When you tell me the answer, I will likely nut-punch myself for forgetting it. I can play this damned song on the fiddle, yet can't remember it's name.
From like :30-1:38
here.
And I know the name of the third reel as well. Little help?

Name that tune: this morning, the guest preacher played a video about Myanmar. He was from
OMF International. I remember too little of the song in the background to do a fruitful search: something something 'what does it mean to live this life' and something about a shore, maybe. Sung by a man, sparse instrumentation. Can you help me?

Can anybody identify
this Chinese language song? At least, we think it's Chinese. A friend of mine found it somewhere totally devoid of context, and now we're wondering what it is and where it's from. Any help you can give us would be just fine.

Heard a catchy as-all-get-out song on CJBC-FM
Espace musique early this afternoon. All I remember:
- In French
- Female singer
- Had kalimba/mbira featured pretty heavily
- Had "mercurochrome" and perhaps "petit pansement" in the lyrics.
Anyone able to ID it, please?

So... nineteen years ago I recorded the top 30 countdown on Mars FM, a radio station in L.A.
Four years ago I dumped those cassette tape recordings to MP3, and in the process I found
this song that I've been wondering about all this time. The end of the tape comes right as the announcer is about to say what it is. All I can tell you, which I highly doubt will help at all, is that it was #16 on the Mars FM Top 30 for January 4th, 1992.
I asked some friends about it at the time, but nobody knew what it was, and Tunatic wasn't able to decipher it, so I forgot about it for a while, but just the other day I remembered it for some strange reason, so now I'm posting it here to Ask MeFi. Can anyone name this early-90s rave anthem?

I've heard this pop song a couple times on the jukebox, full of bass guitar. The vocals sound like Steve Winwood and the chorus phrase I think I hear is "hearts on fire", but this song is nothing like
Steve Winwood's Hearts On Fire. Hep meh?

Can anyone on the green tell me if
Mit Viel Gluck by 2 Raumwohnung is a cover of a song and, if so, which song?
The first time I heard this song I was instantly confident that just about anyone could tell me what song the tune came from. Several attempts to find out later and I'm wondering if I'm simply imagining that I
know it.
It's so maddeningly familiar -- particularly around the 1:12 mark.
Can anyone help?

It's a good one. I consider myself a music aficionado, but I still am stumped on this one. My buddy thinks it's from a movie soundtrack, I' not too sure it is - but we both definitely recognize the hook.
We transcribed it into notes for you all - more after the jump...

I've been looking for an old CD my parents used to play when I was little, caled "here come the hits", but it doesn't seem to be anywhere visible. In fact, it seems to have dropped out of existence entirely; I can't even find a tracklisting on the internet so I can gather the songs from other sources.
I know "shout" by tears for fears was one of the songs, and "black cars look better in the shade" and "one night in bangkok" are likely contenders. Can somebody help me find an official tracklist for this album of 80's one-hit-wonders so I can get some closure?

I’m looking for a song I heard a few years ago. It was some kind of techno song, and I remember a spoken line that sounded awfully like "
My name is Benny the killer fuck beef truck." I have a feeling those aren’t the actual lyrics.

Name that science-fiction story (yes, another one): I recall reading an SF short story in which everyone carries around a little gadget that always tells them what to do, which everyone willingly obeys, and without which everyone is helpless. I think the gadgets were called "little brother." The story probably dates back to the 50s or 60s (I read it in the 80s—this has nothing to do with Cory Doctorow's "Little Brother," which I have not read).

What song is
this?
Ethereal and moody vocals (not quite spy, not quite gothic, but leaning ecletic), jazz rock background, sounds a bit like early Goldfrapp, or Morphine, or maybe even Darling Violetta. (All pretty approximate.)
Very rough lyrics:
I call you Tracy,
You get along,
You lovely...
sing me your song.
I call you darling,
I know it's strong.
I bet...
...and on.
Show goes on.
Show goes on.
I call you ...
...
I call you Liza B.
I wish I could see
That maybe it's only my dream.
It's only my dream.
Show goes on.
Show goes on.
I miss...
...queen of bees (beasts?).
That honey Suzie,
bewitched by me.
I think you're...
what else can be?
...
...
Be my promise breaker,
...
delusion maker,
...
I wish I could see,
It's only my dream.
Show goes on,
The show goes on.
