Whenever someone makes a thread looking for something, whenever I reply, it's because I've used Google to find it - I have the musical knowledge of a frogspawn. So, I thought I'd share how I get it to work. If you're not getting any replies with your thread, or before you even make a thread, try this:

**How to Find a Song Name from a few Lyrics**
Say you heard a song, and you can remember the lyrics, "I get knocked down, but I get up again" and you want to know the name.

1. Go to Google.

2. Type lyrics followed by the snippet of lyrics you know. If you're unsure if it's but or when or if, it doesn't matter, just leave it out.

So, you'll have entered:
lyrics i get knocked down i get up again

3. Press search!

9 times out of 10, the song will jump out at you...you'll get a preview of the rest of the lyrics which might jog your memory. If it's covered by more than one artist, a little research will find out who it is for you.

I find that with 'lyrics' at the start, you are far far far more likely to find the song. If you still have no luck, try with slight variations of what you can remember - Is it knocked down, or blocked down? If that still doesn't work, just remove the words you're unsure of altogether.

When you're using this method, it's key words like people or place names, unusual phrases or what you think are key parts to the song that will help you find what you're looking for.

Hope this helps.

I tried the whole google thing but it didn't quite work for me! If anyone can help me find this song, i'd be so grateful! The lyrics that i think i know are... "Please tell, me we're(it's) alright, it's not the end of our ride" And unfortunately thats about it. The song is relatively new and fresh. Help! Please!

johnny_knoxvill | 02-10-2006 09:38

Hey! Anyone who knows the name of the trance/techno song, (it goes):
"Dance with me.......dance on cocaine, LSD, ecstasy" then the beat goes off! Just wondring if any1 knows the actual name of it? Thanks!

Hey Guys!
I've been looking for a song allover the net and it doesn't seem to exist now! Neither Google nor Amazon now about it, and it should be so well-known!
Anyway, the song is the opening theme for the movie Cruel Intentions 3. I believe this movie didn't realease it's soundtrack album, cause it's nowhere around the web. I managed to write down some lyrics from the beginning:

[lyrics=]Cover me with poison
So I can't see this life that's leaving me
Promises that (sth) spoken
All painted on this walls and my hands are (sth)
From holding on this world you want from me

So farewell and goodnight
(sth)
We are titans, we are heroes
(...)

It's a pretty long extract and somehow Google (it's Google gor God's sake!) doesn't know about it. If anyone knows the title I could try to download it, sure someone over the globe has it.
Thanks in advance!

¡¡¡I FOUND IT!!!
It's not in Google, it's not in Amazon, it's not in any P2P software...

The opening theme for Cruel Intentions 3 is the song "Broken", from barely known artist, Dalton Grant, who's the author and performer of several songs for the movie. There's a sample clip for that song and others of his in his website www.daltongrant.com and one full song, "Smile".

¡He's a genius!
Enjoy.

W0ow_ | 04-10-2006 17:16

Can't find any lyrics of Yellowcard or Gob. I have found it here before, but now they're just gone. Can someone help me?

natatat | 21-10-2006 22:11

Anyone know the song in the car commercial where a guy is driving and all of a sudden a dog, wife and kid pop up in the seats?? Sounds like some of the lyrics are "it feels so . . . "

shinra_elite | 25-10-2006 15:05

Well, this one's been bugging me for weeks now. It's a dance song I heard on the radio, female voice. There aren't many different lyrics, the only ones I could make out were

"In my love, *i think the next bit is* like i never felt this love was true, baby

In my love, wooooooo oooooh,

In my love, *etc etc etc*

All my friends know the sound of it, but not the name. Any help would be incredibly appreciated!

Allykat801 | 26-10-2006 07:29

RachelJ31 | 03-11-2006 23:27

Ive tried this, Im normally good at finding any song I want. Because the only lyrics I know to this song are "dont try to hide" may be the reason why I am having no luck .... it has to be a fairly new song. The voice sounds a lot like Tina Turners ... any help would be appreciated.

I CANNOT find these songs and it's making me so mad! I ripped a cd of my friends onto my computer but I don't know the songs (and she just found it on the ground, so we don't know all the names of the songs, so I've been looking them up on google, but there's a few I really like and can't figure them out).

The first one goes :

I love the way you rub my body baby, I love the way you rub my body down, I like the freak things that you do to me, Don't you like it when I make that sound

The second one goes :

Nasty girl, That's exactly what I am, Take you there because I can

Anybody know what they are?

I'm looking for the song name and the artist that sings the song. The lyric goes like this: "Oh I wish I was a punkrocker with flowers in my head,....revolution was in the air. I was born too late to a world who doesn't care, oh I wish I was a punkrocker with flowers in my hair"
It's a new song. It has been playing for some times so I wonder.
