My friend is looking for this song and all he knows is "someone once told me the art of war was don't start a war" that, I've googled it and haven't found anything, so any help would be appreciated.

Google brings up some Eminem freestyle called "Got It Twisted" with the line "in order to master the art of war, don't start a war," which is pretty close.

I once saw a youtube video posted in this forum. It was a rap song called something like "Everything Big", and the video consisted of the rapper and his friends using comically oversized everyday objects (eg. a massive TV remote, a huge car etc.)

I can't for the life of me remember what the song was or who performed it. Can anyone help?

I know it seems like an odd request, but I am searching for songs with the same kind of tone and feeling as these. Eye of the Tiger is a uplifting type rock song, Don't Stop Believing is great, and America F*** Yeah is "get pumped" kind of song.

Once again sorry for this odd request, and thank you.

This is a tough one, and I'd be surprised if anyone can find it. I know what it is that I am looking for, I just cannot seem to be able to locate an actual recording/mp3/etc., of the track.

On the show "Unsolved Mysteries", there was this awesome closing theme. It was changed to a more lame one after the first few seasons, but the closing theme was this eerie piano/fretless bass/synthesizer tune and it was pretty loving rad.

I can locate the opening theme, but I can't locate the closing one. If anyone can actually find this, or even knows what the hell I'm talking about, you will have my eternal gratitude.

the authors of the opening tune are Michael Boyd and Gary Remal Malkin, i'm still googling my way around but you might have luck with that

Heard this one on a commercial the other day and it has been irritating the hell out of me since: A chicks voice saying "Forever, Forever" or something like that, I didn't hear anymore since the commercial switches to several different songs over the course of it. It sounded like a pop song, probably 80s/90s. Commercial was some hair thing or something, sorry, that is really vague but it is all I've got.

edit: I've heard the song elsewhere, so I'm pretty sure it wasn't just for the commercial or anything.

This isn't really "help me identify a song" but rather "help me find where to get a song." I couldn't think of any better place to ask this. Anyway, I Monster have a remix of their song "Who is She?" to listen to on their website. It's called The Slag Mix. It's a pretty kick rear end mix but I can't find any info on this anywhere on the net. They've also got two new (to me) songs: Cowboy and Mansheens which I can't find any info on either.

this may or may not help, but with google I found 2 or 3 different torrent sites with "Cowboy" and "Masheens" available as bonus tracks, so you should be able to download the tracks that way.

I have another one. I heard it at about noon today on 94.7 in Portland. It was a live version of a slow, acoustic, very happy song sung by a male. The main gist of the song was about staying inside because it's raining and ignoring the alarm and cuddling in bed, I think. The last few lines of the song were lyrics to Stir It Up by Bob Marley. It was a pleasant little song, but for some reason it's not on their playlist on the KNRK website.

maybe O.A.R. - Night Shift?

The song starts out with the female vocalist singing "Hush Little Baby" against some typical psuedo creepy metal sounding strings. Then her and the rest of the band proceed to destroy the world. Something about "Don't you know I'm insane?!" repeated over and over in one the verses. Help?

I've heard this exact song several times in my youth, circa 96 or 97, and I can't for the life of me remember what it's called. Through some miracle of search for Scotland the Brave (the Scottish anthem) I managed to come across the exact song again. Unfortunately, it's terribly labeled and so I can't exactly get a hold of the CD it came on and such. Here's the link to the site I found it on. The Amazon and iTunes links don't actually work.

This might be a hard one.

Its a rap song from probably a bay area rapper. I used to hear it all the time back in like 1995 when I lived in Oakland. From what I remember there was a woman singing the chorus it went somethin like, "Hurricane. But you can call him Sluracane. Sluracane. Commin up to start an engine-main"

I must be real off with the lyrics but you can get the gist of the song.

I've got another obscure song that I can't figure out what it's called. Here's what I know, it's a happy hardcore song, and I heard it on DI.fm's Hardcore channel. It was part of DJ Leto's Underground Sound mix, but I'm sure I've heard it elsewhere. It has male vocals with the lyrics that roughly say that people thought that hardcore was dead, but we proved them wrong. I do know one exact lyric in it was "hardcore 'til I die".

I know that this is kind of obscure, but I really liked the song.

This song has been driving me crazy. I have to hear it!

All I really remember is the melody, but the first time I heard about it was on SA. Apparently some goon had a relationship with this singer, and she ended up writing a song about him which became pretty popular. From what I recall, the name of the song is one word, and it's a Name. I'm sorry I don't have any more details, but hopefully the goon reference is enough.

Im attempting to remember a song that i think is mid 90s era grunge/country rock. The only lyrics i can remember sound similar to "down by the river". The verses are sung almost yelling.

The closest song i could compare it by would be Runaway Train just that it seems to be a similar kind of country influeced melancholy song, are around the same time and the same kind of band would be behind it.

Alright I have to find out what song this is because I don't hear it often at all and have pretty much no chance of figuring it out on my own since I'm not sure what the lyrics are... only what they sound like. I doubt I have them right since a search didn't turn up the song, and since I don't listen to the radio much and they don't play it at the store I work at I doubt I'll have a chance to listen to it closely to get the lyrics right for a search.

Basically, on a road trip in '05 I heard a song by a chick that sounds kind of like Meredith Brooks (at least how she sounds in that Bitch song since that's the only one I've heard as far as I know) and the one part I remember sounds like "It's the same, same same/it's the same same same". I heard the song not too long ago for a second time and it brought back all these nostalgic feelings of that road trip that I had so much fun on, and it's driving me nuts because no amount of searching has turned it up. Surely one of you knows what song I'm talking about. :/

Ok, there is this song that I took part in singing in High School and can't remember any lyrics to whatsoever, even though it very well could be some classic amazing song everyone in the world knows but me. I tried songtapper and that didn't work, so my last resort is making a very crude version of the part I remember. I know the first bit, it's the verse before the chorus kicks in.

http://www.sendspace.com/file/lpu0dd

Anyways, the high pitched parts are "ooh-ooh-oohs" if I recall correctly, and the lower parts are parts with actual lyrics. When it gets to the last bit with lyrics it gets noticeably louder and becomes more aggressive but I don't remember what they are saying so it's impossible to look up.

I suspect and hope this is an easy one because it's bugged me for a while.

FYI: I realize the first bit sounds kinda like the first line from the song in Willy Wonka "The Candyman" but that's not it, that's something I noticed while making it and thought was amusing.
