Anyone know who sings that song, it's got lots of brass sounds Brazillian or Cuban, in the chorus a man sings...Hello...Hello ... but it's more like...hkello hkello.

Not good at explaining things, sorry.

Anybody....

He raps in english kind of Fun Lovin Criminal style?

1)...... Anybody know the guitar track played at the very beginning of the film "Space Cowboys"??? It shows a tranquil desert. Then a jet roars by.

Anyone?

2)...... And an old one that I posted a while ago?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnwOsjmwB88

It's only a short clip of the show opener from Chris Moyles' old afternoon show on BBC Radio 1.

ANybody know what it is?

RichTea · 18-02-2009 11:51pm

Anyone know what the song is and it sounds like (Forgive the description) it's by Cat Stevens with the only bit of the lyrics I remember sound like 'boom, boom, boom, boom'. It's played a reasonable amount of time on easy listening radio shows and stuff. Any ideas?

Sounds like Cat Stevens or is definitely Cat Stevens? You could search on Youtube for Cat Stevens and see if it's there.

Simon and Garfunkel tune maybe? They sound a bit like Cat Stevens.

Any more description you could provide? Heard it in anything specific?

If you just google; song lyrics you wake up, suddenly your in love. theres beauty up above.
You'll find plenty but most likely the song suddenly, then youtube is your friend

Could be the one alright. Cheers.

CJTobin · 19-02-2009 3:57pm

I can't seem to get a tune out of my head! I've only got a couple of lyrics. They're both in the chorus, I think, and it's a woman singing them:

"Why don't you put your hand in my hand?"

"Why do you take life seriously?"

It was a very upbeat country tune, if that helps.

Thanks in advance all!

kerash · 19-02-2009 4:13pm

Is it a recent or old song. Heard it on the radio? What kind of instruments? Young or old singer. Anything to identify the artist would be helpful

Sonny and Cher - "I've got you babe"?

EDIT: By the way, that's the song on the clock radio every morning in Groundhog Day

Amazotheamazing · 19-02-2009 9:23pm

Anyone remember this song from the mid 1990's. It was a one hit wonder and the chorus was a girl singing "we're doing it a different way, we're doing it a different way".

Might it be this? A girl band called Scarlet, pretty much one hit wonders she sings I'm doing it a different way on this;
Independent Love song

It's not Simon and Garfunkel as far as I know. I did the youtube thing with cat stevens didn't help.
My description sucks I know but there's gotta be someone out there who knows what I'm saying!

You would not believe how long I've had that song stuck in my head. I thought I would go to my grave mumbling about it. At times I thought i imagined it. Thank you, no really, thank you.

If it's definitely Cat Stevens, I'll go ploughing through the greatest hits I have.

bottlerocket · 21-02-2009 1:33pm

Anybody know the song used on the new Sky HD ad's on radio and tv?

Post-rock, possibly Sigur Ros, for some reason though I think it may be British Sea Power?
