Trying to find a florence and the machine song. Might be off their new album but I'm not sure. Dont remember the lyrics but I know its a slower song and has an acoustic guitar in it. For those who have any musical ability, its in the key of D...I'm pretty sure the basic chord progression goes D, A, Bm, G...or it might be D, Bm, G, A. I'm not too sure

The deluxe edition of Ceremonials has acoustic versions of 3 songs, Heartlines, Shake It Out and Breaking Down. Maybe its one of them?

Naw sorry, those aren't the ones :/. I dont think its an acoustic rendition of one of her songs. The song already has an acoustic guitar in it I believe..

I'm looking for a song by (I think) Thomas Dybdahl with some sort of frantic, bizarre brass/woodwind playing on it. I've skimmed through all the Dybdahl on Youtube but can't find it... I'm sure it was by him (or at least the cafe owner said it was) but I must have missed this drat solo.

A friend of mine heard a song on our college radio (88.5 for Atlanta locals) and described it as having electronic instrumentation, talky-like lyrics that repeated a line involving "company" followed by "Oooh"s, and then a second half that was much more energetic. Can anybody help him out?

edit: It's Dance Yrself Clean by LCD Soundsystem.

Don't know the song, but couldn't you email the radio station? If it's college radio it'll likely be run by like three people (ie more likely to help you out).

It's a song by Tech N9ne, I think, and a sort of robotic woman's voice keeps saying "time." Or maybe it's "nine," my memory of it is pretty hazy. Anyone?

EDIT: Found it, it's called He's a Mental Giant. My mind is now at ease.

I'm looking for a song by "tooth ache.", a female downer punk/pop soloist. The lyrics I can remember are "My God fathered a bastard son, a bastard son/And my Jesus loves me when I carry a handgun" or something similar. Unfortunately Google has been useless. The problem is that there is a different indie group with a very similar sound that gets all my the results.

I already know the song but I am looking for a specific version of it.
Years ago I found Pärt's Fratres for Cellos on StumbleUpon, specifically this website. I checked the link again just now after being reminded about it and the song won't play. All of the links on the page are dead.
I tried doing a search for the same song, but everything I'm getting is different and not the exact version. This is the closest I can find, almost dead on, but the Columbia audio doesn't include piano, it is only violin and cello.
Please help? The song is very beautiful.

I'm looking for a music video, early 2000's.
The video features the band in front of this black Victorian wallpaper, and then there are different shots of each of them holding giant crayons up to the wall, the band member and and camera move together while wallpaper stays in place. Something like that, it was an interesting effect.
Don't remember any of the lyrics, but I think they sounded similar to the Strokes, the Hives, the... all those bands that were popular at the time.

There's a song on hip hop nation that I'm pretty sure is just called "Leanin" but I didn't pay attention fast enough to tell who the artist was and google searching just the word "leanin" doesn't exactly narrow down the search. Does anyone know the song/artist?

There's a jingle on the radio show Loveline, it's a punky guitar riff that plays during most of the bumpers leading into commercials, but I can never figure it out. When I hear it I'm listening to it on KROQ 106.7 in Los Angeles

It has no vocals, at least not in the bit they use

No, it was faster and the chorus was higher and went like "leanin, leanin, somethin- somethin- somethin- somethin- leanin..." or some such. Its not Wayne's Leanin Low, either.

Ages ago, I saw an amazing 8-10min clip of animated summaries of various famous operas. The art was very Terry Gilliam-esque with cutout figures moving jerkily and the narrator was a woman who delivered these summaries of all of these tragic operas in a very deadpan voice.

I believe I saw this on either Ovation or one of those public access/university sponsored networks (in the NY metro area.)

Anyone know where this might reside online?

So I think this song was popular in the 90s, but I'm not too sure. It's sung by a woman with a deep voice, kinda like Florence and the Machine, and the only words I know from it are "be my baby". Not much, but does anyone have any idea?

"The only thing peace accomplished was stagnation."


I was hobbling through the grocery store for a few forgotten items when I recognized the song that was playing. Rather, I recognized that I remember hearing it ages ago and liked it. Now the only lyric that I can remember is "And what did you get?" followed by a few more lyrics and then again with the "And what did you get?"

It's driving me goddamn crazy. Mashing the lyrics into google and youtube isn't yielding any results, so maybe I am misremembering the lyric? It sounded like a 90s song and was pretty upbeat, too.

what the fuck is half a fucking figure?!?!
I'm trying to find this band with male vocals, an overall low timbre, and low frequency drum machines (I don't remember any guitar being used). The drum machine sounded similar to the one used by Radiohead on Kid A. They weren't foremost an electronica band (it definitely wasn't techno/electro), just like a lyric-focused group (not rap) making headphone music.

I know this isn't much to go on, but the bar I was at last night was playing them and they were really good, but cellphone reception was poo poo in there and Shazam wouldn't hook me up.

I'm going to add to the growing number of unfulfilled requests, I'm looking for a song by someone who plays under their own name (so no band name, just the guy's name), who sounds to me like he's Scottish but it could be some other British accent. I'm almost certain the song name is something like 'My House' or 'This House'. It sounds sort of like Glasvegas but more acoustic and less shoegazey.

Edit: Never mind, I found it by looking at the history of the radio station I heard it on. It was Patrick Wolf - The City.

In the song "Diet Mtn Dew" by Lana Del Rey there is this subtle piano scale in the background that I swear sounds so similar to an old hip-hop beat/song possibly by warren g or one of those old school gangster rappers.. I really hope Im not just going crazy but does anybody have any clue as to what song it could be?

My kids have started watching a show called Johnny Test and the intro song is reminding me like crazy of something. (it's the s2 and later intro I found out, s1 is diff)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cq1CtEHphm4&feature=related

All over youtube/google people are saying it reminds them of Green Day - American Idiot but it's not that, it doesn't even really sound like it except for a distorted lead guitar that cuts out for the lyrics like in American Idiot.

What it's reminding me of for some reason I think it's a folksy type band, (with distorted guitars??) and a lot newer than American Idiot. The guitars would cut out like this for the lyrics in what I'm thinking of. Any ideas?


edit: huh. Wikipedia page for American Idiot says it was sampled for the Johnny Test song. maybe I'm a retard.

On a thread relative note, I'm trying to figure out a name of a song that I actually can't stand, but I feel like learning the name will give me closure. I can't describe it very well, except that it sounds like it sampled a bunch of pixies squealing or something, there were no apparent lyrics and it appeared briefly in an [adult swim] bumper a while back.

I know this is so incredibly vague that's it's almost a joke but I'm hoping that someone might just recognize what I'm talking about...

We were in a pizza place the other night and heard this song come on but couldn't easily identify the words to look it up- it's a female vocalist and the music itself was somewhat aggressive electronic stuff- kinda big, epic sound. The singer sounded more contemporary to me- not really like Florence or Zola Jesus, but not a pop singer either. I'm pretty sure the place was playing the Directv college rock channel, so I'm pretty sure it's something new and not really all that obscure- I've been looking at the college radio charts but I haven't found any matches.
