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.

Then click on video.

WTF is this song called?
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!11!!!!

VenusAsABoy | 22-12-2005 20:49

Please excuse me if this has been mentioned before, but when typing lyrics in the search box, it works better if you but it in apostrophes. It will search for the exact phrase. But be certain you heard the lyrics correctly!

[b]SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!
I need to know the singer and title for an old love song. A man with sort of a raspy voice sings it. I'm not sure of all the words but the main phrase is "This is love and it'll last." The music is piano. It goes like this: (the ___ is the parts i dont know)

This is love and it'll last,
heaven knows its __________,
i've been waiting on my own,
too long,
when you hold me like you do,
it feels so right _____,
its not too foggy how my heart gets ____,
when_________________,
feeling like i cant go on,
turning circles and time again,
cut like a knife ______________
if you love me got to know for sure
cus it takes something more this time,
sweet sweet life ________________
before i open up my arms and fall,
losing all control,
every dream inside my soul,
when you kiss me on that midnight street,
sweep me off my feet
singing aint this life so sweet
this is love and it'll last
this is love and it'll last,
cus whos to worry if out hearts _______
when___________________
dont you notice life goes on
when you kiss me on that midnight street
sweep me off my feet
singing aint this life so sweet,
this is love and it'll last,
this is love and it'll last,

Im getting married and I want this for my wedding song but i cant find the singer or title. Please help!!

VenusAsABoy | 27-01-2006 02:13

I don't know if anyone has heard of this yet, but here I'll post this anyways.

"Music playing? Don't know what it is? Just call Shazam on your mobile phone and point it at the music. Shazam hangs up automatically after about 20 seconds and sends you a text."

Shazam.com

For Canadians whose cell phones are hooked up with ROGERS, use this:

I just know what the torture is like not knowing a song that keeps playin somewhere and nobody knows it!!

chevsrock | 05-02-2006 03:21

i tryed it with the song that i'm trying to find but i still can't find it can anyone help? the lyric is "you an't gotta call me your boo just as bad as you wanna fuck i wanna fuck to." that's all i can remember of the song

shiningstar3532 | 11-02-2006 03:27

Great idea, and it did work for me too....but....what do you do if the song is basically an instrumental? We had a song on cassette tape years ago and every once in awhile I feel the need to hear it, it's sort of disco/electric/african...lots of drums and the only 'lyrics' if you can call them that are: Sing ba da da ba bo do...with a lot of dede de de dede dede dede de's.

xnachox | 15-02-2006 05:08

may i also add something?

if the lyrics you include have apostrophes in it, its best to do 2 searches, one with the apostrophes and one without.

example search:
don't heart miss you

therefore also search for:
dont heart miss you

i find that also helps alot

MATHGOD | 16-02-2006 07:29

hmmm . . . this may be a stupid question but, if I know of a song that I know the lyrics to but I am 100% sure that the song is not listed on LSI, is there a way to submit the lyrics to this site? If so, how . . .

bouche4721 | 28-03-2006 02:14

tried your strategy and cant figure it out, my lyrics are "is it enough to take me camping, in a tent down by the lake" its a country song by a male singer, a young kid tries do find money to pay his dad to spend time with him because his dad is alwyas working?

Storm_xxx | 28-03-2006 14:39
