                  tell me...
Song is probably from the early or mid 80s - it’s a midtempo rock song where the chorus goes “Nobody something something” and then backing vox sing (nobody nobody). Lead vocals were definitely sung by a guy, backing vocals were higher but probably also a guy. It’s been stuck in my head all day.

The Isley Brothers did the original and George Thorogood covered in the 1980s.

One of the verses is a cover of The Joker by Steve Miller Band but I don't recognize who's singing it.

This is incidentally Bootsy Collins, on Fatboy Slim's version of the song.

Does it sound anything like the intro to Bound 2 by Kanye West?

It was a video on youtube that was titled some poo poo like 'cutest song in the world!!!!!!!!' or something and had an individual upload for each language the baked-in subtitles translated to, for such was the time period of youtube
The video was a CGI cartoon rabbit or something like that, sitting on a hill at night looking at the stars, and there were maybe fireflies or falling stars or some anime bullshit?
Song was a ballad in either Chinese or Japanese I think

I think it was the first instance of the youtube algorithm incessantly showing me some poo poo until I clicked on it. It must have had money behind it or something

"Bitcoin is a new financial concept entirely without precedent."
No combination of any googling has helped me find this song that's stuck in my head. The lead singer is a male with a gravelly voice and a southern accent. The chorus is something like, "Fire, fire fire fiiii-yahhh! Burning in the streets." and during the bridge he sings, "No they can't take your soul." I could have sworn the band's name or the song title had August or Georgia somewhere in it.

In the Courage the Cowardly Dog weird opera episode Ride of the Valkyries , when Courage is witnessing the forbidden love between the troll king and one of the Valkyries, there's an aria that goes like "please tell no one I love the troll king / please tell no one I love the Valkyrie." The tune itself is from a real aria. I know it's a Wagner piece, maybe from Tristan und Isolde, but i can't find which one.

Anyone with strong early-00s cartoon network knowledge + strong opera knowledge know what I'm talking about?

I know very little about Wagner but somebody more knowledgeable might be able to suss it out by listening to this for you versus trying to track down that specific episode:

Yeah I was trying to just figure it out myself but after struggling with buffering issues on the actual episode realized I was way out of my depth lmao. You might compare that to the music in What's Opera, Doc if you can find it, there could be some crossover there as it uses a lot of his work as well

What's Opera Doc owns but I don't believe this piece appears in it.

I'm positive I've heard the source of the opening 2 measures of that courage track, and it repeats and key shifts up a million times in typical Wagner fashion.

got a very tiny fragment of song stuck in my head, and I can't get to the rest of the song because my brain keeps kicking over to it's only rock & roll by the stones, which is definitely not it at all

it's some sort of rock-pop song, in straight rhythm or slightly swung, where at one point in the song, instead of the refrain being played like it is elsewhere, the drummer goes for a triplet fill on toms and the vocalist breaks up what they're singing so that tiny syllables of singing fit in between each drum hit

I'm scrambling for more than that. male vocalist. could be anywhere from 60s-today. it haunts me

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".

Found it! Via a chance encounter with Freaky Gurl by Gucci Mane (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P653nyX1quQ) which had the melody I remembered.

After some fruitless wikipedia work I found https://www.whosampled.com and tracked the melody back to it's original source.

It was Lick by Joi with Sleepy Brown

I appreciated the help, and wanted to come back with a success story.

I was so sure this was gonna be "Bang a Gong (Get It On)" cause that and "It's Only Rock 'n Roll" are basically the same song in my mind but I just listened to it and didn't notice that. Maybe that shakes something out of your memory?

We lied. We are not at war. There is no enemy. This is a rescue operation.
Just heard a song on the radio that my soundhound couldn't catch. Sounded like a really chaotic funk song with a drum machine rhythm going in the background, the only vocals I could catch was sort of James Brown-esque vocals shouting about "the saxophone is the most --- instrument" I thought maybe he said something about Christmas, but I'm not sure. The instrumental sounded *unhinged*, like James Brown at his funkiest crossed with the typical 80s high-gloss production. I thought maybe John Spencer Blues Explosion or Funkadelic, but I tried looking and none of their back catalogue hit. It's a *very* bizarre song. Came on the radio and I was in stiches from laughing because it was so unlike anything else that played on that station prior.

This isn't unhinged per se, but there's definitely some JB style funk and a ton of high-gloss production. Saxophone is mentioned once.

this is... really, really close. It might just be this and the radio station played a live version or something. I remember something about the "the saxophone is the instrument of Christmas" but I mean that might just be me misremembering. I'll go ahead and say the mystery is solved, because barring my misremembered bits it seems to be the same song.

Okay I’ve had no luck googling for this song but if I remember right it’s mid to late 2000s by a British band. The chorus goes something to the effect of “bring me coffee, bring me tea”.

Also I think the beginning of the song goes “Went out last (went out last night). Having a drink” or something similar.

But it’s basically like an indie/garage rock tune about a bad hangover. Also it’s more spoken than actually sang.

Blur - You're So Great kinda fits the bill? It opens up with a hangover and "tea tea and coffee, helps me start the day." And it's definitely indie/garage british sound. But it's very 90s and not 00s.

I feel like I know this and can't bring it to mind. Doesn't quite match but the first thing I thought was The Rakes - Work, Work, Work (Pub, Club, Sleep) so throwing it out just in case.

Seems like he did this one all the way from JBs style

to very 80s funk.

I can't find a version with Maceo Parker (played sax for James Brown, the JBs, etc) but I'd bet anything they did it together at some point.

Sounds quite a bit like Elmer Bernstein's "Magnificent Seven" theme (which kind of leans on Copland at the start, but the memorable bit starts about 20 seconds in):
