Could Anyone Help Me With a Song Title Please?

I would like to buy a certain song that I heard on the radio the other day but I don't know the song title. 😐

Also I don't recall a single line of the lyrics, and the melody escapes me too, unfortunately. It was a rock song, featuring a guitar (or two?), a bass guitar, and drums, it was in 4/4, and it was played by a lesser known band the name of which I did not understand because of a radio interference.

Does anyone have an idea what it could have been, please? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This red wine is really delicious. 🍷

@UpForItNow Of course I have an internet radio, but with that perfectly working thing the nightly magic is gone. 😐

helenS · 36-40, F

@ArtieKat I did the same, when I was 15 or so. It could interfere with all our neighbors' AM radios.
I could not do it now.

ArtieKat · M

@helenS I ought to introduce you to my friend Rob!

AtlanticAlice · 41-45, F

Sounds like "New Gold Dawn" by Fields of the Nephilim

helenS · 36-40, F

@AtlanticAlice I will check it out, thank you!! 🌷

CrazyMusicLover · 31-35

@AtlanticAlice I can't imagine Fields of the Nephilim being played on any radio 😅

AtlanticAlice · 41-45, F

@CrazyMusicLover guess it depends on the radio

JimboSaturn · 51-55, M

I Don't Remember by Peter Gabriel?

helenS · 36-40, F

@JimboSaturn Yes that seems so fitting...
"I don't remember, I don't recall
I got no memory of anything at all" 😐

JimboSaturn · 51-55, M

@helenS Hey you know it!!

helenS · 36-40, F

@JimboSaturn Yes but it wasn't the song on the radio, unfortunately.

Burnley123 · 41-45, M

I still haven't found what I'm looking for

U2

😇

helenS · 36-40, F

@Burnley123 That's at least as good as Peter Gabriel's "I don't remember"!

Burnley123 · 41-45, M

Whooah! Hold back on all the details because this narrows it down to about 3 million possible tracks 😜

helenS · 36-40, F

@Burnley123 Problem was, it was on shortwave radio and reception was very poor.

Burnley123 · 41-45, M

@helenS Your gonna have to wait until you hear it again, then Google the lyrics.

helenS · 36-40, F

@Burnley123 I'll have my SW receiver turned on 24/7 from now on!

SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M

"Top That"

Look how funky he is.
I will never be hip.

@SumKindaMunster I don’t know what that was but I couldn’t stop watching 🤣

SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M

@Ghostinthemachine That was some of the dopest, freshest, flyest rhyme dropping the 80's had to offer.

Ghostinthemachine · M

@SumKindaMunster careful there or revisionist history could have us really believing it. Can you imagine?
Actually at first I didn’t know if it was a modern day spoof

TheConstantGardener · 56-60, M

UB40. Red, Red Wine?

helenS · 36-40, F

@TheConstantGardener Thank you but it wasn't a Reggae song. 😕

JimboSaturn · 51-55, M

OMG! Sadly that is sooo me! During the day I hear a song and I think, hey I'm going to listen to that tonight but then I have a couple of drinks and I can't think of the band, title, a lyric, or melody, just that there was a song I wanted to hear badly!

CountScrofula · 41-45, M

Oh clearly you're talking about Typical Girls by the Slits.

View 1 more replies »

CountScrofula · 41-45, M

@helenS Experimental British punk band from the 80s with an all-women lineup. I think the name is intended to provoke that reaction lol

helenS · 36-40, F

@CountScrofula An all-female band named "The Slits". 😏
Reminds me of "Pussy Riot", in Russia...

CountScrofula · 41-45, M

@helenS Can almost -entirely- guarantee there's some influence there lol

jackson55 · M

My ability to read minds has diminished as I’ve gotten older. So sorry I can be no help.

helenS · 36-40, F

@jackson55 If you have any idea what song it could have been, please do not hesitate to contact me at your earliest convenience.

jackson55 · M

@helenS Yes ma’am.

SW-User

That is really not specific at all. Maybe contact that radio station or see their schedule if you remember the time and date.

GerOttman · 61-69, M

I guess we could just work through every song on the internet... let's start here!

[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GK462XnRjQ]

helenS · 36-40, F

@GerOttman That's a beautiful song! 🌷
Unfortunately, it's not the one I'm looking for, because there was a bass guitar and a drummer; and I think the singer was male but I'm not sure.

SW-User

Wow, so much detail! This will be easy 😂

helenS · 36-40, F

@SW-User It was on shortwave radio, if that's of any help.

SW-User

@helenS not even a little bit 😂😂

helenS · 36-40, F

@SW-User There was a lead guitar [u]and[/u] a rhythm guitar although I'm not sure.

OnePatheticClown · 51-55, M

Sounds like "rancid amputation" by cannibal corpse

helenS · 36-40, F

@OnePatheticClown I will check it out, thank you! ♥️

JimboSaturn · 51-55, M

@OnePatheticClown but that's just common sense.

VirginMatchmaker · 46-50, M

Depending what station you were listening too there's likely to be a playlist. I'm sure Radio Stations keep records of what they play and when anyway. So I'd try looking at that Stations website?

VirginMatchmaker · 46-50, M

@helenS I didn't even realise Short Wave still existed. Maybe tune in on SW at the same time and see if you recognise any voices of presenters?
Do you have anymore details as to what you may listened too?

helenS · 36-40, F

@VirginMatchmaker There were bad interferences, so I didn,t understand much 😐

VirginMatchmaker · 46-50, M

@helenS oops. Then I don't think you're going to be able to find out, unless you can say who it resembles musically.

Londonn · 36-40, M

ahaha ok I know that song, called "Red Wine Amnesia" 😁

TheSirfurryanimalWales · 61-69, M

Shortwave radio.....that’s a bit old school.
Was it Radio Mi Amigo?
Anyway try Shivas Headband....six thousand million miracles.
They are lesser known.

TheSirfurryanimalWales · 61-69, M

@helenS I still have a shortwave radio.
And use here

websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/?tune=6085am

helenS · 36-40, F

@TheSirfurryanimalWales I tried to make my own SW radio, as a teen girl, but it never really worked well. I was too inexperienced, and shortwave is really difficult.
But my self-made AM radio is still doing fine! 4 transistors.

TheSirfurryanimalWales · 61-69, M

@helenS
Radio mi Amigo is on 6085khz and 3985 kHz
As well as online

GerOttman · 61-69, M

I keep an app called Shazam on my phone for just such musical emergencies! Tap the icon and it tells you what the song is. Does not work for live music, has to something recorded and released.

helenS · 36-40, F

@GerOttman Problem is, I don't recall the melody.

GerOttman · 61-69, M

@helenS well as someone else mentioned. if you remember the station you were listening to and the approximate time you heard it, they usually have the playlist posted on the stations website.

helenS · 36-40, F

@GerOttman It was on shortwave radio, and I do not remember the frequency.

Roll with it - Oasis

helenS · 36-40, F

@Mindfulness Thank you – I'll try! 🌷

Mindfulness

You crack me up! 🤣🤣🤣

iamelijah · 26-30, M

This is too vague. You need more specific things to describe it. The lyrics, the band name or few catchphrase if you recalled.

helenS · 36-40, F

@iamelijah I remember it was about 4 minutes long.

iamelijah · 26-30, M

@helenS

I'm sorry. I wish I can help. Usually when I was looking for a song, I will humming the song using google app to search it.
Mostly I got the match.
As long you able to remember the tones.

Best wishes for you. 🤞🏼

helenS · 36-40, F

@iamelijah Thank you - with some luck I will find it. 🌷

ArtieKat · M

Oh Helen! 🤣

My advice to you is to keep drinking

@HoraceGreenley Fernet Branca is an Italian digestive bitters.
"Too much" means: I start writing silly things 😐

HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M

@helenS I looked it up. It's interesting.

If that is your definition of "too much" you have nothing to worry about.

I've said many times that SW is better when buzzed.

helenS · 36-40, F

@HoraceGreenley True 😏

Ghostinthemachine · M

Maybe make an audio file and hum a few bars and then post it here and then…we still won’t be able to help you 😂

helenS · 36-40, F

@Ghostinthemachine I know it's extremely unlikely, but so is winning the lottery, and millions of people do it every week.

Ghostinthemachine · M

@helenS you can’t win if you don’t buy a ticket ;)

MrBlueGuy

Well...that narrows it down to almost every song in history. Hmmm...let's just say it was called "My Head is a Turnip" By "The Screaming Eyeballs"

anythingoes477 · M

I LOVE THAT SONG......I know the one you mean.

anythingoes477 · M

@helenS Sometime this search for that song title should be explored...in depth.

helenS · 36-40, F

@anythingoes477 Yes deeply.

anythingoes477 · M

@helenS I think if we really put ourselves into this.....that song title will cum to us.

Pretzel · 61-69, M

Gotta be Layla or
Sweet Home Alabama

if it wasn't - well it just doesn't matter :)

helenS · 36-40, F

@Pretzel I'll have to check out "Gotta be Layla", thank you su much! 🌷

Pretzel · 61-69, M

@helenS it's always a pleasure to help out a fellow sweep!

SW-User

@helenS Yes, lesser known band who played rock songs with guitar, bass and drums. They sort of sang in English

helenS · 36-40, F

@SW-User Thank you, I will check them out. 🌷

stratosranger · M

Got it. It was definitely Roundabout* (* this reply may contain sarcasm)

helenS · 36-40, F

@stratosranger Thank you - it wasn't prog. 🌷

SledgeHammer · 46-50, M

Are you serious?
Really gave nothing to go by
I mean.. how about a tempo?

Oh rock ok

helenS · 36-40, F

@SledgeHammer Yes it was rock music.

Vivaci

Gimme a beat at least! 🤭

Cheers! 🍷

helenS · 36-40, F

@Vivaci It was a bit sort of "buck chuck-a-buck chuck"

Vivaci

🤨 and....how was the tempo? @helenS

helenS · 36-40, F

@Vivaci Medium uptempo I'd say. Moderately fast.

JohnnyNoir · 56-60, M

I just had it on the tip of my tongue. It's a favorite of mine

helenS · 36-40, F

@JohnnyNoir So sad you don't remember what it was! I'd do [u]anything[/u] for you if you could name the title, and I [u]mean[/u] anything.

“Your a mean one, Mr Grinch” by Small Town Titans ?

helenS · 36-40, F

@Jlhzfromep Thank you, I'll check that one out. 🌷

softspokenman · M

Was it by 'Yo Ko Onoooo!' 😱

helenS · 36-40, F

@softspokenman Yes - maybe. I'll try to find a song. Thank you 🌷

softspokenman · M

@helenS 👌 😉

SW-User

I think it was the Buzzcocks

helenS · 36-40, F

@SW-User Is that a band or what, please?

ninjavu · 51-55, M

Sounds like you've had quite a bit of that red wine. 😉😂

StevenIzzi · 51-55, M

Was it this one?

BackyardShaman · 61-69, M

😂😂one of my songs

bijouxbroussard · F

Believe it or not, there are music identifier apps. If you can remember even a piece of the song (like the bridge or refrain) and can sing or hum it into the app they may be able to identify the song.
