In a recent episode of Care Bears: Welcome to Care-a-Lot, as Harmony Bear performs a heartfelt song, Grumpy Bear pulls out a couple of candles, which he and a human girl named Joy start waving. I feel like this is something I have seen in a music video or something of the sort somewhere before, but where? Or might it just be a general reference to "Candle in the Wind"? (NB: The episode, "Sad About You" is currently available on The Hub's website for viewing.)

Can anyone identify the music playing this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0uNezrojCw
Someone asked the question in a comment about a year back, but it looks like nobody ever responded.

I've heard the same piece of music in two completely unrelated videos:
- A Hub commercial
for My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
- A creativebrief video
about Nokia's chatterboxing with The Annoying Orange

This one song I heard a long time ago. A bit slow and jazzy and the lyrics are something like "Oh yeah, we must never ever touch". Phil Collins may have done the song, I remember my mom or someone making a comment about Phil Collins when it came on the radio. Google isn't helping.

This one is really random, and probably really hard.
When I was a kid (between ages 4 and 8, 1995-99) I would go to a Vacation Bible School at one of the local churches. I was hoping someone might have heard the some of the songs.
1. A song about Moses. Chorus went "Moses, Moses, grab your staff/Moses, Moses, hold it high/ something something/where the land is dry.
2. A song about Jonah. "Turn back, Jonah, turn around./You're going the wrong way now."
3. A song about the three boys in the furnace. "Shadrach, Meshach, Abednago/three faithful boys who wanted to know/the love of the Lord. It was NOT by Louis Armstrong.
The songs were also sold on white casseste tapes, and we bought one of the years. One of the songs from the year we bought (I'm looking for the year before that one) went "Love is pateint, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast. It is not proud, it is not rude, it is not self seeking. Love is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs, love does not delight in evil - but rejoices in the truth." Repeat, then "It always protects *clap clap* always trusts *clap clap* always hopes *clap clap* always perserveres *do the wave*.
Like I said, hard. It's also very vague, and I haven't yet been able to find it. Can anyone help me?

There's this song that keeps playing at work. Some of the lyrics are:
Before we knew the tree
Before we lost it all
It was all (some word I can't understand whenever the song plays)
And the word that comes after the last "all" I have no idea what it is. It's two syllables and I'm pretty sure it starts with E, and it could be "Eden" or "easy". It's really hard to tell. Usually I just write down the lyrics and google them, but I tried that and I'm not getting any of the right hits. I might be doing something wrong.

Mid-to-late 1980s hiphop song. The only line I can remember is "Take it from the top" or possibly "take it to the top". Male voice. American accent, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. There was a brass section in it with a more big band or swing sound.
It's possible that it was also from the early 90s. I remember hearing it in college and a little after — 1992 -1997.
I heard it on the college radio station and on a compilation CD of some kind of "roots of rap". I can't remember the exact name of the CD and I haven't seen or heard the CD since about 1997.

A song possibly from the 80s, but no later than mid 90s where near the end of the song or in the song's finale, there is a whole (male?) chorus singing la la-la la la or na na-na na na in a slow-ish tempo. I don't remember anything about the song itself, other than it might have been a male singer and the aforementioned na-nas. It's not Hey Jude or Centerfold.
in abc notation
it looks like this:
X:1
M:4/4
K:G
c2BGA2D2 | zc BGA2D2 | c2BGA2G2 | A2G2c2A2 |
Copy the above into here
to see in sheet music form. The tempo of the resulting midi file plays is a tad too fast for this song.
I'm sure that's how it goes, I know the first two measures are right. Although i'm not sure about the key, but I'm certain of the rhythm, and the relative changes in pitch between notes.
Edit: Sorry, it came to my attention that wiki format botched the abc format, fixed now. :)

Looking for the title of the musical piece that plays for the first three minutes in this video
. I realize it’s some sort of audio library music, wondering if anyone knew the composer, title and source album. Incidentally, I do know the piece playing for the rest of the video is “Rydeen” by Yellow Magic Orchestra (not library music).

This sounds really random, obscure, and complicated, but here it goes: In June 2006 I was at Girl Scout camp and we were at a campfire listening to a woman singing Girl Scout songs, this included the regular ones, to ones the leader had never heard of. There was this one she had never heard before that I remember really liking. It was about a girl who had a really long, weird name, I think it described her as being really weird looking maybe. Does anyone know any possibilities? Thanks.

This was a children’s record I had when I was little, probably dating from the early- mid 70s or even late 60s. I’m guessing probably Golden, Wonderland or one of those other labels of children’s records released it.
It was one of those Mother Goose-type records with lots of nursery rhymes and nursery rhyme songs. The framing device had to do with the Old Woman in the Shoe putting all her many children to bed. They each had to sing or recite a nursery rhyme before they went to bed.
The one bit I remember absolutely clearly: one of her sons speaks with his mouth full of food and it sounds funny, then he recites “Simple Simon.”

I've got two, though one is pretty much a lost cause.
1. This played on a country station, maybe 10 years ago. It was sung by a male, and it was about finding a buffalo nickel, and realizing it only had three legs. I think I only heard it once, and I've been trying to figure out what it was since then, so I don't have much hope.
2. This, I have no idea how old it is, and can't even remember if it was sung by a man or a woman. The lyrics that I can remember (probably incorrectly) are: "I won't give up blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank I let you down" This is the chorus, I'm fairly certain. For the life of me, I can't remember the lines in the middle. I was reminded of this by Red's Feed the Machine. The line "We fall in line" has a similar tune to "I won't give up" (or whatever that first line is).

A song I heard on an alternative rock station in 2005 or 2006. Female singer and the style was similar to the Go-Go's. Very catchy and up-tempo. The lyrics in the chorus was like "Find a way before it gets too late". Googled lyrics, no luck. I live in the San Diego area and heard the song on FM 9.49 if that's any help.

In the movie Pete Smalls is Dead, there is a recurring musical motif that is heard playing from a snow globe music box thingy. I'm asking if anyone knows what the song is called and who wrote it, because I know I've heard it before, and I'm pretty sure it's a classical piece.
