Master "what song is this" list? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

ohw0w · 09-29-2003, 06:41 PM

I'm trying to find a classic rock song that is only instruments. The song that comes closest to it is Allman Brothers - Ramblin Man, in terms of the instrumentals. It's about 5-6 minutes long, any ideas? Very southerny country feeling I'd say.

K-Wise · 09-29-2003, 07:00 PM

Hmm not ONLY instruments (mostly) but you should check out Fire On High by Electric Light Orchestra it's pretty nice. I'll upload it for ya.

<a href="http://www.angelfire.lycos.com/hiphop3/k-wise0/Fire_On_High.mp3">Fire On High</a>

Asta!!

dylanmarsh · 10-01-2003, 12:04 AM

Hmmmmm. You may want to check out the many surf bands of the 60's or even Herb Alpert. I know Herb deviated a bit from his regular stuff.

Where did you hear it?

ohw0w · 10-01-2003, 03:14 AM

... the radio, classic rock station, so it is more mainstream.

Redlemon · 10-01-2003, 05:36 AM

I probably won't have the answer for you, but I have some good leading questions...

.. instrumentation? How many guitars? Any strings/odd percussion/etc?

...tempo? Can you approximate the BPM?

(and K-Wise, I LOVE Fire on High, especially the introduction)

cj2112 · 10-01-2003, 06:09 AM

Yyz by Rush is one of the best instrumental rock songs I've ever heard. I don't think that's what you're looking for though.

I think I might be looking for the name of the same song. If it's not "Jessica" by the Allmans, then it might be my mystery song. I have it on tape somewhere that I taped off a radio back around 1991, I recently found it and called every classic rock station in the area AND in New York, all the DJ's I talked to and played it for were stumped. They all agreed that it was either the Allmans or Skynyrd. I'll try to upload a sample and see if any of you know what it is...

monkeydriven · 10-01-2003, 06:36 AM

Green Onions - Booker T and the MG's???

yournamehere · 10-01-2003, 07:22 AM

Are you thinking of "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed." ?

That's a pretty classic instrumental Allman Brothers song

Edited laterGot 'em confused - I was thinking of "Jessica" - not
"In Memory of Elizabeth Reed."

"IMOER" is a lot slower.

quadro2000 · 10-01-2003, 07:48 AM

My guess is that you're thinking of "Jessica" by the Allmans. Let us know if we're right. Unfortunately I can't find a sample at the moment...

Frankenstein - Edgar Winter

It's not what you're looking for, but it rocks.

mrquackers · 10-01-2003, 11:24 AM

Like several other folks in this forum, I've got a lyric in my head that's bugging the hell out of me, but I don't know the name of the song. To avoid forumjacking, can I suggest this become the place to go when you need help identifying a song.

Hell, it might even be a fun place to start a game of "name that tune"!

Anyway, the song I'm hammering my head against the wall trying to figure out (then expel) is a dance number that has a repeating chorus which goes "ring-a-ling-a-ling ding dong" and (natch) deals with the phone. Heard it in Mexico by the pool every damned day and it won't leave - no matter what I do!

Anyone know the song & artist?

costello · 10-01-2003, 12:06 PM

is it that annoying "who put the bop in the bop she bop she bob who put the lam in the ram a lamma ding dong" song?

ohw0w · 10-01-2003, 03:21 PM

Jessica it is... noyce.

ForgottenKnight · 10-01-2003, 04:33 PM

The only Mexican song I can think of is Las Ketchup - Asereje, also known as The Ketchup Song, but I don't think that's the song you're looking for....

Nope. This one's more current. It would have come out in the past year or so - and I'm pretty sure the lyrics were in English, not Spanish. "Who put the bomp" was a 50s tune.

Magpie0001 · 10-02-2003, 03:08 AM

Ok, I dont expect this one to be too hard for you wonderful people. The chorus goes:

I've got us on the highway,
I've got us in the car,
I've got us going faster than we've ever gone before.

Or something like that. The singer (male) says the above really gently & soft.

Anyone know the song???

Thanks.

P.s. Ive been thinking about that "Asta" thing for a while & I think I'd like to put one at the end of a post so here goes...

Asta!

Fearless_Hyena · 10-08-2003, 05:07 PM

OK so back on track now

ohw0w I'm glad you found the tune you were lookin for, I was gonna say "Jessica" right away too after reading your description but MikeyChalupa beat me to the punch!

So now I'm tryin to remember what this original tune is, that Jennifer Lopez sampled in the intro to Jenny From the Block:

Children grow and
Women Produce and
Some go workin
Some go stealin
Ev'ryone's got to make a livin...

IT'S KILLIN ME!!! I gotta get that tune out of my damn head!!!!! This is a bad guess but I'm thinkin it's Marvin Gaye or Al Green, or the Isley Brothers but probably not. I think maybe Diana Ross used it at some point too. It's been sampled a few times.

Can anyone help me out here???

Neato · 10-08-2003, 10:28 PM

What is the song in that new Hummer commercial where the kid makes a hummer style go cart and drive down the hill?

seizei · 10-08-2003, 10:52 PM

This has been bugging me for weeks now. We have satellite music stations at work, but no TV output. Therefore I can't check to see what the song and artist names are.

On the Adult Alternative station, a song comes on once in awhile that is soooooooooo cool... we all love it but have no idea who it is.

It's a female singer, and sounds kinda jazzy/bluesy.

Here are some snippets of lyrics:

If you cut a man's heart out, it will bleed (repeated, main line for song)

...don't freeze up... don't emotionally - seize up...

Just don't forget, it's worth the risk (song ends with that line)

not much to go on, but I HOPE someone can recognize it.

thanks

Thanks! But I was talkin bout the very beginning vocal part -- and i just figured out what it is: "Heaven & Hell is on Earth" from the 20th Century Steel Band. Obscure as hell, right? they played the original on the radio the other day...it's been sampled by a few different artists too, & I was probably originally thinking of an older popular track that used that sample...

man i must have spent hours searching for that tune!!

ps South Bronx from Boogie Down Productions was also sampled in Jenny from the Block

MSD · 10-16-2003, 08:26 PM

Recently rotated off the KROCK (NY) playlist, Sounds like Alice in Chains, I can't remember a single line of it, it's been bugging me for months. They always seemed to play it in the middle of a 92 minute block with no title announced.

Edit: found it, it's Alice in Chains - Would?

Longshot but it could be Revis - Caught in the Rain

That was on that station for a while... kind of the right voice... ish

scansinboy · 10-18-2003, 03:00 PM

I'm looking for a song, a line of the chorus is "Do I go to the Supermarket, Do I go to the grocery store?"
I've looked on kazaa with 'supermarket' as the search term with no luck.

Anyone? Anyone? Beuller?

-----------
Edit: Found it. It's 'Too High for the Supermarket' by Uninvited

Quote:

Got the craving for some lunch,
but I ain't got nothing to munch
My mind is set on just one wish
a big ol' sandwich - tuna fish
Time to make a grocery run,
I'll walk there in the morning sun
Make a list of what I need most:
Tuna fish and bread (for toast)
And though my stomach may be empty,
I'll feed my head from the horn of plenty
Roll a joint Bob Marley style
and smoke it 'till it makes me smile

Starting off in aisle one,
fruits and veggies by the ton
Hey check it out, raddiccio!
These red leaves, man, they almost glow!
And bok choy! I've always wanted to try it,
I wonder if I have enough to buy it?

It's grown in Japan, or maybe China,
or maybe some farm in South Carolina?
Just then I hear a voice in my head:
"stay focused, man, tuna & bread,"
But right now I'm in produce bliss
Oh man, I'm too high for this

Too high for the supermarket,
too high for the grocery store
Too high for the supermarket,
ain't gonna shop like this no more

(Everyone in here is staring at me...)

Sixteen different brands of tuna,
Chicken of the Sea or Big Kahuna
Packed in oil, packed in water,
dolphin friendly, dolphin slaughtered
And oh God, what about the bread?
Should I get white or wheat instead?
Or... rye! Rye's the best I've tasted
Rye is best when ever you're wasted!

Too high for the supermarket,
too high for the grocery store
too high for the supermarket
ain't gonna shop like this no more

Finally done, its check-out time,
searching for the shortest line
The Express Lane! But they don't take checks..
and you've got to have ten items or less,

so let's see...
Ding Dongs, a bag of chips,
Cap'n Crunch and some onion dip,
(it's sugar and salt, space and schism,
the yin and yang of munchie Taoism)
I got my favorite beer, Carlinger,
and pre-sweetened Kool-Aid you eat with your finger

(You lick your finger, then you stick it in the bag, then your stick it down your throat but not too far or you gag)

That's less than ten! Check me out, go ahead!
Oh, I forgot the tuna and the bread...

Too high for the supermarket,
too high for the grocery store
too high for the supermarket,
ain't gonna shop like this no more

too high (too high!)
too high (too high!)
way too high for the supermarket, yeah

In my defense "Too high for..." DOES sound like "Do I go to..."
especially since I had only previously heard the song in a loud and crowded bar...

Probaby not it, but The Clash?

Quote:

CHORUS
I'm all lost in the supermarket
I can no longer shop happily
I came in here for that special offer
A guaranteed personality

I wasn't born so much as I fell out
Nobody seemed to notice me
We had a hedge back home in the suburbs
Over which I never could see

I heard the people who lived on the ceiling
Scream and fight most scarily
Hearing that noise was my first ever feeling
That's how it's been all around me

CHORUS

I'm all tuned in, I see all the programmes
I save coupons from packets of tea
I've got my giant hit discoteque album
I empty a bottle and I feel a bit free

The kids in the halls and the pipes in the walls
Make me noises for company
Long distance callers make long distance calls
And the silence makes me lonely

CHORUS

And it's not hear
It disappear
I'm all lost

Texas Chainsaw Movie

It could be one of the songs from the soundtrack, but it sounds like a song that may have been around for a while.

The only information that I found so far is:

Quote:

the song is "This mortal coil - song to the siren"
this song is creepy in a way...it gives me the chills.

And someone else who responded:

Quote:

it's not that.
its a cover of that song.
ive actually been trying to find out the answer to the aforementioned question myself.
