Tenterhooks posted:Aarrggh, this is gonna drive me crazy because I feel like I simultaneously know exactly the song you mean but also feel like it could be one of a billion vaguely similar songs from that era. It might be something by a band along the lines of The Cardigans or The Sundays but, more likely, a one-hit wonder (e.g. Kiss Me by Sixpence None The Richer but less famous). nope.

banned from Starbucks posted:This Lorde song Solar Power is driving me insane. It reminds me of a 90s alternative song I cant think of. (Not the George Michael stuff or the Primal Scream songs) It has the same type of acoustic guitar + talky whispery female vocal part intro. The only thing I can recommend is checking through Fiona Apple's and Tori Amos' singles catalogues from back then. Also, man, I still love that Tracy Bonham song

The "sooo-oooo-ooooo-lar powwwww-er" chorus sounds an awful lot to me like that part in Moby's "South Side," "hey [élan élan? THAT is the lyric? Wow]," but uh, not a female vocalist so who knows OH WAIT the disgusting Gwen Stefani duet remake; who knows, maybe this will at least help you narrow it down? Or could be it? Or could at least alert anyone unaware to the fact that there exists a version of this song without Gwen Stefani ruining it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5J23DIIrcqY&t=121s

Not a song, but a musical genre. It's an all-instrumental style using an ensemble consisting of what I can identify as violins (often playing pizzicato), flutes, clarinets, and oboes, with no bass or percussion. It has a bright and energetic sound, and, at least in my mind, is often associated with the zeitgeist of rapid technological development in the USA during the 1950s and 1960s. The original Sims game provides a few good examples in its soundtrack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=399YneFTwh0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObCgwGR__wE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SP4_Oz1U-NI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnKUyE2peDw What is this called?

I think "Light music" is probably what you're after. I don't know of a narrower description for that kind of pizzicato "Tomorrow's future - today!" stuff https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3UJsvVD6_g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTn4Z2LLu3U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkrih7G3aSA Fierce Brosnan fucked around with this message at 15:36 on Aug 24, 2021 |

Thanks! I suppose not that many people genuinely enjoy this musical style. It's like a weird half-way point between Rhapsody in Blue and elevator music. For some reason I find it really endearing, though. It makes me feel like I am cleaning the cleanest kitchen.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:I thought easy listening meant stuff like Neil Diamond? Definitely not Neil Diamond... Easy listening was a precursor to lounge and exotica, that kinda thing. Most famous guy in the style is Herb Alpert: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Z0pP8FqYvk But yes, light music seems to be closely intertwined with easy listening, and probably the better term for this specific stuff.

A related term that will get you the goods if you are into this kind of sometimes-mocked-but-utterly-amazingly-chill music: beautiful music. This used to be a fairly popular format for radio stations 50 years ago but there were only a handful of stations left last I checked, including one in rural Gibson City, Illinois, which I listened to religiously for years when driving through the area. Though sadly it changed recently to mostly standard 60s-70s oldies with only sporadic beautiful music  SiriusXM has a station too! "Escape!" Or "Spa" if beautiful music is too intense for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aDKDKhGnbA

sitting in a denny's, just heard this song very quietly from out of the kitchen, can't identify it eighties (maybe early nineties) dance track, male rapper on the verses, woman singing the hook, repeated bit of three orchestra hit samples (slightly delayed) the first two on the same note, the third a step down

Unfortunately the "male rapper verses and female vocal choruses" thing was done a lot in early 90s dance music. Does any of this sound familiar? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaTGrV58wec https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nm6DO_7px1I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xo3kp5BLF6Q

Erebus posted:Does any of this sound familiar? Yes, which is why I know it's not what I'm looking for. What I heard is definitely more of a mid-to-late-80s sound than the full-on 90s eurodance being linked here I just dug through an orchestra hit playlist and the closest thing on it was Janet Jackson's "When I Think of You" so it's way more in that Jimmy Jam/Terry Lewis mode than anything. This was literally on the far side of the room and I could barely hear it, so my mind's already playing tricks on me as to what I heard, but I'll keep digging around, see what I can come up with.

What's that Scandinavian patriotic rock song that might be from the 50s or 60s (black and white music video) with a really famous melody? Like Da, da, da da-da-da, da da da da da-da, da-da I think the song or band were named something like "Hela" Edit: found it.

I played tuba in the middle school band, and in 2001-2002, we played a song that featured a two measure tuba solo in the middle. So that's what I'm looking for: a song written/arranged before 2003, appropriate for second or third year band students, that has a very short tuba solo. It was a pretty slow and "regal" song, but that describes everything written for that grade level.

Halloween is coming up and i cant stop thinking about this specific music video. It was a rap song about getting your crew together in a cabin to face some threat (alluding to police) and everyone slow getting gunned down. The visuals was the lyrics flashing on the screen to the beat in pumpkin orange in 80's slasher film font.

it's a folky protesty kind of song, acoustic guitar and vocals iirc. the spoken word breakdown is about how the guy didn't want to plow one of his fields so he wrote a letter to his wife telling her that the guns were buried under that field. the fbi intercepted the letter and dug up the field looking for the guns

Does anyone know the name of this song? The song plays in this video at the timestamp: https://youtu.be/0L7xgsP06js?t=790 It's so familiar, but I can't remember what it's called or where it's from, and nothing recognizes it.  This is the only result whenever I do find something that thinks it knows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTdflz1F6-Y I highly doubt that's the original though.
