for some reason in my head it sounds like aprhodite's child the four horsemen slowed down

the thing about this song was that it was really long and it just kept going on and on, relentlessly, lyrics didn't really repeat themselves apart from a small chorus or refrain type thing

i have a feeling the thread title might have been something along the lines of "i've had this song on for hours and it rules!" or something, but there are a lot of threads like that, and this one def had the youtube embed as the first post.

gah this is actually really annoying me, can't think of any other way to find it

This might be a stretch but I have faith. So a song popped into my head yesterday morning, hadn't heard it in an age but fairly familiar with it. Must be at least 20 years old, Walker Brothers kind of vibe I thought. Unfortunately I then forgot all about it, and now all I have left is a half remembered snatch of lyrics that may have been wrong in the first place:

when (something happens) (night falls?) I (we? they?) will send up a yellow (paper?) moon (balloon)?

It's not Yellow Balloon by Yellow Balloon is it?

Didn't think so.

Song from the last year or two that samples Arvo Part's "Fratres." Sample-based with pretty noise.

Probably hipsterish dance track from the 2010s featuring what I remember as one of Bruce Willis's daughters (Rumer/Scout/Tallulah) on vocals, but could have been a different Hollywood scion. Lyrics included something about hair looking like a lion's mane.

Whoever it was on vocals, she wasn't really singing iirc. It was more of a monotone recitation.

One more bump for the weekday crowd.

Yes, thank you!

Punk, metal, or hard rock song from 80s/90s. The only part that's stuck in my head is a guy yelling "hang loose! hang loose!" Possibly from the genre of "rock parodying rap" but not certain.

Sorry, just gonna bump this once to see if anyone sees it.

A song from the late 90s, or early 00s, female singer, fetishizing "farm boys", could be called "Farmer" or something similar. All my google searches keep telling me I'm thinking of "Informer" by Snow. It is not that song.

"In-Farmer"

xps to self: I'm wondering if this was not some third wave ska act that never got its lyrics on the internet, or maybe a Sublime bootleg or something. Or maybe some legit funk-metal like 24-7 Spyz (also next to nothing on the net about them - what the fuck?).

Get Loose by the Salads?

This is not how I remember it, and I think I saw it earlier than 2005, but this might be it?

roots reggae track, beautiful vocals singing a chorus that i think starts on a 16th note pickup, just: ai ya ya , ai ya ya, ai ya ya ya ... then repeats. it is NOT the monkey man song, that's the thing

hi dere

trying to find the song played at the end of "Fat Ham" at the public theatre.

Disco (vintage) or disco pastiche (I think it's from the original era); very Ballroom.

The only lyric I can remember is "show me (all) the way(s) that you feel"

Female singer; uptempo with big belt. I'm totally lost here

^playbill is not helping

very long shot, but there’s Maxwell’s “All The Ways Love Can Feel” - maybe someone made a discofied cover of it?
