If you're having trouble figuring out the name of a song, who sang it, what year, etc., maybe I or other good folks on badmovies.org can help you. If you need to know the name, hopefully you can provide some lyrics. Or for some of us who can read music you can type up some notes. Or maybe if you know the type of music, around the year you think it came out, etc. that may help us as well.
well that would be good, except i don't know anything bout the song :bluesad:

That's going to make it extremely tough... but your song might be "New Born" by Muse.

Maybe it's
"Yesterday," by
THE BEATLES... :lookingup: :bouncegiggle: :bluesad:
There are at least 2 or 3 pieces of music that I have in my head, that I may even have some scrap of information about, such as where I heard it, but I haven't yet found those. I have found things I hunted for, sometimes it took a long time.

no, it's a female singer that sounds like Sheryl Crow
Alanis Morissette?
Ok heres one...
I saw Kid Rock (I don't really like the guy to be honest) and he did this song where in the middle of it he pumped one hand and the ladies in the crowd go "kiiiiid" and then he pumped the other hand and had the guys go "rock rock". Does anyone know what song he does this in or better yet if a video exists of it in concert. All my searches has turned up nill.
I think the idea behind this thread is brilliant - if anyone can track down a song from a fragment of any kind, it will be you bunch. The assembled musical knowledge here is encyclopedic! :cheers:
Question: is there a possibility of attaching sound files? So a person could 'hum' or whistle the bit they know and you guys could hear it? My tech ignorance is showing, I know, but it was a thought: "could you hum a few bars for me?" - that sort of thing.

I'm assuming that'd be one of the live versions of "
Bawitdaba"

Thanks for the props Newt!
If there's a way to include sound files, I don't know it either.. sorry.

Not here, really, but you could find some third party site to upload it to and then link it here.
I wish I could him a few lines of this song in my head right now for someone. Its a very popular light rock favorite that I'll be damned if I can remember a lyric to.

Year? Male/female? What kind of instruments are most prevalent in the song?
This makes me think of an episode of Married With Children where Al is trying to remember the name of a song, and all he could come up with was "hmm hmm him..." (it was Anna {Go To Him}) He'd irritate everyone he tried to get to help him. There was even a record store where customers would ask the cashier what the song they were thinking of was and would hum or sing a few words and he'd instantly get it. But he couldn't figure out Al's song. :smile:
QuoteYear? Male/female? What kind of instruments are most prevalent in the song?
Well the song I'm thinking of frequents light rock stations and 80s mix stations. Kind of Ambrosia-ish but with a country western twist. Its a bit slow paced and the singer reminds me of Ronnie Milsap in a way. I've perused popular Milsap songs but nothing really matches. I think the chorus ends with the word "sometimes" but I could be way off there. Instrument wise I think its either a guitar or a synthesizer that goes "doo-doo-doo-doooooooo" after each verse.
It's not Alabama, is it?
Marshall Tucker Band?
I don't think it was Alabama or Mashall Tucker. These guys kind of sound borderline country but more like a light rock band.
Man.. I wish I could help.. I know what it feels like to be stuck on a song that I don't know the artist/title of. Whatever you're thinking of there's a good chance I have it, especially if it's a one-hit wonder type of song.
America?
Well after much trials and tribulation I figured it out...

I couldn't for the life of me think of Dan Fogleberg's name but my boss shouted it out today. Thanks for the effort guys though!
Dan Fogelberg's voice makes you think of Ronnie Milsap?? :question: :bouncegiggle:

Like I said, I just kind of hummed along with it while the volume was on low. :tongueout:

Well, he is pretty sappy. :teddyr:
Wow, I have an extremely vague memory of that song on hearing it, but I doubt I've heard it since it was new, and I'm not entirely sure the sense of familiarity isn't due to it sounding like other Dan Fogelberg songs. I have to say he is one light rock artist of the 70s I have not encountered since then.
Hmm.. I've heard this tune on a number of other commercials; it's an instrumental. I actually have a video of the piece playing. This is a commercial for "ReaLemon".

Anyone know what it's called?
Ok, this should be an easy one.
It's that song where the chorus is "My heaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaart will always fall in love, with you." (Something like that.)
The video is black and white of two people rolling around on the beach, making out.

Late 80s, maybe 90 or 91.

Is it "Wicked Game" by Chris Issak?
That would be the one! Thanks. It came on the radio at work and I couldn't remember who did it. Was driving me nuts.
I've been trying to find this for years; no luck on Google.
"Little Jimmy Jones was a funky little cat
He played drums in a three-piece band
They had a swingin' little group, a travelin' troup
And they went all over the land
They traveled from Denver to Montreal
They played the tunes that the people wanna hear
They had a funky little bus, just room for us
And two or three cases of beer"
I'm pretty sure the song is called "Litle Jimmy Jones; I'm trying to find the rest of the song, and who did it.

I recorded a weird song about Jughead Jones in the 90s on a college radio station. It had an omnious quality about it but I haven't been able to find it anywhere since or who sung it???
