This thread worked great for me last time, so I'll try again. There was a Chinese pop band called "New Pants". Three dudes. They had a song that may have been called California, or may have just involved them going "ooooooh, California" repeatedly at the start of the song. It was definitely on YouTube when I saw it, you know, ten years ago or whatever. I can't find that song because, as you'd expect, with a band named New Pants, it's hard to Google. And I'm not actually that great at Googling things.

Late 90's - mid 200's TV show. It didn't run that long, but it ran somewhere in there. It follows a young guitarist/singer and who i remember to be his manager? Maybe agent? Record label rep? No idea. But I'm remembering the young guitarist to be John Mayer, and that's totally wrong. Pretty sure it was on Network television, and isn't Vinyl, Instant Star, or I'm With the Band. I can picture the manager actor, but he's b or c-list so hard to find. Dark hair, kind of a everyman/straight character who always does the same thing and was always in stuff but never mega famous. Any ideas?

By the way, the way I found this was by googling '"New Pants" band', finding a youtube video of the band, using the 'related videos' list to find a youtube channel that had a lot of the band's songs and then randomly clicking them and listening to the first 30 seconds of each video until I found the one you were looking for. The quotation marks around "New Pants" in the google search is the crucial step, that ensures that you only get hits with the exact phrase "New Pants" instead of 5000 random pages which just happen to feature the words 'new' and 'pants' somewhere

This is a slightly different kind of request, but I have been trying to figure out the ...background lyrics, I guess you would call them, sung along with the last chorus of this song forever. I can make out “Something inside you is” and then I can make a guess at a few more words, and I think it ends with “then we will find you,” but there’s a huge chunk in the middle that I cannot decipher. Every time I look up the lyrics it doesn’t include that part, and I’m not technically savvy enough to try and manipulate the song itself.

Best I can do is: something inside you is telling you try to break free of all that binds you and only then we can find you

Yeah I'd agree with those background lyrics. They are kinda quiet, layered and repeated on top of themselves, a bit like Courtney Taylor-Taylor's vocals which is what I was expecting from the description. Interesting, I don't think I've come across a song before that uses this technique where the layered lyrics aren't clearly audible elsewhere in the song.

'roni related sorta: a little while back (last few years) there was a very informative doc on mainstream UK TV (probably the BBC) about whvt happens when a virus invades a cell. It was presented in a slightly overdramatic way, british narrator had a Bill Nighy type voice (might even have been him but there's nothing on his IMDB), main attraction though was it went down to the molecular level and many of the visuals were blob-per-atom CG animations of the virus making it's way through the body/cell. Hard to search for virus documentaries right now but it was super interesting and informative and I'd like to watch it again

Blue Moonlight posted:In the early-to-mid-90s, I remember seeing part of something on TV that scared me. It was a TV show or movie, and there was something like a ghost trying to escape from being sealed inside a cistern or water tank. It banged on the metal door of it. Later on, it succeeded, and it killed someone it possessed by basically forcing them to get hit by a subway train. I finally solved this one! I decided I was going about it backwards, and decided to find the TV pilots show instead. After some searches about TV pilots aired as movies, I eventually came to Lee Goldberg’s “The Best TV Shows That Never Were,” a book that was later packaged as a one-hour TV special (viewable here). Midway through, they had a segment on the horror/thriller genre. And what’s there? A spirit possessing people and a guy ending up getting thrown in front of a subway car. It turns out I saw the 1995 NBC single airing of a pilot-turned-telemovie for The Omen. It’s easy to see why nobody would make the connection, since it literally has nothing to do with the film The Omen. You can check it out here if you’re interested in watching a potato-quality encode of a bad 90s show. Turns out my recollection was a little hazy, but pretty close. The ghost was trapped in a missile silo, not a cistern, and the ghost didn’t possess someone onto the subway tracks, but rather the hero pushed a ghost-possessed person onto the tracks where they were then electrocuted and hit by the train (the ghost got away, of course).

What a crazy ad. I bet they obtained the footage by... asking for a copy from the government's press agency Looong shot but I've got a earworm I can only remember the rhythm of, and I don't even have a mic to record that. I think it's a rhyme or tongue twister or something? I don't think there's a tune. In syllables it's something like, a fast but constant pace, where double fits two beats into it... Double double one double one one double Double double one - double one Alternate version in case I say those weirdly... carrot turnip peas lettuce milk pear apple orange parsnip grape - mango bean

It's reminding me of a TV ad jingle were they work the phone number into the song There was an Australian ad where the last line was "seven seven oh seven oh!" (or similar) which seems to fit the meter but I can't remember which company it was for

An amusement ride attraction from when I was a kid. I think little battleships floating on water would traverse a pool and another "side" would shoot at them with little cannons from land. They could shoot at each other. I think they were shooting tennis balls?

There was this toy I had as a kid. The toy itself was small, but portrayed some kind of giant tank thats armor split open to reveal something kinda like an aircraft carrier flight-deck. this "deck" then could spring up on little lever things. I think it was colored green camo.
