Yeah, it's Futurama. Somehow because that song ends so abruptly my brain inserted the vocalizations from Space Ghost.

"Carbons? Purge? What are you talking about?!"

It's worth noting that the Futurama theme song is pretty much straight ripped-off from Psyche Rock by Pierre Henry without any attribution whatsoever.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

There's a song I remember but can't find in my Pandora thumbs up and anything I put into YouTube isn't working. Its a metal song about the black death that has some lines like "raise up the bridges" and "bossman coming through." The start of the song has audio that sounds echoy until they plug in the guitar. I'm pretty sure it was part of my Heavy Metal or Dragonforce playlists.

For reasons* I just listened to this song from a 1991 album - and there's a harmonica(?) part at 1:34 that sounds extremely familiar for about five notes before trailing off in a different direction - any guesses?

the main synth melody of this part of the song from Doom Patrol is reminding me of a hook from a 90s(ish) era hiphop or r&b song, but i can't for the life of me remember the actual song. The hook is half sung/half spoken, and i think it starts with "I know you".

This almost certainly isn't it, but best to narrow things down.

This is a real reach because I can’t remember a lot of details about this song, but here goes: female vocalist, Italian or Spanish, 40’s, 50’s, early 60’s? Black and white footage in a dark maybe tropical themed bar. I have the vague impression that the song was about zombies or voodoo. Upbeat and cheerful with the main theme picked out on a marimba or similar instrument. The singer may have been flanked by a pair of African/Caribbean dancers in “native” costumes.

I think there's a strange scene in either White Zombie or I Walked With A Zombie where something like that happens but I haven't seen either in like 20 years. Somebody basically comes in singing the entire plot of the film.

Near the end of the album version of Mother People (from We're Only In It For The Money), there's a brief instrumental interlude that references another Zappa song. This is where it begins, if I'm not being clear:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffZ4aOXcGR8&t=104s

What is the name of the song being referenced? I'm having trouble finding information on it.

I can at least confirm that it also appears about 13 minutes into Part One on Lumpy Gravy - but poking around in the World's Greatest Sinner soundtrack didn't immediately find anything entirely similar.

Except for the very first notes of Alphaville's "Sounds Like A Melody"[Indented 5 seconds to pinpoint the sample, and to avoid the before-mentioned first notes], I'm hoping to get help identifying in which song(s) the hook/riff been used as a sample.

And no, it isn't Cappella's "U Got 2 Let the Music" which has it sampled throughout.
Turns out it was "Always" by Erasure, and I rediscovered it some years ago because of the endless runner with the rainbow unicorn.

This song feels like 1980s production. It has an extended piano intro. Background singers sing "think it over" or "gotta think it over" as part of the chorus, which might have strings in the mix. I heard it on the radio and I can't place it.

It is not Think It Over by: Delfonics, Cissy Houston, Chris Rea or The Cars.

Male or female background singers? Distant or loud chorus? Upbeat or slow tempo?

Sorry, you probably already ruled this out, but... It's not any one of the many versions of 'Stop! In The Name Of Love', is it? That has 'think it over' repeated in the chorus

And now I've lost the tune in my head. I think it's a male vocalist. Chorus could also contain female vocalists. The think it over part was kind of a background in the chorus. I want to say there is a woodwind in the mix, too.

Killingyouguy! posted:

Nope, not that. It was a classic rock station and I'm 99% sure it was one that is 1970s-80s. Definitely a softer song, not even nearly as hard as anything The Supremes did. Nothing electronic in the sound, unless maybe the strings were a synth.

This may be unanswerable at this point because I can't cue it back up in my head.

I'm pretty sure I know what it is, but can't place it. I can hear that part in my head and they acscend on "think it" then stretch out "over" into three syllables on a descending run.

Or maybe I'm just thinking of the first verse of, "I want to know what love is" by Foreigner.

edit: I was thinking of "Stop in the Name of Love" which has already been ruled out.

Also tossing out, "Don't dream it's over" by Crowded House.

None of these. There was an extended piano intro with this song.

Also eliminated songs named Think It Over or It's Over by: Cheryl Ladd, Boz Scaggs, ELO, Teddy Pendergrass, Loverboy, Uriah Heep, Cameo, Dan Seals, Starship.

It's a very mid-1980s feel with the piano intro and was about as hard rock as Bruce Hornsby's The Way It Is, with the chorus only picking up slightly. (The song is definitely not The Way It Is.)

Here's a tricky one. I'm looking for a mandarin pop song with guitar and male vocals that has the line "hao bu hao, hao bu hao, hao bu hao *something something* bu zhi dao"

It's been many, many years since I last heard it. If I had to guess when it came out, I'd say maybe 2009ish, give or take a couple years. I thought it was by Crowd Lu but I can't seem to find it :( it was a great song iirc!

(also it's kinda obvious but it's definitely not by Eric chou)
