I'd like to know what song the music in this trailer comes from:

Someone said it was a NIN song, but I'm not sure.

I've had a song stuck in my head for .. God knows how long now. I don't know any lyrics but I know the vocal melody and how it sounds.

There's piano, a guitar with only very slight distortion, and some choral voices, definitely a male and a female. It sounds like it could be a Church song. I feel like I've heard it in a video game commercial.

It's not Sigur Ros (I'm 99% sure of this, I know they were in the Prince of Persia commercial) but it sounds like their style of music.

Music video identification this time:

It may or may not be for a North American or British band, but the 2008 music video features them wearing motion-capture suits (with those white ping-pong balls) against a bright green background. It also features one of the band members bouncing on a trampoline (I can't remember if he was wearing a green or white mocap suit).

It reminded me of the 2008 Olympic ceremonies where hundreds of performers wore green suits covered in LEDs.

Ta!

Ok. I'm out of ideas. I've googled this song to death with no luck.

It's a hip hop song with a soft piano beat. In the chorus, someone who sounds like Pharrell sings "Ballin, ballin, ba-ba ballin" Or something that SOUNDS like the word "ballin." this isn't jim jones, snoop, or northstar's song "ballin" though.

Here's an image.

I've searched the internet a thousand times.. and the MTV soundtrack website doesn't even have it, can't seem to find anyone that can identify it..

I made a youtube clip,

Okay, there's this song I hear at work that I can't figure out who it's by. I would say it's a late 80s early 90s pop song based on the instrumentation, which is bright and bubbly synths. It has a similar drum beat to songs like "Baby Baby" by Amy Grant, if you get what I'm saying.

I assume the singer is male. He has a high pitch voice, and due to the fact that I'm working when I hear this song, I can only make out this repeated line:

"I'll give you all of my love."

If I'm not mistaken, it appears at the end of every stanza.

Hey, sorry this took a little while but the demo quality is a bit more of a challenge! I was hoping if I came back to it after a couple of days I'd be able to fill in the missing words but that doesn't work. Still I'm pretty sure of most of this.

Nah it isn't. That's too much of a slow jam. This one was really bright and poppy, with the male lead singing almost in a near falsetto. It's that late 80s and early 90s sound of synth pop, you know, all bright and shiny. I just can't figure out anything about the song.

I can't promise it will live up to the hype, but I tried my best.
I'm looking for a song on Anticon. I think it might be by Themselves or Why?, but I'm not totally sure.

All I can tell you is it has a loop often used in the chorus that goes "Try, try try try" in a raising voice.

Any tips?

EDIT: It was El-P - Drive. Not "try." Finally found it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=690jZO_g7nQ

I'm just guessing it's this because they use the melody as part of the chorus, and it's a pretty popular song now so there's a good chance that you heard it in a bar on a Fri/Sat night.

Ok. It's funky as hell, lots of bass, it's about 13 minutes long. The singer is probably black and there's a chorus to back him up.

The lyrics goes like this :
"We're gonna rule the world don't you know, don't you know,
We're gonna rule the world, don't you know, don't you know. We're gonna put it together.
(chorus) We're gonna put it together."

and so on.

At one point he rambles about the book of God and the universal truth or something like that. I've googled the lyrics with no results. It's an awesome song. gogo internet

Shazam. If you own an iPhone it's a free app. You can let it "listen" to some music and it will then compare the recording to a huge rear end database to see if it recognizes it. :)

If people post snippets that's always the first thing I try. Usually it ends with nothing and then the real searching begins. This time it got it right though. :)

To where no dog has gone before.
It's a remix type song, electronic of some sort, and uses quotes from the anime Berserk. It goes something like "I am the irrefutable, indisputable, I am time." And I would swear it is called "I am time" as he says that a lot.

I'm back with another song I doubt anyone will get due to a lack of information. I heard it during an 80s radio hour on a local station that was on in the background. I remember how the main part of the chorus goes and have made an (admittedly horrible and quickly done) replica of it.

The lyrics in the first part that you hear in the replica sounded something like "Jo-in us, Jo-in us" or "jo-y ness, jo-y ness", and then the next part was more lyrics but I couldn't make them out.

This was probably a fairly famous song or group because the station was not playing obscure songs. The song before it was Billy Idol and the one after it was Prince, so it was probably someone fairly popular. I am fairly certain it had a male vocalist.

http://www.tindeck.com/audio/my/uqaj/join-us

I posted this over a year ago.

Since then, this has been the song that haunted me, because no matter who I went to nobody knew what it was. It would get in my head, and I began to think I was remembering it wrong. Like I couldn't possibly have heard it right. I became shy about singing it to anyone to see if they knew it because I felt like an idiot who was getting a song completely confused.

I just wanted to say that after all this time, the song is JUST as good as I remembered it in my head.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmevO2V2JxA

Of course I totally misheard the lyrics, but in my defense I still didn't hear them right when I heard it on the radio this evening. Luckily, the DJ said the name of the song.

This is going to be a tough one:

From the 90's
Pop (not dance but regular pop - I think a guitar is involved)
Girl singing (she is a brunette/blond and wears a hat in some scenes.. a "bĝllehat" to be precise - sorry I don't know what you would call such a thing in English but one normally uses it to screen for the sun - no I'm not thinking about a regular cap.)
Something about "have/having fun"
I'm not thinking about "All I wanna do" by Sheryl Crow
The music video have some guys and girls on a trip - I think - and at some point they are at a bar/disco whatever.

If you figure this one out I'll be thankful as well as impressed.
