Is it Good Charlotte? Don't recognise the description of the video but might be worth having a browse through YouTube to see if they look like the guys in the video you saw.


Is it Peter Bjorn and John 'Young Folk'?

FANTASTIC, don't know how you got it!
Thanks

There's a song in an episode of Scrubs.
It's at Christmas, and Turk runs to the big christmas tree in the park where he finds the pregnant girl who ran away from the hospital.
There's a song playing. Anyone know what it is?

Can remember that episode, scene and music alongside it perfectly..

.. it was Nina Simone - Sinnerman

Excellent basq, cheers!

Oh well looks like a good few more hours of watching the music channels to find the song!

EDIT:

Anyone know what the song was from the old miller ads-mid to late 90's. Think they were black and white (not sure tho) Guy going to cool party in a flat in the city. Song had female vocalist ( midnight + sunshine i tjhink were two lyrics which stood out)
Bit vague but woul appreciate any help

Shot in the dark but "Midnight At The Oasis" by Brand New Heavies (or Maria Muldaur who did the original)

This may have been asked before.... but I have no idea how to search for it.

If you have three or four consecutive words from a song, then most of the time this simple process will find you said song.

In this example, the lyric I have is 'save some face'. Type it into Google like this:

lyric "save some face"

...being sure to use the double inverted commas around your lyrics, which is why the words should be consecutive.

The example above will bring up pages with the lyrics to The Killers - Smile Like You Mean It. You can then chance your arm by typing that into Youtube, and double-check to see if it's the song you're looking for.

The more obscure the song is, the harder it is to find naturally enough, but it's handy for the days when you're walking around a shop, hear a song and want to find out what it is.

You don't actually need to use inverted commas. You just need to put the word lyrics after the words you have and that generally works.

Usually it will, but searching for it as a phrase yields more accurate results, which comes in handy if you're looking for more obscure stuff, or different songs which have the same words

Here's one which I thought I had the exact line to when I heard it, but google is not working.

It's "Come on Georgie Boy" or "Go on, Geordie Boy", sung by a man with a lot of power in his voice. (Come on, Geordie Boooooyyyyyyyyyy)

Not a lot of instrumentation in the forefront of the song either. Sounds like a bit of a ballad... Any ideas anyone?

Basq

Shot in the dark but Pete Yorn - "Georgie Boy":

Eighteen men went into the house
And burned it to the ground
Two men came out from the house
Never went to town
Everyone knew who the carpenter was
Breaking everything
Nathaniel was a lucky one
He had to get his things
Georgie Boy, oh, Georgie Boy
Sister Anne-Marie and a 12-year-old
They left the burning town
Rode for miles on a subway train
That's how the legend went down
And, yeah, now you've been fooled
And now you can see that
Nothing's gonna change
It's the witches who know
They only do what they want
And then like to have someone explain
Georgie Boy, oh, Georgie Boy
Now you can move and now you can sing
Georgie Boy
Now it's over when you can't ascribe
You say now's the time for a different try
But you have to tell

Does running make that sound?
Twenty years on
It's a mission accomplished
And everyone's feeling great
He says, "No one's ever gonna trap me down
Or make me make mistakes."
So now what you do
And now what you say
Means nothing to the rest
And you make a rich bitch
And you know what you are
Yeah, you find yourself in a purple dress
Georgie Boy, oh, Georgie Boy
And now you can move
And now you can sing
Georgie Boy, oh, Georgie Boy

Pete Yorn does like his ballads.

It's Georgie Boy by the Irish Artist Jack L

Thanks Basquille, but google had showed that up earlier and a trip to last.fm ruled that out.

BaZmO* gets the points in this round! Thanks a million for your answer. Google let me down after all.

I think it's "requiem for a dream", don't know who it's by though

Deeandra

I've just watched a drama on RTE called Eanair House based on novel by Maeve Binchy. There was one main song at the end of the film and it's killing me to know what it is.

Any help would be great, thanks xx

cheers thanks!

Creamy Goodness

now to kind of reverse the role of this thread a bit.

the song "We are not a football team" by minus the bear, anyone know where this is from, i think it's a radio or television ad but it's wrecking my head trying to find out which one.

stopyourshoppin

the hovis ad is the cute one with the kids growing up together. in a corn or wheat field. living on corn or wheat. have wheaty children. it's a piece of piano music.
and there was a haunting piece of music which seemed familiar on the ad for Passion of the Christ last week.
thanks

yummymummy

Does anyone know the name of the song in the current Crown Paint ad?Its something along the lines of 'whatever will tomorrow bring....wait and see'.My 9 month old daughter loves it so Id like to try to download it.Thanks

slipss

Anyone know the name of the song thats playing on the saab(i think) ad thats running at the moment. It sounds like its a Bjork song (but I don't think it is), lyrics go something like "I am a glass of water longing for the ocean". Thanks.

Horrible quality on youtube
This is a comment somebody left on YouTube:
"I found out from Hovis that the song is called 'Gold'. The musician was Charlie Morgan but sadly they arent planning to release it"
