FourLeaf posted:Holy poo poo thanks! Awesome I heard some Dizzee Rascal today and was reminded of this post, looking at it again, the song doesn't really fit those lyrics but just in case, check out Wot U On. Reading your post again though, I realise I'd totally missed the first part about the taxi and now I can totally see a woman singing in one of those yellow New York cabs but can't for the life of me remember the song. I want to say Massive Attack maybe? Someone from the mid to late 90s. drat you

I'm looking for a track that came out this year. Indie rock/psychedelic/folk The band had an album out just a few years ago that had some sort of gimmick, all the lyrics were taken from some book I think? They have a definitie Sung Tongs/Feels era Animal Collective sound to them, I'm pretty sure the article I read on stereogum/pitchfork/etc. about the track released this year made that distinct comparison. Thanks!

Jelleh posted:I got a new request now; can anyone give a track name on this? I can't find the song itself, but if it helps any I'd swear the dancing is from the minor YouTube sensation "Groovy Dancing Girl" wherein the girl in question is dancing to Daft Punk's "Harder Better Faster Stronger". Seeing as the two tracks have a very similar sound and the lyrics to your song also seem to include "groovy dancing girl" I'd suspect it was some sort of sideways remix or non-infringing homage that comes with the creepy Vocaloid dance animation software (MikuMikuDance) they made that video with. Unless Daft Punk actually did some kind of shoutout song to Sophie Merry, which I suppose isn't entirely out of the question.

Does anyone know the name of the song that had a videogame-esque music video involving all the band members in white spacesuits running around some industrial complex shooting black soldiers? Pretty sure the band was Japanese, it was on heavy rotation on MTV2 or whatever the rock MTV was called years ago.

Not so much a song as a video, but... A long while ago, maybe 4 or 5 years ago, I saw a version of One by Metallica on YouTube. It was the music video version, except someone had taken the music and made it awful in an editor. So the guitar is plinking, the drums are horribly out of sync, and I think the vocals are really low in the mix. It might have been part of a series. Anyone know what I'm talking about? Thanks in advance. Also, thanks to whoever identified that P.O.S. song for me!

I recently heard a house or lounge tune that was set to a male voice explaining music concepts and introducing instruments. The voice sounded like from some 50's educational tape. At one point, and maybe it was the chorus, he says something like "chin chin chk chk". Any ideas?

Two videos: 1) Black & white video, German artist + sung in German. Most (all?) of the video is shot in the cockpit of a WW2 fighter (StuKA?), looking back at the guy singing a slow, melancholy song. Came out around late 90s? 2) Another German song, came out 2007/2008? Rap song, chorus sung by a mixed black lady (German, again), and the main rapping done by a German black dude. The video was high in contrast, eg. lady was wearing white, in front of blown-out (white walls) train station / air port?

This isn't actually about identifying a song, but a genre. Under what genre would this be classified? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiFMVWXcPFc I was thinking in some kind of underground, metropolitan jazz, or something like that Thanks in advance!

This is a long shot but I remember a song my dad used to play when I was a kid, where the narrative of the song involved a house burning down (I think?) with the specific image of a clock on the wall melted or broken, stopped on whatever time the fire happened. At least that's how I remember it, but the clock was definitely important. I think it was kind of a folky, acoustic tune-- he played stuff like Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, early Bob Dylan. I remember it being on a tape with some version of "Garden Song" but I don't know if that was a mix my dad made or some kind of compilation. I would have listened to it in the late 80s or early 90s but it was probably older than that. Also, there was a song on some CD I had in the mid-nineties (probably 94-96) that I don't remember a lot about but would really like to hear again. It was a female singer, someone along the lines of Maria Carey or Celine Dion. I think it may have been the last track on the album. The lyrics were kind of vague/abstract but as a kid I understood it as a story told by one of a pair of people (children? animals?) who were homeless, lost and wandering in the woods and then found and taken in by a family or something. It contained a line near the end that was something like "and now we are one" and however it was phrased made it really confusing to me (I couldn't figure out if that referred to age and they were supposed to be babies or possibly animals, or if it was some reference to them being the same person or something.) There might have been a fire involved in this one as well, being the event that made them homeless. I know both these requests sound really stupid but it seems that the things that stick with me from songs I heard in childhood are the narratives they created in my head at the time (which may or may not be accurate to the actual meaning of the song.) Any ideas? Thanks! squeegee fucked around with this message at 03:30 on Jun 20, 2013 |

Okay so I've been having trouble finding a cheesy-sounding instrumental that has been driving me nuts, because despite not being that great of a song, it has been stuck in my head. It has a xylophone doing repetitive eight-note arpeggios with occasional, extremely simple surfer guitar interludes. Speed was around 140 bpm, major key of some kind. Xylophone arpeggio was 1-3-6-5, rest rest, 1-3-6-5-3-2-1, 1-3-6-5, rest rest, 1-3-6-5-3-2-3-2-3-5, 3-2-3-5, 3-5-3-2-1, 1-3-6-5-3-2-1.

Probably a stupid question, but on the hip-hop radio stations, they'll have DJs mix together current/ slightly older rap songs into a single ~15 minute track for rush hours, etc. Is there a genre name for this besides " tha DJ HOTBOYZ remix"? It would make for some perfect workout music.

Can someone help me identify an album? I dont remember the name of the band, but the album was prog-rock to the best of my recollection, it had a sci-fi theme with several songs dedicated to stories about a "ghost" spaceship.

There's also Mastodon's Crack the Skye (2009), in which a space traveler passes through a wormhole and winds up inhabiting the body of Grigori Rasputin.

The Fall of Troy's album Phantom on the Horizon is similar to that. Wikipedia said "The concept behind Phantom on the Horizon tells the fictional story of a Spanish galleon meeting with a ghost ship from another dimension." Not quite spaceship but it's close.

This album was from the 80's I believe (possibly 70's), and it was about a literal spaceship, whose crew is dead. One of the songs is about another ship being attacked by pirates and the ghost-spaceship coming to their rescue.

Ok I apologise for how vague this is but here goes. I was watching a Hits of the '90s countdown and there was an R&B song by an all-female group. It wasn't Destiny's Child but it sounded like them. I'm pretty sure there were 3 members but it could have been 4. In the video, one of the members is on a bed singing in like a nightgown thing while a guy in a shirt that looks kind of like a dashiki films her or takes photos. I don't remember any lyrics or I'd google it. The production values seemed more mid or late '90s than early '90s. Any ideas? I don't even want to listen to the drat song but it's been annoying the crap out of me for a week not being able to name the group or song. he;lp

My first instinct went to the group Total because of the Mase - Tell Me What You Want video (that YouTube link doesn't work in UK but you can find it on Dailymotion). After watching it for the first time in years, there's no photographer so it's probably not that. Song holds up not bad, though. A good resource might be the 'similar artists' section on Last.fm - here's the Similar artists to Destiny's Child - there's 17 pages worth of girl groups / solo acts there. Might be enough to trigger your memory.

There was this song on the radio that I really liked but forgot to get the name. All I remember is that the band was going to be at a 1$ concert in Philadelphia some time about a month ago and that the singer sounded a lot like the guy from panic at the disco. ** I think the song had something to do with running or run was in the title or this little piece of information might be something completely different it has been over 3 weeks.

None of the names rung a bell so I ended up plugging names into youtube and looking for music video thumbnails that matched what I had in my head. It was En Vogue - Don't Let Go. I was so wrong , too. There are actually 4 members, not 3, and the guy in the video is wearing pajamas. I guess my memory is racist and just puts any black man into a dashiki.

I'm looking for two songs. One of them is an alternative rock song; the chorus has the word "copacetic" at the end of the second line. It's not a recent song, it's been around for awhile, and I used to know the name but it's totally gone now. The other is kind of a rock/reggae mix and starts with the singer naming a bunch of situations in which he smokes two joints. Thanks in advance for any help.

Electronic music, was played a lot on Viva (a German pop music TV station) in 1997 or 1998 (whichever year Rockafeller Skank came out). May well have been played a lot elsewhere too but I was stuck on a piece of rock in the middle of the ocean that year so... The video had spraypaint dudes running away from the cops and the 'chorus' had some robotized voice 'singing' something that I never really got. (Okay this is a long shot but I guess if any Germans of appropriate age are around they might know this. I guess it was something of a hit, after all.) EDIT: Been listening to electronic music from the 1998 German charts and gently caress me if EVERY one of them doesn't have a robotized voice. 3D Megadoodoo fucked around with this message at 22:02 on Jun 29, 2013 |

This one is a longshot. See, I can't remember the song. At all. No lyrics, nothing. I can, however, describe the music video in some detail. It's animated, drawn rather like something a kid might do in crayon. Starts with a little boy playing with a ball. The ball bounces in time to the music, which had a strongish beat. Next, some animals fall out of trucks, I think? Zoo animals. The kid frolics with them and the like for a bit. I believe on a playground at one point? Then the military shows up. I think helicopters and tanks? And shoot all the animals. Yeah, kinda dark. Has anyone seen this before?
