I've been looking around for the name of this song:
http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=132894856758507
(I hope linking like this is ok, I couldn't find it anywhere else.)

I tried running it through the audio recognition software and finding some other source to ask there but no dice...

Please help :)

I think this one might be an original composition for the commercial, since I recall there being a version of the commercial that had Eddie Vedder's "Rise" over the same video. Not sure why they stopped using that commercial; the song you hear on the Spanish version you posted was also used in a later cut of the English commercial.

You can see the "Rise" Version here:

If you're certain that the song on the Spanish version you posted is a song from somewhere else then I'll keep looking, but I think this will at least clear up some confusion.

This will probably be impossible to answer, as I have no memory of any of the lyrics. The only part of the theme I can remember is a low, singing sound, the tune similar to a song that plays when you are sailing in Dragon Quest 6. The only other thing I could tell was that there was only one singer, who was male. It might have been a song about love.

Trying to remember a song where in the music video, the lead singer is wearing black shirt that says JAPAN on it, and one scene there's just hard winds gushing towards him while he's walking on a sidewalk.

I keep thinking of Trapt, but it's not. The video was around when Headstrong video was out too probably.

There was a song running in the background of an AXN week's series preview. Song is basically pop, with a buzzing beat as in rythmic buzz, buzz, buzz etc.
The lyrics went along the lines of 'Oh oh // look who's here // causing trouble (OR to cause You trouble) // --- --- // look who's back to burst Your bubble'. Unfortunately such vague lyrics search return a sea of matches which apparently aren't the ones (lyrics don't match).

Can't quite get this one out of my head... :v: Can anyone help me with this one?

IMDB is no help; it doesn't seem to be listed on the soundtrack, but that's not particularly surprising since it's a deleted scene.

Hmm. I have a candidate with the right timeperiod and genre, but not the video. Télépopmusik - Breathe has a couple of seconds of subway in it, but that's as close as it gets. It came out in 2001/2002 and had a remix released in 2003 although I can't find any video for it. I suspect it had some MTV play somehow because wiki says it had a grammy nom in 2004.

I'm amazed, I threw that number out at random really, it certainly felt that long though, but that is definitely the song!

Definitely not the video I remember, although there were actually two songs with Breathe in the title during that megamix, might have been misassociation, the video was of a passenger train going through a countryside, with the perspective being outside focusing on the woman inside.
Oh well, doesn't matter this is the song I wanted anyway.

The song in question is on gadget #40 and sounds 'electric' kinda eighties style, the only lyric I heard from it was "they called it <somethingsomething> in the eighties". I wish I wasn't making that last part up too, I have no idea if it's at all relevant.

- a short guitar sample (32:02 - 32:19)
- two vocal shots (one with a kid, one with a man)

Can anyone offer any suggestions please?

Don't know about the music, but the vocal bits come from an obscure animated movie called The Elm-Chanted Forest. The samples come from this scene.

Hey folks, back in the day I used to dig Pavement and I'm trying to figure out the name of a song by them that I was really into. All I remember is that at one point the singer was mimicking the sound that the guitar was making - it was a solo the guitar was doing between choruses. The chorus I've got the melody to but I don't remember what was being said, though I do know that it was basically this: short statement in left channel, Stephen Malkmus repeats it in the right channel so that it sounds like a person repeating another person (though it's the same person both times).

That sounds so stupid typed out, if anyone has any idea let me know. Or if there's anything I can add tell me and I'll put it down. I remember exactly 0% of the lyrics so I can't google it.

I have been wondering what this song is for a long time.

I remember hearing it on the radio a few times. It is a woman singing with an echo, there are violins, and a synthesizer. The song sounds very depressing. I never caught any of the lyrics, it just sounds like chanting.

The song sounds as if it is from the early 90s, late 80s. It was apparently popular at one point since I only hear it on light rock stations.

This song is really hard to describe because you can't really pinpoint one thing that stands out on it, except the synthesizer. The lyrics are kind of chanted and have an echo effect.

I have googled this to death for several years and got nowhere. In the mid 80s an old friend copied me a mix tape he had which in later years I've come to realize was full of a bunch of old disco songs. As an example it had Slice me Nice by Fancy but there's one song that always eluded me now that I want to get them on my ipod (plus I've lost the old tape so I can't soundhound it).

I have been able to get some more information and the song in question is called "Crashing Down" and it seems it was originally sung by The Nolans(!). However the version of the song I'm looking for had a far more aggressive pace to it as well as a real electro backing sound. The vocals were sung in an almost-Bee Gees like falsetto style. I'm pretty sure it wasn't a remix because the sound is so different to the original. However, it might be! edit: it's definitely not the fair use overdub remix that's floating around youtube. The lectro element is way more punchy than that

The only cover version I've been able to find was by the Saturdays in 2008 but my version must be pre-1989 at the latest. Here's the lyrics if it's any help:

Yeah, I talked it out with friend of mine
Looks like I'm gonna lose your love this time
She said I've cheated on you for too long
And don't I realise I ain't that strong

But now the nights are so cold and lonely
Lost without all your love

I come crashing down, down, down
Crashing down, down, down
Crashing down, down, down
Like a storm to the ground

I come crashing down, down, down
Crashing down, down, down
Now your love ain't around.

Woah, I ain't a child, no tears to hide
All my emotions hidden deep inside
With you I really thought I had it all
One day you're high and then you take a fall

But now the nights are so cold and lonely
Lost without all your love

I come crashing down, down, down
Crashing down, down, down
Crashing down, down, down
Like a storm to the ground

I come crashing down, down, down
Crashing down, down, down
Now your love ain't around.

Mmmm, yeah, yeah,
Woah, oh wanting you, loving you, needing you, losing my baby
Cheated you, lied to you, ooohhh now I'm crashing down

Crashing down, down, down
Crashing down, down, down
Crashing down, down, down
Like a storm to the ground
I come crashing down, down, down
Crashing down, down, down
Now your love ain't around.

Crashing down, down, down
Crashing down, down, down
Crashing down, down, down
Like a storm to the ground
I come crashing down, down, down
Crashing down, down, down
Now your love ain't around.

I'll admit, I haven't actually heard this song in probably a decade so this is a bit of a long shot but I've seen you work miracles before.

The song, I'm pretty sure, is from the 80s as it has a very hard new-wave style to it. I don't remember much of the lyrics except that they're about a car accident and I pretty distinctly remember comments about the leather in the car in the lyrics. The singer sounds a bit like the B-52's main male singer, although at a bit lower pitch than his usual frantic singing. There's also a WHIRR in between lines. So the song would go "blah blah leather seats" then WHIRR, then the next line. I want to say there's a line about the blood pooling as well, but that might just be my brain filling in the inevitable conclusion of the "car wreck".

I've tried looking it up from vague memories, but all I manage to find is a song by Passengers that isn't the same song. I appreciate any effort put forth in finding this for me, as I've looked a few times over the years and can't manage to remember it all the way.

Edit: VVVVV That's not it, but it's certainly an interesting song.

After looking up "Hot Leather" and "Car Crash Song", Wikipedia comes through unexpectedly.

The song in question? The Normal - Warm Leatherette. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5QErPDNcj4

I remember my parents listened to this when I was younger, which is the only reason I remember the song at all.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O79EN3z6IpU is semi-related, as I remember having heard this song a lot as well. Bloodrock - D.O.A.

If you ever were feeling especially morbid - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_car_crash_songs

Yes, there's an entry on car crash songs. My first reaction was basically "Holy gently caress I love you Wikipedia."

Anyway, I'm glad I finally solved this mystery that has bugged me for a long time now and thanks for the introduction to Soul Coughing. They're pretty good.
