1 minute 51 seconds, the piano music. Thanks
Sounds like a Thomas Newman piece, maybe?
...It's in adverts at the moment on channel 4, its got a xylaphone, and it sort of goes like

'Iiiii(multiple syllables, pitch goes up and down a note or two)iiiii, really want to knowww'

Tried to place it in soundcloud but it couldnt find it...sounds a bit like noah and the whale or like a chilled out foster the people

I think iv'e been told before, but its killing me i just can't remember
This may seem very vague, but there was a very techno-esque song that was played at the start of premier league games, like on MOTD when formations are being shown. Think its been used on an advert of some kind too...it has a very low bass. I'm clutching at straws but if anyone can think, let me know please!

A youngish man/male group sings it (and almsot definately a recent song), sounds a bit rocky/poppy and it's a kind of romantic song and some of the lyrics are about wanting to take his girlfriend out but getting embarassed or something :confused:

I know this isn't exactly the most typical type of question for this thread, but can anyone tell me where I can find the most famous piece of music from Riverdance? It's the really uptempo one here, which (the most uptempo bit) starts at about 4:30. I know what it is, but I can't find a recording of it anywhere which has an artist/orchestra listed.
EDIT: Found it. If anyone's interested, it was just Riverdance by Bill Whelan.

What's the piece of music that is played on Scrubs. The episode My Conventional Wisdom where Dr Kelso and his "gang" walk in?

Dunno, but from a general search could be:


Vacation- The Go-Go's

Human - Jon McLaughlin

Neither of them. Thanks anyway. I always check the music track sites that list what music is used in TV episodes. It's not featured on the list. So it's possible that it's not actually a piece of music, merely a 20 second stock sample.

There's an ad on VIVA for its showings of Fresh Prince of Bel Air. It has a few short clips of will smith etc. dancing, to some music. The music is kinda energetic, dancehall/reggae with some guy singing something like badingbadingdingbadabading, lol :biggrin:

What's that song?

Hey...i'm new here, but hoping someone can help. anyone know what song this is:
http://www.mediafire.com/?u5198b94a21wn1b

I assume it mustbe from the new album since it has the album cover in it (and i'v e never heard of it b4). but im trying to figure out waht its called and if its on the regular or deluxe-only. i saw that the deluxe is supposed to have more tracks but the preorder links dont have tracklistings (which is ridiculoud!) i can't even tell if the preorder is for regular or deluxe. anyway...i can't find this song anywhere so thanks if you can help hunt it down.

I'm going to assume it's called My Heart is Broken given that's the name of the link and is a song which features on their new album :tongue: It's yet unreleased though so you'll have a hard time finding it right now.
