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.

And a number of xp Tracer Hand — Drivin N Cryin “Chain Reaction”?

fucking hell that's it!!!!

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

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

Thank you! Source?

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.
