openMusic during IMDB Supercut (Jude Law) Music
Can anyone identify the music that plays during the IMDB Supercut of Jude Law (https://www.imdb.com/video/vi3910713625/?ref_=nmvi_vi_imdb_17)?
openmale artist in movie backlot? Music
I'm trying to remember a pop/dance music video - Male singer - Could be a band, but only one artist is featured in the actual video - He's dancing and interacting with movie props and equipments in a movie backlot - E.g. artificial rain, camera cranes etc. - The actual decor seems to be mostly a western movie of some sort - Actors in costume and movie technicians are constantly moving in and out of the picture - This is NOT the Universal Studios Hollywood backlot (i.e. not Why don't you get a job)
openAlmost-Eurovision singer Music
Can't remember how many contests ago or which country — there was an artist who was supposed to go to Eurovision but got replaced by the powers that be with someone more generic before the competition. I remember people sharing his music around to give him more visibility but that's it. He was a twink if that helps
openYoink - Untitled Song Music
i was looking for a Splatoon song remix when i found a Bandcamp user named "Yoink" who pretty much just posts pitched-down Splatoon music, except there's one song off of "shining future" that isn't from splatoon, and i can't for the life of me recognize it. the weird thing is, it doesn't have a name. it's just called "[untitled song]" on the track listing.
the song is here for anyone who's curious.
Edited by Tons-of-Ducksopenmusic video by a synth and drum duo where they're playing outside at night Music
This is another one I saw at a dance night where they project music videos on the wall, but the videos aren't actually to the songs that are playing, so I have no idea what the music actually sounds like. Only two musicians are ever shown on screen, one playing a full drum kit, the other playing a keyboard, and I'm not sure who's singing (I don't really remember anyone lip-syncing - maybe the song is instrumental?). The video is set outdoors in some kind of wooded area, and periodically there's arty closeups of bugs and possums and the like. If it helps any, I remember the drummer having long, blondish hair and playing pretty aggressively.
openvocaloid song similar to self inflicted achromatic Music
i remember a long time ago i listened to a vocaloid song similar to self inflicted achromatic. the video that had the song had bits of footage of real life in a neighborhood, if i'm correct. i think it was also sung by miku. the video also had whiteboard drawings, much like self inflicted achromatic. does anyone know what the song might be?
Edited by icecycleopenStrange Radio Song I Heard Music
During a road trip in 2023, I tuned in to All India Radio and came across a segment on 'Western Music'. There was a song playing that had a refrain that went something like "You don't play at night". Although I don't remember all the lyrics, I recall that the second half of the song had a pseudo-rap form and incorporated some disco(?) music.
open''Sounds Like a Melody'' techno cover. Music
In early 90's there was a techno cover version of Alphaville's song Sounds Like a Melody. Any idea on who performed it?
openMarijuana-themed hair metal song Music
There was a song I used to hear growing up, part of a Cheech & Chong CD my dad burned once. It was a song in the style of hair metal or arena rock, sort of like AC/DC with some Van Halen influence.
I think it might be called "Chong Mong," as that's the phrase used in the refrain, but the vocals were kind of indistinct.
Other things I remember: the song opened up with the singer saying "and we didn't have us a bong, so I made me the Chong Mong!" and the verses opened up with "It was a shivery/Saturday night, we woke up behind the Chong Mong."
I thought it'd be Cheech and Chong-related, especially as Cheech Marin totally would have had the range to mimic a screechy hair metal singer (and one of the other songs my Dad burned to the CD was a parody of "Macarena" that Cheech sang), but searching has turned up nothing so far, so I think it might be unrelated to Cheech & Chong (besides the drug themes, of course).
resolved public domain piano song about a cat? Music
This is kind of a weird one, but I remember when I was a kid I took piano lesson's briefly. One of the songs had to do with a cat, and was kind of cute/funny, although I can't remember any actual lyrics, or I'd have looked them up.I assume it was public domain if the piano school was teaching it, but could be wrong. Also, I think it sounded kinda similar to "Lady Marmalade", as there is a scene in Beethoven (which I watched like a year before) where the babysitter sings that song, and for a while I misremembered her as singing the cat song I'm looking for instead.
Edited by Bootlebatresolved Iconic guitar song Music
There is this song I'm thinking off that I don't know the name off.
From experience I know the song/music is a classic and at least a decade old by now. It opens with an iconic guitar riff that continues throughout the song, being mostly instrumental but featuring a male voice, and it is in the minor key. If I could describe the mood, I'd say it sounds like an epic brawl of some sort is about to ensue.
This is about the best I can say about it, so I hope someone will recognize it.
Edit: I just remembered it is used in this video at around 2:12.

Not the intro song, but the one that comes immediately after it
openPop-rock song: Whatcha gonna do about those blues? Music
Lively pop-rock song in English, up-tempo, heavily piano based, C major, probably from the 1970s or 1980s, likely moderately well-known or at least by a well-known artist. Chorus, with two syllables missing because I'm not sure what they are: "Whatcha gonna do about those _____ _____ blues?"
I tried 'Old Man Blues', 'Brand New Blues', and 'All Day Blues', but none of those seemed to match. Attempted a bunch of Google searches and found nothing. Any ideas? Thanks!
resolved Song that says "As the day fades away" Music
There was this song I first heard on the radio in 1997. I would call it smooth jazz, or maybe soft rock. It had a female singer singing "As The Day Fades Away", which I'm pretty sure was the only lyrics in the song (at least I don't remember any others.)
resolved Anime Music Video About Girl And Robot Music
So, there was this music video I saw in around 2009 that was playing on some rhythm game installed at a Chuck E. Cheese.
It was animated in an anime style and follows this girl, who was running through a forest before she suddenly slips and winds up tumbling into this abandoned building. The building isn’t in the best condition with wires dangling everywhere, and she ends up meeting this little spherical robot (closest image I can think of is One-One from Infinity Train but with a different color palette).
A bunch of bigger and more intimidating looking robots end up activating and chase after the girl and the little robot while shooting lasers at them. The little robot ends up forcing the girl into an escape pod while leaving itself behind. It ends with the girl crying as the building explodes while the escape pod flies away.
Haven’t seen it since and it’s been driving me crazy.

Hello, i'm here because i've got a melody stuck in me head but i can't find out the title of the song. All i can remember is that it was about being a night owl and the singer in the videoclip was a white guy wearing Mc Hammer style gold parachute pants. I know its slim but i also know internet can do miracles, so thank you if my very lackluster description somehow ring a bell to you. Have a nice night
