This is kind of a tough one, because what I remember isn't a song or music video, just an odd quirk of a band's discography: While doing a Wiki Walk through All Music Guide, I found the page of a band where their bio said that originally, the band had wanted to change their name every time they put out a new album, but always give their albums the same title (you know, the opposite of what bands normally do). After doing this for their first two albums, they decided it was a stupid idea and stuck to one band name from then on. Anyone know who this band might be?

There was a music video I remember from the 80's or early 90's. It was french, most likely from Quebec as it ran on Much Music, and the video had the camera going down (or backing out of) a corridor full of steampunk or animatronic... things; very weird, very surreal, but the music itself was catchy, but I can't remember any lyrics.

A friend of mine is looking for a song; unfortunately, it's not of a genre I listen to, and she could really use some help! She says that the music video was set in a street and the main guy had medium length dreads. She described the musical style as a "combo of hip hop and techno" and the lyrics included something to the effect of "shake it" that repeated a lot.
Thanks!

Another song, though my first one is still a no-go. This one is a slow sad country song that sounds from the 40s/50s/60s. I think it wasn't a big name artist like Hank Williams or Johnny Cash, but i can't be sure. The singer was singing about how his love had left him and he was whispering her name 'For all the wolves to hear' (I thought that might be the title, but google hasn't helped) and then something about waiting for her to knock on his door and how he stayed right where she left him.

I know the tune it is, but not much else—I've heard it in multiple places, and it sounds like E.S. Posthumus, but I don't think that's it.
The melody: http://www.sendspace.com/file/dre3x4
(MIDI file)
That bit is for vocals, with an orchestra bout it.

I remember a very small part of a song. It was kind of a 60s surf pop thing, more like Jan & Dean then the Beach boys (but it could be either) and the only lyrics i remember were something about the narrator being unable to race with somebody because they had a goldfish in the front seat. Despite the odd concept, google hasn't helped.

Some song that goes "I paint a picture on the wall, of the beauty of it all, till the rain comes shining through" or something like that. I googled the lyrics a million times, got nothing but I've heard the song a million times before. I must be getting the lyrics wrong. It's kinda R&B-ish IIRC. Please help?

I remember this song that was really catchy, but I could never quite find it anywhere I looked and I could never remember the lyrics. I remember towards the end of it, the singer repeated the lyrics "Top of the town" or "Talk of the town", I couldn't quite tell behind the badass combination of instruments accompanying them. It sounded late 80's, maybe early 90's, and it was fast-paced. That's all I got.

All right, this is a song a bar DJ used to play. I’d estimate its date around the early 70s, possibly late 60s. It was a long song and had that long, "jam rock" sound of the era (not quite prog rock). The singer sang lyrics that went of the format “I’m so ___ for those who ___,” or something like that. I think I once found out that it was actually based on a classic poem, but I seem to have lost that information.
Anyway, I originally thought this was an early Deep Purple song because I know they did stuff like this back then and the singer sounds like Rod Evans. But I haven’t heard any early DP songs that match this one and it’s the main keyboard on it is an acoustic piano, not an organ.

Hopefully somoene knows this song:
I heard it on an "oldies" station a few years ago, but have not been able to find it looking on-line, since I don't recall the actual lyrics. The song was an upbeat (40's?) tune - maybe it was from a musical. The woman had a Rosemarie Cloony-type voice and she was asking what this other woman had, that she didn't have, (or what the other woman could do, that she couldn't do), etc. Does this ring a bell for anyone?

This one has been bugging me for quite some time. I can't remember how the song went, but I do remember parts of the video. It was about aliens (I think they were animated with claymation, or made to look like that) living in a city in a black and white world. and one of them invents glasses that lets him see in color. the only other thing I can remember is that it ends with a group of multicolor aliens riding a carousel, or something like that. Also I remember seeing it on Toonami's midnight run. Hope thats enough to go by.

This one's driving me crazy. I guess you'd probably call it alt rock, and the music video starts with the camera going through a long yellow tube before stopping at the lead singer's face. Aside from that, I remember the following details: -Lyrics contained a lot of "-tion" words. -People singing in front of a brick wall. -Guy wearing a teddy bear head and no shirt flips off the camera. -Paint?
No idea when it came out, but probably early 2000s. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

I don't have all that much, I just remember a song where the lyrics were basically a series of faintly futuristic-sounding propaganda slogans, one of them being "The Beatings Will Continue until morale improves." It sticks in my mind, so it probably was a central part of the chorus, but I can't be 100% sure about that. Also, the music was some sort of industrial-sounding electronica, although my mind's a bit fuzzy on that bit too. '
Anybody got anything that might match?
