Help!
I can remember either name of song or band here.
Sounds like an old 70s or 80s song... Melodic tune. Sound alike something from Teenage Fanclub.
Vaguely remember theme about youth, and then later lyrics about when grown up.
"and then I'm getting older.... Chip shop..... Daughter"
Famous band I thought. I thought it was by Cream or someone.

Mebbe?

You absolute legend! That's it!
No idea how you got it from my hopeless description!
Thanks so much!

Can anybody tell me the name of the tune in the new Sky Broadband advert with Pierce Brosnan. Have it stuck in my head and hoping it's a proper tune so I can listen to the whole of it and banish it forever!

I'm trying to find a song:

A male singer in around the 80s with a chorus of children supporting half way through the song.

Its kind of like a power ballad and the video might be black and white. Its got him looking wind swept in a darkish setting (typical 80s).

If I think of any more hints I'll post them.

Thanks!!

Recently saw a dance video featuring a young girl running in sports gear through the city streets and crowds. Was doing some work at the same time so could not take down the title of the song and artist. The song was quite catchy in dance musical style ala Avicii or David Guetta and was played Sun night on free to air Dance channel and definitely one of recent releases, it may be in dance charts. Anybody would have any idea what this song might be with a girl running through city streets based on this describtion, the song may well be in sports add. have no recollection of the lyrics at all, just remember young sporty girl running through the city streets in the video clip and I was kind of looking out for the name of the song to come up at the end but that simply did not happen leaving me disappointed.. It may be one of the recent dance hits so if somebody is well caught up with dance charts, this should not be a hard question to answer...I think that running girl was wearing yellow sports gear if my memory serves me right ??? any clues ? suggestions ?

Don't suppose anyone knows what this tune is, it's from the chorus of some song from possibly the mid 2000s I think. It's from some band and they had a guy singing the lead vocals, it's been bugging me for about two years now. (not sure if this is the right key btw)

Thanks.

There's an ad for Lifestyle sports on at the moment with a girl running through a city, there's two guys in it too. Could it be this that you saw?

No, it was a full dance song video on a dance channel and this could be a famous song. Would you have a link to this add just to check it ? Thanks anyway.

sheroman01 · 08-05-2013 09:09PM

Does anyone know the song that was played during the highlights of the Chelsea vs Tottenham game on Sky Sports tonight

? It sounded kinda like The Cult, the lyrics I got were "Turn around" near the beginning and the chorus was "Desire, desire, desire etc.".

What is the song the just loads of famous peoples names, It was on radio last earlier and I cant think of the band. its an Irish band I think.

This'd be my best guess by an Irish artist, the famous proder BP Fallon released a track produced by Jack White:
I Believe In Elvis Presley

TICKLE_ME_ELMO · 27-05-2013 07:58PM

Maybe?

Hi everyone,

I am searchin for a song I heard on Irish radio in the early 80ths.
The refrain was something like: you keep me reminding of girls in my memory
and they keep me reminding me of you - to me it seem to be local / irish but not sure about this.
I am also looking for a Garry Cott Song - Pioneers. Is this available as a MP3 download?

The first one probably is Johnny Duhan's Girls In My Memory.

La Madame · 01-06-2013 08:16PM

Ey - thank you so much. I think this must be it.
Unfortunatelly the song is not on utube - I will try to find it!;)

Anyone remember an African song which was a chart hit in the early 80s? Heard it recently but didn't catch either the artist or name.

Israeli Superiority · 02-06-2013 10:59PM

Anyone know the name of this song @ 4:15?
