Song in my head driving me nuts...

It was played on the radio regularly during the autumn of 1995...

Girl band, kind of soft-voiced, somewhere between Alisha's Attic and The Corrs.

The chorus was "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah," ("soh, fah, lah, soh," slowly, in harmony)

If only I had a word or two of the lyrics, I could Google it, but I don't.

Many thanks if anyone can name it, name the band, or give me a few lyrics even...

Was it "In your car" by "Kenicke" The chorus is Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah.

You can hear the chorus part on itunes.

Found that on YouTube, no definitely not, much softer than that, that's kindof punk. Only four "Yeahs" in the chorus of the one I want... Many thanks all the same though...

Does anyone know the song that's played on the ad for the film Charlie Wilsons War? It's an old tune...really famous (well, relatively famous) and I know it...I just can't think of the name of the song or artist! hehe..

I don't know the lyrics though, only one line which goes something like this:

"And the days go by at the ___ ___ ___"

The three blanks are the words I can never make out but I know it's three syllables.

Once In A Lifetime by Talking Heads?

There's a few great songs played in the trailer over at Apple.com - is it any of them?

Bob Dylan's 'All Along The Watchtower' being the most memorable in my mind.

Two id's for the sharp eared gurus....

Theres one in a car advert for Toyota i think...with trendy twentysomethings on a road trip and at the end they go into a pub the words go
"what bam, where it began ..." kind of laid back song.

the second (for double points) is an easier one i think its the one on the new
budweiser advert for the 'ggggggggggggrrrrrr' pub one, its a fast uptempo one iand goes "oh my god.. do do dah"

if anyone can spot either, esp the first one, id be v. appreciative :-)

Would it be cool to post up a list of songs that I searched for and found
the identity of?

To help others who are looking for them?

e.g.

Heineken Advert set in Prague - Music is Knihovna by Petr Novak.

I've done quite a few searches and solves for music in the past.
So we can all benefit from each others obsession!!

Hi guys

do you know the ad with the girl in the fields and this rather angelic female voice sings this song.. it's been on Irish and uk tv for I'd say 2 months..

Haris83 · 19-01-2008 10:40pm

Hi to everyone, I got a small request, and I hope someone will figure this out...
In a documentary "FIFA Road To World Cup '06" (or something like that

), there is a song played during presentation of Irish national team success in World Cup Italy 90. Song is sung in Irish (I'm 99% sure it is not English ): ), and it plays along the footage of huge numbers of Irish fans invading Rome...

I'm a huge fan of Irish music, so I'd be very grateful...

Best wishes from Bosnia

Right, anyone any good at obscure 90's girl bands?

Here's one, the video was 4 Dublin birds with coloured strings in their hair on push
bikes at Sandymount Strand. They sank without a trace afterwards.

Funny thing is that their song was really good.

One of my favourite songs, that.

Summersong by The Decemberists, from the (awesome) album The Crane Wife.

Anyone know the music from the little title screens during mtv 2 commercial free?

Sort of a jazzy piano tune with a hip-hop beat iirc
