    Anyone know this name of this song? Heard it on the radio probably about 2 years ago now and I've always been curious about what it is.

    "As darkness falls on this quiet street,
    The only sound is the sound of your running feet."

    Google has failed me. Anyone know the name of the Jay-Z (I'm fairly certain it's Jay-Z) song with a sample that goes "And you just tag along, gee!" and that starts off "It's friday, nigga just got off work..."?

    EDIT: I've ascertained the sample to be from 'I Don't Want to Make You Wait', by The Delfonics. Still no luck with regard to the rap track.

    Hi lads, ye may think i am a complete fool for putting this up..I am looking for a song that id say has been out for years. I actually dont know the name of it but I think that in the song there was a bit about a guard. A large part of the song lyrics are "ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha"I know i mite sound stupid but if ye can give me any hints i would be grateful.

    Heard on Nova early this morning an oldie song with a great guitar riff and the singer(male) kept mentioning the word 'plastic' in the song. Seems to be 60's/70's song but leaning towards the 60's.

    I've tried googling but to no avail. It seems to be a famous song of the era, any idea?

    Hey guys really need to find out this song from the Top gear Botswana special. Before you ask Ive checked the finalgear fourms for the song ID but the TV episode appears to have a different track in this clip to the DVD version. Song is from 8.03 to 8.40 in the video. Thanks in advance!:)

    So i was listening to FM104 this morning and heard a really great song!! It was a pop song. Started off slowly and then got more lively. The chorus contained the word ''this city''. There isn't very much i can say about it. I think it's a new song. Anyone any idea on what the song is called? I've thralled youtube but can't find it anywhere!

    I'm very scant on info. Its a song that was definitely in the UK top 40 during November (as it was on in the gym i got to a lot)... it has a very catchy chorus where the female vocalist's voice goes a little electronicy... and a snippet of the lyric is '...... cos i don't wanna miss this.....' There might be a rap/hip hop element to it beween the choruses. I thought the DJ said one day that the artist calls Jayz 'boss'... or was it Eminem... or i could have got that totally wrong. I have searched high and low to try and get more info.. i listened to snippets of the uk top 40 in a youtube clip etc.... I'm sorry i don't have any more info.. but if it rings a bell with someone please let me know!
