This is a hell of a long shot, but here goes: In the summer of 2005 I was staying in Canada and there was a commercial for Wal-Mart (I think) that was on TV every other minute. It may have been shown in the States, too-- I'm a Brit so I don't know. The commercial was animated, very stylised, and had lots of kids skateboarding or something. It was all quite slick and aimed at a teenage demographic I guess. Anyway. It had an awesome song over the top of it. Some riff-driven guitar rocky number, with some singing that came in just before the ad finished, I think. I remember at the time hitting up all the "what's that song used on that advert" sites to no avail, and from time to time I still try. I guess it's possible it wasn't for Wal-Mart because all the other ads I've seen for it in my Youtube searches have been really lovely. Does anyone have the faintest clue what I'm talking about? edit: demographic is not the same word as democratic :(

I've had some old song popping into in my head for MONTHS now and I keep meaning to find out what the hell it is. I think it's 80s or early 90s, and was used in commercials in the 90s. NAME THAT TUNE: http://popcorn.gunsha.com/name%20that%20tune.mp3 I remember it every time I listen to Weird Fishes by Radiohead, which has a guitar part in the outro that reminds me of the melody. edit: Facebook friend found it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDe9rvQRHEI It was just some bloody jingle!

I'm trying to find a song by the title of "We Both Know", but I don't know the artist name. I recall him being an elderly black guy, American I think, with a deep voice, known for his acoustic guitar playing. The song itself was a furiously-strummed pounding acoustic number, and the title lyric was and "we both know it's true". The song also had violins, and lyrics structured around "you say... I say..." This is really annoying because I know a lot about the song but no amount of Googling will recover it. edit: exactly ONE MINUTE after posting this I remembered the artist-- Richie Havens! This has been bugging me for about a month now and I suddenly found it again. Maybe this post was just needed to jog my memory. Popcorn fucked around with this message at 16:14 on Oct 31, 2010 |

Some kind of jazzy-post-rock-y kind of track that was fairly long (like maybe 6+ minutes?) and has long instrumental sections. I think. Male vocalist, sounds like it was made in the last ten years, and lyrics about a bottle of wine. Something like "there's wine left in the bottle". Help!

I'm looking for a song that has the line "I neveeeeer" in it, possibly as a backing vocal in a final chorus or something? I don't think it's part of a longer lyric, just "I neveeeer... I neeeveeer..."

I'm looking for a song by (I think) Thomas Dybdahl with some sort of frantic, bizarre brass/woodwind playing on it. I've skimmed through all the Dybdahl on Youtube but can't find it... I'm sure it was by him (or at least the cafe owner said it was) but I must have missed this drat solo.

trans fat posted:A friend of mine heard a song on our college radio (88.5 for Atlanta locals) and described it as having electronic instrumentation, talky-like lyrics that repeated a line involving "company" followed by "Oooh"s, and then a second half that was much more energetic. Can anybody help him out? Don't know the song, but couldn't you email the radio station? If it's college radio it'll likely be run by like three people (ie more likely to help you out).

OK, here's the next one no one will ever get... I was in a cafe today and this album was playing that had subdued female vocals and sort of repetitive krautrock percussion. One track in particular had quite a high, theremin-like melody playing in it. It was creepy and ethereal and minimal. I reckon it came out sometime in the last 5-10 years, from the sound of it. (edit: it wasn't Portishead, in case it sounds like it from the description) The person behind the counter said it was Husky Rescue, but nothing I can find by Husky Rescue really sounds it. I think they may have misunderstood my question because by that point a different album was playing (I did say "band before this one" but maybe they misheard). Is there some Husky Rescue album that sounds like what I'm describing, and can anyone guess at what other artist it could have been? Popcorn fucked around with this message at 01:09 on Feb 10, 2012 |

That's not it. Prepare to die! The vocals had lyrics (didn't catch any) and it was less ambient and more 'song'-like.

I have a lot of songs I need identifying at the moment, apparently. Can anyone identify this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=f743Z4lGUek#t=359s I've googled the "get out of my bed sample" but I'm getting a poor signal to noise ratio.

This is a slightly backwards one... the chorus of Somebody That I Used to Know by Gotye reminds me heavily of an old song from the 70s or 80s. I keep thinking Peter Gabriel, but I can't place it. Does anyone else get deja vu? edit: it's not a general thing, it's the chord change/melody specifically. Popcorn fucked around with this message at 22:26 on Feb 21, 2012 |

This is a hell of a long shot, but here goes (reposted from this thread a few years ago): In the summer of 2005 I was staying in Vancouver and there was a commercial for - I think - some kind of department store that was on TV every other minute. It may have been shown in the States, too, I don't know. I thought the commercial was for Wal-Mart but it doesn't seem to match other Wal-Mart commercials I've seen, and the only goon who responded last time didn't think it was them. The commercial was animated (possibly rotoscoped), very stylised, and had lots of kids skateboarding or something. It was all quite slick and aimed at a teenage demographic I guess. Anyway. It had a song over the top of it. Some riff-driven guitar rocky number, with some singing that came in just before the ad finished, I think. I remember at the time hitting up all the "what's that song used on that advert" sites to no avail, and from time to time I still try. Does anyone have the faintest clue what I'm talking about? If anyone could remember what the ad was FOR that'd give me a clue...

^^^^ This is a massive long shot, but it's not Doncamatic by Gorillaz is it? Or something by The Chromatics? I have a line from a recent-ish indie/alt song stuck in my head: "what am I doing here?" It's not Creep. Delivered kind of deadpan, murmured. Something like LCD Soundsystem or the National. What is it? Popcorn fucked around with this message at 04:04 on Oct 20, 2013 |

I have a song in my head I can't identify. I remember hating the song but it's annoying me. One of those. It was a massive late 90s/early 2000s radio hit. Female vocals, sassy RnB, something like Destiny's Child or TLC. I thought it was Whitney Huston but I don't think it is. The tiny fragment I have in my head is a quick little backing melody thing, and I have the lyric "it ain't for show". Google gives me nothing. A scrap. Can anyone pick it up? e: oh my friend just got it! Say My Name by Destiny's Child. Hooray, now I can sleep. e2: it doesn't even contain that lyric! it's a miracle.

I heard a song in Starbucks I'm trying to identify. I'm not even sure I like it that much, but it had a synth sound I want to inspect. Recent-sounding, synthpoppy, female vocal. I wrote down lots of lyrics and thought that would be enough to dig it up again, but they're so generic Google is just throwing sand in my face. The words I jotted down were some combination of: know that I am yours we will live forever they say nothing lasts forever I will never leave your side x 10000000 Can anyone figure it out?
