openLate 80s / early 90s electronic/trance music Music
This is going to be a bit tricky and maybe won't yeld results at all but nothing helps me unless I'll give it a try.
Back in late 80s and early 90s electronic and trance music was becoming quite popular. Unfortunately I was a toddler back then so I only vaguely remember how it sounded. I'll try to describe it here.
It sounded kind of "electric" or "robotic". I'd compare it to distorted hum of voltage transformers.
Now it's a funny thing that it was the vocals that sounded electric. Multiple female voices singing in unison but with slight tone discrepancy. That made it really sound like robots.
I also vaguely remember a song that mostly contained of a sole female voice singing "oooooh" accompanied of monotonous hum.
It's really not much of a description but if it may serve as a slight hint I guess the interpret was something between the likes of 2Unlimited, Ace of Base and Capella.
Here goes nothing.
openLooking for a song (NaruHinaFan) Music
I am looking for a song that has binary code in it, I forgot its name. I believe it is rock but I am not sure.
openMusic from GT Countdown episode on breakthrough PC games Music
This
episode mostly uses music from discussed games as background, but some tracks seem to be from other uncredited sources. I'm most interested in the sources of music used in segments about #5 SimCity, #4 Civilization and #3 Ultima Online.
openLooking for song. Music
What I can remember about the song is that it has "Gravity" as the second word, and it has no lyrics. It is an electronic song I believe. I remember the middle part being like a distorted version of the beginning, with these cool sounding jumps here and there.
openNaruto Ending Song Music
I have been trying to remember a naruto ending song where it's drawn in blue lineart with white background, contrasting the usual color mv, and more cartoony. It shows young naruto spending his time in his home under the rain with playing console and eating ramen before suddenly run out the door and run across the village. Sadly i don't remember any of the lyrics.

Does anyone know the name of the background music in this video? Edit mevermind I found it. It’s called Seemingly Simple.
Edited by Gamergirl101openA jazzy little piece from the 90s Music

Dying to find the name of the song.
openIDM/electronic song, distorted version of an ABBA video for a music video (solved) Music
I don't remember much about the actual song other than being an instrumental in the kinda dark, ambient flavor of electronic music- I think it reminded me of Boards of Canada but wasn't actually them. The video apparently stuck with me more, because it was all freakishly distorted footage from Abba's "Take a Chance on Me". While that sounds like a weird fan video, this apparently was in fact the real official video.
Edited by MikeKopenCatchy Anime Music Montage Music
It was a song, synced with multiple scenes taken from many animes, I remember that it started with a girl saying 'Kono' then multiple slaps. Eventually it was synced with swords clashing
Basically it is similar to this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGOBLZNBiVM
but with a different song.

resolved Nu metal song that uses nursery rhymes in the lyrics Music
I remember my dad playing this nu metal song when I was little. It was a Korn-esque song that uses dark nursery rhymes like Ring Around the Rosie in its lyrics, interspersed with some screaming lyrics I can't remember. Does anybody know what I'm talking about?
openObscure 90s song Music
Been trying to figure this out for a few years, albeit to no avail.
The last time I heard this song was on the radio almost a decade ago. I assume that it's from the nineties, and the only notable thing I remember about the song is that its intro had female vocalizing in it in an almost similar fashion and key to "Lemon Tree" a song from the same time period (again, I assume this song might be from the 90s because I think it was playing on a radio station for old songs). Those seem to be the only details I remember from it, besides the fact that it might be from an obscure musical artist/band; hence the title of this prompt.
openSun Machine Is a Lie, There Is No Party Music
I remember coming across a song - I actually don't remember liking it much, but finding it odd enough to be noteworthy nonetheless, being a spoof of a slightly obscure Bowie deep track - where the chorus went something like "the sun machine is a lie, there is no f-ing party." I don't think it was by anyone especially big, and frankly, I have a sneaking suspicion it might've been someone... I might not want to be seen as a fan of... both of which might explain why I don't remember. I think it was some sort of extreme metal.
openThis one song Music
This is a song that I think is from the 90s. It's in a minor key, and the refrain goes something like "And Iiiiiiiiiiiiii'm falling in love... Yes, Iiiiiiiiiiiiiii'm falling in love... with you..."
openSpanish theme, standard snippet Music
Trying to find music for Standard Snippet from this episode
of Police, Camera, Action!, appears from 0:42 to 0:57.
It's Spanish, but that's all I know.
But what's that music before I add it to that page?
resolved Classical(?) piece in a meme video, sounds like "Dance of the Knights" Music
What is the name of the music in this meme video
? I'm pretty sure it's a classical piece. It sounds a bit like a C Minor version of Prokofiev's "Dance of the Knights," but the melody is clearly different.
resolved Fan song for Maximum Ride? Music
There's this fan song for the Maximum Ride series that my sibling and I loved when we were kids, but don't remember the name of or where it was posted. I don't know all the lyrics, but I do remember the chorus:
Nevermore, I will fight to the end/ If you want something you don't pretend/ Not a piece of your game, not part of your lie/ Don't tell me you don't know I'm Maximum Ride
There was also a pre-chorus part that went:
Trust you nobody trusts you/ My game you'll never win it/ Let me guess, he's the first to die?/ Well just 'cause you can read minds/ Doesn't mean it's true, doesn't mean I care/ You know he's mine
I've tried asking some people in the MR fandom itself, but nobody seems to know of this song. If anyone here has any idea what I'm talking about, I would be so incredibly grateful for the name of the song/a link to it - it's been driving me crazy for almost two years now.

I remember hearing a song about 20 years ago, possibly on the radio. I didn't hear the song again for a long time, until about 2 to 3 years ago when I heard Stephen A. Smith sing a brief rendition of the song on his radio show. In his rendition, the second line (or second half of the first line?) contained the words "there's a magic story" or "it's a magic story" or something similar. It's hard to describe the melody over the Internet, but I'm pretty sure the first line (or first half of the first line?) contained 5 notes.
Sadly, when I try to search for "there's a magic story" or even simply "a magic story" on DuckDuckGo, it doesn't turn up any good results. I wonder if Stephen A. Smith changed the lyrics.
Does anybody know what song I'm talking about?
