I've got sort of a weird one -- it's a song from the early to mid '80s that tended to pop up in the vast majority of "upbeat comedies" that made it to the movie screens around those times. Unfortunately, I don't remember the lyrics or the vocal melody, but the main "theme" of the song was a synthesizer riff that used a similar vocal-sounding "uck" patch as the Nu Shoes song "I Can't Wait" that was also popular at the time the song was around 120 bpm and relentlessly upbeat and here is the main melody as best as i remember it. any ideas? code:Freddie Gibbis fucked around with this message at 20:06 on Oct 31, 2007 |

Shoeshine Emcee posted:gently caress, where is that beat from? I've definitely heard that high la la la sample somewhere before, a bit slowed down though. okay, here, this might help. the sample that you're talking about here is most assuredly from "you don't have to be alone" by the new birth -- i have the original LP right here and even the rhymefest album credits it as the source. i don't know if that's gonna help you find your track or not, but good luck to ya

Strontosaurus posted:Can anyone name the song playing during this Hitman movie TV spot? It's not the regular Hitman theme (Ave Maria), and I can't seem to find anybody who knows. pretty sure it's just original score music -- the amazon page for the soundtrack says that it includes Geoff Zanelli's interpertation of "Ave Maria" and says that it's the song featured in the trailers. i was reading a little bit at film score monthly about the trailers and apparently they just took a couple bars and chopped it out and looped them, nobody's really very happy about it, and maybe that's why it's not recognizable in that form. the little repeating melody in there is definitely an excised segment of 'ave maria' and everything i've read about it seems to point in that direction

Da Monk posted:In all versions of "16th chamber" with ODB and method man, the sound is not clean at all! I know there is also a version of the song called "clean", but that one is remixed. Is there any clean version of the original version? It's supposed to sound like that, man, Wu-Tang has always been all about old, dusty, crackly samples, that's their sound and pretty much always has been. Plus, that's a track that was recorded way back during the 36 Chambers sessions, so it's like over fifteen years old now, the production is going to be a lot different than the poo poo that's popular now. Also, not to be a condescending dick, but when you see a hip hop song labeled as "clean", it usually just means that the swear words were edited out.

SpecialK posted:I have a song in my head that could easily be by The Cure, but I've gone through the entire greatest hits album without hearing that certain guitar riff. This riff would fit right into "Just Like Heaven", same beat, same accompanying instruments. The main guitar goes at several points in the song: i am thinking that you are thinking of "I Ran" by A Flock of Seagulls but i could be horribly wrong. your super-scripted "bews" are making me think of a real obvious delay and the two songs are from similar eras and are around the same tempos.

So it has some guys shouting Mentiosa over some sax. im just gonna take a wild guess and say that there's a chance the sax is lifted 'T.R.O.Y.' by Pete Rock and CL Smooth since it's a real 'upbeat sax part and the fact that it sits by itself at the beginning of the song means it's a perennial favorite for DJ's to mix in to other tracks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyk5Sb7ADi4 i'm probably wrong but it's what your description reminds me of

UnL337 posted:I'm looking for a song that my dad told me about that had something to do with John Lennon. He said that he bought a John Lennon album, and it was the last one that he ever bought because he thought it sucked. He mentioned one song in particular. It was a song in which Lennon strummed a guitar cord and screamed, "WELL!" Afterwards, he strummed again and repeated. Dad said that at the end of the song, Lennon's voice was raspy from yelling so hard. The only Lennon song I can think of that ends with him screaming is "Mother" from the Plastic Ono Band record -- it ends with a section of him repeating "Mama don't go / Daddy come home" and by the end he is pretty much bawling. It doesn't have the word "well" featured prominently in it but is on the same record as "Well, Well, Well". Is that it?

Young Cato posted:Back in middle school my mom always used to play the local smooth jazz station in the car. There was a song I had heard multiple times and liked a lot. However, due to lack of lyrics I really have nothing to go by in terms of googling. It was just an acoustic guitar melody played over and over, with maybe some light drums in the background. I think near the middle of the song some female come in, going "da-da-da, da-da-da" along with the melody. Sounds a little latin, maybe. Any ideas? Man, I want to say that it sounds like you're describing the Getz/Gilberto version of "Girl From Ipanema" but that has singing through most of it.

Jive One posted:I heard a song on the radio today and now I can't remember the full title or the band. The station was Sirius Buzzsaw and they play classic hard rock, basically Hendrix, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Van Halen, etc. The band who performed this song falls into this category, and I remember this particular song sounded a bit more artistic and slow-paced, a bit like Rush or even Dream Theater. Also, the DJ had said the lead singer was dead. The title of the song included the word "sun" among a few other words, although that may not be too helpful. Hopefully with these clues someone may know what song and band I'm talking about. i'm pretty sure that you're talking about "children of the sun" by billy thorpe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qSlDZ27BAY

The Deadly Hume posted:A Rollerskating Jam Named "Saturdays" by De La Soul? It's from 1991. The female vocal kicks in around 1:37. Most assuredly not it, unless me and this fella are thinking of two different songs. I definitely know this track.  The "Saturday" song in question sounds more like Olivia Newton John, it's like early 80's soundtrack music or aerobics stuff or something, and it definitely includes "Saturday, what a day!" at the end of the chorus. It's one of those songs like "Celebrate Good Times" that you always hear in the background of corporate training videos and poo poo.

complord69 posted:If anyone knows this song bless them, because I have been looking for it for awhile. I saw the music video on MTV back in the late 90's. The main lyric I know is 'forty-five' and is repeated a lot. I believe the main singer is Arabic because of a strange accent when singing. The music video is a bunch of dudes playing instruments in a room with the number 45 everywhere and of course record players playing 45s. The reason I ask for it now is that it is playing in the background of the new "The Love Guru" movie trailer. It is hard to pick out but it is there. If anyone could figure this song out, it would be great. I'm 95% sure you're talking about Brimful of Asha by Cornershop. The chorus is "Brimful of Asha of the 45" over and over again -- Fatboy Slim remixed it and the video is pretty similar to what you're describing, although SLIGHTLY different. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XniTypXFje4

okay, here's one, i'm looking for a song that was definitely from the mid-90's, the music was pretty "grungy" but the song had some shimmering vocal harmony work pretty much through the entire thing. The song did the loud/quiet/loud thing where the chorus was a big "EXPLOSION" but the verse was just drums and vocals and REALLY distorted bass. I'm pretty sure the progression was just a I - V - iii - IV or something very similar. I can't remember any of the lyrics except for at the very end, after the chorus repeats, the vocalist sings "I'd hate to -- understaaaaaaand you" and he stretches it out for a really long time. edit: Just popped into my head but there is a bridge or a pre-chorus in this song as well where the guitar gets all swirly and flanged out and the vocalist sings "...and I'm waiting" a whole bunch. Google has yielded nothing! Help! This should be enough detail, right? Freddie Gibbis fucked around with this message at 21:53 on Apr 9, 2008 |

I really can't think of any other songs that say saturday that much even though I'm sure I've heard one with a female vocalist and a ton of synths. Honestly, though, I'm really thinking it might be the Who version that dude is thinking of, it sounds quite different.
