I downloaded this mp3 segment from an NS server awhile back and haven't been able to identify it. Rythm guitar in the background and what I guess is a violin up front.

MMAgCh and Pootaemos were right, it's definitely Apocalyptica. It's the song Path off the album Cult. It's an original song, as well, not a cover or anything.

Edit to add: Something of my own here -- Remember that horrible Peter Gunz track "Uptown Baby"? What's that sample from anyways? It's obviously just a jack, and I love that beat, but can't stand the song, so I'd like to know where it came from.

After a bit of searching, Wikipedia's article on deja vu tells me it contains samples of Steely Dan's Black Cow and Jerry Rivera's Amores Como El Nuestro. Not sure which would be the one you're looking for. EDIT: Definitely the Steely Dan song after checking.

Oh drat, this is gonna bother me for a while because I can see the commercial in my head and hear the song but can't for the life of me remember enough to go searching. Though something makes me think it wasn't Wal-Mart.

I need help identifying an Ozzy Osbourne song. I didn't get the chance to hear virtually any of the lyrics, and what little I did hear was muffled by the retail environment I work in. What I do remember though is the long guitar solo at the end that has a melodic structure that sounds almost exactly like the refrain from "I Will Survive" by Aritha Franklin. Sorry that that is so little to go by.

While that is very little to go on, I'm assuming I can narrow it down to Ozzy songs that get radio play, and I therefore have a hunch that it might be Mr. Crowley because it's the only one that springs to mind with a long solo at the end and I can sort of see the "I Will Survive" comparison.

Also I Will Survive was Gloria Gaynor not Aretha :shobon:

EDIT: Sorry that's a pretty poor quality video.

That's La Villa Strangiato off of Hemispheres. The video cuts off the first and last like 90 seconds or so. I had to ask my Rush-nut friend because despite sounding familiar, I couldn't place it.

Every time I hear this song on the radio I prey they tell me the artist of the song or even the name but they always either cut to a commercial or to a new song. I believe it was made in the early 90's. Its a rap song but its got a reggae feel to it. I cant understand a drat thing the person says but I think the first part of the chorus says "Return of the Man". This lyric is also repeated threw the entire chorus with some other stuff throw in like, "Yeah".

Is it maybe Mark Morrison - Return of the Mack?

I've been trying to find a song that sound like it was recorded in the 60s///it's got a deep voiced man singing about a drug using hippie who tricks a girl into marrying him, and the main phrase he comes back to is either "hippie in a blender" or "hippie in a blunder," I'm not sure which.

Googling for "Hippie in a Blender" and "Hippie in a Blunder" both return songs by someone called Johnny Buckett, and they seem to be talking about the same song, and "blunder" seems to be the right title. I couldn't really find anything more than mentions of the song though so I don't know how much it helps. It was apparently a single on Fortune Records.

I suspect that this will be rather easy, since I think it's a classic rock songs (or at lest I heard it on a classic rock radio station), but Google isn't much help.

Like I said, it's a rock song, with a bluesy sound to it, and a male singer with a grating voice. The only line that I know (which makes Googling pretty hard) is the chorus line, which I believe goes something like, "We're gonna BAM, dam dam doodle, all night long". I'm probably embarrassingly wrong about the actual wording of this line, but I hope someone here at least recognizes it.

Sounds like Wang Dang Doodle. The chorus goes "we're gonna pitch a wang dang doodle all night long." Here's what I think is the original by Koko Taylor, a woman with a grating voice, and it's been covered numerous times so it might be one of the covers if that's it.

EDIT: Beaten while adding details :\ And I was wrong about the original anyway.

Okay, this description will be very vague. But the song is a pretty famous rock song. It's a song that most of you would recognise immediately upon hearing it. From what I can remember, it's also pretty mellow and up-beat and I don't remember there being any electric guitars, so it's (probably) acoustic.

The only line (I think it might be a part of the chorus?) from the song I can seem to remember goes, "... and when the [something] plays that melody...". Not sure of the wording but it's something like that. Again, sorry for the vague details.

Are you thinking of Dobie Gray - Drift Away? That's what came to mind immediately for me.

edit: on second thought, I'm thinking not. I think I can hear the song you might mean in my head but it's not coming to me.

So, it's copycat crap (the heavy piano and rock drum set were also a giveaway). Don't look in the Classical section, you won't find it. Most likely culprit: bad video game music imitating Carmina Burana but using text picked at random from the Requiem Mass or else obtained using Babelfish.

Could also be from one of the glut of symphonic metal bands, as that's exactly the sort of thing the put in as intros/interludes on their albums. Doesn't ring any specific bells, though.

You could try http://www.gracenote.com/ which is the proprieter of CDDB (Compact Disc Database), but I'm not sure how handy that is because I'm not familiar with how easily you can search in the context of trying to find out what albums a classical tune is on. Worth a try though, I think.

This thread is way too long for me to read through. Hopefully this hasn't been asked. In Tom Petty's dvd Running Down a Dream, near the middle to end, there's a song that they're singing live. They're talking about how their guitar player Howie died. The lyrics go something like "I'm going dooooowwwwn" and I've looked all over for this song, I can't figure out what Tom Petty song it is.

Any chance it's a cover of Jeff Beck's Going Down?

Right now I'm listening to "Mozart & Madness" by Savatage.

I'd like to know what classical piece this is supposed to be a rendition of.

The middle bit is based on the beginning of his 25th Symphony (you'll recognize it right away) but aside from that I believe it's actually an original piece.

At one point I thought it might have been this, but it alas is not.

The song I am referring to is slightly faster than Rainbow in the Dark.

Maybe a bit of a long shot but it's not Doctor, Doctor by UFO is it? The tempo and sound seem to fit and it has the phrase "can't you see I'm..." in there. I can't remember if UFO's singer's voice is "pretty high" or not, though, I'm so used to hearing Iron Maiden's cover of it.

Searching the Google for 'zouave je m'appelle' leads to a song called Le Zouave Du Pont De L'alma (which doesn't translate to your title) by a guy named Claude Lemesle, the first line of which is "Je m'appelle Octave". The only sample I found is a cover by a guy named Serge Reggiani, and kind of a goofy sounding one at that, so I don't know if that's it, but here's a link anyway.

I need help identifying a song my friends and I heard at a bowling alley last night and couldn't peg. It was a classic rock song, mid-tempo, and it had a piano playing a simple riff over and over, from the intro onward. Very similar to Hold The Line by Toto, which is what I thought it was at first but I was listening for the chorus to make sure and I didn't hear it. My friends thought it was a Kansas song, which it could be. There's also a decent chance that it was, in fact, the Toto song, and the bowling was loud enough that I missed the chorus. At any rate the bowling was loud enough to make it hard to pick out lyrics so I can't Google anything.

Basically I'm asking for songs that sound similar to Hold The Line to see if it was something else or I just missed the chorus. Given that it was on their playlist it's very likely a decently well-known song that gets/used to get a lot of play on (classic) rock radio.

Someone was looking for a song that sounded like Dio's "Rainbow in the Dark" a couple pages ago so I mentioned Toto's "Hold the Line", which has always sounded similar to me. Maybe I'm just crazy though. I guess I should recommend the Dio song to you. It has a simple synth riff that plays over and over throughout parts of the song, but aside from that I doubt it's your song.

Definitely not it, I'm a big Dio fan and would have known right away if that was it. My friends are certain it was Hold The Line after they listened to it so I'm reasonably satisfied I just missed the chorus. Thanks, though.

Okay I hate to pull this up again but I heard a bit of the song again last night and now I know it wasn't Toto, which my friends and I had settled on it being. There was a line in the song that I believe was the start of the chorus that said "so good to see" or "it's so good to see" or something very similar to that, but I can't come up with any clever form of that to search to find it and I don't remember any other lyrics. Singer had a high-ish voice, definitely classic rock type. Think Kansas, Cheap Trick, that sort of thing.

Any ideas?
