Was flipping around FM radio an hour or two ago, came across a station with rough reception (thought it might be the local university station, but they didn't have music on at this time) playing an upbeat 70's classic rock-sounding tune. Couldn't make out a lot of lyrics, just "rolling (or going) down the highway", and "keep on your toes". Singer had a strong but not weird or distinctive voice. I think the vocals had some reverby/chorusy/anthemic-sounding parts. I'd call the whole vocal sound Def Leppard-esque, but not nearly as cheesy/overproduced. Maybe closer to Foghat. Before the part with the lyrics, there was an instrumental part a couple of minutes long. Hard rock guitar soloing, reminiscent of 70's AC/DC (no, it wasn't Airbourne, sounded more authentically retro than that - still could've been some kind of modern throwback-style song, though). The song caught my ear because the guitar style was really similar to Angus Young's. All-in-all, imagine Angus Young was playing on Foghat's "Fool for the City", but slightly slower and with slightly slicker production.

Trying to find a modern indie/math instrumental band who had a hammered dulcimer player. I know they had at least one NPR-style live video on youtube.

X-posting from the GBS "white whale" thread. This is not enough information to accomplish anything but you lot have had some amazing catches so here goes: Back in 2002 I went and saw KoRn at Philips Arena. There was some music playing before the show (as venues do) and there was this one song I absolutely loved. This was pre-Shazam and no amount of Googling when I got home then up until today has given me any correct results. I *think* the chorus lead in is "I'm the best, motherfucker," with the end of "motherfucker" really stretched out and growly. Fit in well with the generic early 2000s hard rock/industrial/nu-metal thing going on in the era.

There's this song that my art teacher used to play during class in the early 90s. I think it was like a parody or comedy song, and the only lyrics I remember are "Upper East Side." It had a goofy stereotypical 90s hip hop beat and prominent violin. I don't even like the song, but it's been stuck in my head for 30 years.

I can’t for the life of me remember this. I found it on youtube, and it’s an experimental track. It features a man, I guess basically yelling incoherently. It’s not screams like metal screams, but like straight yells. There’s a bunch of random instruments happening in the background, like completely discordant. I recall atleast drums, guitars, possible sax? Finally, I think the word Cowboy was somewhere in the title. Please someone help me find this track, it was one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard.

I have a really out-there request, with almost no concrete details, but I figure I may as well ask: I'm trying to identify a song from my adolescence. I heard it semi-regularly on the local modern-rock/alternative radio station in late 1996/early 1997; the station wasn't strictly on a Top 40 format, so it may have been a bit older, but it was played enough that I assume it was a recent release. (This radio station was in Alaska, so there was some Canadian market overlap, if that helps at all.) It was a sort of lush, overwrought love/nostalgia song in the vein of "Forever Young," although I recall it being stronger on the love themes than the nostalgia ones; the first time I heard it, my first snide teenage thought is "is this one of those sappy Coke commercials?" Male vocalist, a fair amount of instrumentation, and I believe some strings, although I wasn't great at telling the difference between rock string sections and layered guitars at that age. The kicker is that I can't remember a single lyric from this loving thing. Whenever I try, my brain just pulls up the lyrics to Elton John's "Your Song" instead, which is generally similar in content (silly sappy love song with some overindulgent metaphors) but is totally different in instrumental style. Does anyone have the slightest idea what this could have been? This song hit this grotesque place in my brain where I still think of it occasionally, but I have almost no memory of its actual content, and it drives me nuts.

I could imagine a Static X song ending like that. As far as like, music I'd say Static-X was most likely but the voice isn't right. This wasn't an opening band/live, it was like, music the venue was playing over speakers. The Dope song is too fast. Too slow/too country.

Ok, I'm trying to think of an 80s song, and it sounds a LOT like the Neutron Dance by the Pointer Sisters, but that's not it. It's sort of a mix between that and maybe Holiday Road by Linsdey Buckingham. It was from an 80s comedy, and I *think* the movie starred John Candy, but even looking that up, I can't find anything, or maybe I'm just missing it. Now that I think of it, maybe it was Chevy Chase. I remember a high-pitched synth playing five notes, each higher than the last, the fourth one being the longest (like, "bah bah bah baaaaah-bup"), and that'd repeat over a beat that, again, sounded a lot like The Neutron Dance or Holiday Road. EDIT: Another sound-alike to this mystery song is the theme to the show The Edison Twins. It's in that 'everyone's happy and it's the 80s and we're all using the same beat' genre.

Unfortunately not, I've always loved this song. I'm thinking that the one I'm trying to remember wasn't that popular. I don't know why I see it alongside a John Candy or Chevy Chase movie, but I do.

Less metal-ish/music is too fast, but a solid guess. I'm *almost* positive the lyric is "I'm the best, motherfucker." Like "I'm the best (downbeat), motherfuuuuuckeeeerrrrr (gradual upbeat, metallic-y sound)"
