open2010-ish song with rockabilly blonde singer fighting men in animal masks in music video Music
The song was placed in a diner where the singer was cooking hamburgers. While cooking, men in animal masks and suits come in and attack her. She hits one with a frying pan, and escapes. In her music videos, these guys in masks were always in them. The singer was blonde, mid 20s (i assume) and pretty curvy. She had curly blonde hair, wore red lipstick and had a pseudo- rockabilly/1950s look. She wore leather jackets and polka dots a lot. The genre was pop/rock-ish, but wasn't mainstream because I only heard of her a couple times. I can only remember one line of lyrics: "A pretty patty, a pretty patty woah". I think it was released in 2010-2012 but no later than that. I've been looking for this since 2013, so any help would be nice.
openOld Science Fiction About night vision Live Action TV
I remember watching a show years ago on hulu that was tagged as similar to The Invisible Man TV series, the show was about a synthetic chemical which was based on a chemical that occurs naturally in animals allowing their eyes to catch more light in the dark there was a man that the government used the serum on and it gave him night vision but for the life of me i cant remember the name of this show and i would really love to see it again
openMovie about a policeman and a female masochist trying to catch a murderer Film
My mother has told me about this movie, but didn't remember it's title or anything beyond the plot: a policeman is trying to catch a sadist murderer. He gets help from a woman with masochistic tendencies. He sees a bunch of BDSM themed paintings in her house and understands that she's the right person to help him. I looked everywhere and couldn't find any film like this one. It's possible that it was made for TV, like Lifetime.
openOld cartoon Western Animation
I vaguely remeber this cartoon about the girl (she could be princess). She had dark hair and was good with the sword. She was in love with this guy and the power of their love had something to do with this heart-shaped artifact that all the villains wanted to get. There was a red dragon involved but i dont remember the details. I also remember some clumsy comic-relief characters that were flying in this ballon or flying-machin.
openCard match game Videogame
My mom is looking for a game she and my aunt used to be obsessed with. I played over their shoulder a lot. This would be in the 2000-2004 range, maybe a little earlier, on one of those websites like pogo.com or Big Fish Games (those are the two I checked because they're the two I remember them using, but I couldn't find this, unless it's gone).
I think it was a "find the connection"-type thing, where you would be given a layout of "cards" with words on them and have to click the ones that had something in common, or maybe they showed you the grouping and you had to name the connection. There were different levels (maybe five in all). In one the cards were stacked in a pyramid of six, and the words just flashed on them briefly and you had to remember where they were. It was timed. I want to say that the logo of either the site or the particular game was a stylized head in profile, possibly with a question mark involved, and if you ran out of time/gave the wrong answer it would react in some way, like changing to an "oh no! Disaster!" expression.
openWebsite about ape intelligence! Web Original
I realize this is not fiction, and this is probably not the right place to ask for help but after looking for literally months I am desperate enough to try anyway :B I apologize in advance. So, it's a website about great ape intelligence, basically. It has a huge database with many accounts of what apes (chimps, gorillas, orangutans and bonobos) have said using sign language, as well as tool use, complex behavior etc etc. I seem to remember special emphasis on sign language use. I remember it didnĀ“t have a lot of pictures, if any; it was just text, lots and lots of fascinating text. I know it's not a lot to go by. Hope someone knows/remembers!
openScary Live Action TV Show Live Action TV
So I remember seeing the very end of a live action TV show sometime in the late nineties (probably around 96-97, maybe early 98), in which a teenage (I think?) girl has a nose that will not stop wiggling on its own, so she takes a pair of scissors and while staring at herself in a poorly lit bathroom mirror, cuts it off. I think the last shot of the show was a carnival at night, but for some reason that girl cutting her nose off stuck with me. Does anyone know what this could be?
openWeird scene from kids cartoon with nesting bird and chef Western Animation
Ok, this is a weird question but it's something that's driving me nuts. It's a scene from a cartoon I saw long ago, but can't remember the cartoon and my friends think I dreamt it because it's so weird.
There's a bird, not sure what kind but I think a duck or maybe seagull or dove. I think it was white or light color. And it has long eyelashes that it flutters, so a girl bird. I think a mother bird. And the bird at one point is sitting on her nest asleep, and some male character comes (I thought maybe Elmer Fudd? It was probably a Looney Tunes show). And the guy for some reason starts plucking out the bird's tail feathers, but the bird is asleep and doesn't know. And pretty soon the bird's tail is gone and her behind is bare. And then it gets really weird, where the guy (Elmer Fudd?) starts to "prepare" the bird's bare behind! Like maybe trying to season it or salt it as if to eat it? Maybe the guy is a chef, but it was still creepy. And finally the guy spanks the bird's bum, and the bird finally wakes up and she totally freaks out on the guy.
I know this is a weird scene but I'm sure I didn't imagine it. I can even remember the animation movement and some sound and music, but not enough. I remember it was supposed to be a funny scene, but it bothered me as a kid. I can't for the life of me remember what it's from. I might not be remembering it totally right, but it's definitely something like this. And it's from a kid cartoon, believe it or not. Anyone know it?
openShort Clip (about Asexuality?) Live Action TV
I remember seeing this short clip on Tumblr under #asexual (or something like that) of a man and a woman in bed together. The comforter/sheets are off the bed and the man is shirtless. I think they were kissing or the man was undressing the woman or something. The woman stops and says "I don't like sex." The man replies, "Okay," puts his shirt back on, and pulls the sheet/comforter over the both of them so they can fall asleep. Any idea what this is from? I can't seem to find it again. The man was brunette and I think the woman was blonde, if that helps.
Edited by DaggerQuillopenCan't remember the name
There was a show where this guy lived with monsters he and a few others could see only and he went to catch other monsters and put them into jars.
openBeetleborgs Episode? Live Action TV
On Wikipedia, it says that Noxic has a dream about controlling a bulldozer. Which episode is this?
openManga Series that I forgot the title of. Print Comic
Hi! I'm looking for a manga series that I read a few years ago but can't remember the name of. It's about a young girl who doesn't have any friends, you know, a bit of an anti-social person. But, through circumstances, she has to socialize with people in order to find monsters/demons. One day, she makes a couple of friends after she helps them get something that fell over a bridge and she takes off her shoes to get it for them. Afterwards, they catch up to her and ask her about her favorite celebrity in a magazine. And near the end of the first or second book, she has to confront a monster of some kind in a school gym. Can someone help me with this, please?
openPlease, help me with the title of animated tv show. Western Animation
I dont remember the title of tv show. if i'm not making mistake it's 90s show about team of monster (all different, from different countries/worlds). Monsters were small. And, as i remember, there was a boy.
openComedy shorts about robots on CN
I remember watching a series of comedy shorts about giant robots on Cartoon Network comercial breaks around 2007, if not japanese then japan-influenced at least. I should note that the CN I'm talking about is the brazilian one.
openSong with a Suspiciously Similar Chorus Music
I heard this song the other day playing in Wal-Mart. It sounded kind of like soft rock/folk. The chorus sounded a lot like "I Want It That Way" by The Backstreet Boys (not like I listen to them or anything), specifically the part where they sing "ain't nothin' but a heartache." In the song, it was a whole step (two pitches) lower than "I Want It That Way," and it went something like "ain't nothin' but love(?)," and was sung by an older male singer. The tune sounded undeniably similar, though. Anyone know what it was?
openSHOW I THINK WAS ON BBC BUT MAY HAVE BEEN US/CANDIAN ORIGIN
the show was about a boy who had a moving tiger tattoo and I think he had to get it back to his owner which was a biker or something helpppp!!!!
openI don't fully remember it, but I think it was canadian, and on Nickeloden Western Animation
I don't remember much from it, but it was a cartoon about a kid, who I think it was a pervert. There was this episode where his family buy a dog, but while the dog loves the family, it hates the protagonist. The opening, I think, was kinda wacky, with all the characters dancing, or at least, a fat man who, was at first dancing with his wife (I think), but then went full disco all alone.
openBig Burger play Literature
I remember reading a short play for kids that I believe was called "Big Burger" in a book of plays and other classroom activities. The play started off with an offstage bird making sounds. There was also a character that I believe was named "Big Burger", and IIRC his name was the only thing he could say. It sounds like it may have been a critique of consumerism.
I remember about 10 years ago when I was looking for this song by the artist K90 I found some song from another band that was remixed by him and I really liked it. Problem is, I can't remember the band or song name other then I think the song name had the word "journey" in it.
