resolved (SOLVED) Christmas song I heard on the radio this morning Music
Ugh, this is so frustrating. I heard this Christmas song on the radio this morning that I had never heard before. I tried to remember some of the lyrics, but since I was driving, I couldn't focus too much on the song, and now I forget the lines I tried to remember.
The singer was a woman. Part of the song was about how "this is no summer day" or something, and then there was a line that went something like "I guess winter is here to stay."
It's not "Is Winter Here to Stay?" by Yoko Ono.
The song had a similar tempo and style to Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas is You", but it wasn't that either.
Edited by DrNoPumaresolved [SOLVED] Old Italian-like song with English lyrics about Shadows(?) Music
I vaguely remember a certain song that sounded kind of like classic Italian or Spanish serenade. It was sung by a man. The instruments used certainly were a mandolin and an accordion. There was no percussion. From the lyrics I only remember first two words of the chorus: "Shadows never..."
The song is quite old. 50s or 60s of the 20th century.
Any ideas?
Edited by sohibilresolved Background (solved) Music
Does anyone know the name of the background music in this video? Edit mevermind I found it. It’s called Seemingly Simple.
Edited by Gamergirl101resolved Nu metal song that uses nursery rhymes in the lyrics Music
I remember my dad playing this nu metal song when I was little. It was a Korn-esque song that uses dark nursery rhymes like Ring Around the Rosie in its lyrics, interspersed with some screaming lyrics I can't remember. Does anybody know what I'm talking about?
resolved Classical(?) piece in a meme video, sounds like "Dance of the Knights" Music
What is the name of the music in this meme video
? I'm pretty sure it's a classical piece. It sounds a bit like a C Minor version of Prokofiev's "Dance of the Knights," but the melody is clearly different.
resolved Fan song for Maximum Ride? Music
There's this fan song for the Maximum Ride series that my sibling and I loved when we were kids, but don't remember the name of or where it was posted. I don't know all the lyrics, but I do remember the chorus:
Nevermore, I will fight to the end/ If you want something you don't pretend/ Not a piece of your game, not part of your lie/ Don't tell me you don't know I'm Maximum Ride
There was also a pre-chorus part that went:
Trust you nobody trusts you/ My game you'll never win it/ Let me guess, he's the first to die?/ Well just 'cause you can read minds/ Doesn't mean it's true, doesn't mean I care/ You know he's mine
I've tried asking some people in the MR fandom itself, but nobody seems to know of this song. If anyone here has any idea what I'm talking about, I would be so incredibly grateful for the name of the song/a link to it - it's been driving me crazy for almost two years now.
Edited by MissGemKnightresolved Creepy Piano Music Music
So, there's this piece of creepy piano music, you can hear it right here
, but I also hear it in iceberg videos. What is it?
resolved Alt rock song I've heard on radio in the past Music
I'm looking for this alt rock song I've heard on radio stations in the past. I remember two of the lyrics was "Help somebody" and "Somebody like me", and it was an mostly acoustic song that kinda sounded like something Collective Soul or Stone Temple Pilots would put out. Any clue as to what song I'm talking about?
Edited by DongwaChanresolved Name of song Music
Does anyone know the name of a technoish song. It goes "Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. Oh-oh-oh oh oh oh." I hear it a lot when I'm watching sporting events like hockey games.
resolved Song with some line about how "you cry when you need to" (solved) Music
I first heard this song in 2002. I managed to find it a long ways back, but lost it again, so I'm asking here. It had a male singer, and he seemed to be singing about his girlfriend or something. One of the lines at the beginning was something about how "You cry when you need to". I'm not sure what genre it is but it was pretty soft.
Edited by Bootlebatresolved Cover of “Copacabana” (SOLVED) Music
I’m trying to find a cover of “Copacabana” that is distinctively quieter than the others. It doesn’t have trumpets or anything of the sort, but it does have an acoustic guitar. I keep hearing it, but whenever I try to Shazam it, it shows Barry Manilow’s original version.
EDIT: I found it: https://youtu.be/8_48DLTQfY8
. Barry Manilow also made this.
resolved Remix of ATC "Around The World" Music
There's this remix of the song "Around The World" that I swear was called something like "VX remix", but I can't find it anywhere. I searched through 20+ remixes on youtube and none of them were right.
resolved "Everybody do the ??? Dance" song Music
I once heard this song in a store in 2014 or 2015. It went something like "everybody do the wants it dance everybody do the wants it dance something something clap your hands everybody do the wants it dance” but because I don’t remember some of the lyrics (and I’m not sure if they really said “wants it”), I’m unable to find it, and this point, I’m convinced that I imagined it.
resolved [Solved] dance party starts in a traffic jam? Music
Trying to ecover a music video for an EDM track. The video involves a traffic jam caused by two officers arresting a man. People start dancing, including a panhandler, a married couple with the wife pregnant and an older lady that starts humping an older man. Eventually the two police officers join in, and meanwhile two guys are freeing the arrested guy who than drives away in the patrol car.
Edited by Circeusresolved Anime Music Video About Girl And Robot Music
So, there was this music video I saw in around 2009 that was playing on some rhythm game installed at a Chuck E. Cheese.
It was animated in an anime style and follows this girl, who was running through a forest before she suddenly slips and winds up tumbling into this abandoned building. The building isn’t in the best condition with wires dangling everywhere, and she ends up meeting this little spherical robot (closest image I can think of is One-One from Infinity Train but with a different color palette).
A bunch of bigger and more intimidating looking robots end up activating and chase after the girl and the little robot while shooting lasers at them. The little robot ends up forcing the girl into an escape pod while leaving itself behind. It ends with the girl crying as the building explodes while the escape pod flies away.
Haven’t seen it since and it’s been driving me crazy.
Edited by RabbitsAreNeatresolved Song that says "As the day fades away" Music
There was this song I first heard on the radio in 1997. I would call it smooth jazz, or maybe soft rock. It had a female singer singing "As The Day Fades Away", which I'm pretty sure was the only lyrics in the song (at least I don't remember any others.)
resolved Iconic guitar song Music
There is this song I'm thinking off that I don't know the name off.
From experience I know the song/music is a classic and at least a decade old by now. It opens with an iconic guitar riff that continues throughout the song, being mostly instrumental but featuring a male voice, and it is in the minor key. If I could describe the mood, I'd say it sounds like an epic brawl of some sort is about to ensue.
This is about the best I can say about it, so I hope someone will recognize it.
Edit: I just remembered it is used in this video at around 2:12
.

I remember often hearing this gibberish song on Sirius XM radio (usually on Kids Place Live) with a hook that "dawimbimdumbamdumbadumbadum". When I looked it up it had an animated music video with penguins conducting some sort of invasion of London or another English city. Some scenes in the video had them using telephones and others had them in a living room.
Anybody know which song I am talking about?
