I'm trying to amass a collection of songs with clapping in them.

Heard a catchy pop/rock song in a pub last night. was probably an Australian band, it had clapping in it and the only lyrics I can recall are;

sweaty palms, I lose my calm
beneath the disco ball

not much to go on I know.

"Waiting" by Little Red. First result on google for 'sweaty palms, I lose my calm'

I am looking for a song that is jazzy and pop. It has a trumpet playing the chorus quick and sexily. What makes this song stand out even more is there is some samples of a girl flirting through out. I might be paraphasing but at different breaks she says coyly,

"I find you very attractive"
"do you want to go to bed with me"

I imagine this song came out sometime in the early 90's but I could be wrong.

"Would You?" by Touch & Go.

A pretty big dance hit in the late 90's.

I've heard a song I really liked at the bar today. It kind of sounds like classic rock (if I had to place it, I'd say '70s but I could be wrong), and it was mostly pretty hard to make out the words. Except the chorus.

It went something like this:

...and I'm singing, La la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la...
la-la la la la la la la la la la la la...
and so on.

Please help me identify it, goons?

Iggy Pop & The Stooges - The Passenger

I don't remember how the song goes at all. I saw the video on viva polska and it had boobs and a fat dude in a silvery robe and a "star hat".

The video was like a european version of blinged out rap album covers, except the star hat guy was super creepy. I last saw the video in January while I was in Kyrgyzstan. Sorry I can't be more helpful than that.

From this description, it HAS to be Verka Serduchka - Dancing Lasha Tumbai

(He's in the silver robe and hat a little way into the song.)

I heard a song on my local rap/trance radio station the other day and have been wondering what it was. It was some kind of Irish sounding folk song (lots of accordion) remixed into a techno song. That's really about all I can give for details, I hope someone knows what I'm talking about because it sounded awesome.

Not Techno by any stretch of the imagination, but perhaps Samim - Heater?

That's the only recentish song I know with an accordion in it, sorry!

Fragma - Toca's Miracle (Inpetto Remix)?

It's from last year though, so I'm guessing it's not what you're looking for, but it's my best shot.

Toca's Miracle is actually from 2000, and has been remixed god knows how many times, so it could actually be this.

Not to mention that it's a remix itself; of Toca Me, which came out a year earlier.

Splitting hairs, but it's actually a Mashup of Toca Me and Coco Star's "I Need a Miracle".

It was given an official release because both artists were on Positiva. I believe Coco even re-recorded the vocals.

This song has been stuck in my head for I don't know how long, and I have spent hours fruitlessly trying to find it. I need the power of the internet song detectives for this one.

It's an electronic cover of Smalltown Boy by Bronski Beat, but I can't find this cover anywhere but on this video... (I know, really lame video)

Thanks, that puts me a lot closer I think, giving up might be a good plan considering just how many "MAX BASS 4837" albums each with their own remixes come out every year...

If it helps, that sort of music is usually called Scouse House, Donk, or NRG (in the UK at least) so you might be best searching those sorts of compilations. You got me intrigued, so I did a little digging and I think it's a remix of a remix. This is very close:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lV_-uMCvU8

It's a remix of a 90's version of the track by Legato, this is remixed by Alex K for a Wigan Pier compilation (Scouse House UK label)

I loving hate the term Scouse House, though.

EDIT - Found the exact version as on that video, credited as Alex K though:

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand, you can find it on Track 3 of this CD.

Haha, that took a lot longer than I wanted it to :p

I found the song. I had it saved as WMA on a cd. I wasn't able to find the song when I played the CD in my car because my cd player only plays mp3's - the file never showed up in the playlist. It wasn't until I put the CD in my computer that I found the little bastard!

The file name is called meganite_tuscania.wma - so I'm assuming it's a meganite mix, recorded in tuscania? I don't know. I looked online for this name and it's nowhere to be found. Apparently nobody has uploaded it to any site (with that name at least). I will upload the song to imeem for the world to share. I'll upload the link when I get that done. Thanks for the suggestions guy, I like the songs you both suggested!

Edit: http://www.imeem.com/people/UJqodc7/music/znKd-ohy/meganite-tuscania-2003-meganitetuscaniawma

From what I can ascertain, that file is a Meganite radio session from 2003, mixed by a DJ called Tuscania. Unfortunately, I don't have a tracklist and Google is no help. I found a file called 'Meganite Radio 2003 mixed by Tuscania' on a Mauro Picotto site but the link was inactive so I couldn't verify it.

Not sure where you go from here, unfortunately

David Gray's "Babylon" is a good song in itself, but I remember hearing a version where there was some electronic effect in the bridge and during the chorus as if it were a slow dance track. I've seen vague references to a "Radio One Mix" (sometimes titled "Radio Mix One" and a "V2" version but nothing conclusive.

I've googled around for 'babylon remix' but nothing relevant comes up. Was I imagining it?

Leeroy Thornhill (previously of The Prodigy fame) remixed it under the name Flightcrank but it was only ever released on promo, that might be it? There's also an instrumental version on the CD but as it's a promo it might be hard to find. You can download the non-instrumental remix here.

Even if it's not the right version, it's still pretty good!

I'm looking for what I *think* is a trance song (possibly EBM/synthpop type of group but I'm not sure). I think it's relatively recognizable in the trance scene, and it's got this really driving beat.

The best I could do was recreate it in Mario Paint Composer, but this is my best estimation of what it sounds like from memory:

It's been stuck in my head all week and it's driving me nuts. I don't know when or where I last heard it, just that I've heard it.

1998 by Binary Finary. There's about a billion versions of it, the one you've probably heard is the Matt Darey Remix, though.

(Let it get into it, you should hear the familiar tune at 1:25. Failing that, try looking on Youtube for the Paul Van Dyk version or the Gouryella Remix. The melody is always the same!)

Posted this in the Danger thread, but maybe I'll try my luck here. I heard a song in a store (All Saints if it helps) and it's really annoying me not knowing it. It sounded like a minimal remix of Stuck On Repeat by Little Boots, but I don't think it is. The tune is very similar though, at least. It's very minimal though.

The Mr Vega remix is rather minimal, that might be it? The Fake Blood remix isn't exactly what i'd call minimal, though it is awesome!

EDIT - There's also a Frunt Room Remix which is pretty minimal as well, could be either of those?

Ok, this is a complete shot in the dark, because I can't be 100% sure it was even one track (but I think it was).

This past friday night (7/10/09) I saw Clive Henry @ RISE in Boston. It was loving phenomenal, so much of the music was amazing. One track stood out in particular, though. I'm not terribly good at describing electronic dance genres but I'd say it was a very hard, minimal and tribal/jungle influenced tech house track with a recurring sample, the very beginning of the opening song in The Lion King ("Nants ingonyama... bagithi baba" from The Circle Of Life).

It was kind of cheesy, in the use of a more overt and poppy vocal hook, but goddamn if it wasn't compelling to dance to. I'd really like to find it.

I'm sorry this is vague but I am dying for a remix of 'harder better faster stronger' by daft punk. I hear it in clubs lately but not up until the past few weeks, so I assume it's new. I live in Newcastle, Australia so it's possible it's not brand new and it took awhile to get to me or some such.

Out of the MANY remixes of HBFS, the closest one I can think of is the Jess & Crabbe Remix from the Daft Club album.

Heres a vague one. I was at a dance club a few weeks ago, and among the songs they were playing, there was this one song, it was some electronic/dance tune, but all i cant remember about it was that there was a clean piano in it, with about 4-5 chords driving the whole song, very catchy. Im pretty sure it was in 4/4, it was typical dance music speed.

Ok this has been bugging me for two days now.

On friday I went to Urban Outfitters. I rarely ever go shopping for clothes in the mall but i'm glad i did because they had some really great music playing that day.

I heard this really awesome track that sounded like it took its roots from Jeff Wayne's war of the worlds, and had a really awesome late 70s early 80s synth/instrumental groove.

Ever since I was little I always loved this style of music the best, from the aforementioned war of the worlds, or the really cool soundtracks that animated films of that era had.

Anyways, I have no idea what the track was, but are there any groups out there today that try to achieve a sound like that?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqvwxvCOSH4 The intro to War of the Worlds.

Justice the french house group achieves this sound sometimes too, and every once in awhile I hear things that approach that. I guess i'm just looking for more of the same.

thanks for any suggestions.

Highly doubtful. The track wasn't released as a single and the only other place it appears apart from the album 'Standing on The Shoulder of Giants' is on the 'Snatch' soundtrack itself. There's a live version which MAY not include the sample on the album 'Familiar to Millions' but not being a huge Oasis fan myself I wouldn't know.
