It's time I admit defeat. I had three songs I was going to ask about here, but after more careful listening I picked out the strains of "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh" and dug up Ponchielli's "Dance of the Hours" for one of them (I was actually looking for this). WinAmp's Auto-Tag feature got me Jamiroquai's instrumental "Wolf In Sheep's Clothing" for the other. This last one, though, is kicking my rear end. In December of 2009, I was doing some construction work in the basement of a house while another crew worked on the first floor. Their radio was tuned to some Spanish language station I'm not familiar with, and I found myself nodding my head to a catchy song that was playing. I had a little point and shoot camera on me, and recorded what I could of it: http://www.mediafire.com/?xfl2ltk9tiutigm You'll hear handling noise occasionally as I fidget with the camera, but I tried my best to keep quiet and stay still. I'd have moved to a better spot, but I didn't know how long the song was and didn't want even more shuffling sounds to potentially drown out the ending. There's a very loud, metallic clanking starting at :55, and periodic sounds of footsteps and hammers throughout, so if you listen to the file, be careful turning the volume up. Not being an audio expert, I've left the file unprocessed beyond extracting the AAC track from the video and converting it to MP3 for wider compatibility. I spent some time fiddling with the audio in Audacity, but beside finding the filtering didn't much help the sound, I realized the bigger problem is that I don't speak Spanish terribly well. And just my luck, the section with the least ambient noise is a guitar solo. The lyric I keep hearing sounds like "oye cavarlo conmigo", but I get nothing in searches for that. I tried a Spanish rhyming dictionary, and didn't get anything when trying cazarlo, calmarlo, callarlo, caballo, or anything else that seemed like it might fit. Swapping "conmigo" with "contigo", and leaving off the "oye", didn't help either. The song could be about a woman hunting for the singer, or marrying him, or going horseback riding, I have no idea. If I could be sure of the lyrics, or if I could clearly hear the DJ starting at about 1:12, I'd probably be on my way to an answer, but no such luck. I've been coming back to this every now and then over the past few years, but I keep coming up empty, and the melody is still stuck in my head. If anyone recognizes the tune, or speaks the language and can tell me what some of the lyrics are, I'd welcome the help.

Boat posted:What the hell is that song that plays in all the old 1950s "this is how things will be in the future, this housewife is able to run her entire house on this nuclear reactor in the kitchen" type cartoons/info-things? Probably Jack Beaver's "Workaday World": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHej-cvjso4 If not that one, you can probably find it in that user's other videos. Or the related videos, or just in a search for "Ren & Stimpy music"; there's quite a variety of famous old library music associated with the show.

justcola posted:This song has been rattling around in my head for awhile. I think it's something to do with working, or Russia, or both. The song itself has a sort of rhythmic clanging throughout and I remember it being sang by a male with a high voice, perhaps. It's quite famous, I think, and I seem to remember it being on old bugs bunny stuff a bit. Can't help with the second one, but is the first from Giuseppe Verdi's "Il Trovatore"? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjMHCzoneuM&t=60s

The voice sounded like from some 50's educational tape. At one point, and maybe it was the chorus, he says something like "chin chin chk chk". Any ideas?

Earl of Lavender posted:I found a short, 'Benny-Hillesque' track a year or two ago, in some video I can't remember. I think it was, at the time, referred to as 'khajiit.m4a', but it must be some generic music because I just heard it in the background of a home renovation show on TV. That seems to be "Stink Bomb" by Brian de Mercia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZebTp_v4DGM It was featured in this Gametrailers video from TGS '11, showcasing the Skyrim character creation features (while you're there, please do enjoy the fascinating variety of humorless dolts in the comments): http://www.gametrailers.com/videos/zjrega/elder-scrolls-v--skyrim-tgs-11--character-creation--cam-

NESguerilla posted:During the verse there is a bass line that sort of sounds like "in bloom" by nirvana and the chorus breaks out in more of an epic indie rock sound for lack of a better description. The rest of your description seemed to fit, but I wasn't sure about the bass line. I went looking for the video to embed, though, and it seems like people in the comments agree about In Bloom. I think you're after "10,000 Emerald Pools", by BØRNS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4GrDOOIIbk

dokmo posted:I once heard a version of Herbie Mann's "Memphis Underground" with vocals on top, consisting of two guys talking and singing about the girls walking by and how fine they are. Not a new track, the singers were definitely contemporaneous with the Herbie Mann recording. The only line I remember is "that girl's as soft as doctor's cotton". This has proved so hard for me to find I wonder if it was all a dream. Searching on variations of "herbie mann" "memphis underground" "vocals" "duets" "doctor's cotton" has brought no joy. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I figured maybe "doctor's" was something people might forget when recalling the lyrics, so I tried searching for "herbie mann "as soft as cotton"" and got one result saying it's called "It's a Funky Thing", also by Herbie Mann: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmuQ3yco6Kc I can't find a good quality version of Part 2, unfortunately.

WHY BONER NOW posted:What is the name of the genre of music you hear in cyberpunk video games, like Deus Ex. Sort of a low key synth. I started playing Xcom: Enemy Unknown and the headquarters music is rad as hell: I'm not sure if it's called anything from a music theory point of view, but I believe that kind of stuff is typically referred to as "MOD" or "tracker" music, after the type of file format and sequencer used to create it, respectively: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Module_file https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_tracker https://modarchive.org/ Whether or not it constitutes its own genre I couldn't say. Honestly the only examples of it I'm at all familiar with are the Unreal/UT/Deus Ex soundtracks, by Alexander Brandon et al.

Marching Powder posted:someone please help. i don't even know if it's the official music video but it's a dance track that i'm sure was quite well known and the video was these old dudes dancing roller skates i think at a venice beach. maybe the word 'star' is either in the name of the band or the track. sorry for the extreme vagueness but i thought something this esoteric would have been quite easily google-able but nah. There's an old Diet Coke commercial with a bunch of people dancing on roller skates; they're young, but it's shot at a beach and set to the tune of Paul Oakenfold's "Starry Eyed Surprise": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmBDeswu2dI

Rupert Buttermilk posted: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. This is a real stretch, and only vaguely matches in one or two ways, but at this point I can't resist: is there any chance you're remembering the "do do do doooooo"s from Bonnie Tyler's "Holding Out for a Hero"? It's in Who's Harry Crumb, toward the end when he's riding the stair truck at the airport: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DPZ7FVV-Js

Nuclear War posted:https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=640282039862995 anyone know the song playing as they make this weird little art piece? Its literally impossible to search by lyrics, and sound hound gave up so this is my last shot. My girlfriend and I really liked it. The Facebook user in question has a Youtube channel and an Instagram account, both of which have the same or similar content as the Facebook page, but neither of which seems to use the same music. That, combined with the lack of search results for very clear, unique snippets of the lyrics, makes me think it's some generic, royalty-free track, the kind social media sites offer up for users to avoid copyright issues with their videos. Have you checked the Facebook Sound Collection? I don't have an account, so I can't access it, but if it's anything like the Youtube Audio Library I'd imagine they'll let you sort by genre, search by title, that sort of thing. I'm assuming this one's named either "Reckless" or "Love You Reckless", by the sound of it.

Searching for things like "tindeck" only yields posts with just the word Tindeck but wouldn't retrieve URLs containing tindeck. Just checked this to be sure, and it looks like if you enter "url" or better yet "http" in the search box at the top of the page, between the bookmark and GO buttons, you get posts with the URL tag or untagged links, respectively. Not sure if it's all possible results, but there's at least a couple pages of stuff to look through, and it might be a good place to start.
