That song you just can't find...

[MikesVT]

It happends to me ALL the time. You hear a GREAT song on the radio, you get home, and you can't remember for the life of you the name of the song or singer.
I know there are people out there that can find a song just by a few lyrics and I got a song I want found... Well, moreso the person who sings it (as its about the 5th cover made haha)
I thought a thread for this kinda thing might get some intrest? Or maybe its just my memory thats inferior
Also, the (+ recommended songs) bit of the title is for when you hear a great song that you want to tell the world about!!

Anyways, the song im looking for tonight, I'm sure its called "I fought the law"
Its being played on Triple J a fair bit, so it's relatively new (its NOT the clash or greenday) Its a female singer, and its kinda dance.

The lyrics I remember are :

"I fought the law... I fought the law but the law won, STOP for the love of God..." I think there are other words as well, but thats repeated alot.

Thanks to anyone who can help n hope this thread comes in handy

Strangers on my flight, where can i get a copy???

[vy_storm]

If its on high rotation and the name of the song sounds familiar it might be on triple j's hit list

I knew this thread would come in handy
And I've noticed all the covers minux lol. Will have a look at the 'beautiful girls' version.
And thanks vy_storm, I checked out the triple j hit list but they dont seem to have the songs I'm looking for

[MaN|aC]

I have a program on my pc that can identify songs just by putting a mic next the speaker, but i find it works 50% of the time tho

[MikesVT]

:O I found it i found it!

Was hard enough....

The song is called : Monster Hospital, by Metric.
It uses the lyrics from 'i fought the law', but its actually i fought the WAR'

Its a great song

[crazyspoon05]

I have a lot of useless music trivia, song names, etc in my head, shame I can remember most song titles and artists just by hearing or seeing a few lyrics but tend to forget stuff like friends birthdays, where I left my wallet/car keys / phone, etc though

It does help when DJ'ing though as people will come up and say 'do you have that song that goes doo dee doo doo doo' and expect you to know what they are on about

A handy tip is to type what lyrics you do know into google followed by the word lyrics.. so for example:

we are your friends never be alone again lyrics

And the first result is the song I wanted (Simian - Never Be Alone), though I already had it was just an example.. sometimes there'll be different versions by different artists so just fire up Frostwire and get all of them lol, then delete the ones you didn't want (or if you're like me just use bittorrent to download the entire album for one song)

it also helps to put quote marks around your lyrics i.e

"beautiful girls" lyrics

those quote marks help eliminate a lot of unwanted search results!

The worst songs to find are those dance songs that don't have any music like Alan Braxe & Fred Falke - Intro, or ones that have lyrics that are completely inaudible.. http://www.songtapper.com/ is pretty cool, you tap in the beat but it's only guessed one for me so far out of like five I tried

[fabz]

OK i dont know the lyrics but the song is about a 19 yr guy who fights in the war and is a anzac. Aussie song for sure but stuffed if i can find it.

[crazyspoon05]

Redgum - 'I Was Only Nineteen (A Walk In The Light Green)'

[fabz]

thats the one but i think it was by The herd. could be wrong tho

[MikesVT]

Anyone know that song from the fast and the furious tokyo drift with the whistling? No idea what its called/who sings it/ or any of the lyrics lol hoping someone has the soundtrack or something. Its on when they drive into the car park for the first time.

[crazyspoon05]

Oh, there is the remake of it out by The Herd called Only 19, original was by Redgum in the 80's
