that's not it, but thanks for trying
it's a lot mellower and less rockin' than that Band song, though not necessarily acoustic. think Gordon Lightfoot or Don McLean

a hard rock song whose chorus goes
"it's a chain reaction / everybody talkin / it's a chain reaction"
probably... 1990 or so? i want to say it's somebody like warrant, or white trash, or cinderella but i cannot find it at all. i managed to dig up a video by long-forgotten hard rockers "harlow" who have a song called chain reaction but nope

a salsa-inspired latin crossover hit from the '90s. sounds a lot like marc anthony's "i need to know". big brassy horn section with a very infectious hook that gets repeated throughout the song.
pretty sure it's spanish vocals.
was a huge hit and you still here it being played.

hear it*
elvis crespo - "suavemente"?
― c u (crüt), Saturday, 8 July 2023 17:01 (nine months ago) link
no, it's more midtempo, closer in tempo and feel to "i need to know"

Not “Smooth,” by Santana (ft. Rob Thomas)?

The Blackout Allstars - "I Like It (Like That)"?
― one time gaffled 'em up (one time), Sunday, 9 July 2023 18:01 (nine months ago) link
nope.
starting to drive me crazy. i might have to record a little clip of the melody.

sorry to interrupt one request with another, but this has been bugging me for years - indie pop / 60's motown with what i can only describe as the "columbian necktie" drumbeat, female vox - shangri-las / shop assistants / aislers set type of thing - verse chorus verse chorus then repeats "only boy" or "lonely boy" till the endany ideas?

xp massaman this is a long shot as “Johnny” doesn’t sound much like “lonely” or “only,” but some of the other elements are there — perhaps “Johnny Boy Theme” by Johnny Boy?

xp i've gone through MA's entire catalogue at this point and i'm pretty sure he didn't do the song i'm thinking of.

GAUHHH!!!
thank you

cmon how, like, spin doctors is that song
early rejecter - i think you might have it! - thank you! - funny how my memory had morphed it into something different, tho, so now i have to overcome the urge to continue looking for the imaginary song that never existed >doh!<

I’ve definitely had that experience. Anyway if you’re not familiar with them be sure to check out “You Are the Generation that Bought More Shoes and You Get What You Deserve.” That one’s a classic.

i realized my brain was hearing a spanish-language salsa cover of outkast's "the way you move"
whether that actually exists or was created by my brain is a different question
― budo jeru, Friday, 21 July 2023 15:22 (nine months ago) link
can anyone help me ID the song that starts at 19:30 here? or perhaps a spanish speaker could help me transcribe the lyrics, which would be a start.

It appears to be "Váyase al monte" performed by the Perez Prado Orchestra

I could hear the words of the refrain of the song, but that's a typical refrain from guajiras and you'll find songs out there with similar titles, e.g. Arsenio Rodriguez's "Vaya P'al Monte" so luckily I eventually stumbled across that blogpost. The Pérez Prado rendition appears to be pretty obscure.... I didn't know it.

i was thinking of the Arsenio tune too! thanks for the link.
