I'm looking for a song that i remember being part of a race/chase sequence from some random anime (maybe FLCL) when i was younger. It was done on a xylophone with i think some orchestral backing. It was face paced and fun.

If it was on FLCL, then it might be Kabalevsky's Comedian's Gallop (or Galloping Comedians, or the Comedians' Dance, there seem to be several translations)

Either this track was mislabeled on that channel, or I'm going crazy. I know what I saw.

The name or title might not be right. I know that DirecTV's music channels often update the song info well after the song has started, and the title and artist update separately, so you can end up with mismatched information.

If the lyrics had "dynamite" in them, it may have been some sort of remix of AC/DC's TNT, possibly one of the few thousand versions of this that are floating around.

Been looking for this for ages. My idiot brain almost forgot about it and then QI decided to use it in a recent episode.

I don't even know if it's a full song, I just need to know what in god's name it is.

It's always just referred to as "Ring A Ding" and there are hundreds of songs with that name. All I need is an artist/group name or a reference to where it's from or anything at all, something to narrow it down.

Apparently it's just a ringtone from a production music library.

If it's reminding you of a song you've heard before, you may be thinking of Frank Sinatra's Ring-A-Ding Ding.

I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm getting married this Saturday and I promised I'd be able to find a song for my fiancé’s parents introduction, but I have been unlucky so far. What I am looking for is the opening theme of a Japanese drama called "Hissatsu Shigotonin".The show ran from like 1970 to 1990, before having a reboot/remake done in 2009 or so. It needs to be the original, and not the new one. I'm getting a little desperate, so any help (artist, title, details) would be helpful. I found what I think is a soundtrack released by King Records, but it may not be the same song, and it won't get to me on time anyway :(


Any help would be great. To give a clue the song starts with a trumpet solo, has what sounds like a Spanish guitar.

Is this it? Apparently called Koroshi no Theme (殺しのテーマ).

I'm lookin' for a version of Blue Moon with a really relaxed, almost sleepy surf/steel guitar doing the melody. May be just during the bridge, it may be an instrumental track, might even be a song that sounds almost exactly like Blue Moon but isn't (but if it's that, it's as close as Twinkle Twinkle Little Star is to the Alphabet song)

The Ventures did a Blue Moon cover, but it's not particularly relaxed or sleepy. I suspect you might actually be thinking of Sleep Walk by Santo & Johnny.

For the last couple of years I have been trying to find out the name of a particular song. It came out late 90's/early 00's I think.

I am looking for a song that my mom used to have on some lovely mix CD about 5 years ago. She doesn't even remember having that CD, so no use asking her.

I think it's from the 80s or something (it's not current), and I thought it was called "A Lover Scorned", I don't remember the artist, but it's a female singer, and I don't think it was a band name, might have just been a woman's name. It's about a woman who got hosed over by her boyfriend, and she's gonna make him pay by calling his house and work incessantly and hopes he burns in hell.

It's a nice sounding song, with vocals being the main focus, but once you listen to the lyrics, it's surprising that it isn't about nice things.

I think there's a lyric in there: "I will make you pay" and "I hope you burn". I know it's not very much to go off, but maybe someone knows what I'm talking about.

I tried googling for the lyrics that I remember and the name, but all I get is Lady Antebellum and other stuff that's not it. Anyone have any idea?

Could it be A Lover Spurned? Similar, and roughly the right time period, but not a female singer.

I was in a Best Buy and they had a 3d hdtv set up playing various different promos. One was a music video that I thought was Enya but am now not sure. It was a woman with black hair (done up in a fancy fantasy look) in a forest singing to some approaching kids and I seem to recall the lyrics were about "A song for a new earth" or "a new world" or "preparing for another world" or something along those lines.

Whatever it is, I assumed it was Enya because it sounded like her easy listening chilled out style of music and she fit my general picture of how she looked in my head (woman with black hair) but my googling hasn't helped really find that particular song and Enya's hair seems shorter and less fancy than the woman I saw.

The lyrics are something akin to (in a verse) "Dancing all by yourself, you're not alone. Tell me to go to hell, I can move on. And I don't, mind, the drugs in me. It's affected my mind, and my soul is empty."

and the chorus is something like "I don't mind telling you, that I miss loving you."

I loved the song back when I was 13 (so 12 years ago) and I never remembered the name, and google lyrics proves to be useless.

1.) This protest song may be called "Maybe We Should Listen to the Young Folk" by a country & western singer. It may have been a very minor crossover hit on the charts which my dad says definitely happened in 1967. The basic gist of it is about the singer telling the older listener to at least give the young and new generation a say. A partial lyric goes something like, "... and in these times, when other countries have their missiles pointed at us..."

Several years ago, I heard an audio track on a college radio station. It wasn't actually music, it was composed of a girl with a really spacey demeanor narrating a story. In the story, she was talking about taking part in an experiment. She mentioned that the researchers for the experiment instructed her to be very careful driving home, and to make sure to sleep with a metal plate under her tongue every night while the experiment is ongoing. She said something like "on the third night, I forgot to sleep with the metal plate under my tongue."
