A hip-hop song that is just a sample of a long, nonsensical rant by an irate woman at a public meeting, with beats laid over that. The woman sounds African-American, probably middle-aged. She says "goddamn" every few seconds.
The guy whose iPod was playing said it was by MC 900 Ft Jesus but I didn't get the title of the song. I'm posting this query here because Google is being weirdly useless, and there's a chance he downloaded it thinking it was by this artist while it's really by someone else (as happened to me many times in my Limewire days). 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.”

Does anyone know the song in this commercial:

?
I'ts not technically what should go here, but nobody seems to know it - I'm figuring it may have been made for the commercial.

I can't find these songs anywhere. Do you know anything about them? 1. 80s song that goes "We are we are the youth of a nation". It isn't by POD, nor is it a metal song. Sounded like Tears for Fears or Depeche Mode. 2. Teen hip hop song with the line "in a bow tie, oh my gosh". 3. Baritone male version of It's Raining Men. 4. Spanish version of Dancing in the Street. It's Bailar en la Ciudad.

A rock/metal song with an intro featuring two interlocking electric guitar parts. These guitars form a riff that repeats every four beats. Tempo is about 100.
Guitar 1: Rhythm guitar. Very distorted. Plays the same note three times. Staccato. Has the rhythm of dotted eighth note, dotted eighth note, then eighth note, or ONE two three FOUR five six SEV eight. Guitar 2: Cleaner than the other guitar but still some grittiness. Plays four notes in an ascending line, a straight four eighth notes in contrast to the syncopated rhythm of the other guitar. Sounds like an answering call to the other guitar.
The style sounds like System of a Down, except I know I’ve only heard a few songs by them and have already checked the ones I’ve heard.
Sorry, I don’t remember any lyrics or melody, just the riff. I guess the riff has done its job well.

I'm looking for a specific opera song. It's pretty melodramatic, and there's a phrase throughout that's repeated. I believe it was also the title of the song. The song was in a romanesque language, probably italian or spanish. I remember something in the title translated to "hurt" or "hurting", I think.

Two songs:
1. A song used in some trailers for the movie The Social Network and possibly Limitless. It had a choir going "ahhh, eyy-eyeh, ahhh, eyy-eyeh, eyeyeyeh, eyeyeyeh, ahhh, eyy-eyeh... and so on. I'm pretty sure there was someone rapping over it too.
2. This one song which had a jazzy, organ-driven rhythm, with some guitar in it as well. I remembered hearing it a lot at the beginning of the year, and it was also used on The Weather Channel as background music for local forecasts. Any suggestions?

A song that was a hit in the last three years. Chorus goes "Love is a soooome something", "soooome something" here being a three-syllable word or phrase. Singer is female, and sounds like she is black. The tempo is really fast, around 168, and the beat is prominent

Which song by The Crystal Method opens with glass shattering? I think I heard the song in FIFA 98.

Two weeks ago I heard a country song that must be recent by a young sounding female singer, I can't remember the words or the beat, but in one of the verses she mentioned her dad not minding her new tattoo, and in the chorus it mentioned Drinking wine like Jesus did. What was this?

Confessions of a Cloud Cuckoolander:
I need to find that 80s song "Youth of a Nation", which P.O.D. later covered. The chorus was exactly the same in the P.O.D. version.

Looking for that one piece of Arabian-type music. I can't come up with an example, but I THINK it's used as a regional riff whenever filmmakers/cartoonists feel the need to underscore that, yes, this is a desert in Arabia. Carries associations (to me, at least) of camels and desert sunrise. It seems about as familiar to me as that snake-charming song (Streets of Cairo) does.

I remember listening to this song a long time ago, back when 4kids TV was in it's heyday, as in, this was around the time Yu-Gi-Oh was on, and TMNT. This song came on while I was listening to 4kids radio online (they had some good-ass music), and I fell in love with it.
I don't remember many lyrics, but I remember part of the chorus that went like "It's a jungle out there whoaa, whoaa, whoa-whoa"
I used to be almost certain that it was meant to accompany TMNT, but any searches have brought up only the Monk theme.
I realize that's not much to go on, but it's all I have, so hopefully one of you remember hearing it and know more?
