Mystery solved. It's a different artist. I had a friend over last night and I played it for her, and she said it right off, "that's not Iggy Pop, it's Billy Idol!"

"Well I wish, I was born
A thousand years ago
And I wish that I sailed
The darkened sea
On a great big clipper ship
Goin' from this land into that
In a sailors suit and cap
Away from the big city -
Away from the big city

Where a man cannot be free
Of all the evils in this town
And of himself and those around
And I'm closin' in on death

And I guess that I just don't know
And I guess that I just don't know

Ah - Jesus died for somebody's sins
But not mine
Jesus died for somebody's sins
But not mine

I don't know just where I'm goin' - Ahh
But I'm gonna try for the kingdom
if I can - yeah
'Cause it makes me feel like I'm a man
When I put a spike into my vein
And I tell you things aren't quite
the same
It's a mainline to my pain

Jesus died for somebody's sins
But not mine - HEROIN
Jesus died for somebody's sins
(I can feel it)
But not mine - HEROIN
I said, Jesus died for somebody's sins
But not mine - HEROIN

I have made a very big decision
I gonna try to nullify my life -
you know
I get so low and then the smack flows
I don't care I'm gonna make it my wife
Because when the blood begins to flow
And shoots up the droppers neck
And I'm closin' in on death
You can all go take a walk

And I guess that I just don't know
And I guess that I just don't know

Jesus died for somebody's sins
But not mine - HEROIN
Jesus died for somebody's sins
(I can feel it)
But not mine - HEROIN
I said, Jesus died for somebody's sins
But not mine - HEROIN
I said, Jesus died for somebody's sins
But not mine - HEROIN not mine,
HEROIN, smack attack

Jesus died for somebody's sins
But not mine - HEROIN
Jesus died for somebody's sins
But not mine - HEROIN
Jesus died for somebody's sins
But not mine - HEROIN
Jesus died for somebody's sins
But not mine - HEROIN
Smack attack

Don't touch that needle
V.R. H E R O I N
V.R. H E R O I N
V.R. HELL H E R O I N (forever)
And I'm closin' in on death
H E R O I N"

Here's one that's been bugging me for quite a while:

Chorus is something like, "Gotta, gotta, gotta get it done!" and the line "I'm gonna go my way," possibly "own way." That and a distinctive guitar riff are all that come to mind, but it's definitely 60s or 70s. I think I tracked it down at one point in the past, and it was the Rolling Stones, but now I can't find it again.

Hi everybody!

I really need your help. A week ago I've heard a song in the radio what I really like when I was 1young', and I don't know what its title is.
So this song brings Africa to my mind, and in it there's no singing at all, except when a woman starts humbling something like: (h)ey ma ma ma ma (h)ey...
Thanks for your help

Ohh I forgot... the song is maybe from the 90's.

Redlemon

"Sunchyme" by Dario G. The entire song consists of samples from "Life in a Northern Town" by The Dream Academy.

Any Rescue Me fans can hopefully give me a hand here. During the new commercial for season 4, a song plays with the lyrics "Stop, Drop, & Roll", which repeats a few times, and then finishes with "I'm on fire." Its an up tempo song with a British punk feel to it. I have googled until my fingers bled and am finding nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Redlemon

According to a thread on Adtunes.com, it is "Public Service Announcement" by The Bravery.

Ok, I haven't looked through this whole thread, so maybe someone has already come up with this one, but I'll ask anyway.

My brother in law was telling me about a new song he heard on the radio the other day. Something about Jewish girls and forgetting all the lessons I learned in shul. He said it was a really cool song, but I'm not finding anything with Google searches.

Sorry for the vagueness

I'm going to guess blindly without actually trying to go listen to anything or find lyrics, but guessing by Jewish and being on the radio (assuming you aren't listening to klezmer music on a college station) that Matisyahu is your man.

Stone

I'm not referring to the Rolling Stones this time. :-)

I've been trying in vain to find anything about a tune who's lyrics are nothing but a repetative rendition of the phrase, 'don't stop'. I remember hearing five or maybe six 'don't stops' in succsession along with single or other mutiple 'don't stops' throughout the tune. The last time I actually heard this tune was in 1987 so I'm not even able to hum a few bars of it for you. :-) But, I'll know it if I hear it again. It's possible that the vocalist was someone named Jimmy Scott but Im not positive about that so don't let that name limit your helpfulness. I'll be forever indebted to anyone who can point me in the right direction.

TIA

Ok, I have a song that I've been trying to figure out for weeks now.

It's on a commerical in Canada, I assume it doesn't play in the states, but it's on a "Maynard's Candy" ad; candy's like sour patch kids, fuzzy peaches, etc.

The lyric is something like "Lifes a rollarcoaster, turn me around, something something something when I'm upside down."

Right. So, you peaked my curiosity and I started digging. This one took a bit of effort, so I'm going to do a lead-up. Why? Because I'm evil like that.

First off, for those who don't live in Canada, or (like me) never turn on their televisions:



Some of you with sharp ears may be able to spot immediately that the first line is not "life's a rollercoaster," but rather "I'm a rollercoaster."

'Aha!' Thought I, 'so this is why Google failed me.'

Well, no, it's not. Turns out that this little ditty was stirring up quite a bit of curiosity :

http://ph.answers.yahoo.com/question...5171838AACmmJo

http://www.torontosun.com/Lifestyle/...71151-sun.html

Cadbury, in their typical style, was keeping mum on the whole thing.

Now, a lesser man might've been content to just leave it at that. The song is an unknown! One of life's many mysteries. Or Cadbury's mysterys, anyway (I still want to know how they get the damn caramel in the bar). I am no such man, and after further searching and scouring, discovered this :

http://majormaker.com/index.cfm?go=site.index

So, in conclusion, the song is called Rollercoaster, aka the Candy Song and it's by a rather obscure Canadian group (formed by a Bulgarian and an Icelandian, no less) known as Major Maker who are bound to be less obscure after this. The video is available for streaming on their above website.

Don't say I never do anything for you.

I have a tricky one that probably won't get solved. I heard it on the radio when visiting Boston in early 2006. It's a rap/hip-hop tune of all things so not really my taste in music but it was really good.

I think it's underground (i.e. not mainstream) hip-hop and I can only remember one line. Something like "fit in my gucci (armani?) shoes".

It was a male vocalist.

Jimmy Scott's vocals are a lot different, but the only one I can think of containing those lyrics around that time was ?

petre

hey guys, can anyone recommend me any piece of music thats really haunting, and sad to hear...not because of the lyrics, but because of the melody. The type that's really creepy and depressing, but anyhow soothing to hear...i'm not necessarily looking a single song, but a few that u guys think may be in the region.Thanks.

Try Opeth - Windowpane found here:

That track is taken from their album "Damnation" which is pretty haunting yet soothing. At least I think so

Hrm, I think the music before that one is something different. I already got that one from the end of the trailer. I am talking about the music playing before that song.

There's a song that was played on KROQ 106.7 in the mid80s something about "Me and my boyfriend like watching horror movies" I believe by the Baldy Brothers.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Sorry. Checking further on the Adtunes forum indicates that it is a "music rise" called "Full Throttle Pt. 2" by Static, also used in the trailers for Fantastic Four 2, War Of The Worlds, and X-Men 3.

I have no idea how they figure that stuff out. I can't find any other references to that clip.

Okay, here's a request for something little different.

It's a choral work that I would guess is from around the Rennaissance and written for Boys choir.

It's slow and mournful and the notable bit happens when a soloist breaks out from the harmonies to hit this really high note. He holds it for a few beats, then steps down chromatically before rapidly descending back down to the range of the chorus. He repeats that bit a few times and it's what makes the song.

I've heard it more than once and don't believe it's obscure. Any guesses?

In the closing credits of an episode of Weeds, a song was played with a gorilla theme. Lyrics, as best as I can gather:

Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? Really fun song. I'd love it as a ringtone.

EDIT: Figured it out myself. Showtime's site (http://www.sho.com/site/weeds/music.do?music=season2) has a nifty page that lists the songs played in all episodes. In this case the song is "You Look Like A Gorilla" by The Mope.

It's also worth noting that I think Weeds has the best, and most uniquely selected, music of any television series I've seen. It really adds to the allure of the show.

I am looking for a newish cover of the song Time after Time, originally performed by Cyndi Lauper. I don't know how to describe it other than a punk-like sound to it. The lead vocalist is male of the cover I am thinking of. I am almost positive it is not the version by The Awful Truth.

- Searching on Seeqpod has turned up an interesting remix of the song, supposedly by DJ Sammy. Cool, but not it. Also something by Booty Bass Ballads, also interesting sound. -


Quietdrive did it.

Okay, I'm wondering if this little piano diddy has a name.
They used to randomly pop up in Family Guy episodes and there would be two men in the and white striped outfits with the old timey handlebar mustaches. And the one always says to the other "Play me off Johnny" and he'd play a little tune on the piano...
Does anyone know what the heck I'm talking about?
