I'm pretty sure the song I would like identified is from the mid 90s.

The only thing that I really remember from it is that it is a female singer and, rather than lyrics, it starts off with "do do do de do do do de do de duh duh de duh de duh." That is the best way I can translate the melody into words. I'm also pretty sure that when the lyrics start they follow the same melodic pattern as the dos and des.

Hopefully somebody knows what the gently caress I'm talking about. Thanks in advance.

I thought of "Be My Lover" by La Bouche. That it?

Ok, I'll give this a shot since I can't figure this one out.


It sounds like it might be Neil Young (I'm nearly certain), and is a very depressing sounding song, very minimal guitar work through most of it, and this fraction of a line:

"Out of the ??????, and into the black...."


Any ideas?

Google says "Hey Hey, My My (Into The Black)" by Neil Young.

I have not been able to find a song which I believe to be by bad religion. The only line I know is along the lines of "we dont need no bad religion" or something like that.

Haha, that's not Bad Religion at all--that's Pink Floyd's "Another Brick In The Wall" and the line is "we don't need no education". :)

I'm trying to find a song that i heard last night while drunk. I loved it and can't find it.

It sounded like dispatch, bedouin soundclash, and the roots all put together.

Song name is extra ordinary (i think)
Artist is unknown. ( it sounds like Izlabell or Izzlabee)

Please help me!

It wasn't "Extraordinary" by Better Than Ezra, was it?

This one has been in my head lately:

This song would have been late 80' or early 90's, it is a dance song that would have been on hot compilations of the day and stuff like that, that is to say it's not very obscure or anything. I don't recall any of the lyrics, but the opening goes something like "duh-duh *Oww* dunt-dun-deh dun-deh-dun-deh duh-duh *Oww*" the Oww is pretty distinctive I'd say. Can anybody help me?

This is "Everybody Everybody" by Blackbox. One of my favorite songs since fifth grade ^^

My girlfriend wants me to find a song, but she is giving me very little to work with. I don't expect anyone to be able to find it, but it's worth a shot. The only lyrics she can give me are "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." She says it is a female singer with a band that sounds similar to Flyleaf. If anyone can find it that would be great, I've spent about an hour looking already, but those lyrics make it impossible.

This probably isn't it, but someone much earlier in the thread was looking for a song with those lyrics and it turned out to be"They" by Jem. Could that be it?

I really need help trying to find the name and artist of a song I heard, I've searched for hours for the few lyrics that I remember, but I just can't find the song's name.

The main lyrics I remember, and they were used a lot were like: "spending our days in the sun", or "spending our time in the sun", and also some lyrics about "all is gone" or "all is lost", and it got repeated a lot, I think it was the chorus. The lyric "in the sun" or "the sun" was used a lot.

The song itself sounded Jamaican or Caribbean in style.

The closest lyrics that I could find, are the lyrics to "Seasons in the sun", but the song sounds nothing like that, as I said it has a Jamaican sound to it, it's like reggae.

The main clue would be the constant use of the lyric "the sun", it was used almost all the time, I don't think that I've heard any other song use "the sun" as much as this one.

Thanks.

EDIT: The lyrics from "Seasons in the Sun" that looked familiar were "We had seasons in the sun", and the "have all gone" lyric, but as I said the song sounded way different.

It's kind of a long shot but might this be "Island In The Sun" by Weezer?

My best guess is that it's an ERA song?
This one is more famous: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKvaLJsdphI

arg: they all sound so similar. I don't know Latin (and it's apparently only fake latin?) so I can't transliterate well enough to pin down the lyrics. Good luck: http://www.allthelyrics.com/lyrics/era/

There are three groups I'm a big fan of that often have songs incorrectly attributed to each other--Era, Adiemus, and E Nomine--and I'm pretty sure I've heard all of the songs released by all, and while it sounds like it COULD be any of them I'm pretty sure it's none of them. However, now I want to know who this is as well because it sounds like I'd really like them.

Edit: Era has a new album out?? Forget what I said about having heard all of their songs! I should mention though that a LOT of the songs on that link kimbo305 posted are incorrectly attributed to them--look at their wikipedia page for songs that are actually Era. I haven't heard the new album yet but I can tell you it's none of the songs on the first four albums, and unless Adiemus and E Nomine have come out with new albums too I'm pretty sure it's not a song of theirs either.

I've got on that's been bugging me for well near a decade. This was a real popular ambient track in the 90's and I remember hearing it on compilation CD commercials around 1993-4. There's a single woman singing the verse and then a women's chorus singing the chorus. The verse is slightly subdued but the chorus is big and bombastic, fully orchestrated, the works. I've heard it many places but none where I could get my hands on the name. I've recorded myself singing the verse and the chorus. Any help would rock. Please excuse my singing and my microphone.


This is what I think the verse sounds like:


This is what I think the chorus sounds like:


I'm pretty sure without even listening to your recordings that the track you're looking for is "Adiemus" by "Adiemus". Excellent track, it's moved me to buy pretty much their entire discography and find even more incredible pieces by them.

Edit: Listened to the recordings, that's it all right. Your singing is pretty spot on for someone singing it from memory and only knowing it from commercials :) If you happen to want recommendations for more amazing amazing tracks by them let me know.

Edit: On a side note, it bugged me for nearly a decade as well! I first heard it on the Pure Moods commercials when I was like eight, and then finally found it just a few years back. I still remember hearing the song in full for the first time :)

Ooh! Ooh! While we're on the subject of Adult Swim, what the HELL is the name of that song...okay, it first popped up a few years back, maybe the first or second year Adult Swim was even around, and then I heard it again on Adult Swim maybe a year or two ago. It sounded like...I can't explain it, like some foreign drinking song or something. It was quite fast-paced and the voices were kinda nasally and screechy, and there was clapping, and maybe an accordion or something, and I remember a "HUP! HUP! HUP! HUP!". It played sometimes during bumps and sometimes during commercials, and the commercials would be that song playing, and then fake translated "subtitles", one of which I remember being "A bear dances..." something something... "and then he dances some more". It's been driving me crazy, if I could just find out the name of it, the artist, what it is, where I can download it, ANYTHING about it...yeah. Thanks in advance, hopefully SOMEONE knows what this is!

Edit: It's in the key of F Major if that helps at all.

Anyone know what band/song this is? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPzLxDkM72Y

I would google some lyrics, but I can't understand them at all

Comments say it's The Good Wolf and the 3 Bad Pigs by by Street Poets, a Korean band, and that seems correct looking at the 1 other song they have on youtube which is similar sounding, but I can find absolutely no info on this band/the song in English anywhere.

II wish I'd read the rest of your post after the link BEFORE I did some Googling, it would have made the whole thing a lot easier. But yeah, that's definitely it, that's the English name of the song and the band, which in Korean is "착한 늑대와 나쁜 돼지 새끼 3마리" (pronounced something like...Chak-han Neuk-dae-wa Na-bbeun Dwe-ji Sae-kki Se-ma-li) by "거리의 시인들" (Geo-li-eh Shee-een-deul). I can't believe I understood enough of that to Google it, what a...song.

Some more info here. It's all in Korean, but it's a good place to start as any, I suppose.

Of note, if you like them, check out Novasonic. Neither band is particularly popular in Korea (I like Novasonic but no one ever knew who they were when I was there, and I've never heard of Street Poets before today) but they have similar...ish styles. I like "Empire Of The Sun" or "태양의 나라".

Edit: This group is WEIRD. I kinda like them. But they're WEIRD. Listen to that other song, man. WEIRD. But good...but weird.

This appeared on my computer one day. I have no idea where it came from, what it is or what it's doing there. It's been there for a good five years, because I remember wondering what it was in high school and I'm almost done with college now. I don't know if it's part of a longer piece, if it's a piece at all, if it's from something, if it IS something, nothing. "2525sol" is the filename it "came" with, so to speak. That and the piece itself is the only thing I have to go on.

Hey! How lucky for me to stumble upon this thread, as I have been desperately trying to name a Christmas song I've heard any number of times lately, especially when watching hockey on RDS.

I have no other way to describe it than to type the tune as I know it. It goes like,

do Do Do do Do do-do-lo do Do do-do-lo doooo
this repeats but the trailing doooo at the end is a higher note the second time
do Do Do do Do do-do-lo do Do do-do-lo doooo

Usually sounds like its played with a trumpet or something. I know this is terrible, but its really getting to me.

1) A song, perhaps more recent, possibly even within the last few years, but possibly also from a similar time peiod (early 90s), a song that sounds similar to "Something To Talk About" by Bonnie Raitt. Same key (maybe a half-step off), similar-sounding female singer, the bit I have in my head sounds like it was taken straight out of the song. Good luck with this one.

2) Speaking of Adult Swim bumps, there was this one on a few years ago and the only reference to it I can find is the first post on this page:
