resolved Some gibberish electronic song with a music video with penguins Music
I remember often hearing this gibberish song on Sirius XM radio (usually on Kids Place Live) with a hook that "dawimbimdumbamdumbadumbadum". When I looked it up it had an animated music video with penguins conducting some sort of invasion of London or another English city. Some scenes in the video had them using telephones and others had them in a living room.
Anybody know which song I am talking about?

openC'mon Song SOLVED Music
I remember this song in my head, and I remember these lyrics only. A guy says C'mon, and then what sounds like a few more say it high pitched. it went from E, to A, B. That's all I remember. The song isn’t named C’mon. It was the bridge.
It's sounds like it would be pretty popular, any help?
Edited by DookieIdiotNimrodopenJapanese Song - Wake Up Wake Up Music
I am looking for a cheerful upbeat Japanese song that contained the English lyrics, "Wake up, wake up," That could be anything, but anything helps It probably isn't the first result you think of And it's not a theme song I also think I heard words that sounded like holiday and Nu Nu a lot. I couldn't make out what instruments are playing, it might be electronic and have a guitar
openSonic x Cosmo and Knuckles amv Music
I'm looking for a fan-made video from the anime Sonic X. It was about Cosmo and Knuckles and the music was "Best Friend" from toybox. I remember parts of the video, because it was one of those videos with lots of soundless clips and images appear, I bet I don't even have to explain this actually, but better safe than sorry. I can't however find the video in my web history or in my You Tube account (now's a good time to mention I viewed this video in You Tube)) or anything else. I suppose whoever uploaded the video removed it sometimes ago, or his/her whole account. And if that's the case, my only hope is that someone has it saved/downloaded. If anyone here doesn't have it but could instead direct me to some kind of Sonic X fan forum, that would be very much appreciated. I know this is a longshot so I'm really not too hopeful, but worth a try. Thanks to everyone who took their time to read this.
resolved Song with chorus "Steel on Steel, dust to dust. There's an iron horse in all of us" Music
I know this song exists, but even googling the chorus or parts of it in quotes turns up nothing. I also remember a long time ago looking for it and finding a few results, one of which was the song, however I don't remember the band and suspect it's really obscure. Anyway I first heard in the 90s if that helps, and it had a female singer. Here is me singing the chorus: https://vocaroo.com/norImWkPYvS
(I remember nothing else.)
openKickball Sally song? Music
Not a children's song per se. Might be about a different sport. Could be a parody of a song I don't know. Uptempo. Chorus goes something like:
EDIT Nevermind, realized it was "Stickball Sally" and according to the internet it's from The Great Space Coaster.
Edited by randomsurferopenName of stock 'Hawaii' music.(Solved) Music
The paradise island equivalent of 'Entry Of The Gladiators' for circuses.
Goes like -
La la la laa La la la laa La lala la lala Lala la lala laaa
Edited by WilliamPurryopenArtist with long, descriptive track titles Music
On one of my TLP drafts
, someone mentioned vaguely remembering an artist who named some of their songs things like "that difficult middle of Side Two when you start running out of ideas". Anybody know who this might be?
openPolice lineup album cover Music
I remember an album cover with four cartoon characters in a police lineup. If memory serves, the characters (or at least some of them) were drawn in style somewhat reminiscent of the Gorillaz. Two of them were a visibly nervous black sheep and a goth girl.
I think the album's genre was christian rock, or maybe the band members were just said to be quite religious, I might have misremembered that.
openSong from ''Curfew'' Music
What was that song that was playing at the start of the seventh episode of Curfew? I remember that it sounded a lot like the Pet Shop Boys, but I couldn't find any songs of theirs with the correct lyrics. The only lyrics I remember sounded like "I fade to grey".
openGuy eating nails music video Music
So theres a music video of people covered in dust, in something that looks like a hospital room, i remember a scene of a dude eating a jar of iron nails and then they sprout from his body. Also a bald girl kissing a machine
- It was live action but with some stop motion scenes, i guess
- Im pretty sure it's a TOOL video, but i just cant find it
openShould be obvious Music
In howtobasic face reveal what's the song that starts right here. I know it's very famous, but for the life of me right now I don't know it's name:
openCarl Orff-inspired bombastic song from Barbarian movie commercials-UPDATE: Solved! Music
There is a song I keep encountering that has a very Carl Orff inspired composition resembling "O Fortuna." I used to hear it back in the '90s all the time whenever a channel like TBS was going to show barbarian movies like "Beastmaster" or "Conan the Barbarian."
The song is featured in this scene of the 1993 Mark Hamill film "Time Runner." (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugKeGfV0xnM)
I don't have a copy of this film and there doesn't seem to be any soundtrack information online.
It was also recently featured in "Archer" season 8 (the Dreamland season) episode 7 "Gramercy, Halberd!" during the car chase scene. I got so excited when it appeared and went to the net to see if the song was identified, but every "name that tune" type site cites the song as "O Fortuna" and it's NOT.
Can anyone please name this tune?
Edited by DarkwingDorkopenSong with recurring "There was no U.N" Music
I don't remember much about the song itself other than it being highly critical of the United Nations, I think its genre may have been metal of some kind. but a couple of lines talk about various international tragedies that had little to no official response by the U.N, and each of them followed by a "There was no U.N"
openPop Cover Of Music
I am looking for a female pop cover of Everything She Does Is Magic but by a New Zealand female group and with the lyrics changed so it's 'everything he does is magic' and not everything she does'.
openFrench Pop Song With Infidelity and Pregnancy Music
I am looking for a French pop music video. The singer, wondering why her lover isn't always available, goes to his house. She discovers that he has a wife. Then the singer opens her coat and reveals she's pregnant. Does anyone know the title?
openFlute and Synthesizer Instrumental Music
Back in '02 or '03 I downloaded a mislabelled song from Kazaa and burned it onto a C.D. It's a beautiful instrumental with synthesizers and (emulated?) flute. No one has recognized it yet. Audiotag couldn't help me, and I cant get Soundhound to work. You can listen to it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqeWLEpgYlc

I heard this song while I was at lunch today. At first, I thought it was The Plimsouls' "A Million Miles Away", but it was just something that sounded similar. The only full line I can remember was "Can you read my mind?" at the start and end of the chorus.
I'm pretty sure it would fit into the Jangle Pop or Power Pop genre.
