I'm looking for a hiphop song that I think is fairly well known, and has a strong guitar sample going in the background. A sort of continuous "chic-ka chic-ka chic-ka", really twangy. Maybe from... end of the 90s?

Very vague, but could it be Quannum - I changed my Mind?

That's not it, hmm yeah I guess this is a little vague. The guitar part is a steady strumming, not a riff like in the Quannum track. It would have definitely got airtime on MTV or MuchMusic. It's possible it's a canadian group. I'm trying to check some clips from the rascalz and kardinal offishall, but no luck yet with what I've found.

The song sounded like Bob Dylan (or more likely someone singing like a typical Dylan impression), while the music itself was kind of like funk.

Lyrics were something about, 'You feel guilty for telling me stories that you know just aren't true... but that's alright cause...'

I heard part of this on the radio and wouldn't mind checking it out. Would this have been a mashup/mix of some kind?

College radio station, dj mixing what I guess were old records,
He had some beat and tune going, but I'm more interested in the singer/melody he laid over it.

It sounded like it could have been from the 70s, and was either a woman, or a man with a soft voice.
Lyrics had 'hands in the air like you just don't care' and kept saying 'dance', but pronouncing it dahnce / d-on-ce. Something later about 'romance' with the same funny pronounciation, rom-on-ce.

This could be a longshot since I heard it on the local French station, and it was a German song...

I think the group's name may have been something like 'Ein ____ Prinsessen' (or maybe not at all), it was a girl singing (in german), and I think the french dj said it was about her getting on a bus with no ticket, getting in trouble and meeting a guy. I don't understand German very well at all, but liked the song.

This is possibly a longshot, but here goes.

The song I'm looking for probably does have lyrics, but the only part I can remember is the introduction, which is instrumental. I believe it was used in The Blues Brothers, but I know it was used a few times in the first series of family guy. I remember it plays in the episode with the pope, in specific, the point where he is getting off of the plane and the guy is warming up the crowd for him. Any ideas?

Is it the tune that sounds like gameshow music? Horns/trumpets going 'dun dun dun daaaaaaa-da-da-daa. Duh-duh-duh-duh daaa-daaaa da-da da.'

I'm trying to find a song from the 90s. The lyrics are spoken by a singer, the arrangement is very sparse, and it features a sample of someone singing something that I can't make out. I hear it on store radio systems occasionally, but I can't figure out what it is. I assume that the drums are from a drum machine.

The one lyric I can remember goes something like "Drive away and don't ask where to go." It isn't the exact wording, but no amount of trying to search on the internet is being fruitful.

One final tidbit - the chorus is just the singer going "doo do doo doo doo do doo, doo do doo doo doo do doo." I hope that helps.

This is more of a help me identify an album.

My friend gave me a copy of a copy of a cd she was given. She has no idea of the artist. It's an album of fishing songs set to Christmas music in a blue grass style. Besides using christmas music there isn't really a christmas theme to the album. IE instead of 'I wish you a Merry Christmas/and a happy New Year' they do 'I wish you'd clean our fish mess/then bring us some beer'

Anyway I've been searching online for who this is if anyone knows.

Thanks

If it's a 1:1 copy of the original cd, you might try playing it on your computer if you haven't already, windows media player or pretty much any other program should try to search for all the album info online with CDDB.

I happened to listen to the radio the other day, which I don't do much, and a new Breaking Benjamin song was on. Now, I don't care what song it was, but it's their current single I would guess.

Anyway, it reminded me of another song from years back. Kind of has the same lyrical attributes. I know this is a long shot, but can someone help me?

FAKE EDIT: It's Breath by Breaking Benjamin. The beginning just reminds me of some song that I have heard before.

I guess I am asking for help on finding out what song this song sounds like. God it's going to haunt me, and with my description, it will never be found.

Which part of the song reminds you, the strumming or the lead guitar? The strumming sounds like something from Chevelle - Vena Sera, maybe Paint the Seconds or Well Enough Alone. They'd probably both get play on that same station.

e: Also longshots if you're feeling desperate, A Perfect Circle - Blue and Staind come to mind.

This may be a longshot, but it's a song I heard in a bar on an isolated beach at night in Thailand while I was drunk and having a very enlightening moment with someone, I'd really like to find it if I could.

I only distinctly remember a couple things about the song, that the singer/male was a very fast talker and was singing practically nonstop. He had a soft voice, sounded like Mika (might have been), and the music was mostly a soft organ maybe synthesizer playing upbeat/quickly, reminded me of something Jamiroquai might play.

Any guesses or leads?

That's a fantastic guess, but not it, the tone of the music is pretty close, but with not so much of a drum beat. The singer's voice wasn't at all overproduced or anything, voice was moving a lot faster, not really a distinct chorus like that one. Just one guy singing through the whole song, too fast to pick out lyrics to google later.

(Then they started playing some hard eurotrash techno... bah was hoping for some album to be on)

e: I've heard that Blue October song before, I get the feeling that the song I'm looking for wasn't a single (in North America at least), maybe a lesser known track on an album

I've got this song stuck in my head... sort of. More like part of it.
I'm almost positive the guy singing is Eddie Vedder, and the main chorus has this drawn out, dramatic guitar playing.

I think it might be a recent single, maybe some sort of collaboration with a guitarist? I heard it on the most commercialized rock station we've got locally, so it's not going to be obscure at all, but can't figure out what the song is. Been wiki-ing and youtubing for too long, help me out.

Could be an older song, but I think I've heard it on the radio a few times and it sounds like it was produced recently.

Ok, I feel like this is going to sound retarded, but it's killing me. I used to have this game for Dreamcast called "Razor Freestyle Scooter" or something similar. The game was whatever, but the soundtrack was loving amazing. It's all this poppy-punk music, but it's addicting.

While I'd like the whole soundtrack, the one song that I want more than anything seems to not exist outside of that game. IIRC, the chorus to the song goes something like:

"So take back all the words that sounded like I had given up on you/if I had to spend another day without you I don't know what I would do/I just found all these letters from you and I know every one by heart"

Even knowing all of that, I still can't find it. Please let someone identify this before I lose my mind.

I've had a song stuck in my head for a few days now, and I have no idea what it is, or even if the lyrics I am singing in my head are remotely correct. What I remember is this

"Did you give it up? (Stop!) ahh ahh ahh ahh" (maybe only 3 "ahh"s, maybe more...I really can't remember)

The "did you give it up" part is sung by a guy, and the "stop" and ahhs are female voices. The entire part is like a pre-chorus, and the actual chorus I want to say sounds somewhat similar to that Hungry Eyes song, but I could be totally wrong about that. I know it was a radio hit when it was a current song, but like adult contemporary radio (think Michael Bolton and his ilk). I imagine it being played in a dentist's waiting room for some reason.

What I remember of it is that it was mostly spoken word, not in a boring reading a book way, but not really singing either. The lyrics seemed to mainly be arson related, something about throwing a match to the ground and watching the city burn.

It was played once on an alternative station I used to listen to, so I'd guess the genre of this song is at least somewhat related to alternative rock, if that helps any.

Any idea what song this may be?

This has been driving me up the wall for four years. All I know about it is:

- it's named "Jack.mp3"
- the full copy is 5 minutes 9 seconds long
- the ID3 tag identifies it as being track 3
I have no other information on it whatsoever. Not knowing its provenance, I'm playing it safe and only posting the first 44 seconds. I would love to know what it's from or who composed it, though.

Might be from a video game or B-movie?
(production sounds a little on the cheap side somehow/not a big studio movie)

Where did you get the file from originally? Maybe try running its 'acoustic fingerprint' through musicbrainz or freedb if the file is complete. I'm not sure how they identify the songs exactly but it's worth a shot.
