openMusic during IMDB Supercut (Jude Law) Music
Can anyone identify the music that plays during the IMDB Supercut of Jude Law (https://www.imdb.com/video/vi3910713625/?ref_=nmvi_vi_imdb_17)?
openmale artist in movie backlot? Music
I'm trying to remember a pop/dance music video - Male singer - Could be a band, but only one artist is featured in the actual video - He's dancing and interacting with movie props and equipments in a movie backlot - E.g. artificial rain, camera cranes etc. - The actual decor seems to be mostly a western movie of some sort - Actors in costume and movie technicians are constantly moving in and out of the picture - This is NOT the Universal Studios Hollywood backlot (i.e. not Why don't you get a job)
openAlmost-Eurovision singer Music
Can't remember how many contests ago or which country — there was an artist who was supposed to go to Eurovision but got replaced by the powers that be with someone more generic before the competition. I remember people sharing his music around to give him more visibility but that's it. He was a twink if that helps
openYoink - Untitled Song Music
i was looking for a Splatoon song remix when i found a Bandcamp user named "Yoink" who pretty much just posts pitched-down Splatoon music, except there's one song off of "shining future" that isn't from splatoon, and i can't for the life of me recognize it. the weird thing is, it doesn't have a name. it's just called "[untitled song]" on the track listing.
the song is here for anyone who's curious.
Edited by Tons-of-Ducksopenmusic video by a synth and drum duo where they're playing outside at night Music
This is another one I saw at a dance night where they project music videos on the wall, but the videos aren't actually to the songs that are playing, so I have no idea what the music actually sounds like. Only two musicians are ever shown on screen, one playing a full drum kit, the other playing a keyboard, and I'm not sure who's singing (I don't really remember anyone lip-syncing - maybe the song is instrumental?). The video is set outdoors in some kind of wooded area, and periodically there's arty closeups of bugs and possums and the like. If it helps any, I remember the drummer having long, blondish hair and playing pretty aggressively.
openvocaloid song similar to self inflicted achromatic Music
i remember a long time ago i listened to a vocaloid song similar to self inflicted achromatic. the video that had the song had bits of footage of real life in a neighborhood, if i'm correct. i think it was also sung by miku. the video also had whiteboard drawings, much like self inflicted achromatic. does anyone know what the song might be?
Edited by icecycleopenStrange Radio Song I Heard Music
During a road trip in 2023, I tuned in to All India Radio and came across a segment on 'Western Music'. There was a song playing that had a refrain that went something like "You don't play at night". Although I don't remember all the lyrics, I recall that the second half of the song had a pseudo-rap form and incorporated some disco(?) music.
open''Sounds Like a Melody'' techno cover. Music
In early 90's there was a techno cover version of Alphaville's song Sounds Like a Melody. Any idea on who performed it?
openMarijuana-themed hair metal song Music
There was a song I used to hear growing up, part of a Cheech & Chong CD my dad burned once. It was a song in the style of hair metal or arena rock, sort of like AC/DC with some Van Halen influence.
I think it might be called "Chong Mong," as that's the phrase used in the refrain, but the vocals were kind of indistinct.
Other things I remember: the song opened up with the singer saying "and we didn't have us a bong, so I made me the Chong Mong!" and the verses opened up with "It was a shivery/Saturday night, we woke up behind the Chong Mong."
I thought it'd be Cheech and Chong-related, especially as Cheech Marin totally would have had the range to mimic a screechy hair metal singer (and one of the other songs my Dad burned to the CD was a parody of "Macarena" that Cheech sang), but searching has turned up nothing so far, so I think it might be unrelated to Cheech & Chong (besides the drug themes, of course).
openWhat's the song in this video's outro Music
I know the song at the start, but what about the outro? https://youtu.be/SuU6kjNFPhA?si=2TrjD6c_DTWzOOqE
openSecond song that plays in this video Music
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mfV231T5S0
Not the intro song, but the one that comes immediately after it
openPop-rock song: Whatcha gonna do about those blues? Music
Lively pop-rock song in English, up-tempo, heavily piano based, C major, probably from the 1970s or 1980s, likely moderately well-known or at least by a well-known artist. Chorus, with two syllables missing because I'm not sure what they are: "Whatcha gonna do about those _____ _____ blues?"
I tried 'Old Man Blues', 'Brand New Blues', and 'All Day Blues', but none of those seemed to match. Attempted a bunch of Google searches and found nothing. Any ideas? Thanks!
openWeezer's Beverly Hills but Portobello Mushroom with Cheese Music
My friend told me he remembers a parody of Weezer's Beverly Hills in an ad or something, but instead of the "that's where I want to be" part it's "portobello mushrooms with cheese." Anyone know what ad this is is from?
openAnimated music video from a few years back Music
I really distinctly remember this animated music video I used to watch (on Youtube) all the time back sometime in 2013-2015 or so, it had what looked like high detailed cutout paper(?) animation of a child running from a wolf and other creatures (or maybe the same one morphing into other things), at one point getting swallowed by a whale, and at the end ending up in a blank white space. The song itself I think had a beat very similar to Rolling in the Deep by Adele, but I can't remember anything else about it.
openMusic video. Small animated animals being attacked whilst band plays. Music
I can’t remember the name of a song, or the band, where in the video the band plays in an animated forest and small animated animals come to listen but are being attacked by something in the dark. I think it’s Australian and the drummer is wearing a military cap. Searching for related references just gets me children’s videos about Australian animals.
openMusic video: 1980s song, convertible in the desert, hat thrown on the ground Music
I once saw a snippet of a black and white music video (probably from the 1980s, less likely the 1990s). The song was rather in a calm tone.
In the music video, a white man was driving slowly in a car (probably a convertible) through some desert. There is also a scene where, while driving, his hat falls to the ground.
A flash drive died and took my music wish list with it. What was the pop metal/arena rock album I was going to get from CD Japan that had a cover right out of the '80s with the singer posing downtown in punkish clothes? This would've been released somewhere in the 2000s or 2010s, but probably around 2007.
I know, I'm taking a long shot here.
