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

Driving me mad trying to find out the name of this song.

Was published by ministry of sound a few year ago.

Video is two lads in a racing in a bumper car all suited up in racing gear and iirc the lyrics where 'call me now'.

Frustrating thing is I knew the name of the song 3 times over the years but I never wrote it down and the last time I spent months finding the name of it.

Think the name of the band started with an 'M' and had 'park' in the name somewhere tried googling be got nothing.

Again, unfortunately no. Cheers for the suggestion. I think I recognised the band as American non-mainstream rock.

Edit: I have it!!! Portishead - Machine Gun

Any help would be appreciated, its been driving me mad for aages!
Thanks!

I know that is could sound stoopid, but could you help me with one Irish song?
I had heard a song, a ballad, about a guy from a chip shop who proposed to his colleague, but she refused him. He threw the ring into the sea, but some fish ate the ring, the fish got into the chipper and the girl found that ring when she was cleaning the fish.

Could you tell me what is the name of the song and who is the composer/singer, please?

Heard this song today and I cant get its name.

Its a rap song with a class opening tune ( I think its from Romeo and Juliet film ) anyway in the middle it says " its alive, its alive " Frankenstein style and then it moves on into rap from then on.

The tune at the start is class and peaks at " its alive "

The start tune is like a cross between requiem for a dream and gladiator theme tune.

The next song on the cd, went like this: where the dogs, where the dogs, where the dogs at.

Think that one is Jay Z or something.

There is a Road Safety Authority campaign on telly at the moment.

A wreckless driver pins a courting couple to a wall.

There's a really atmospheric tune playing in the ad:

'Can't take my eyes off you' or something.

Anyone know which one I mean?

If it is from Romeo + Juliet, there's a cd of the score, called volume 2, not to be mistaken with the soundtrack album. It starts off with some dialogue, then O Verona, a classical piece, then breaks into The Montague Boys - featuring Justin Warfield of One Inch Punch. It goes "the boys, the boys", as opposed to It's alive, so perhaps not the same song, unless you misheard it. I have the album at home but haven't listened to it in a long time, so this is mainly from memory.

That one's the highly underrated DMX - Where my dogs at?

That's possibly the most impressive tracking down of a song I've ever seen in this thread...

Anyone know the track on the Heineken Music commercial at the moment.. Sounds like David Byrne from the Talking heads singing.

Evo · 07-07-2008 11:40pm

anyone know the song used on RTE's advert for One Thing to do before you die where there showing the elderly women going to Electric Picnic, its the first song used in it I'm looking for!

Why thank you. Seems I was wrong though.

RATM · 08-07-2008 3:56pm

Going mad looking for a song, Im fairly sure it is by Radiohead and come out some time ago. The crux of the songs chorus involves the lyrics "Here Tonight". I know this is not much to go on but this song was fairly big a few years back and Ive trawled Youtube in an attempt to find it. Maybe it wasn't Radiohead but the voice was very distinctive which leads me to believe it was Thom.

Any ideas???

I think that might be U2 - Lemon from Zooropa.
If not the album version then probably the Perfecto Mix by Paul Oakenfold.
