A peppy, upbeat song from the 90's or early 2000's. It might've been in a movie soundtrack but I can't be sure. Female singer with a slightly high pitched voice. I think it was pretty popular and it still goes on the radio today (at least here it does). I cannot remember the lyrics but I think there was a "(what) if I" or something in the chorus. I'm sorry I cannot remember more.

I'm looking for a country song, "classic country" era. The lyrics had something to do with a young man in love/lust with an older woman, and there might have been something about storms (literal or metaphorical, I can't recall), possibly in the chorus. I think it was in a minor key. It might be by the Oak Ridge Boys or the Statler Brothers, but I can't say for sure.

There's a bird (probably a New World sparrow or warbler), whose breeding range includes the midwestern US, that sings "tweetweet tweetwee tweetweet tweedeet" with the same melody snippet as a phrase from the Mustafar music; the penultimate note is a minor third above the previous six, and the last is a minor second below that.

A song from The Amazing World Of Gumball that goes "She's a lady, a fair lady. She looks like an angel, she's sent from above". Does anyone know who does that song?

A song I saw on MTV around January/February 2002 (or was it 2003?) with an old man playing guitar, a nostalgic song which I very vaguely remember was about old-time friends he lost or perhaps about other memories. I also vaguely remember he was sitting on a tall chair while playing the guitar.

I remember a song, what I think may be a famous rock/pop song that has an upbeat tempo and singers that sound happy, and its sounds sort of newish, probably not from before the eighties. I can only remeber the chorus, but it was very distinct, and it went like "tu-ra-loo-ra-too-ra-loo-rightnow" or something like that. Searching those lyrics only get me an Irish lullaby and something from (Pakistan?), which are not what I was looking for.

There's this one song I heard on the radio around 2000 (pretty sure it was 2000) in south Texas, right near the Mexican border. I'm almost positive it was in Spanish (EDIT: and the vocalist was male), and it had a very fast beat to it, drum-heavy if I remember right. Here the tune I remember being the chorus
, and this was also in there
. If I remember right there were a few lines that ended in "Gracias, senor" in the non-chorus bits. Any info? It's been bugging me for years.
Another song I'd like to know more about is this one I heard in an FYE, that was basically this old Irish guy... rapping, for lack of a better word. Well, more like spoken word most of the time. In between several lines (what may be considered the chorus) he'd ask "Do you 'something something something', 'something'? Do you 'something something something?" I think. (EDIT: It was not a comedic song in any way; done entirely seriously.) Anyone know an artist who does this, or, even better, the song I'm thinking of?

There's a German band that may or may not still be prominent, but were at least active in the mid 2000's, who I remember only because they had several unusual music videos that I'd like to see again. One had the band members lifting signs that coincided with the lyrics the vocalist was singing; another one had a guy dress up as and hang out with native Americans towards the end; another one still was some strange Scooby Doo-esque cartoon where the band was followed around by a donkey.

This is pretty vague, but I'd love to find the songs, and I've seen things turn up successfully with less to go on than this:
1) A kind of hard rock/ Post-Grunge-ish song from the mid-90's that had this odd repeated break where the rest of the music would just stop and this odd music-box-like melody would play for a few seconds, then the rest of the music would start up again. Sort of like Stop and Go, but with one instrument suddenly jumping in that otherwise wasn't present in the song. No lyrics to go on, but I swear I remember either the band or song being called Mother Nature - googling that or plugging it in as a song title or band name on allmusic gets me nothing that sounds like it though.
2) Another mid-90's Alternative Rock song - the main thing I remember is it had a verse riff similar to "8:02 PM" by For Squirrels
, although I know for a fact it's not the same track. It did come out around the same time as the For Squirrels song though (1995 or so): I even remember a letter in a music magazine's reader mail pointing out the similarity. T He singer's voice kind of reminded me of John Linnell, but it definitely wasn't anything connected to They Might Be Giants. Again, no lyrics to go on.

A few years ago, when I was going through my brief Anime phase I was obsessed with learning to play Anime music, naturally. Anyway, one website I came across had transcribed sheet music from a great many shows and movies. http://ichigos.com/
One song in particular has always caught my fancy however, the one entry found under "Clover." The only problem is I don't know the actual name of the song. I can find the sheets easy enough, and even have a midi file of the music (http://ichigos.com/res/getfile.php?id=668&type=midi)
, but I can't find the original song that the sheet was transcribed from. It's been bugging me for a long while and I'm beginning to think that it's just a song the artist wrote inspired by that anime. Any and all help would be much appreciated.

I saw the end of this music video...it had this baby with bright green, like unnatural green eyes, there was this naked guy walking around with his hands shaking too. It had a note-thing at the end that said "love Axl Rose" or "to Axl rose", something like that. I tried looking up Guns n roses music videos but if this was one of them, I didn't spot it.

This is a fairly recent song; I remember the video but none of the lyrics. Although some nagging part of me insists it was called "State of the Nation", You Tube isn't giving me anything that looks familiar. The band/singer are out in the woods (the lead vocalist had a big indie-dude beard), and in between cut-shots of them playing, they manage to round up a whole bunch of people and march through the woods waving the American flag with someone playing one of those military drums.

I'm trying to remember a song from the UK, mid-90s. I'm thinking of an upbeat tune, where the main melody consisted of possibly a string instrument, which repeated itself. I'm not a music expert, but I'll try to represent it numerically:
6 5 3 4— 4— 4— 4— 4 3 4 5 4
There were also vocals in this song. From memory, they kinda sounded like Ali Campbell. If it helps, I'm sure they used it as background music on CBBC at around the time the song was released.
