I need some help identifying a particular recording that is played as part of a podcast. It's at about 33:20 of this episode of This American Life. It starts out with an accordion version of Flight of the Bumble Bee and then segues into a sort of jazzy song that I recognize but can't name. Unfortunately, googling "flight of the bumble bee accordion" shows me that it's a bizarrely popular piece to play on the accordion, and without knowing the name of the other song I'm getting nowhere. Does anyone know who did this recording and where to find it?

Edit: I tried the music ID app on my smartphone, but it got very confused. It misidentified Flight of the Bumble Bee as some death metal song, and then the song it segues into as something from a 1920s French singer.

Jack Fina's Bumble Boogie.

Sorry to quote myself but I probably should have been more detailed.

The animation was really flat looking and herky jerky and I think it was from the 80s or early 90s. I could be misremembering since I saw it many years ago and I knew it was old by the time I saw it. This could be one of those Hulk Hogan meat shoes type of things but I'm pretty sure a song with a video like I described exists.

I'm looking for a certain version of a song I can't seem to find anywhere.

The song is "The Song of the Volga Boatmen."

Somewhere, I heard a version of the song without any vocals. It was all instrumental, but it sounded like the full orchestra, just with some instrument taking the vocal lines. It's definitely NOT the Glenn Miller version, or any jazzy cover. There's no swing feel in the one I heard.

I have a horrible feeling I heard it in some movie score or video game somewhere, and they just did the piece for the movie and never released a recording of it, but I'm hoping someone somewhere has got a lead. It doesn't even have to be the specific version I heard, just an orchestral arrangement with no words.

Oof. This was used a ton in cartoons back in the 50's-60's for background filler for any 'serious' scene, Spongebob Squarepants, it was used for Soda Popinski's theme music in Mike Tyson's Punch-Out for the NES, the movie Lord of War, and I would guess a dozen other movies as well since it's public domain.

...and upon further googling, I think what you may be looking for is the Stravinsky adaptation for orchestra.

A DJ at a wedding reception I recently went to played a strange song I'm trying to get the name of. He introduced it by saying "This is for all the Italians" or something like that.

It started out as kind of traditional Italian music, almost like organ grinder music or something, but then it shifted into weird dance/techno or something. There weren't really any lyrics but I remember a "be-ba-de-bop-bop" theme repeating a lot. Could've been vocal or some instrumental part, not really sure.

It shifted between the two styles a few more times and kind of blended them together. Anyone have any ideas?

That's it! I think. The effects of a completely open bar messed with my memory a bit, but it sounds really familiar. Thanks!

edit: I like how after taking a year of Italian I still heard the lyrics as random be-da-be-bop-bops

There's a couple different remixes of it, so you may want to poke around to find the one that matches what you heard; though they've all got that same middle section.

Alright Im trying to find this classic rock song. Pretty sure it came out in the 70s. I dont know any of the lyrics but it has a pretty distinctive guitar melody (Maybe at the beginning of the song?). Im not to sure but I think it may have acoustic guitar as the rhythm during that guitar melody. The notes I believe are

G, Bb, D (hold)
G, Bb, Eb (hold) , Eb, D

Sister Golden Hair? Different key signature, but same pattern.

Annoying, isn't it!

Although I don't know for sure, I think it's fairly recent, and from a PC RPG. To limit things a bit, the CRPGs I've played are the Baldur's Gates, Neverwinter Nights 1, Dragon Age 1, The Witcher 1, Titan Quest, Torchlight. I could easily be forgetting some, but those are the big ones that I spent enough hours in playing "find that bloody quest objective" to have a song get stuck in my head.

Are you sure it's from a PC RPG? I thought I recognized it, and the only ones of those I've played have been BG2 and DA1.

I'm looking for a piece of music (actually there might be more than one) that would stereotypically accompany a 'shopping spree' montage in a movie. I have vague jazz-band like melodies in my head but I can't pin one down precisely. Is there a definitive, fast paced, New Yorky, shopping tune, or am I just mixing up several pieces of music that might've been used in such scenes?

Okay, ever since I first heard Radiohead's "My Iron Lung," I've thought that the verse melody was taken from some piece of classical music. I have no idea what that piece of music is, and apparently neither does the internet.

I can hear it in my head being played on violin�maybe not the My Iron Lung melody exactly, but something so similar that I've always thought it was a deliberate reuse of a melody from a well-known piece of music. Am I insane?

Drove me nuts for about 90 seconds since I knew I had it on my MP3 player.

This is a dumb request because I don't even like the song, but you know Andrew WK - Party Hard? I've always thought the note or chord progression for the part that goes "we do what we like, and we like what we do!" sounds exactly like something, but I can't think of what it is. But it seems incredibly familiar. Any ideas?

For reference, the bit that starts at 1:20 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WccfbPQNMbg

e: maybe a commercial? A beer commercial from the 80s? I dunno but it's from something, dammit

It could be for a commercial from a Milton Bradley board game, their jingles always finished with the same three-note progression as Party Hard, usually in the same key (F major).

I'm trying to work out what the xylophone(?) track that starts at 36.51 on this BBC TV show is (that's an iPlayer link so it might not work for everyone). I recognised it from a sample in this instrumental skate video soundtrack (the part starts around 13 seconds with the main melody coming in at 0.30) but can't find a name for the original.

It's one of the Phillip Glass songs off his Amazon River album, maybe Xingu River? Cant recall exactly which one off the top of my head.

Are there any songs out there with a similar sound to 'Big City Nights' by Scorpions?

I'm not music savvy but I thought it has almost a surfboard sound to it or something, but I've been struggling to find something for awhile.

It's more of the big guitar sound of the early to mid-80's, in that spot after 70's metal but before the glam/hair bands of the late 80's.

Check out any of Van Halen's early stuff pre-1986 (Ain't Talkin Bout Love sounds a lot like Big City Nights), Boston's Don't Look Back album, Dio, early Bon Jovi, late Deep Purple, early Def Leppard, Whitesnake.

Looking for a song posted about a month or two ago, can't remember which thread, fast-paced electronica (extremely similar beat to Pendulum's Slam) but more chiptunes-like, video features a heavily artifacted screen where animals and other stuff bust out of the artifacts.

What is the Febreeze song that's been playing for the last couple years? You hear it in Wal-Mart a lot, and it sounds much more eerie than something you'd expect from a commercial for fabric softener. So I guess my question is twofold: one, what is the song; and two, why/how does the song musically have so much "tension"?

Here's an example of it playing in the background but I think the instrumentation is a little different here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlT8VcWz3LY&t=21s

Agreed on the stock music thing, either that or they just had some commercial composer whip something up. Not likely to be an actual song.

Re: tension, it's in a minor key and it's doing a chromatic down and up with three notes, sounded like D#, D, C# or something close to it. It's the inverse of the James Bond string part right before the steel guitar kicks in (and oddly enough a steel guitar kicks in on the Febreeze one right after the chromatic), so mentally you may be subconsciously equating it with spy movie music.

Okay, this is a long shot based on what I can describe, but I've seen this thread score on longer shots.

I was in Taco Bell (don't say it!) earlier today and heard this thing I kinda liked played in the restaurant. Between ordering and talking to the person I was with, I couldn't pay close attention, but what I heard was instrumental, a sort of lightly Middle Eastern-flavored, lightly psychedelic-sounding thing. To me, it had a feel kinda sorta similar to Zeppelin's "Kashmir," the part that starts with Robert Plant singing "All I see turns to brown..." The sort of thing where you might say, "If you like Kashmir, you might also like this other song." Also, I should stress that I can't say for certain that there were no lyrics at all, as I could have missed them when my attention was elsewhere. Just saying I didn't hear any.

Any ideas? I'd like to listen to it when I can actually pay attention to it, and if it's representative of the band, maybe check out some other tracks.

From that same time period, you had the Velvet Underground (Venus in Furs), Rolling Stones (Paint it Black), and the Byrds (Eight Miles High), as well as the Beatles entire Indian-inspired period.
