Argh, now I'm stuck trying to figure out what it is. Sounds a little more like Cetera than Gabriel, though. Maybe I'm hallucinating.

Edit : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gj9HiIrsuEY&feature=related Yay! ;)

And harder, a Latin American rock song, at least 5 years old, I can't remember any of the words because it was in spanish, maybe something to do with fire. I would describe it as "anthemic" totally useless description I know, I heard it in Costa Rica.

This is driving me goddamn crazy.

During the summer I was listening to some sort of either mashup or fabriclive/mix/mixtape style thing. I know I listened to it quite a few times and enjoyed it, at one point Adele's Rolling in the Deep is mixed against what I believe may have been something by Hot Chip but I can't be sure.

One night in september we were drinking and playing croquet in my friend's back yard (as you would) when Rolling in the Deep came on the radio - I'd never heard it before and made some big show of "Holy poo poo! I know this from ______".

The next day I went to listen to that mix where I'd originally heard it and came up stumped, despite yelling about it loudly the night before. I've now wasted countless hours over the last few months looking for this song when it occasionally annoys the hell out of me that I can't remember - I've skimmed my whole music collection multiple times and nothing.

Someone help me before I lose my goddamn mind, forums upgrade of choice for whoever figures out what I'm rambling about.

This request is kinda specific and you have to know Victor Jara, but does anyone know what song is playing at the beginning of this video until about one minute in? I have most of his discography but I can't find this song.

Never mind, found it. It's called Canción del minero, for the curious

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I've seen this movie a thousand times, so I can't believe I didn't realize it before.

This is a slightly backwards one... the chorus of Somebody That I Used to Know by Gotye reminds me heavily of an old song from the 70s or 80s. I keep thinking Peter Gabriel, but I can't place it. Does anyone else get deja vu?

edit: it's not a general thing, it's the chord change/melody specifically.

Sounds a lot like a Kate Bush arrangement, possibly Cloudbusting?

I was pretty severely inebriated in public a few years ago and one song has stuck with me since then. It was a mostly instrumental surf-rock-ska-punk thing and what may have been the only lyric (or the only one I can recall at least) was every so often the song would pause and someone would say the word "TARANTULA!" and it would start up again. Any ideas?

I find that the chords, along with the vocal melody at the start of the first verse, are vaguely similar to Peter Gabriel's Games Without Frontiers. Specifically, the introduction with Kate Bush singing 'jeux sans frontiers'.

Edit: Just read your post properly. The chorus doesn't fit with this at all sorry.

I was listening to a radio station passing through a city and they had the "greatest from the 60-70's" and I head a song that was all keyboard/synth. I have no idea how to describe it but I figure there weren't that many of that type that would be considered "greatest hits".

It was kind of techno or something, there's no way to search for this in google that I can think of.

Wanna just rule this one out quickly, The Aquabats - Tarantula:

It has actual verses and doesn't really have Tarantula in a "TEQUILA!" sort of way, but it could vaguely be what you describe.

What's worse is that I think I recall the song you're thinking of but I'm completely blanking on it.

For gently caress's sake. Look at the comments on that video.

@EuphrasieF Obviously your brain is asleep. Go watch Eisenhower's farewell address speech and pay very very close attention to the part about the military industrial complex. Then watch the Kennedy speech about liberty and the secret society he gave when he announced he was having the treasury start to coin US dollars again. Kennedy was giving the country back to the people whom it belongs to and for that he took a 30.06 to the forehead that blew his temporal/parietal region out.

I'm going to guess "Oxygene IV" by Jean Michel Jarre: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_I2ch8_TXc

It essentially brought that sort of stuff into the mainstream in the seventies and was a sizable hit.

Wikipedia posted:


Live and cover versions

"Lucifer Sam" was only performed live by Pink Floyd in 1967[5] and featured as an encore during many performances, mostly notably at the Games for May concert.

The Lightning Seeds covered the song as a B-side to their 1992 single "Sense"; it also appeared on their 2006 best of collection.

Neils Children released a limited edition 7" single featuring a cover of "Lucifer Sam" in tribute to Syd after his death.

The track has also been covered by the Black Crowes, Electric Hellfire Club, The Minders, The Flaming Lips, True West, Jay Farrar, Love and Rockets, Voivod, Shockabilly, The Sadies, The Three O'Clock, MGMT, and Spirits in the Sky.

I'm sure the version you're looking for is done by one of those bands!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tr-eZdcXbBs

one clip of the song plays between 0:53 and 0:57 and another from 3:57 to 4:01. There might be more clips, but I couldn't watch the movie any longer than that. Thanks for the help!

I have this feeling I should really know what the song is, but I just can't dredge it up. Where do the vocals from http://soundcloud.com/jfbdj/jfb-past-from-the-blast come from? Vocals start 27 seconds in.

In the movie "The Holiday", a song plays while Kate Winslet gets out of bed while she is staying in Cameron Diaz's house, about halfway through the film. As she wakes up, she pushes Cameron's cd player and a loud rock song with what I can remember to be the first words as "Wake up!" and then a rock riff. I looked at the soundtrack for the cd and got nothing, and want to set this as my own wakeup alarm. Halp!

Jet - Are You Gonna Be My Girl

It doesn't have the words "wake up" in it but it's definitely the song that plays when kate hits the CD player as she wakes up.

I am usually good at remembering songs stuck in my head but this one has been plaguing me for days and I can never remember enough of it to actually look it up or remember. The clip in my head is near the end of the song, with this woman (black gospel style-ish) singing "amen" in a long drawn out way, like ameeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnn, several time. I know the song is slowish and downbeat, and I'm pretty sure its usually a male singer. As far as I know it's not a religiously affiliated song, just has that sample. It is most likely from indie electronic or metal genre as that is most of my collection.

This is driving me crazy, because I keep catching myself singing the amen part. Please help me and thank you if anyone has the magical ability to pull out something useful from this useless description.

I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I've had zero luck trying to figure it out otherwise.

A few years ago I heard this fun song during a musical revue. It was something reminiscient of a showtune. It might have actually been a showtune, but I haven't heard it in a show I've seen. It's a simple talk singing style of song.

My memory isn't exact, but as I recall the gist of the song is of a humorous usage of the names of various towns in America with suggestive names. The man singing tells of a story about his love of a town, but then he drives all about to other towns with names indicating various salacious themes or actions. Eventually he grows tired of it all and returns to the town where he began.

I know this is kind of vague, but it would be awesome if anyone can recall what it is I'm thinking of. Been driving me crazy.
