openSong about singing "Freebird" Music
Heard on Dr. Demento in the 1990s and/or early 2000s. A song about singing "Freebird." Male singer with a Guttural Growler voice. I don't think it was Michael PS Hayes. It might have been To the Tune of… something, but it wasn't To the Tune of… "Freebird." It is not any of the "Freebird" examples listed on Iconic Song Request.

So, there's this piece of creepy piano music, you can hear it right here
, but I also hear it in iceberg videos. What is it?
openChumbwamaba song made of samples Music
it had no lyrics besides a sample of old (maybe 50s) narrator saying something I can't remember. The sample I remember the most was the opening of "The Real Slim Shady". It was on Youtube.
Edited by PlmopenTriangle Song Music
So, in math class today we were talking about triangles, and our teacher mentioned that he had heard a song about triangles back when he was in school, but couldn't remember what it was. He said: 1. It was sort of like a "jingle" 2. It focused on isosceles triangles specifically.
openDance/pop/techno song from the 90's Music
Hi everybody! I'm looking for a song and all I remember are a couple of lines. Song is almost certainly from the 1990's, probably the other half, from '95 to '99. Or from first couple of years of the 2000's. Genre, I'd say it is somewhere between pop, dance and techno, but I'm not 100% on that one. The artist (it's a male voice, if I recall correctly) might be from Europe, because dance and techno were all the rage at that time. It is in English. So, all the lyrics I remember from the song go something like this: "revo revo bi*ch bi*ch, revo revo bi*ch". It might be that number of repetition of each word is 2 or 3 (2x "revo" followed by 2x "bi*ch", or 3x each word). Now, at that time, I didn't really understand nor speak English very well so I don't actually know what is the first word that is repeated. It might be "rebel", cause it makes more sense than "revo", for which I don't know the meaning. Thing is that it is pronounced rather quickly and followed with a lot of bass, so it was difficult for me to distinguish words. And the second word, well... I had a sufficient level of English to understand what was pronounced. That's all I remember for the moment.
openPopular music video from the late 90's or early 2000's Music
Description: 1. Vocal by two or more boys. It's could been rap. It seems that the word "jump" spoken by men was repeated many times in the chorus or/end in the end. Possible female vocals in the chorus. 2. Most likely the genre of this music is hip-hop. Perhaps music video with break dance elements. 3. The video can be filmed in the paints of the Bon Jovi's music video "It's My Live". 4. The song is very driving, sound like "It's My Live" and "We Wil Rock You" by Five feat. Queen. 5. Maybe there was a helicopter at the end of the video. P.S.: watched many youtube's playlists with hip-hop/rap songs - nothing.
openA song from 80's/90's Music
Hi! There's this song and all I remember is the chorus. After looking it up online, couldn't find the song. It is either from the 80's or 90's, but probably from the 80's. At least it has that 80's sound. I haven't seen the music video, I've heard this song on the radio once but it didn't give me enough time to Sound Hound it. Lyrics of the chorus go like this: "Only the lonely will know, what I (think about it - I guess, something like that goes the second part), Only the lonely will show (something something something)". That's it. All I got. It's a male voice, for sure. Oh yeah. It's not Roy Orbison's "Only the Lonely". Good luck to everybody!
openWhat song is playing in this video? Music

Soundhound turned up nothing.
openMusic from this You-tube video Music
I saw this You-tube video with scenes of Disney villains, and the music from the first half is Night on Bald Mountain, but I do not know the music at 1:14, it sounds so familiar, but I cannot identify the title. Does anyone here know it? Any help would truly be appreciated it. The video is seen here:

Thank you.
openYoutube music Music
So, I'm trying to look for an artist of a song I heard long ago, but I don't actually remember the name. I just remember that it was in russian and the youtube video was just an image of some CGI simple shapes. And I think they use it as background music for markets of things like that.
Edited by ElBuenCuateresolved Alt rock song I've heard on radio in the past Music
I'm looking for this alt rock song I've heard on radio stations in the past. I remember two of the lyrics was "Help somebody" and "Somebody like me", and it was an mostly acoustic song that kinda sounded like something Collective Soul or Stone Temple Pilots would put out. Any clue as to what song I'm talking about?
Edited by DongwaChanopenTrying to find song with "On the radio" in the lyrics Music
I've got a line from a song stuck in my head, but I can't remember it. All I can remember is that it had "on the radio" in the lyrics, it was sung by a male voice, and it's not too long ago, but not too recent either. Probably at most, no older than the past 2 decades (I'm reasonably certain it was from the 2000-10 decade, maybe the early 2010-20 decade).
openWeezer song Music
I only remember the music video for it.
It was basically about the band with a female lead singer being a total diva with the actual singer being her Beleaguered Assistant. Eventually the rest of the band kicks her out and the guy ends up taking her place, the video ends on their merch being modified to add an "R" to the bands' name to get "Weezer".
openWierd remix of "Yashar" by Cabaret Voltaire Music
I am trying to find a weird remix of the song "Yashar" by Cabaret Voltaire. It was sped up a lot, kind of techno-y, and didn't have the "The seventy billion people of Earth, where are they hiding?" sample from the original. I found it on some obscure (no longer in service) site where you could download songs, so it might have just been something they made themselves, but I'd still like to find it if possible.

It's probably not enough. Can you help me out?
[down] No, that's not it.
Edited by SpaceProtagonistopenMusical influences in "POLLYANNA: An Animated Earthbound Tribute" Music
This post may not be about some work I only have a vague memory of, but I feel it belongs here anyway.
I'm trying to name the exact musical influences of this fan-made instrumental arrangement
of the song "Home Sweet Home" from EarthBound (1994), without much success. All I know is that it's a throwback to rock n' roll from The '80s á la Daryl Hall & John Oates and The Alan Parsons Project, but I'm not sure what kind of rock it is or what other musical genre is involved. If any music buffs here can help me out, I'd be grateful.
EDIT: Holy shit, I just found out the song is from the late 80s, specifically 1989. It was composed by Catherine Warwick, who apparently also composed two more songs for the Mother series.
Edited by Unnerving_Posterioropen2000s sounding song by female artist Music
I just heard this song. It featured a female-sounding artist singing a 2000s-sounding song, and it in, she sings as the chorus: "I think I had enough. A-wup, a-wup, a-wup." or something like that. There may have been a rapping verse(s).
openSong the played in YouTube ads by a band called The Mummies/The Mummys Music
I don't remember the lyrics, but I do remember the music video, which was a You Tube ad I only ever got once. It was by a band The Mummies or The Mummys. I don't think it was Garage Punk band of the same name or the Funk band Here Come the Mummies, but they could have been. They did dress up as stereotypical Egyptian mummies though, like both of those bands.
The music video hand the members of the band singing the song, while different would focus on different parts of there body.
Edited by datadoggieein

A few years ago I heard a song which I think was punk/rock/alternative where after the song ended the band members started telling a story about how they left their friend in the tour van or car? The story was casual like they were just chilling out and telling it after the recording.
