May have been asked before but cannot be arsed trawling through entire thread:

Song from the 'never drink and drive' ad where the boy in the yellow shirt is playing football in the garden before being hit by a car driven by a drunk driver
It begins with "shall I tell you about my life"

Song that plays at the end of RTE's Monday Night Soccer over clips of goals and fans from the weekend's matches

Thanks for any help!!

Thanks for that! It's nice to be able to listen to it in a less harrowing, non-car crash context

There's a song i've heard a few times in nightclubs recently, but always have been too drunk to remember to record it for shazam, its electronic and hardly no lyrics and the main melody is kind of a French sounding piece(sounds kinda accordion like maybe). I know i'm being fairly vague but i'm sure its a new tune, but looked at all the dance charts i could find and still cant find it. Can anyone put me out of my misery:)?

is this it by any chance?

Anyone know the song in the newish Ford Focus Diesel Ad? EDIT: See it's posted above, cheers.

SQUINTING WINDO · 25-03-2010 12:13AM

Can anyone identify the song name and band name from the little information that follows...
Words and phrases that I remember..."hey mamma "..."and Im awful seasick ,you know I hardly know my name"
This song is from the late 70s early 80s and I think it was as far as I know a 1 hit wonder , the bands name was a single word ! (I think).
New to Boards.ie and this has been bugging me for years .

Carol_1985 · 29-03-2010 12:52AM

"Hi guys,

I'm trying to remember a song, its either sung by bruce springsteen or someone that sounds like him. It's a reallly quiet song and i think some of the lyrics are "she let him in her heart" (not too sure about this). Anyone have any ideas because its driving me crazy!!

Thanks"

Edit - It literally popped into my head a minute after posting this. It was Bruce Springsteen Secret Garden. Thank God, I can now go to sleep.

I dont what exactly "Kinda Accordian Like" is but this might get a few plays around the place, practically no lyrics.

ED E · 30-03-2010 02:23PM

Here's one thats been driving me nuts, the vodafone iPhone 3GS add has a great backing track, recording below.

kwestfan08 · 30-03-2010 04:16PM

Hey sorry if its been asked before but does anybody know the name of the song that's on the e4 promo for 90210 at the minute.

Sounds really good and I'd love to hear a full version.

JSK 252 · 30-03-2010 04:27PM

Does anybody know the name of the song in which there is a guitar and drums playing and the guy keeps saying ay ay ay ay. It could well be an english band. Kind of vague I know but any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like A-punk by Vampire Weekend to me.
