WTF?
I've got a fusion/jazz track that I can't figure out what it is. It's labeled as "Who Needs Love" by Incognito, but I can only find an album by that group with that name. There's a lot of scatting, but the chorus does include the line "who needs love". There's also a trombone solo and the last section sounds like the singer might be using a vox box a little. Does anyone have any idea what this is?

I'm trying to recall a female vocalist who sang in a 40s-50s pop jazz style. Her songs were kinda tounge-in-cheek. I think she was active around 2010ish. I remember one of her albums had her in a red pea coat or maybe with a red umbrella.

I'm watching Maniac Cop 2 and want to find the song that plays in the second strip club scene where the lady punches out the Serpico lookin' motherfucker.

Lyric bit that I caught are "the stars are shining extra bright tonight" and "intuition keeps on telling me". Google hasn't been helping much.

Here's the scene on youtube

Going by the lyrics in the script here and IMDB, it's "Message From Above", written by Gary McLaughlin. I can't find a separate recording of it, though - the OST is just the electronic score and the credits rap.

EDIT - it appears that the only non-OST song that has a clear recording available is "Children of the Night". Other people in that song's YT comments also would like to hear a clear version of "Message From Above".

Looking for the name a song I just heard on the radio about a woman dating an elderly man.

Chorus was like “he waited to long and I’ve waited long enough”, it says love is love and age is just a number, talks about them having ten years and 20 if they are lucky. Mentions he moved into a furnished apartment and that they could move together to Vermont. Lots about how his hair is gray but he looked like James dean when he was young. Just a lady being very horny for a seemingly quiet elderly man

The lyrics seemed weird as heck but it wasn’t obviously a parody song, it had a sad slow tone and was lyrics heavy, I don’t know what station it was on but since I caught it scanning stations country or Christian seems possible.

So I have a weird sorta situation, where I HAVE the song in question, but cannot find ANY information on it's existence or who even made it. The file info says "Funk VA - Funkalicious" and the main refrain is "Super Duper Funkalistic DJ you're the dopest, move your body to the beat if you want to get noticed. And if you say it loud enough, the party gets ferocious. Super duper funkalistic DJ you're the dopest"

No matter what I've tried over the years, I've been unable to find any source for it. Which is INCREDIBLY worrying, since if I ever lose this MP3 it's just gone. Anybody got any ideas on this? I'm willing to upload it if needed to help better identify it. I know that might be :filez: but in this case it may be the only way to find the source.

Regarding Dino chat: I remember in the early 90s, in primary school, an educational song about the different ways people thought the dinosaurs died. I've actually tried to find it a few times, with no luck. I can still remember some of the lyrics:

Chorus:
What killed the dinosaurs?
Does anybody know?
They were here for such a time
Oh where, oh where'd they go?
I didn't see them vanish
I didn't see them flee
What killed the dinosaurs?
Won't you please tell meeeee

Verse:
Some say it was because
A comet passed close by
Raining harmful radiation
Down from the sky.
Was it really so?
Oh where, oh where'd they go?

*kazoo solo that I can still remember somehow*

Anyone got a clue on the title or where it came from?

I have the beginnings of a song stuck in my head and I'm hyperfocusing on it and I'm 98% it's a DJ Shadow song and I tried to look it up by his albums and on YouTube but nothing's coming up!
The beginning starts with the UK ringtone of "doodoo...doodoo" and then the song instrumentals start.
All I remember about the lyrics is a jumbled (and this will be inaccurate wording because I have a crap memory so if the wording sounds weird that's the closest I can remember) "Come little lady get your shine on, lick your ____, and wanna be the one that comes to taste you, so cool, alive".
Help me find the song maybe?

I know DJ Shadow's stuff (though admittedly didn't listen to The Outsider that much) but none of this sounds right

So I know the song name... it's called "Color Climax" (because it features a backing track and uh... dialog from one a pornographic movie)

I can't remember the band. May have been Mr.Bungle or Primus... definitely of that ilk. (It's NOT "Girls of Porn" by Bungle). Pretty sure it was a bonus or hidden track at the end of an album.

Google search has been giving me nothing.

Don't ask me about the lyrics, because I don't think there was any... Pepsi gets a mention in the dialog though.

I'm trying to remember a novelty/comedy song I heard once in the late 80's or early 90s.

The song is a minimalist beat with a man narrating a strange day over the top. The chorus is him telling you about a phone call he receives, where the person on the other end is talking in a language he doesn't understand. He repeats a string of nonsense words ('ooo boppa siggi boppa un sin bow' or something). I can't remember any details about the song except the rhythm and general words of the nonsense chorus. This has been stuck in my head for literally three decades.

I may be veering a little far into "suggest any novelty song with gibberish lyrics" territory here, it's hardly a perfect match, but memories can twist over the course of 30 years...any chance this is "Shoop Shoop Diddy Wop Cumma Cumma Wang Dang" by Monte Video and The Cassettes?

Wow, I have not kept up with this thread since the beginning of 2013 and I have the audacity to come asking for help now? Typical. Glad I could solve a problem with my return though.

Anyway, I have been trying to figure out this song for over 25 years at this point, please enjoy terrible phone recording of terrible tape recording I just finally tracked down

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4K0l_SMZ9E

The worst part is that I first heard this song when a friend let me borrow some professional techno compilation, so if I had written down the artist name rather than just writing "KINGS!!!" on the tape things would be so much simpler.

This song was almost certainly released before 1993, as the 1993-1994 year was the only one we were in school together and hanging out. For a long time I thought it was off "Rave 'Til Dawn," but I looked at that Discogs entry ages ago and listened to the songs and that was not right (I should have known it was not right as there is nothing rave about this track anyway). It was definitely on a different compilation that someone who had Rave 'Til Dawn would have also had. Yeah, very specific. But there cannot possibly be THAT many techno compilations from the early 1990s! ... !! ahahahha yeah probably like hundreds I know

The other album this person loaned me was Information Society's "Peace & Love, Inc." if that somehow helps jog any memories in any possible way

I even thought it was the last track on a compilation, so I am excited as to how very close I came to remembering everything except "Dante." Hah. Though even searching "Dante Kings song" is not enough to get an immediate hit thanks to the existence of someone named Dante King, so I would have had to be 100% sure I remembered everything to find it independently.
