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 DookieIdiotNimrodopenSonic 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.
openA certain music from a old train documentary film (Solved) Music
The music in question is a bombastic and heroic-sounding music from (what I assume to be) a old documentary film about steam trains called The Golden Age of Steam Trains. Specifically, it can be heard from around
here
at between 5:47 to 7:29. If this music has a name, please let me know for sure!
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".
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"
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
openGoth Pop Song. Music
The song is by a female artist...and it sounds like Siouxsie and the Banshees and the song has 'in the darkness, all over in all those places' or 'distant places' and sees...'in the spotlight, I see them everywhere'. It is a gothic pop song.
openSolved! song with a chorus like "step, step into the nation" Music
A long time ago I posted this https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/query.php?parent_id=29154&type=ykts
but never got an answer and it eventually got locked. Anyway, in case anyone was wondering I found it out and the song is Icehouse- Cross The Border. It turns out the the lyric is actually "Points to the nation", although I think I conflated that and the title (which is also in the chorus). As for the other two details I mentioned in the thread: the album was definitely "Measure By Measure" and the song that I said mentioned the Big Bad Wolf is "Regular Boys", although the line actually says "big bad world." Also, Kudos to Nathanforester as he recently posted a query linking to a song by Icehouse. After seeing the name and listening for a few minutes it suddenly clicked.
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'.
openSong With Oh I Love You. Music
I am looking for an 1980's era pop/electronic pop song that has a similar sound to Enola Gay or Spandau Ballet songs, it has sort of a Gary Numan's 'Cars' vibe to it and the song has ‘oooh oooh you, you know I love you’ in it. To get a better idea of what I think it might sound like:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ie7ECyuosq0
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ldyx3KHOFXw
I do remember it being electronic because of the synthesizer, and the riff...it might possibly be a Pet Shop Boys song but it sounds a bit like a David Bowie song or an Icehouse song.
openVaporwave remix of Tears For Fears. Music
In the How Nickelodeon Dominated Your Childhood video by Nerdstalgic there is a vaporwave/synthwave version of the Tears For Fears song Everybody Wants To Rule The World, but I cannot find it on Youtube. Who came up with this remix?
openAh ah ah song? Music
I’m not quite sure how to describe the song I’m looking for. People insert it into other works like videos where something sad or unfortunate happens and then a soft voice sort of sings “ ah ah ah” and the video goes into sort of slow motion focussing on the face of whomever the unfortunate thing happened to.

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
