The "What's That Song" Thread [ PLEASE READ ]

Princess Grace

What is the song being played in the TV Advert for Without A Trace, on one of the SKY digital channels Universal ? Its a female voice, and a slow sad sounding song.

Wowreally?

the song im looking for as an intro simular to "sexy and i know it", its an old enough song from i think 10+ years

Was listening to XMAS FM and heard a song with these lyrics

"Can you feel it, it's nearly here now, it's nearly christmas time
Ring those bells, shout out loud, Santa getting ready to leave"

Sounded a bit like a Irish choir doing it....i think

Any help if they know it?

Thanks

Hi,

I've got a music cassette "mix tape" that I got years ago. I tried playing it recently and the songs were good. I could not recognise one of the songs - I think it's very catchy and I tried various lyric search sites but none of them worked for me.

Based on the other songs, I think its from the early 1990s. It's sung by a female singer. Her voice is soft and the backing (guitars etc.) drown her out in places, probably not helped by the general recording quality/age of the tape itself. It's a little bit in the style of The Cranberries. Anyway, here are the lyrics I could decipher:

Do you remember all the indecisiveness of our embrace,
What you need is a day in the playground,
So climb up and sit down, in the one spot,

Chorus?
Try not to feel so serious,
Stop wasting my time,
No one will find out,
if i follow my ...

Try not to be so serious,
stop acting good,
you're not a little boy,
cause i swallow my pride,
...,

Chorus?
can i ride that see saw with you,
if you wanted me to, i'd kick off those shoes,
can i ride that see saw with you

I'd be very grateful if anyone could identify the artist and the song....

I heard a song sounding remarkably similiar to we speak no americano by yolanda be cool in diceys last nite.same genre of music bein remixed (same sounding instruments). in fact you could be mistaken for thinking its a remix of no speak ameriicano initially. the lyrics 'same same' are repeated alot in it, if that narrows it down for anyone. any help finding this song would be appreciated!

I know Winter Song by Sara Bareilles and Ingrid Michaelson was originally released 3 years ago but I'm sure I've heard another song out before then with the same melody/phrasing. It's that part at the start of the verse "This is my Winter Song to you...". It's driving me crazy, In know I've heard it before. I think it was faster with a full drum beat behind it. AAAAAAGH!!!! Am I the only one???

Right I know this is a very long shot but maybe someone can help. If anyone has seen the play 'Bouncers' that was on in the Theatre Royal in Waterford, do you know the name of the song that was played during the fight scene?

Oh man this song has been wrecking my head too! My sister was listening to xmas fm today and said it is by someone called Sinead McNally, and it's called Nearly Christmas. Looked her up and she has a FB page where she talks about a new song she has out called 'Dance with Me' but no reference to her Christmas song except to mention the fact that another Xmas radio station were playing it. Went on their site, and they don't give any info about their tracklist either (nor do xmas fm) so I'm lost!! I have texted xxmas fm over the weekend, and sent them an e-mail to find out what it was, I love it so much, but can't get anything back. Will post if I find out, but would love to hear any update on where to get it in the meantime. Thanks!

I'm trying to find the name of a song by Florence and the machine. I heard it on a tv add for her newest album and the little bit I have heard has been stuck on my head for the last few days. Can't really make out the lyrics apart from maybe"lay me down"? Sounds like a very up tempo kind of song and I'm sure it's very well known

johndoe99

Anyone know the name of the Guns n Roses song that plays in the Lynx TV Advert with Noah's Ark.

Thanks

this really is a longshot but hoping someone might know!!

A dance song from about maybe 7 years ago - i know it was a european dj, pretty chilled out song but the video had a female dj getting ready for set. So doing make up, dressing up and closing scene is her closing hotel room with her dj gear

Anyone happen to know the name of the song - thanx in advance!!
