on Feb 14, 2011 |

There's a fairly old song/video I'm after but I don't remember title or artist other than the fact it's a male singer with a mellow voice; The music video is shoot in a slowed-down pace following a man raising/preparing a black and white dog (pretty sure it's a border collie) to be sent into space alá Laika, last shot is him crying in his car as the rocket leaves. Lyrics might contain a line close to "and now that you're gone" but my mind might be making it up. Fairly sure the theme of it is not actually related to space/Laika in any way at least.

I've been trying to figure out a song from a music video I've seen online. It basically follows two guys: one becomes like a corporate-backed dictator and the other becomes a protester against the regime. I think it was animated and in mostly black and white.

I heard this electro-clash song at a friend's house, it featured a robotic male voice and a very horny girl, and pong-style bleepbloops for the beat. She says things like "Oh baby give it to me" and "oh tiger, lay it on me", and at the end of the song he says he has a call on the other line and cuts her off. Anyone know this one?

Not searching for a song per se but for a thread in either NMD or Musician's Lounge: the title was something like "Songs with Odd/Misleading Time Signatures" or something and the main gist was that the songs started off with a melody or a riff whose "one" was difficult to grasp. Anyone remember this? It had Television's Marquee Moon in it.

I heard this song last night at a show in Brooklyn over the PA. It has an intro/riff with a similar tone/pentatonic tonality as Big Troubles' "Freudian Slips" [and no, it's not that Boo Radleys' song they ripped off for it]. The production was also very similar--so I'm thinking it's one of the modern bands in that vein--e.g. Weed Diamond, Reading Rainbow, Eternal Summers, etc. The chorus lyric was something like "All summer they..." but obviously it's pretty obscure so Google is useless. Judging by the aesthetic I'm almost certain it's Weed Diamond, but I can't find the song, and a lot of bands sound like this nowadays. Key points are ultra lo-fi production, reverb/delay on muffled vocals, and thick guitars as in the Troubles song/Weed Diamond's "Snowmelt."

Heard a song this morning when my alarm went off and now I can't remember it. It was older 80s/90s rock with a female singer, like Pat Benatar or Heart. The chorus was talking about breaking down barriers, and love like a tidal wave, but google is giving me nothing.

This one has been stuck with me for years and years, never got around to actually asking anyone about it so here it goes. Could of been a hard rock or heavy metal song, most likely 90's, most likely popular (though apparently not enough for me to ever figure out). All I can remember is the intro, it starts up with the male vocalist saying something in a slow monotone pitched down voice, sounds whispered and amplified to be hearable, and has a pretty heavy tremelo (or vibrato?) effect over it, there may have been a distorted guitar in the background. The part that gets me is I could never make out what he said, I always swore I heard 'vegemite'. Of course with the effect it was more like ve-ge-ge-ge-ge-mi-i-i-i-i-i-i-te. Anytime I hear an effect like that in a metal or rock song I always think back to this, and everytime it bugs the hell out of me.

Some time ago, someone linked me to this http://history.cookiethievery.com/053104/ and I've kept it in my favorites ever since. I can't look at it without my mood improving at least a little. However, every time I've tried to find the song that perfect loop is cut from I've come up empty handed. The lyrics (ha!) don't lend themselves well to internet search and there are apparently dozens of songs with various permutations of "Aww poo poo" as the title. Anyone recognize it?
