blueoxide posted:I heard a cover of Johnny Cash's "I Walk the Line" at a Chipotle the other day. It seemed to be a bit slower and a lot darker, it had an almost haunting feel to it. It was really good and I have been looking all over for it but can't even find who it could be by. Please help. BMI lists the following as having recorded it, besides Johnny Cash himself: Hoyt Axton, David Allan Coe, Ray Conniff, Little Jimmy Dempsey, Shelby Lynne, Carl Perkins, Bill Purcell, the Ray Conniff Singers. And Wiki says this: "In 2006 Levi Strauss & Co. created three advertisements using the song, featuring cover versions by Megan Wyler and Adem Ilhan." Dunno if this helps, but I tried.

blueoxide posted:I appreciate that, thank you! http://www.bmi.com/ http://www.ascap.com/index.html http://www.sesac.com/index.aspx?flash=1 http://www.mcps-prs-alliance.co.uk/Pages/default.aspx In the liner notes, after the credits for whoever wrote the song, it should say the performing rights organisation they're a part of. For example, grabbing the nearest CD to me (which is Tori Amos' Strange Little Girls), the first credit says "New Age written by Lou Reed, published by Screen Gems EMI Ltd. (BMI)" If you don't have liner notes, just go through and stick the person's name in all of 'em if you have to. As a kid I wondered what those acronyms I always saw in liner notes meant, and after looking them up, I realised I could see huge lists of songs that artists had written, which I found amazing for some reason. Incidentally, as noted -- Johnny Cash's songwriting was through BMI, at least for that particular song.

themachine posted:Ok, I need help finding a song. I know it is an oldies type song, I only hear it on my local oldies radio station, I'm guessing 30's to 50's somewhere. I don't know the artist or title, just some of the lyrics. Part of it goes "Saturday night and I ain't got nobody, I got some money cause I just got paid. Oh how I wish I had some chick to talk to, in an awful way" This is Another Saturday Night by Sam Cooke. Cat Stevens covered it, too, in the 70s.

bobthenameless posted:I am not a big country listener at all, but earlier today I was listening to a top 40 country type of station, and I heard one sappy sort of song talking about the little moments he spends with his wife and how it's all the little things she does that amazes him, and she doesn't even realize it. One part I remember is the wife was baking a birthday cake and burned it. It was very sweet song and I'd really like to hear it again Little Moments by Brad Paisley.

I googled those lyrics and various combinations but I cant find it at all. This may be going out on a limb a bit, but the first thing that came to mind was Feuer Frei! by Rammstein.

It was an instrumental cover of what sounded like the theme to the Good the Bad and the Ugly, it was fast as gently caress and the guitar shredded like mad, I loved it, and now I can't find it. It wasn't off this album, was it?

Rollersnake posted:Also, a different song that I actually really dislike, but I'm curious what it is all the same. Probably a very popular song, as I've heard it many times on the radio, sounds like your average late-'90s radio-friendly rock. The most commonly repeated lyric I'm almost positive is "it's in your heart, it's in your head" or "I stay in your heart, I stay in your head" but it comes out sounding like "a-stinninyerr harr, a-stinninyerr hehr" It's not "Love Like Winter" by AFI, is it? Beginning of the chorus is "It's in the blood / it's in the blood / I met my love before I was born" but the first time I heard it I wasn't sure what they were saying. Might be way too recent, but it WAS a single.Bit of a longshot but eh, figured I'd toss that out

Elohssa Gib posted:This is pretty vague, but it is a song that is usually put in the background of movie trailers for family-ish comedies. The most recent preview that had it that I know of is the beginning of the trailer for 'The Brothers Solomon'. It's an upbeat song and the words I think go something like "I know a place/way" and makes me think of Offspring. I just watched a trailer for that movie, dunno if it's the same one, but the song they play is Bang the Drum All Day.

junyatwin posted:Can anyone help me identify this song? It's been driving my wife and I nuts. We got it on a mix CD an ex boyfriend made her, she's always loved the song, but it had no liner notes. Sounds like maybe Blue Man Group. I could be wrong, but that's the only place I've ever heard that particular sound. I'm not real familiar with their music, though, so I'm not able to guess at a particular song.

The Human Cow posted:2) A girl in her 20s is walking around in an old building singing. At one point she's sitting in the windowsill singing. She might have had on glasses, too. The song is apparently calm and not very upbeat. We think it came out around the late 90s. I think that you're looking for, perhaps, Lisa Loeb and Nine Stories - Stay (I Missed You). Look right to you?

NESguerilla posted:There is a song towards the end of rushmore that has been driving me crazy for years. I have listened to clips of the entire soundtrack and it doesnt seem like its even on there. I'm thinking A Quick One While He's Away by The Who. It's a sort of medley song, and the last part is called "You Are Forgiven". IMDB says it's on the soundtrack, so I'll go with that. Edit: Wiki says it's a different version of the song (the one on Rock and Roll Circus) which is actually used in the film, which may be one reason why it doesn't sound right to you.

TapTheForwardAssist posted:The song I can't ID had a man describing how he went on a date with an older woman, how they drove up into the hills about LA in her expensive car. Then the women climbs all over him while explaining some sort of life advice about relaxing and living in the moment. It was spoken word piece, maybe some singing (or more melodic speaking) on the chorus where he repeats the woman's advice. Vaguely ethereal electronica-type backing, if I recall right. That would be Hey Pretty (Drive-By 2001 Mix) by Poe. The man reading is Mark Z. Danielewski (her brother), and he's reading an excerpt from his book House of Leaves. Edit: Well, it could be, at any rate -- it's definitely the song Medium Bi is referring to. Sweetwater Kill fucked around with this message at 00:31 on May 3, 2008 |

I don't know enough about most of these artists to make a very good guess, but I suppose it's a start.

scheherezade posted:This one should be easy. It was some hip hop/RnB song I heard from a friend. I don't remember much, but it had a meal lead singer talking about some girl (named shawty?) and getting drunk in some club. T-Paine also sang a good part (autotuned) but he wasn't the lead voice. Every once in a while you can hear a male chorus shouting "oh!" in the background. if anyone can find this, I'd really appreciate it. I was going to say "are you sure it wasn't "Buy U a Drank (Shawty Snappin')"?" but that's a T-Pain song mainly, so I am gonna guess Plies ft. T-Pain - "Shawty". Note that I have not actually heard this song, those are just my best guesses.

minute posted:Okay, I remember hearing a song from a long, long time ago. It was kind of countryish or singer/songwriter style. The overall gist is the guy is talking to some mysterious cowboy or something. In the refrain, the cowboy tells him the meaning of life is "fast cars, cheap whiskey and easy women" or something to that effect. This is a Tom T. Hall song called Faster Horses (The Cowboy and the Poet) off his 1975 album Faster Horses.
