I had to figure out which movie you were talking about first, I knew the scene you were talking about I just couldn't remember the details though. Then I was sitting on the can and BAM! it hit me, check if it's Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana, it is probably that.

Nope that's not it either. It's a late 70's--early 80's song I think. :crazy:

Got an odd one for you all. There is one guy who does all his songs to the preprogramed beat that comes on the old casio keyboards. He is also mentaly retarded. He had one song I think was call "I kicked Batman's Ass". Funny, funny stuff. Anyone know his name?

Could it be the Bob Dylan song "I Want You"?

That'd be everyone's favorite schizophrenic street musician Wesley Willis.

He died last year from leukemia.

Didn't see this.

The song is very mellow. The singer isn't loud. I can't hear any loud guitar or even a drum line, maybe a piano.

All I know as it's a slow singer with a mellow voice, and not much beat but that do do or du du, i dont know what to use really

He sings that a bit in the song, i wish i had more to say.

Let me try and get the whole beat out, but damn it hard with words

du dudu dudu du dadu dudu dudu

Something like that, gesse it can be like anything.

I heard it on Chom which is a classic rock station up here in montreal. Anyways anything you can think of would be great.

If someone is actually singing the "du dudu" stuff, it might be Lou Reed - Take a Walk on the Wild Side. But if that's just the beat, that's probably not enough to go on.

I LOVE YOU
OMG I LOVE YOU SO MUCH

no problem :)

It might not be on the soundtrack, but all the songs that were used at all in the movie should be listed here, so you should be able to find it (I'm assuming you're talking about Dickie Roberts, but I haven't seen it; I just don't recall a scene like that in Spade's other movies):

Soundtrack Listing page for "Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star" on IMDB.com

Sweet! Thanks Booray! It's "Ride Like The Wind" by Christopher Cross.

This has been driving me nuts!!!

glad to help

ok, I'm looking for a rap 'song' (and I use the term loosely). I don't know the name of it, or the artist, but I do know that it is a coherent song, and EVERY word in the song is in alphabetical order.

I'm trying to find the lounge version of Down With the Sickness that was in Dawn of the Dead. Does anyone know if it's got a different title? Kazaa had no luck as far as I could tell.

I didn't see the movie, but it is probably by Richard Cheese, off of his Tuxicity album. I just ordered it from Amazon, but I don't have it yet. His "Lounge Against the Machine" album is awesome.

Some legit downloads available here, but not that song specifically:
Richard Cheese & Lounge Against The Machine - iloverichardcheese.com [ music / video downloads ]

{edit} Just saw on his webpage that this is the song.

Guess what.. yep.. need a song or artist.....
It from the movie Daredevil, no, not ont he soundtrack. For those withthe DVD, it's scene 15 I believe, of the rap genre.
Opening lyrics start like
"I'm an outlaw..... "and main chorus may contain "How it feeeels"
I checked the damn credits at the end, but everything I sampled was no the song... really kinda pisses me off, ohwell. Any help is appreciated.

Sounds like it might be "Lapdance" by N.E.R.D. (from the album In Search of... )

Just heard a song on the college radio, one of the final lines was

"The alligator is still alive"

Genre: kind of indie rock, i guess.

Anybody know the song? thanks.

Yup, definatly Lapdance.

Just wanted to *bump* this question, 'cause I'm interested now as well.

OK I am back. I heard another song on the radio, it's against classic rock. The thing is there really aren't any lyrics it's more of a guitar and some yodelling or something. The guitar is very distink. It goes something like this: Nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah, nah, nah, nah, nah nah

It's with a guitar, if someone gets it you are a god, it's seem very vague, maybe I will think of more

"Nah nah nah"? My first thought would be "Lovin, Touchin, Squeezin" by Journey. The entire last half of the song is simply "Nah".

Nah, it has no singing almost what so ever, it seems like the only thing that comes close to lyrics is some sort of yodelling. The nah nah part is how the guitar beat goes. I don't know how to many a guitar beat with letters, so i just did the beat as it came to my head, and used commas for the breaks between guitar "rests".

I think it's Focus - Hocus Pocus

HAHAHA
I did it myslef, thanks anyways man.

OK, another song from another movie. Walking Tall (or possibly Hellboy, I saw them both the same day) had a version of Blue Monday with a woman vocalist. Does anybody know who it was?

Can you guys figure out these tunes:

1)What's the backup song being used for the beats to "The Zealots" by the Fugees?

2)What's the MIDI-ish beat used in the background in the song "I'm Kurious" by Kurious George?

Hey guys, I don't really think that this belongs in this thread, but I'm gonna ask here anyways. I'm looking for a song by Paul Oakenfold called "See It." The only time I've ever heard it was during Frequency, a game for the PS2 by Harmonix. If anyone can help me find this song, I'd be extremely grateful.

Thanks.

Got a stumper for you, not a what song, but a what artist- recently, ie last few years, somebody did a version of the old country song, el paso, by Marty Robbins, as a fast, punkish or maybe metalish remake, desperately want a copy, but don't know who sings this version- any help would be great......

According to my sources, this song has been covered by:

Old 97's
Giant Sand
Grateful Dead
Butthole Surfers
Don McLean
Kirsty MacColl
Meat Puppets

Have fun figuring out which one you want! I'd start with the Meat Puppets.

Again, based on my sources...

Orgy
DJ Dan
Times
Flunk
Nada Surf
Kylie Minogue
Transona Five
Flipside
DJ Pebbles
David Lashmar
Swan Lee
Plastikman
Television Personalities

I'd try Kylie or DJ Pebbles first.

Ok guys, I've got another one. You know the song that plays the exact moment before the Crazy 88 fight in Kill Bill, not Ironside, but the other one that plays when the Bride cuts off Sophie Fatale's arm. That song. Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT:

Alright, I managed to find out the name of the song, it's Ennio Morricone - From Man To Man.

But does anyone know where I can get it from?

EDIT v2: Man I'm stupid. That shit is on iTunes.

We just lucked out; kl0pper posted the lyrics in the The I hate rap post. The answer is "Alphabet Aerobics", by Blackalicious.

Does anyone know the name of a punk song played on a mountain biking video with the lyrics that starts with:

It all started with a thunderclap, i'm breaking waving, traveling up to my knees, floating away

and a chorus that goes like:
when i close my eyes it makes midnight shine blue
riding away that brings me closer to you
if i fall i wonder if i could ever get up again
take me to a place far away...

Thanks for any leads.

Looking for the artist of a song. I think the song is called "bad luck" I've heard it on much music, and CBC 3. THe video for it involves a teddy bear and a doll, and its messed up. there is some sort of radiohead-esque guitaring in the background. I think the chorus goes "you'll never know where I go when you're not around, yo'll never, ever know. " Any help would be appreciated

***Edit - I have finally found the artist, I suggest you listen to this song, its pretty cool "bad luck" by royal city

I'm looking for a song. I know it came out 7 years ago. It was played on "alternative rock" radio, and then I think it made it onto the pop radio stations. It had like a latin feel or sound, and it was about driving or a road trip. It came out right before "How Bazaare". The song is not "you let me change lanes while I was driving in my car whoever you are". I've been looking for it forever.

How about The Men - Church of Logic Sin & Love. It was mostly narrated, with a sung refrain.

I can't find that song on kazaa so I'm not sure. I don't remember the lyrics, and I think I knew the lyrics to the song I'm looking for. However, the song I'm looking for is structured exactly like that one. 3 verses detailing a rode trip, and then chorus in between. That probably is it, but I'd have to hear it. Thanks.

I thought of another one: The Way, by Fastball:

I need help with an REM song
 

I think it's one of their older ones (orange crush era)

Part of the chorus goes: "crash, boom, bang, tie another to the ground, baby. . .or something like that.

HELP!!

It's been driving me nuts!!

The song you're looking for is "Whoever You Are" by Geggy Tah.

"All I wanna do is to thank you, even though I don't know who you are, you let me change lanes while I was driving in my car...."

Re: I need help with an REM song
 

"Drive"

It's on Automatic for the People.

Actually, for some reason I can remember that song, and I was going to write that it isn't that song, but it's from about the same time. Red lemon probably had it with the first one, but I don't know.

I have another one. It's the only choir type piece of music as ubiquitous as carmina burana. They play it on movie trailers and such, and ads. I think it might be on a redman song even.

I have a tendency of making an ass of myself sometimes. I now see that you typed that it wasn't that song....another dumbass moment for me. Sorry about that.:)

If you can name a single advertisement, check out this site: Adtunes.com > Find TV Commercial Ad Music.

I think maybe Armageddon, or an old add for the navy, but that site doesn't go back far enough.

Here's the Armageddon trailer:
http://www.movie-list.net/classics/armageddon.mov

There's a bit of a cappella at the beginning, but it sounds pretty generic to me.

Yea, thats not it. Maybe it was just on a small tv commercial for it. It is the equivilant of carmina burana. #2 on the list of that kind of songs.

Re: Re: I need help with an REM song
 

Thank you sooo much, I feel like a total dork for not knowing the name.:crazy:

Can you guys figure out these tunes:

1)What's the backup song being used for the beats to "The Zealots" by the Fugees?

2)What's the MIDI-ish beat used in the background in the song "I'm Kurious" by Kurious George?


EDIT: #1 is I Only Have Eyes For You by the Flamingos

2nd background riff used in the song "Fuckshop" by 2 Live Crew. It's comes on right after the Sweet Child o'mine riff.

2nd background riff on "Fuckshop" is "Ain't talkin about love" by Van Halen.
that's followed by a sample from "Little Bit Of Soul" by Music Explosion

I'm looking for the actual song or artist.
It's title is probably "Edelweiss", a UK mix (dancey) done from the song in "the sound of music". Late eighties possibly early nineties.
Any help appreciated

is it the version with yodeling on it? That was so cool. The song title is "Bring Me Edelweiss" and the band is Edelweiss.

K, so I need to know either the song title or the person who sings this song I heard on the radio the other night. It's a mellow song about a woman wanting to kill her boyfriend. The lyrics have something in them about "I could do it in the water" ?? Or something like that. The whole song is about her plotting to kill her boyfriend and how she would do it and what emotions she would be going through. It's an interesting song and it's bugging me because I can't figure out who it is :)

It's an 80's rock song that has this as it's main line (it is said fairly fast)

"come on baby light my candle cuz ....."

i cant remember the rest

Ive been looking for years, i cant find it.. help! I will bow down to thee who helps me

This is a classic rock song from 1968. I think it's somewhat popular, and I'm pretty sure a "modern" band covered it somewhat recently. I think the chorus goes pretty fast, that you can only catch some of the words if you know what they are saying. There's a hint of reggae in it that I don't think the cover copies. I remember that the voice is a black guy with a gruffy sounding voice.

Please help me :(

Black Crowes, "Hard To Handle". Please commence the bowing... :D

i bow to thee, seriously... thank you so much

It may be hard to identify this one.. as I'm not sure if it's Australian or International.

Basically, it's a guy singing (like boys-2-men type voice) to an ex-girlfriend (I guess). I think it's about how he was hurt by her or doesn't need her anymore. There's music, but it's pretty much his voice that makes the song. It's fairly new (here in Australia), so that means it could be a month old in the States. It's starting to get a bunch of airplay. I can't remember any actual lyrics, but I remember thinking that the song sounded like a normal little soft love song.. until you listened to the lyrics and they were semi-lewd. Not what you'd expect .

Any ideas? Please? It's driving me nuts.

This should be a relatively easy one. In the movie Pulp Fiction when Vincent takes Mia to Jack Rabbit Slims, she gets a $5.00 milkshake. Vincent takes a drink, says something and then leans back. The music playing in the background is a 60's instrumental (I think). It's mostly a slowly strummed electric guitar. I need to know the name of the song and who it's by. Thanks.

I FOUND IT! I know I only posted this a few hours ago, but it's been driving me nuts for days. I actually found the "rebuttal" song before I found the original, but I found it.

Eamon - Fuck It
Frankee - FURB is the rebuttal version.

Now to overplay it till it's outta my head...

Looking for a classical piece...
They play it on the Simpsons a lot, very frenetic, part xylophone perhaps? One instance is from the episode where grandpa is babysitting them and bart is holding onto the ceiling fan by grandpa's dentures and spinning around and around. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Anyone know what it is?
Help!

Was it a Telecaster with a tremolo or rotating speaker effect? It could be "Rumble" by Link Wray and His Ray Men.

Yep. That's it. Thanks a ton.

What is that opera sounding music in the spiderman 2 trailer?

I have heard this song a few times on the classic rock station, but can't track down the name or who its by. Here are some lyrics:

"Amy, whatcha want to do?
I think, I could stay with you
for a while, maybe longer..."

and ends with the guy singing:

"falling in and out of love with you..."

Any help would be appreciated; I really like the song.

"Amy" by Pure Prairie League

I've also seen some copies on WinMX labelled as "Falling In and Out of Love".

Awesome, thanks for the help Sinistermotives!

HELP! what is this song?!
 

http://www.ebaumsworld.com/dubdub.html

anyone know the artist or name?!

There is a sticky thread called "The Master 'what is this song' list". Post your question there.

oops my bad der

http://www.ebaumsworld.com/dubdub.html

anyone know the artist or name?!

Scooter - "Maria (I Like It Loud)"

There's a rather recent rock song that I can't figure out.
Somewhere in the middle are distinct lyrics which say "No lights. No music"
And that's all I can remember. Sounds like System of a Down but I have no idea.

There is in fact a System of a Down song called "Sugar" that contains that line.

http://www.lyricsfreak.com/s/system-...wn/134820.html

Thank you much! Now just to find what cd it's on.

OK, there's this song I kept hearing while I was in France last week. It actually is a pretty awful song but I can't get it out of my head. Basically it's some white guy rapping over a sample of some old French song. I know that may not be very much info, but that's all I got.
If anyone has any idea what this is I will owe you my sanity.

AsianJesus, see if this page gets you anywhere:

Here's the ad - anyone know the music?

Apparantly, it is an original made for the ad. More information here:

I found that link from the following forum:
Adtunes.com Forums -> Nike Commercial

Something that i have found useful when trying to figure out a song i heard is the site leos lyrics www.leoslyrics.com. If you know any words that are in the song you can do a search by lyric, either as a complete phrase or scattered words. So for example, if you heard roadhouse blues (by the doors) on the radio and did not know the name of the song or who it was by, youd type in the lyric you heard (keep your eyes on the road) and it would give you a list of all the songs that contain that lyric. The site has definitely been extremely useful for me.

By God, I shall post again. I cannot find the song Paul Oakenfold - See It anywhere. Anybody know of any places to even start?

Is the song called "Paul Oakenfold", or is that who performed it? Where did you hear the song?

Paul Oakenfold is the arist plus the only song I really have listened to of his was with Crazytown frontman Shifty that song was called "Starry Eyed Surprise"

I am looking for a song with the lyrics "What i really meant to say is that I am sorry for the way that I am" I heard it recently on the radio and it is a man singing. I was wondering if anyone knew what it was? Kinda sounds liek nickleback...

The song is Crossfae by the band Cold

Thank you very much! I am forever in your debt...

nm i found it

the newest GBA commercial, the one with the guys standing there, red background color, etc. Anyone know the song?

I'm guessing that GBA = Game Boy Advance? If so, according to Adtunes.com,
I hope you are asking about the Yaz song; it kicks ass. The entire album (Upstairs at Eric's) is worth hearing.

I'd appreciate some help finding the artist and name of the following song.

It's rock (slower paced), and includes the lyrics:

"Can't be held responsible," "We were merely/only freshman," and ".. love in the first place."

It's a pretty well-known song, and is sung by a male lead singer. I just can't think of the name right now.

Thanks!

The Verve Pipe, "Freshmen"

Very nice, thanks much!

It is a song in a Volkswagen commerical. The vehicle is a Volkswagen Touareg, which is an SUV. I don't recall any lyrics, but it sort of sounds like a country song. I think the commercial is new.

Any help identifying this song is appreciated.

Using my standard source (the Adtunes.com forums),

Title: Ariel Ramirez
Artist: Richard Buckner
Album: Since

Catch a sample (track 3) on the Amazon page: Amazon.com: Music: Since

here's a tough one....I think the song is from the 70's (i've heard it played in that 70's show)....the only place I can describe it.......is that it is in Charlie's Angels 1 (the movie with drew barrymore etc..)...and after the point where she sleeps with sam rockwell.....and he is telling her that he is actually a bad guy, and shoots her and she falls through the glass etc... the song is playing in the background....anyone know it?

Thats it, thanks a lot! I checked out your source, seems solid, I'll check there first next time.

I'm trying to remember a single by Agnetha Faltskog of ABBA that was on the American pop charts around 1983 or so. It was released after Frida's "I Know There's Something Going On."

EDIT: Apparently it wasn't on the charts. It got quite a bit of airplay on a station I listened to though.

OK, here's one: The song in the Lance Armstrong commercials Im sure you've probably seen:
