I couldn't find anything either. With the amount of info you have my best guess is that it's just not a well known artist. Shazam and Google don't seem to recognize anything about it despite you having almost a minute of the actual song+ lyrics.

This poo poo has been bugging me for more than a decade already, but I just remembered about it already when listening to some old dnb. All I can remember is that the music video had a female news anchor saying the words "HIV/AIDS", "Radiation", "LSD." If you're from South America, you might've seen it in Locomotion in the late 90's/early 00's. I want to believe this is an actual song and not just some bizarre fever dream.

Right, so a while ago, I drove down to Dublin and on the radio they played this song, and I can't for the life of me remember its name. I think it was from either the 1970s or 1980s (my mum was in the car at the time and said she remembered it from when she was at school); it was mostly based around synthesizers, and it had these clips of a telephone call. I think it was meant to be an astronaut or a spaceman's wife ringing him up, or something like that. Any thoughts? Sorry the description's a bit vague.

Moai Ou posted:My only clues art that it's length is 3:57, and that the file is named "BOA - money.mp3" The problem, however, is that none of the bands & singers with the name of Boa that I can find have a song with that title. This seems to be it, and gives a recording year of 2001, but I'm not curious enough to actually go downloading things from strange Czech websites, and I don't speak Czech, so dead end for me. According to last.fm, there is a czech rock band called Boa, but they sound pretty dissimilar to what you have there. My guess is that BOA is an acronym of the band's name, and it's actually called Bank of America or Bonding Over Alcohol or something more plausible using those initials, but haven't had any look searching for that.

I'm trying to find this song that played on the Halloween Muzak at work. It's not much more than a boring techno/electronic beat and a guy saying "the ghost" and "the darkness" now and then. I spent an hour or two searching (and getting a ton of hits for the movie) and the closest thing I found was this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZd3Cr6RAL8 but the one I'm looking for is more... uh, boring and I assume much older. It's possible that it's the same voice sample, not sure though. Any help?

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but I saw a neat album cover the other day, where it was a picture of a wall in a house, and the title was spelled out in a birthday-style banner on the wall , and it might have had the word "friend" in the title? I think it was pretty new, as well. Edit: turns out it was All Your Favorite Bands by Dawes. Coffee And Pie fucked around with this message at 00:08 on Nov 5, 2015 |

I've tried everything and this seems like the most likely place to ask this question. Has anyone watched Kingdom on Audience channel? The drama with professional MMA fighting as a backdrop (surprisingly good)? There's a song in the first episode in season 2 (I'd clip it here but as there's nothing on youtube with the scene in it, I can only hope someone here has seen the show and knows what I'm talking about) of the show wherein a main character named Ryan is sitting alone screaming and smacking himself in the head to get hyped up for a fight. I have been to the show's website, I've been to their facebook page, I've even asked in the show's discussion boards on imdb. But given that it's not as immensely popular as, say, TWD or GoT or whatever, no one seems to know, Shazam comes up blank, and few people are discussing it in the first place. The only lyrics I can discern are "Walking by the river..." and the rest I can't make out, so google searches bring up nothing either. e: I guess it could be a cover of something, but I have no frame of reference given what little I can hear of the song, so I'm hoping someone has seen the show and recognized the song. life is killing me fucked around with this message at 01:42 on Nov 3, 2015 |

The funniest song I've ever heard was when I was around 13 years old. It was off some local radio station music festival CD. Jamin 94.5 I believe, for those of you in the northeast US. Memorized the drat song but have no clue what the title is and googling the lyrics isn't helping.Awesome Song posted:Sometimes late at night, when the world is asleep.

The verses in Taylor Swift's "New Romantics", the parts where theres an echo/choral backing, remind me of another semi-recent song that might be sung by a male. It is not Bastille's Pompeii.

I heard some song on an alternative station maybe 3-4 years ago. I'm probably getting the details all hosed up, but it was about some well known black guy (athlete, actor, musician) with a beauty salon or something along those lines. It kind of stood out because it wasn't somebody you'd expect a song to be written about. Like a song about Barry Sanders and his new line of makeup products.

This played at work a while ago and I have been spending literal weeks trying to track it down to no avail. During that section of time, they play a lot of classics/older stuff, which might narrow it down. There's a male vocalist and a strong brass backing on the first and third beats during the verse/chorus. I have a really vague idea of the melody, but unfortunately the ambient noise was too loud to hear any of the lyrics. I think the melody went something like this. At the end of the track, there was a flute solo as well, and I think I may have heard small flute exerpts shortly before the end as well.

Aghhh I was trying to Shazam a song in a cafe but it was too loud. It sounds kind of like... soft Bee Gees mixed with ELO mixed with Flaming Lips vocals? The percussion basically is muted bass drum that almost sounds like a heartbeat. In the background there's male vocals that are like angelic "ahhhhhhhhhhhh, ahhhhhhhh." I have no idea if this is old music or new music that sounds like older music. The melody, if you can picture this mentally, goes something like: d---f--g-f---d-----d---f--g-f---c#-------a---c-a-c#---c#---a-e------d------- HALP

Electronic/house from the early 2000s, harsh sawtooth synth melody and the quote "Caw, caw, bang, gently caress I'm dead" from The Crow as a repeated sample. You'd think with that to go on it'd be easy to find but I can't for the life of me come up with it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POCUgBSVENQ I heard I'm A Man by the Spencer Davis group recently, and the descending chords at around 0:30 have been driving me nuts thinking of another song that sounds like them. I'm thinking it's something proto-punk, along the lines of the Stooges, but I could easily be mistaken. Any ideas?

I heard this one coming from a car stereo, so it might be in radios. It had the words "show me, show me, if you love me". Female singer, very poppy and bubbly, almost eurodancy. Any lyrics with "love" in them are effectively ungoogleable, so I'd appreciate any help!

Heard what I'm guessing is a pretty recent, "chill", pop song in a store in the mall yesterday, H&M or some place like that. The only lyric I can remember is the chorus going something like "Baby ooohh ooooohh oooohhh" which is basically ungoogleable. I think the verse was kind of a reverb-y 2 chord mellotron thing. edit: female vocals, forgot to mention that key point Flux Equals Rad fucked around with this message at 19:57 on Nov 12, 2015 |
