Uh this might be a longshot but does anyone recognize the tune in this? https://www.instagram.com/p/1Ugz-Fr-mj/ Sounds like it might not be in English which makes lyric identification near impossible.

I played in the pit in high school, and my senior year we did one that I can't remember the name of. It was all Gershwin tunes, but I believe it was assembled posthumously. I know "They Can't Take That Away From Me" was in it, and I'm pretty sure it had "Someone to Watch Over Me" as well. I believe the plot involved a composer from out east and his apprentice or something. The apprentice went west and convinced the people in whatever town he landed in that he was the composer. Anyone have any ideas?

I remember seeing a video on Deadspin or a similar site a couple of years ago that featured a couple of androgynous 20 somethings discovering their sexuality in a dilapidated old house. I liked the tune but haven't been able to find it again.

I myself need some help. I've been trying to upgrade and properly purchase the music of my younger years, but I can't seem to find this specific remix of Gorillaz's 'On Melancholy Hill': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17P5s_hAF0A Please give it a listen and let me know if you know which remix this is. I looked to see if I could piece it together from the original (since it's only the same chunk repeated 3 times), but that's not possible with the vocals fading beyond the 'start point' of the sample, and vocaloid effects where the remix has none. Thanks!

Chef Boyardeez Nuts posted:Now I want to take some shots at this because this was right up my alley when I was spinning for the world most milquetoast AAC radio station: Thanks for the guesses. Dexter Freebish - Leaving Town has some of the right catchy-yet-bland vibe, Dracula From Houston has the right kind of vocals (except for the backing vocals - I don't think the mystery song has any), and the hook in James - Laid has some similarities (though too up-front). But otherwise, these are missing the mark. In general, too obscure, too indie, too emotional, too edgy. The mystery song is like a dance song that has generic rock rhythm guitar and isn't really that danceable. It's VERY easy on the ears. Absolute perfect mall/supermarket music. In fact, here's a song I recently heard in a supermarket that has the exact same overproduced, bland vibe, and similar (though even MORE disinterested) vocals. Aside from Big Shiny Tunes, here's another relevant compilation series from Canada. On that first release, Edwyn Collins - A Girl Like You has a lot of similarities, though a touch too loud and busy. Tomero_the_Great posted:I was going to guess 'Steal My Sunshine'. None of these either. The singer is more mature than most of them, and there's no acoustic guitar or horn section. I can at least say that Theory Of A Deadman - Make Up Your Mind does check the box of "you've heard it everywhere but probably can't put a name to it".

When I say "obscure", I mean stuff that charted very low, got very limited airplay, and never got a foothold in the larger listening consciousness, regardless of country. I highly doubt this is the case for the mystery song, which I recall hearing quite often. Unfortunately, I can't narrow down the time period any more than after 1995 and before 2006.

I gave up on Mr. Canada a long time ago when it was apparent it was going to take a lucky guess. And if it's lucky guessing, the OP can do the searching himself since he's the one who knows what it sounds like, not me.

I'd be happy to clear up any supposed contradictions. Just point them out.  It's definitely not Radiohead. The singer's nowhere near that wimpy. Here's an example of people not following my instructions. Please stop suggesting songs with acoustic guitar, clean guitar, or lead guitar. The song is nothing more than a single, disinterested adult male vocalist, a dance-esque drumbeat, and rock rhythm guitar, with polished production. I understand how broad this is, but I warned you at the beginning. I highly suggest focusing only on songs that are bland aside from a very hooky chorus. No song I've heard during this process has a closer vibe than Big Sugar - Diggin' A Hole. All it needs is clean, weaker vocals and a bit of smoothing off the edges. I have no use for a microphone on my computer aside from VERY occasional moments like this. Besides, I can't recall the melody exactly. I know of no other like it, though.

sing it into your phone some half-remembered poo poo is way more useful than nothing also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjZqgk6FEyw&t=492s at this point the video for this song (back in the day when music videos meant $10 mil spent on a miniature action movie) breaks down into a dance sequence, but it's an entirely different song. Anyone recognize it? Was it cut just for the video?

That's what I'd almost hoped, since I could re-cut the original song myself but unfortunately there's enough small differences to make that difficult. If some fan put it together they must have added the "splash" effects to mask their cuts. Edit: It won't match Synthetic Hermit's criteria, but I'm going to guess Marcy Playground - Sex And Candy anyways.

I need it to identify a song that is not listed in their playlist because it was a background song during one of their breaks. I know the most recent one is available for play online, but I am looking for an episode from a month ago. Finally identified the song. It was Boards of Canada - Dayvan Cowboy.

Sorry about this since it's more Canadiana bullshit, but I'm looking for two songs from at least 3 years ago that used to be played regularly on CBC Radio 3. I only know a set of lyrics from each of them. The first one is "Never going to get out of this house, you win." The second is "I want to break your back and leave you paralyzed." I think the song title of this one is Paralyzed? It's from some no-name person with two independent LP's under their belt at best. Google is useless for both of these unless I'm just searching completely incompetently. The second one is going to be super unknown, but the first might actually be someone with more than one (canadian indie) hit.
