I heard some garage punk song in a record store, but I didn't ask the clerk what band it was, because I didn't want to seem uncool. The lyrics go something like: Spring break, MTV [something something] Back of the bus Joe got on And started to cuss Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

This is a song I've heard a couple of times on a local classic rock station. It has a sad gritty blues feel very similar to Robin Trower's "Bridge of Sighs", but a little more 4/4 upbeat sounding. The singer's voice is also very similar to someone like Robin Trower or Joe Cocker. The lyrics to what I assume the chorus is [something that rhymes with "give it away"] hey [something something something] Give it awaaay Coming back tomorrow just like today and then a part of one of the verses that I could make out: Take a second, baby, everybody's learning to breathe. I was at work and on a call when the song came on the radio, so I didn't get a chance to write down any of the other lyrics. I figured with that much, it would pop right up on a google search, but no luck at all.

Whats the name of The Stripper Music? I'm talking about the brassy theme that plays on a tv show whenever theres a striptease, its typically used for comedy more than anything else.

I have a friend asking for help identifying a song she heard last week, and I've hit a wall. Here's what she's told me:quote:Had the same beat as "Crimson & Clover." I don't listen to much indie music so I'm sure I'm missing something.

This is not so much identifying a specific song but a genre. This is a short film from the 1980s. I'd like to know what the style of music is called, if there is a term for it. Very upbeat, optimistic, hopeful tune.

I just woke up with this song in my head, and I could have sworn it was a Tegan and Sara song, but now I'm not even sure if it's a real song at all. The only thing I have is the chorus, which goes "Relax, ___ __ ___ _____, (sounds like "on/'bout me and you") I've got, A pocket for two." Commas indicate rhythm/line breaks. The voice sounded like a cross between Tegan or Sara and the girl from the Knife. Is this a real song, or am I channeling some sort of muse during my naps?

It was done as a special track by the people who made the video, The Cana Family. Perhaps you should email Drew Barefoot, the guy who wrote the track, and ask if you can buy it?

I was watching SNL last night that had host Ben Affleck and musical guest Kanye West. There was a commercial for a new Lonely Island album entitled "The Wack Album". The commercial promoted a song where Andy Samberg was spelling out his name but what he was spelling was obnoxiously long. I thought it was catchy and looked it up. Couldn't find a thing. Anybody know what Lonely Island song I'm referring to?

Slightly different angle on the thread, but I'm trying to identify a specific dance move and (if any) what song it's specifically associated with. I'm reasonably sure it's not just a funny motion, but a specific novelty dance move. It's the one that involves shuffling/bouncing side to side with the elbows cocked and bobbing the head side to side, looks vaguely almost like some kind of Irish traditional thing. I ask because it's in the background of the video for "Boombox" by Lonely Island, the dance the NYPD cop in the middle is doing right around 1:08 in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yvEYKRF5IA&t=1s

I wonder if anybody would be so kind as to identify this (just a short mp3 snippet - hope I'm not breaking any rules here)? A friend has had the song kicking around for ages and has absolutely no idea the band or song title. Even just knowing who the band is would be massively helpful!

So there's this song, I must have heard it when I was 8 or 9 (so late 90s). It was a UK dance channel type song with a Chinese melody in the background. The music video featured (I think) a sumo wrestler, a cowboy and maybe a kung fu fighter. I know the melody but I seriously doubt anyone's going to get this. I've been looking for it for the past 8 years and no luck so far. edit: Even if you don't know it, how the hell do I find it? I was thinking of listening to every UK dance compilation CD from 1997-2003. Good idea? asap-salafi fucked around with this message at 12:57 on May 25, 2013 |

What was that pop song by a young female vocalist, US, ca 2005? Most of the music video was of her on the school bus, with the story being that her boyfriend hosed up, how she doesn't want to see him anymore, etc.? I think she had an Italian-sounding name.

I heard this song while working the other day and it reminded me that I had heard it before as a kid and it's gonna bug the poo poo out of me if I don't figure out what it is. It's got a smooth flow to it, I feel like I've heard it in a movie before too, most likely a basketball one. The song has a very slow tempo to it and it goes "Duhnuh *beat* duhnuh *beat* duhhhhhnuhnuhnuh" if I were to try to transcribe the main beat. It's hard for me to describe it especially because there are no lyrics.

Ninja fetus posted:Not sure which ones exactly. But they sound like they are from the Analord EP's. Holy poo poo thanks! Awesome I have another song I really want to find, but I only remember the music video. It had a black woman being driven around a city in a taxi while looking out the window and singing. Pretty sure it was by a non-American group. Finally, I’ll repost the other song I was looking for: Also, I heard another song at H&M about 2 months ago. It had an upbeat instrumental part [with a strong beat] and then a male voice came in and started rapping. The lyrics went something like this: "show them what you got" "make it easy" "all the things (that?) you do" "yeah it's true" Google, iTunes, and YouTube have been unhelpful so far.

Might be a shot in the dark, but I've been trying to find the ID of this oddball, perhaps proto-italo-disco track, not really sure how to categorize it, might just be a re-edit of something, but either way I'm stumped. I've uploaded an excerpt here: http://www64.zippyshare.com/v/71040249/file.html

Rockapella. Everyone knows they sang that Carmen Sandiego song. But while they were actually on the TV Show, they sang various educational song parodies as well. One of these is stuck in my head, and I cannot find it anywhere. It was a parody of Billy Joel's "For the Longest Time", and the chorus went "Oooooooooh, there's more than seven seas..." repeat. And then in the verses, they'd name all the seas of the world. Heck, I've even looked for a torrent of the TV series to go through it episode by episode, but it seems that there isn't even one of those on the internet. The Rockapella website doesn't list any of the educational parodies they sang, nor does wikipedia. Can anyone help? Or did my fevered childhood mind invent this parody out of thin air?

From what I can tell, it ran in a feature called ACME Music Net Extra that would get tacked on after the credits on some season 2 episodes. A couple places specifically cite the episode The Case of the Little Boy Lost as having it, but the copies of the show online don't include it. Still, it should give you some sense of where to look.
