There's a song I'd heard on one of my local stations for a while now but I could never get a hold on the artist. It had lots of piano, despite being on a classic rock station. All I can remember of the lyrics was a small bit that went something like "I never dreamed, I never thought..." or maybe it was "I never thought, I never knew...", my memory's really fuzzy, but I've always wanted to know what the song was.

It's not classic rock, but this sounds like "Over My Head" by The Fray to me.

Ok so this is a long shot. I can remember the music video, mostly. It's about a guy who works at a grocery store, and he falls in love with a girl whos in the check out line- "Clean up" or something like that?

Songs from the early 2000's.

Foo Fighters Song, I'm 99% sure.

It is reminiscent of their song "Walk", where there is a lot of yelling/talking in the midway/latter half, but it's not "I'm never gonna die! I'm never gonna die!" etc. It is a long, unbroken string of yelling that I just love hearing, but I for the love of dog in me cannot figure out which song it is. It has gotten radioplay as recently as last week here in southern California, so it is... popular? I dunno. I just need to figure this song out!

I hope you're not thinking of the late 2000's Michael Buble sickly pop thing "Haven't Met You Yet" (or I guess Bad Lip Reading's version). The video is kind of supermarket focused, although cleaning doesn't enter into it and I think he's shopping instead of working.

"Monkey Wrench" has a long segment like this and was a popular single. So, maybe?

Not Michael buble

The chorus has a phrase spoken over the store intercom.

The song came out in 2000-2001. I know because I had it from Napster and put it on my 16mb memory card for my RCA mp3 player

My friend is looking for a song. He can't identify the genre it is, but some of the lyrics go like this:

"The facts that are sitting there are impossible to count and the way to heaven for free, black me"

"I don't have to put up and say I was insane"

"Who gives a gently caress if it was a meterosexual"

I'm sorry if this is too generic to identify but it's killing me.

What's that song that goes "Ooh ma me Oh mymy [something] here [something] here"? I remember it was in the third generation of Skins if that helps.

I know it was a popular song a while back which is why I feel dumb as hell for not knowing what it is.

Thanks! How did you find it with Google, by the way? I tried doing advanced search, but I couldn't find anything.

Edit: Never mind. He was only right on the "metrosexual" line, so I couldn't find it because it was wrong. Googling the correct line got me it instantly.

Ta gueule, laisse-moi finir.
I need help with a song that I heard sometime around 2006-2007. Indie-ish, guy singing, pretty slow and a little bit melancholic, sort of sounds like a Beirut song in my head. I remember the chorus as being:

quote:

The altitude's too high to broadcast tonight
La la la la
How close we are, how far we are now
Put your ear to the (?), can't you hear, hear the sound

All I can find using those lyrics is a post from 2005 asking about the same song.

Here's something obscure for you:

Don't ask me how I came across the video, but I was much more interested in the music by the time it was over. I have no idea if this is something made in-house, comes from a trailer music company, or comes from a game. Any help would be appreciated. The song is in this video:

The Brian Williams Gin and Juice cover is going around the internets these days, but I remember there was another Gin and Juice cover with the voice of a news personality whose name escapes me at the moment. I think it was made by a goon, but probably at least 5-10 years ago. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Edit - Of course I find it right after posting, it was "Ted Koppel", made by darthpunk.

If I can get help identifying two songs.

First, there's this song that plays over the radio at work and it sounds like it's a mix of Cee Lo Green's "Cry Baby", but to a faster beat with a female singer. I've tried looking up "Cry Baby Remix" and all that comes up are the mixes on the single.

Second song is an older sounding tune with sort of a disco beat and with what little I can identify the chorus as it's something like "LADY, PRETTY LADY!"

I'm not music savvy but I thought it has almost a surfboard sound to it or something, but I've been struggling to find something for awhile.

It's more of the big guitar sound of the early to mid-80's, in that spot after 70's metal but before the glam/hair bands of the late 80's.

Check out any of Van Halen's early stuff pre-1986 (Ain't Talkin Bout Love sounds a lot like Big City Nights), Boston's Don't Look Back album, Dio, early Bon Jovi, late Deep Purple, early Def Leppard, Whitesnake.

There's an oldies song from the 50s/60s I'm having trouble identifying. It has a male singer (don't know if it's a band or a solo act), and the most distinctive part is that there's what sounds like a lot of whistling in the chorus. In terms of lyrics, the only part I can remember is a bit that goes "aaaaaaaand nowwwwww, you ...." with a guitar being played in the background. It sounds kind of like Cathy's Clown by the Everly Brothers.

Heard this on Canadian radio, lyrics aren't online but found a couple people tweeting snippets to confirm it's a real song.
It's R&B/hip hip, has easy piano-synth backing,

Chorus sung by same single dude each time, goes:
"Hey girl... how you doing...baby won't you come on over. Ooh I wanna give it to ya, touch your body in all the right places."
"Baby you're a good girl, you're a good girl... you're good"

Between the above it rotates different guys rapping about the chick getting all up on it.
I think the song may be called Good Girl, but that's no help apparently.


It's one of two things, I believe:

"Hold On We're Going Home" By Drake and Majid Jordan

"Blurred Lines" By Robin Thicke (I believe there might be a remix with some rap verses on it but I might be off)

Edit: Almost positive it's Drake.

Definitely not Drake or Thicke, randomly caught the end of the song again on the radio, had my phone handy to record a bit.
My girlfriend thinks she recognizes the backing music as some sampling from a 90s song, but not that I know of,

goodgirl? track

Fuzzed out garage rock song a la Ty Segall, the Reatards or The Black Lips (mostly sounded like Ty Segall actually) that I heard on a radio station today that was playing other music that you might find on Sirius XMU. Had a chorus intro that was a full two beat pause followed by a four-on-the-floor guitar chord intro to the chorus that was just the same note played like eight times and then a short riff before drums/vocals joined. I remember it being a pretty popular single on Pitchfork-like stations as recently as last summer, I think. Any help?

I'm looking for a hip hop song that's at least a few years old. It has a really dramatic orchestral/choral intro that sounds sort of like o fortuna but I don't think that's actually what it is. The lyrics are all about angels and demons and stuff like that, and I think its a pretty short song.
