A grunge-esque song that was used in the Sea Change episode "Balls and Friggin' Good Luck", (starts at 36:54 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELZyCSBGrGo)
. The only lines I can make out are 'Feel like I'm floating/in the sky/I'm suffocating/double wired' but I Googled them and got nothing. Anyone know it?

I'm trying to find this French song. I think (my French is pretty rusty) it was about a girl whose lover was going off to war in Silesia. I know the girl wore a white dress and the lover was going to be at war for six or seven years starting septembre, en orient. It was in 6/8 time and the youtube video owner deleted it for no reason.

A song performed by Rockepella, one of those "the show ran short so let's have them sing a song" songs from Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?. It was a full-length song about the largest islands in the world. I've looked several times off and on over the years (admittedly mostly off) but I haven't been able to find it.

Saw this music video in Kmart within the past couple weeks. Guessing it was fairly modern, anime style with cel shading. It had a boy and a girl battling against a robot, I think, and the last clip said something abiut how no one knew who they were.
Music was fairly recent, electronic styled music. Colors were mostly dark, though bright, primaries and pastels were used sparingly.

One of my friends says to me, "Hey, listen to this song." He then plays "Iris" by The Goo Goo Dolls. I'm not familiar with that band, but I said, "hey that's in Treasure Planet, right?"
I did a little digging on The Other Wiki and found that the singer of the Dolls did some music for that movie, but not Iris. Any help finding a similar song with the same singer?

I'm trying to find the name of a song that has to have come out on CD in or before 2003. I have this it on a mix tape type thing, so I know most of the lyrics, but google has proven absolutely useless.
"Steal my day/Take my sleep/Leave my system incomplete
CHORUS I don't mind/I don't mind/Tell me I don't really mind
Fix it up/Something new/Yesterday's unrest will do
CHORUS
We keep tripping/Over and over/Stuck on the same old wage I stole ya
I don't mind /I don't mind
____ my ____ /Down the stream/Drink the water/From my dream
CHORUS
Rake my rage/Sink your steel (or steal?)/Use your muse to silence me
CHORUS
We keep slipping/Drawn to the center/Wasting the words I swore I'd send ya
I don't mind/I don't mind (tell me I don't really mind) (repeat 2x)
Tell me I don't really mind (repeat 8x)"
Any ideas?

So this one might be tough because it's a tidbit I remember reading about an album, which I've never actually heard... Though I think the genre of the band was Pop Punk and it was something that came out in the 90's. So, anyway, somehow during a Wiki Walk, I read about a group who deliberately left one song off a re-release of an out-of-print album in order to reward diehard fans. That is, listeners who knew about the band long enough to own the original version of the album would now have one more song than anyone who bought the re-release did. Sort of the opposite of putting bonus tracks on a re-release to persuade fans to buy an album twice.

A song from the Dead Or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball soundtrack that went "Nyang nyang nyang" and it had a female singer.
Nevermind, found it:

Going through a mixtape (there will be more music queries), and I found this song: [1]
Normally I would just google the lyrics, but I can't understand Spanish for my life (assuming it is Spanish), so here's hoping a bilingual troper might be able to help me out. Even just a few properly-spelled lines for google would be helpful, and I will be eternally grateful.
If it's any help, the mixtape was dated 10 years ago, and given the other songs I suspect it's from the mid 90s-early 2000s, probably leaning more towards the 2000s.

1. A song I'm pretty sure but not 100% positive was done by Jeff Beck circa 1982-86. If not Beck it was another well-known guitarist who was usually in a band but in this particular instance was performing "solo." The music video took place in a recording studio, and Beck (or whoever) was playing guitar while a bunch of other people came in and sang one or two lines of whatever song it was, kind of like they were auditioning. There were many famous people involved.
2. So I'm watching the music video for LMFAO's "Party Rock Anthem" and there's this part where they do a...I can't think of a better description than "high five with their feet." It happens here, at 4:02 of the video.
Anyway, that made me have a semi-flashback as I'm sure I've seen that particular dance move before. But I can't quite place where. Anybody got any guesses? (I'm not toalking about the "running man" dance in general, I'm specifically referring to the part where they touch feet.)

A group that started out as a doo-wop group in the late '50s but remained prolific, recording throughout the entirety of the last half century, with their last studio recordings apparently being around 2005. They have such an expansive catalog that it might be surprising to discover for someone who only casually knows about them.
This is how my coworker described the group to me, but she couldn't remember their name, and, for the life of me, I can't think of it either.

There's this line from a song that has been running through my head on and off literally for years. I can't find it as a lyric to anything though. It feels like it'd be a line from a TV Western Theme Song. The words come out very staccato except the last one, which is held for a few beats.
"There's a price on my head and they want me dead but for now I am free"
2023-04-09 "Let's Blow Up the Tow Truck" by Krypton. Though it's not the same tune/cadence as in my head, it's what I was remembering. https://youtu.be/Ik8mOX4xkr0?t=89

A song with aswing/jazz beat about New York (no, not the one from Sinatra). A man sings to his lover about the great things they can do in New York and promises to buy her alot of fashionable clothes. Can't remember much lyric-wise, except that it had "New York" in the chorus and the singer often exclaimed "Sister!" either at the end of a stanza or the chorus. Might be from a musical.

What is the song at 59:32 to 59:49?
