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?

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.

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.

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 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.

I am looking for a tune from L.A. Noire. I’ve listened to every track sample on iTunes and still haven’t found it yet. It plays near the end of cases when exciting things are happening (or in the car on the way to exciting things happening). There are three versions of the same tune: The first is mainly trumpets with violin backing. The second is a faster, much harsher sounding version, and the third is a slower sad/eerie version played on a single violin, closer to the end of the game. Sorry if the description is vague, or if I named the wrong instruments, I’m afraid I don’t know that much about music. here is a sample from youtube but it does not give a track name: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmqKHmkIY

I'm trying to remember the artist of a mega obscure song. I can remember the song was simply called "Doll", and I can remember the lyrics "Take her to a movie". I just can't for the life of me remember the artist of the song.
The song was used in a short home-made movie involving ninjas I just happened to stumble upon on TV one night (possibly ITV or Channel 4)

It was a music video. I'd say it was in the Early 2000's. I remember it had one of those electronic dog toys (Techno, I think they were called). That's all I can remember....besides the fact it scared the crap out of little me. xD
EDIT: They actually spell it Tekno...so that might help.

I've seen this everyhwhere: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGYG_bV5q1Y (At the beggining) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tX_Thlc39YQ (From 0:22)
All I want to know is the origin of this music... Where did it came from? I'm pretty sure I've seen it in even earlier works.

Okay, so while I was watching T.V. a few years ago (2003-ish), there was a music video playing, where there was a kid who hated his mom, and did bad things like steal some of her money and write a card to her that said "I hate you" in every page. I remember the mom read the I Hate You card and halfway through, she became frustrated and started ripping it apart. I think the mom had an unusual hair color as well... green, I think. And so, eventually on Mother's Day, the kid writes another card apologizing for everything he did, promising to be a better son, but when the mother reads it, she just leaves. Then it cuts to present time with the singer digging a hole, singing something along the lines of "I'm sorry, ma". It's been at the back of my head for a while now.. Anyone know it?

So this is another one that's somewhat less about the music itself: A few years ago I remember reading about a band that suffered a major case of Executive Meddling - Basically, their most recent album sold poorly, so their label threatened to drop them if they didn't record a cover of The Beatles' "All You Need Is Love" that they could license for a commercial. The band weren't comfortable with the idea and refused to do it. I think this was connected to the Chase credit card ad that used Nada Surf's cover of the same song. I want to find out the name of the band so I can see if I remember the details of the story correctly.

what is the song that plays over this level? (sorry for the crappy quality)
