I googled it and the fourth result states

Lily Allen song 'LDN' was co-written by Future Cut, and features a sample of "Reggae Merengue" written by Arthur "Duke" Reid. Released on 25/09/06.

That first one sounds a lot like that Fatboy slim song too doesn't it?

Getting there

Hi ,

Can anyone tell what this song is? Its been driving me mad as I hear it all the time on the radio (BBC6) and never catch the name of it.

Its a guy singing and the chorus is from Dream a little Dream of Me

Stars shining bright above you;
Night breezes seem to whisper I love you?
Birds singing in the sycamore tree.
Dream a little dream of me.

But its not a whole cover I think, as the rest of the song is not from Dream a little Dream (as far as I know). Its always on in the background so I only ever am able to catch the bit I know the words to.

Thanks!

anyone know what the song in the new RTE Sport ad is? the one with the movie posters

Hey, I've been looking for this song aswell. It's currently on RTE showing sport in movie posters. I cant even find it on youtube. It's a dance song with barely any lyrics. Driving me maaaaaaaad!!!

Habba the Jutt

Hey now,
Anyone got a handle on the instrumental playing in promos for new drama shows on TG4???

beefjerky

On the discovery channel there is an ad for a new show starting soon called Swords: life on the line.

The song in the background is driving me nuts, I recognize it and am sure it’s been used before in a film or something… I’m pretty sure it is an instrumental only

Anyway I can’t find the ad on youtube (just keeps throwing results from the US show which was already aired) so have nothing as a start point!

Has anybody any ideas? I’ll watch later and might see the ad again to get more clues

Ok, my Oh is stuck trying to think of this song. She has no idea what its called nor the singer. She knows it was out in the early 2000s and the video involved a girl with red hair and a green dress. Any ideas?

It was around in the 90's I think, and it was kind of cheesy indie pop/rock. I think either the band name, song name or chorus had the word "Bingo" and it was about someone going to a prostitute and mentioned red lights. FOr the life of me i cant find it on the internet because I cant remember enough about it. Can anyone help?

'Bingo' by Catch, maybe?

Hi there,
The programme "This Sporting Life" featuring Eamonn Coughlan on RTE1 on Thurs 27th January, played a song just at the end of the programme and as the final credits rolled, sounds kind of like the style of Empire of the Sun or Ladyhawke. If anyone out there could tell me what it is I would be so grateful, it is DOING MY HEAD IN!!
