There is a song that I think I heard during the end of the 1999 or 2000 Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards.
I know the singer was female... You know those Award Bait Songs? This would probably fit the theme.
EDIT: here's the (re-created) melody, and some of the lyrics in one of the posts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpAENyZ5Lz8
^I guess a few people still remember some of the song...but what was it called? Who sang it?
Is there *coughhopefullycough* an mp3/ cd track for it? :)

It's going to be difficult to find this music video, because I don't remember anything about the song or the main part of the video, just a Talky Bookends type intro - it definitely was a music video, because the place I saw it was Pop Up Video. The intro had two people talking, we only saw both parties from the neck down, and there were a lot of hand gestures, presumably to make up for the fact that we couldn't see their facial expressions. The pop up captions informed us that this was a cost-cutting loophole - apparently it was cheaper to hire two actors in non-speaking roles, then dub them over with voice actors later than it would be to just have two actors both speaking and appearing on screen.

This is REALLY vague, I apologize in advance. I won't bump this or anything, I am just seeing if anyone here can hazard a guess.
A friend of mine heard a song last night, and she was sure she was going to remember what it was, but she didn't.
Here's what we know for 100% certain:
It was a cover. The intro sounded so much like the original that she didn't realize it was a cover until the singing started. Both the original and the cover had men's voices singing.
Here are the "probables":
Probably,
It was mostly electronic. It was "pop" or "rock" (but not too hard) The original was by a British group. The original was by a white group. The original was from the 80's. The cover was by a black group. The subject of the song had to do with illegal activities, crime, jail, and/or prison.
The original was not by a band that she knew the name of, so we are thinking some sort of one hit wonder band of the 80s.
Does this inspire anyone to make a guess?

I heard a song on Pandora and can't find the name again. It was a sort of rock power-ballad type with male vocals. The only non-chorus lyrics I can remember were "you've told all your friends I'm just what you needed". The chorus was:
This is my heart
and it knows what it wants
it gets what it needs
and it thinks for nobody, but me

Hey I'm trying to figure out a music video from either 90's or 2000's It's killing me...I don't really remember much of the song, but I remember that it's about a Doctor and the song is really upbeat. I the music video is all animated with crazy colors and has a naked girl in it somewhere. The video kind of goes in a loop repeating itself a couple times. But the animation is def. 90's style and I can't think of what the name of the song is and who it's by for the life of me! I've tried various searches. Any help would be great. Thanks

This one should be a gimme. It's a pop song currently on the radio, it's about the gay plight, and at one point it has a Painful Rhyme involving the word "stolen".

Does anyone know what song 27 here is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQLsEJc_Vn8
(go to 3:48 to hear it)
I KNOW I've heard it before, but I can't remember where I heard it before or what it was called... I think it might have been a Vocaloid song, or music from an anime/game, but I'm not completely sure.

There's an 80's dance night I go to fairly often where they project various eighties music videos onto a screen at the front of the dance floor; they're not actually synched up with the songs that are being played, they're just there for visual effect *

I want to identify a song/band I heard on an internet radio station a couple weeks ago. It was a Symphonic Metal song (I think it was called something like "Fight Song" or "War Cry") with a female vocalist. The word "fuck" was in the lyrics several times (I think the very beginning of the song is the singer yelling "Fuck you!"). The album cover had a woman (probably the vocalist) wearing a steampunk-ish type dress and corset.

Super Mario Crossover v1 has that catchy Mega Man theme for surface levels (like most of 1-1; underwater seems to be Bubbleman and underground is another Mega Man 2's Robot Master), but I have no idea what it is.
The game's here.

There's this one song that plays on occasion in Man V Food and was also used as the menu music in Miniclip's Commando
. Help in identifying it would be greatly appreciated.

My mother's searching for a music video/song she watched somewhere between 1993 and 2006.
It was a duett between two women with rather high voices and in English. She describes the music style as "flowing" and soft, with a nice melody but probably no outstanding instruments.
In the video, you saw a nice landscape with apparently a lot of small hills (like either those small hills from regions with volcanic activity but old enough to already have grass on them or those big "islands" of grass found in fens, she says).
In the video, there also were two men (wearing dark clothing) with the women but my mother can't remember whether they did something or were just standing around.
Generally, she thinks a lot of time in the video was spent with the people standing around in the landscape and the two women singing.
Particularly, she remembers one scene in black and white (she's not sure if everything was in black and white or just some scenes) where the two women were sitting, the men were standing behind them and there was either a small waterfall or the water was coming down a small hill somewhere in the foreground. Also, in this scene she remembers one of the women (with dark hair) wearing a light-coloured top.
Sorry for the probably occasionally broken English, trying to translate her vague descriptions is hard.
Any ideas?

I remember I heard this one song a while ago that was really... bizarre. It's not that the lyrical content was that out there (at least, what little I could understand was normal-ish), but it was sort of presented as a protest chant sort of thing with music. It might have been about Native Americans, but I'm not sure. The vocals were this sort of high-pitched and, for lack of a better word, whiny female voice. On top of that- and I have no idea if this was just that particular copy of the song or if this is how the song actually is- it had this really odd audio quality where everything sounded as if it was being played through a rather cheap loudspeaker/megaphone. Unfortunately, this made it hard to fully understand the lyrics.
Fortunately, I managed to sort of make some of it out and remember it. The key word here being make some of it out. I made out four lines (six, if we count humming), and I'm not even positive I have the right words. Anyway, here's what I could make out, with question marks representing what I deemed to be unintelligible.
- Daft whores!
Best friends!

I asked this about a year ago and came up empty. I heard the song again in a Mc Donalds last week and still couldn't make out the lyrics. I asked my job coach and she told me she thought it was a Paul Mc Cartney And Wings song. There was a horn section that went "dit dit dit ditty ditty diiiih" but I couldn't make out the lyrics. I looked up several Paul Mc Cartney And Wings songs on Youtube but none matched the horn section of song. It sounded like it was from the seventies. With no lyrics to go by, I'm pretty much stuck. Anyone, help?

I'm looking for the name of the song that appears in the eight episode of What A Load of Buzzcocks (the 2008 episode) between 18:31-19:30. It's a rather upbeat song with a female singer, but it's hard to tell what the lyrics are as it's used as background noise.
Thank you in advance.

I saw this music video in 1989, but it may have been from a few years before that. I thought the song was by "The Turtles," but I can't find it in their list of songs. Here's what I remember about the video:
It starts out with the lead singer (male) naked in the shower in a public place, like a gym or a school and shows full frontal nudity. The camera follows him as he gets dressed and he ends up in a scene with some cheerleaders (all clothed) and he and one of the girls spell out the name of the band, which I thought was The Turtles because when they do the letter "R", he has her bend over to be the right side of the R, while he's behind her to be the left side of the R. The reason I remember this is because he liked that part so much, he would say, "Give me an R..." then "Give me another R..." a few times, even though there was only one R in the band's name.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? Thanks.

There's a couple of country songs I remember hearing as a kid and I've tried to find them to no avail. I'm hoping maybe someone here can help me.
The first one I remember finding the artist once and I believe she was Australian. It's definitely not Sherrie Austin or Jamie O'Neal though. The only line I remember is "welcome to the promised land".
The second, I know even less about. It's a female artist and the part I remember is "talk of, talk of the town. Nasty little rumour brings a big man down".
I've tried googling them before and I can't see to find anything. I'm hoping some of you may know something about it.

It's a song I heard on the radio this morning. It's mostly instrumental, except for some samples of the "Hallelujah" chorus and some back-masked spoken bits at the beginning, then it alternates between some neoclassical-sounding organ arpeggios and acoustic guitar parts. Only other thing I know is it came out in/around 1975.
