I swear I’ve heard it somewhere else. From a brief listen that's just a note and its minor third being plucked. You'll hear it in basically any song. Is there something specific about it?

I'd really like to find a song for my mum's partner. He said it was a calypso song he listened to probably around 1958, on a record given to him by a French friend. Here are some of the lyrics as he remembers them (it is sung in English): I passed the house of my friend John B. He upped the window and called to me, There are twelve rum bottles layin' on my shelf, If you come right in you can help yourself. Soon the house fill' up with company, All having themselves a royal spree, So I drink toast to my friend John. B, And I drink a few to my wife. Chorus: When he comes out of hospital, He will buy her a big china doll, That's the price he paid for a little fun, A very sad situation.

There's quite a similar line in "This is Our Emergency" by Pretty Girls Make Graves, but the two songs are almost contemporary to one another.

I have one. I believe it was the last track on a CD in the mid-nineties when I had albums like Gish, Screamadelica, Nothing's Shocking, etc. (I didn't have that many). Maybe it was after dead space in the last track like Daydream on Gish. It was a male singing with reverb and I don't remember any musical accompaniment, maybe some ethereal sounds. I was able to find the lyrics that I remember similar to the Juniper Tree story song but I swear the siter's name was Anne Marie: "My mother she killed me, My father he ate me, My sister, little Marlinchen, Gathered together all my bones, Tied them in a silken handkerchief, Laid them beneath the juniper-tree, Kywitt, kywitt, what a beautiful bird am I!"

Excuse the awful video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPLTmUE_b_g Shazam told me it's "The Weeknd, Playboi Carti, Madonna - Popular", but it's definitaly a remix of that song. Trying the first million results on youtube for "Weeknd Popular remix" is not coming up with the right result. Much appreciated if anyone knows the song, or any ideas where to find a list of popular remixes made for the song?

Extremely popular hiphop/rap song over the last 6 months, heavily featuring a deep bassline that’s sung over identically with a guy’s voice, with a sustained E over 8 counts, then up a half step to an F for 3 counts, then down to a B for 5, then repeat. I think the lyrics have ‘brawlin’ in them. Played during timeouts at a lot of sports events. Probably an easy one, I’m just losing my google/youtube touch. edit: solved, Sheck Wes- Mo Bamba Abugadu fucked around with this message at 04:56 on Aug 28, 2023 |

I'm looking for two which are just so hard to Google. 1. It's a song that has a very similar chorus to "Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom!!" by the Vengaboys but it's like a really deep voice. I couldn't make out any words other than the booms, and the parts other than the chorus didn't seem to match the Vengaboys at all. Heard it in public several times in Germany some time in 2013-2016. I think heard in same spaces as "Con Calma" by Daddy Yankee ('I like your poom poom girl'). Quite possibly non-English but due the tone I couldn't even make out what language. 2. This one where Hannah Montana means drugs. In 2010-2012 I had a friend from the St. Louis area. This was as hyphy was on its way out in the CA Bay area. We listened to music from the two worlds contrasting relationships with drugs and self-destructive cultures. In the proto-mumble rap or whatever it was he would put on, the euphemism for Cocaine was often 'that white bitch'. Songs got really creative with synonyms. I remember one vividly where the lyrics had a guy just saying 'Hannah Montana' over and over again. Heran Bago fucked around with this message at 20:53 on Aug 25, 2023 |

I'm trying to remember the name of a band+album! Sound: * uptempo, bright, and jangly guitar pop * but also lowfi and dreamy * kinda fit somewhere between post-riot-grrl and post-sarah-records twee * probably a lot closer to twee actually. I'm not thinking of All Girl Summer Fun Band, but that's pretty close to the sound. * lead singer is a woman (and same for the rest of the band i think) * I've been trying to remember their name ever since this song reminded me of them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BE3s0fl8QQc The Album: * longer than an ep but still pretty short playing time (25 minutes?) * The art for the jewel case is a bunch of greenery - I'm pretty sure it was a photograph of either some sun-dappled leaves or a bunch of kudzu or something. But all over green leaves and sunlight! * I bought it from a used record store in 2015 and I *think* it was released in the mid-aughts (maybe 2003?).

A woman with R&B vocals singing a drawn-out chorus repeating something like "It's the [three syllable word] [one syllable word]" a couple of times. Or maybe "It's the [two syllable word] [one syllable word] [one syllable word]." Later a guy does hip-hop vocals. I'm 100% sure something about "hustlers" and something that rhymes with hustlers. Maybe busters? It has to be popular because I've heard it on the radio a few times recently. I'm confident it's 1990s or newer.

I can't remember any lyrics from hearing this on the radio, but recall the trivia they mentioned with this 1980s/90s song: The song shared a name with a movie, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't for the movie. The movie was about a ghost dad (but obviously wasn't Ghost Dad) but the film was kind of a flop. The song did not have a ghostly vibe to it but was upbeat. It had lyrics. Male group. Kind of a videogame vibe to the music. I think this was from Nina Blackwood's 1980s radio show, but I can't find any playlists from her show. The station I heard it on doesn't have playlists, either.

Definite blend of a few things. Early big beat for sure. Bit of house and hip-hop. Has strong overlaps with the baggy and Madchester sound too. Happy Mondays etc.

Sort of a roundabout question; So this popped up on my spotify feed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQhRS-4NXiE And that drat bit in the beginning 0:07 was triggering me real bad. I finally tracked THAT down to where I'd heard it before, Rose for Epona https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z89WI96MzZc But I see people in the comments mentioning that they're both based on an older song? (the chord part thing, not the whole song) But I can't find any mentions of that or what it could be, so I don't know it they just made it up

Some obscure reddit discussion mentions Tri Martolod; here as recorded by Alan Stivell. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMQbcGNs9kg I haven't had time to listen to either song, so I can't vouch for it. I'll give you a bonus Breton folk song / Alan Stivell / something more modern chain, though: Alan Stivell's recording of Son ar Chistr ("song of cider"), which is a roughly 1920s text to an old folk melody: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hL9xKuf7Ck That melody gives us Bots - Zeven dagen lang (which is a socialist workers anthem, if anything) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmhxxLgQs5o Which is more famously sampled a while later, as Scooter - How Much is the Fish https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbB3iGRHtqA

Guess it's a bit of a Mank thing innit. Stereo MCs are from Nottingham, which is <100 km away. Funny finding something that doesn't fit into the usual categories. Especially a rhythm as basic as that. I've loved that track for ages but it's only now that I'm trying to put an actual label on it that I'm like, hold on, what actually is that? The joys of USB organisation!

The Prodigy, especially early Prodigy, is more acid / rave but good list. I drat near wore out The Crystal Method - Vegas (on cassette tape, natch). Just trashy, dirty-rear end acid x big beat sounds blasting from the stock stereo speakers in a LeBaron convertible.

There's a handful of other 90s electronic artists who weren't big beat themselves but had some tracks with the sound. Juno Reactor had a few, even The Orb and Paul Oakenfold had some grimy chaotic stuff with at least elements of big beat. Or maybe they just remixed big beat tracks.

I need help finding a song. I saw it linked somewhere a few months ago, thought it was good, and forgot about it. But now it's stuck in my head and I can't track it down. It's an original song by a youtuber who afaik puts out new songs pretty regularly. In the video he's in a Mario outfit and he beats the game and rescues the princess and realizes that he has no more purpose in life, so the rest of the song is about him going through a loop of achieving new accomplishments and then having to find a new life purpose. iirc it came out this year?
