Its a T.I. track.

The lines
"picture me riding in a jet-black camaro
---------------------eyes on the -------
won't let me own a gun so I bought a bow and arrow"

are in it.

I heard it on shade45 and figured I would just remember the innoculous 3 word title and then I remembered that almost all of TIs songs are innoculous 3 word titles and sifting through like years of tracks isn't going to deliver. It might not even be out yet but does anyone have any idea about it? Google doesn't do me any good and the big TI track right now is from Takers and its not that track.

"I'm in a jet black Camaro with my eyes on the sparrow
They say I can't have no pistol so I bought a bow and arrow"

The song is called Ya Hear Me.

I just googled ""jet-black camaro" t.i.", by the way.

OK I heard this song on the radio, I believe it's classic rock, Part of the lyrics were "Cry me a river", the person who was singing it was female. Now i've googled it and i find a song called "Cry me a river" but that isn't the song, it's too slow. That's the title, but i am looking for the lyrics.

To me they sound like the BeeGees, they had that high pitched whine or whatever you call it. but I believe the person was female who was singing.

Can't believe I'm here but...

I'm remembering a song that starts off with an accoustic guitar and a soft spoken female voice. It sounds all soft and caring, but then the song turns into a breakup song and the voice gets harsher. By the time male voices join in, it turns into a "gently caress you, how could you" kind of song

I remember a lyric about an old chair, but that's it.

gently caress. I feel like I should know what this is, but the only things I can think of are Before He Cheats by Carrie Underwood, Smile by Lily Allen and You Oughta Know by Alanis Morissette, but I know none of those are right. Is the idea of the song similar to this?

Comedy options: gently caress You by Cee-Lo or Somebody Kill Me Please from The Wedding Singer.

Gonna be way out there with this one but Betty Hutton's "It's Oh So Quiet" sounds exactly like another song to me but I can't remember what. It's mainly when she sings the actual "It's oh so quiet" lyrics at like 0:11. The only difference is the song I'm remembering never gets upbeat or loud.

Well, aside from the obvious answer of Björk's version of that song... the only song that came to mind, which is probably not it, was At Last by Etta James.

I remember hearing a song when I was around 11 or 12 (2000 or so) I want to think it was some sort of "trucker" song. Part of the song had lyrics similar to "...gave me a caffeine pill but it turned out to be the real lucile" and something about the singer of the song meeting someone who "turned out to be a real good buddy".

Not a great description but a friend of mine at the time had it on a mixed CD someone had copied for him and I was thinking it would be easy to come up with on google but no luck.

The artist in question is Ray Carlisle and the song is called "Passin' Thru". I found the lyrics on a trucker forum, actually: here.

It's a jazzy-esque song, maybe electronic that has female vocals that I can't remember exactly, something along the lines of:

Ooh, can't take my eyes away

Can't take my love away
Ooh, [something] you're the one

That's all I can remember. I've heard it before and I just heard it on TV for some bumper music of a UK soccer/football match.

What's that one hip hop type song where there's a call-and-answer riff part that goes: "Shota! Shota! Shota! Shota!"?

I think they're saying "Shota!" but I can't guarantee it.

I also don't know what "Shota" means besides that witch in The Sword of Truth series.

The Cubs have been playing it in their spring training stadium every time they take the field to start the game.

I'm pretty sure it's 80s but I can't be 100%.

First of all, I've only ever heard "shota" used to mean "shotacon" (that is to say, the little-boy version of lolicon).

If this is the Cubs, they're probably saying "Chi-town". One of the Cubs entering-the-field songs is Homecoming by Kanye West - he says 'Chi-town' and 'Chi-city' a few times, but not really in a call and answer way. There are a few lists out there of their music, but the only other song on this list that matched both "hip hop" and "entering the field" was Written in the Stars by Tinie Tempah and I'm sure that isn't it.

Either way, I'm definitely sure they're not saying "shota", haha. This may help you search better, anyway, if the Kanye song isn't it.

Can't find those lyrics anywhere, help me goons!

The only thing that came up when I searched was one irrelevant comment on something else, and this blog post in French:
"Donc pour commencer, on retourne à New York, en faisant explosé notre cotât carbone, pour un Bop Hop de Brooklyn Funk Essentials (sur l’album Cool And Easy And Steady). Un de mes morceaux préférés, même s’il vieilli un peu. Jazz et Funk quelques scratchs et un peu de rap (l’alibi Hip Hop) sur un refrain Brooklyn, Queens and Bronx Get Yourself Together fédérateur. Chacun y va joyeusement de son petit solo. Let’s get party !!!"

which would seem to indicate that the song you're looking for is Bop Hop by Brooklyn Funk Essentials on the album Cool and Steady and Easy. A quick listen confirms (the break between 'Brook' and 'lyn' is there just as you describe) :) Cool song.

Hmm. Not sure it's anything:

Elsewhere, the heavy metal "muscle workout" of "Die" was noted by Owens himself as being inspired by an early Fleetwood Mac track, "Oh Well". "Die" was the result of a riff that Owens and White had been jamming with for a long time, something that finally resulted in a song that Owens has said is essentially "just us pretending to be rock n' rollers for a little bit."

If you're talking about the piece that plays throughout the video (which I have never heard before), Shazam insists that it's the theme from Il magnifico cornuto (The Magnificent Cuckold) - though listening to two different pieces with that title, it doesn't sound like either of them, but YMMV.

Honestly, it sounds to me like your stereotypical Radio Disney type song, so it wouldn't surprise me if it was from the soundtrack to a kids' movie. It's just so weird, I literally hear this song multiple times a day every single day at work.

This has been bugging me for ages and the song wasn't even good.

The band is probably British. They had one single that had a music video shown in the early 2000s on the alternative music channels. The band name or song title maybe had "ice" somewhere in it. The video had a lot of colourful triangles, pink and yellow? I associate it with Crystal Castles, it wasn't them but probably around the same time.

It was an awful electro-emo song I think. Like Enter Shikari or other similar mid-2000s things. Either the band or the song was something Ice. It's been eating at me, I can't find it.

Poked around but all I found was something with elements of what you're saying but not quite right. On the off chance you misremembered parts, the English band Test Icicles had a 2005 song called Circle. Square. Triangle whose video has a lot of bright pink and yellow - only one actual triangle though that I saw.

There is an alternative/pop rock song I am trying to find that I am pretty sure is 90's(?) but might be early 2000's.

It would show up on my third eye blind Pandora station. The singer has this really boyish, almost hoarse voice, and I'm pretty sure the song is about a girl being better or too cool for him or something.

I could have sworn it was matchbox 20 but it's not, apparently. I want to say the art that came with the song had a guy with a darker skin tone (like Arabic/Indian) on it but not 100% on that.

This is driving me insane

It would be way too easy for this to be Mike Posner - Cooler Than Me (even though that's from 2010) - I doubt it, but it's the first thing that came to mind.
