Two songs:
1. A song used in some trailers for the movie The Social Network and possibly Limitless. It had a choir going "ahhh, eyy-eyeh, ahhh, eyy-eyeh, eyeyeyeh, eyeyeyeh, ahhh, eyy-eyeh... and so on. I'm pretty sure there was someone rapping over it too.
2. This one song which had a jazzy, organ-driven rhythm, with some guitar in it as well. I remembered hearing it a lot at the beginning of the year, and it was also used on The Weather Channel as background music for local forecasts. Any suggestions?

Confessions of a Cloud Cuckoolander:
I need to find that 80s song "Youth of a Nation", which P.O.D. later covered. The chorus was exactly the same in the P.O.D. version.

I remember this one (parody?) country song called "Wiggles and Ritalin" I'm pretty sure it went "Let's put on The Wiggles and pop a couple Ritalin" over and over. There was also another line that went "Let's put on The Weather Channel and something something something something something" Any ideas?

Two songs from the View Askewniverse:
1. The song that plays in the original Clerks when Dante and Randal are talking about Star Wars
2. The song from Clerks II when Dante and Randal are driving past the fast food restaurants and the burned down Quick Stop Groceries to get to Mooby's
Any suggestions?

A song that was a hit in the last three years. Chorus goes "Love is a soooome something", "soooome something" here being a three-syllable word or phrase. Singer is female, and sounds like she is black. The tempo is really fast, around 168, and the beat is prominent

Looking for that one piece of Arabian-type music. I can't come up with an example, but I THINK it's used as a regional riff whenever filmmakers/cartoonists feel the need to underscore that, yes, this is a desert in Arabia. Carries associations (to me, at least) of camels and desert sunrise. It seems about as familiar to me as that snake-charming song (Streets of Cairo) does.

Two weeks ago I heard a country song that must be recent by a young sounding female singer, I can't remember the words or the beat, but in one of the verses she mentioned her dad not minding her new tattoo, and in the chorus it mentioned Drinking wine like Jesus did. What was this?

Which song by The Crystal Method opens with glass shattering? I think I heard the song in FIFA 98.

A rock/metal song with an intro featuring two interlocking electric guitar parts. These guitars form a riff that repeats every four beats. Tempo is about 100.
Guitar 1: Rhythm guitar. Very distorted. Plays the same note three times. Staccato. Has the rhythm of dotted eighth note, dotted eighth note, then eighth note, or ONE two three FOUR five six SEV eight. Guitar 2: Cleaner than the other guitar but still some grittiness. Plays four notes in an ascending line, a straight four eighth notes in contrast to the syncopated rhythm of the other guitar. Sounds like an answering call to the other guitar.
The style sounds like System of a Down, except I know I’ve only heard a few songs by them and have already checked the ones I’ve heard.
Sorry, I don’t remember any lyrics or melody, just the riff. I guess the riff has done its job well.
