What's That One Song Called? - thread for helping fellow kiwis identify songs

[ShittyRecolor]

My dearest fellow Kiwis, I'd like to ask for your help in identifying a song for me. This is one of those fancypants techno\trance\dance\remix thingamajigs that were so popular in europe during the late '90s\early 2000s. I remember it being blasted through the radios a lot around 2000-2001, and while I could never catch the title of it, it's a pretty nostalgic tune for me. The part I remember is this sampled melody played on an instrument that sounded like a very soft sounding clean electric guitar (might've been a lap steel). I've managed to record it with Audacity, but Audiggle seems to be down for maintenance, and Midomi just doesn't want to cooperate, so I'd kindly ask you to use your keen ears and help me out if you recognize this jingle.

It goes something like this as far as I can remember:

Oh, and if any of you guys have similar issues, please feel free to hijack this thread.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Now this song definitely was on the tip of my tongue once I heard what you were playing. The tune comes in half way through the song. Had to jog my memory and think of the big people of that time, and go through the list of them till I tracked it down.

Only one I can think of that you are talking about. Hope that helps.

Thank you so much man, it's so nice to finally know the name of this song! You truly are an American hero!

No problem! That's a tune that I haven't heard in ages but knew I had heard many times before in the past. Some tunes you oddly never forget.

Can I reward you with a free drawing or something? reply or PM me if you have anything in mind.

I don't have a piano handy given it's a bit late in the evening, but I have a song I've been trying to find for ages now and I just can't.

Pre-2000s, post-60s: sorry I'm no good with dates but that's all I can say.
Very fast-paced, has a constant riff on what I think is either a synth or some sort of very mechanical saxophone. There are frequent segments where a brass section plays over the riff.
There are lyrics, but the singing is incredibly fast-paced and deep/breathy.
Near the end of the song (at least in the version I heard) there are the sounds of fast cars passing by.

If nobody can work it out from this, I can wait until I have a way to record the riff.

Unfortunately I have no clue, but here's a list of songs with car engine noises in them. Maybe it can help:

[ES 148]

Found it.

 

[ShittyRecolor]

Found it.

Ah, nice find! Never heard this one before. Sorry I couldn't be of assistance.

 

[Fougaro]

I found this on an old USB drive and I still wasn't able to identify what seems to be a mashup/remix. Can anyone help?

Also sorry for the shit quality since I used a primitive YouTube downloader back in 2009 for this.

I found the second half of it for you:

I found the second half of it for you:

Thanks a lot! If the first one is also from Dave Kurtis I think I might find it too if I invest enough 'tism.

 

[American Lollinator Mace]

If anyone can identify this song for me I will send them a pony.
I heard it sometime in the early 2000s and it was on Q101 before said station started sucking. I can't remember anything about it after this long except for a couple of lines in what I'm pretty sure was the chorus: "I'm guilty...and you're guilty too!"
Go for it, fellow kiwis!

If I could properly make out the lyrics to the first half, I probably could've found that out too.

Is it this?

Hey, that's it! Your pony is in the mail.

And from that, I've found the exact remix:

My dearest fellow Kiwis, once again I ask you to help me identify a song I don't know the name of, this time with a hint of weebery.

I've first heard this song in some DBZ\GT AMV circa 2001, and I belive it was probably the ending them of some late '90s\ early '00s anime series, possibly an OVA The singer had a very mellow tone similar to Arai Akino, whom you might be familiar with through Hiru no Tsuki, the ending theme of Outlaw Star. Unfortunately back then my Japanese was pretty much nonexistent, so I can't rely on searching on it based on lyrics, but I've managed to record what I could remember played on the guitar using Audacity.

Thanks you very much for your time and help in advance!

I feel like I've heard this before and now it's stuck in my head, but I have no idea either... tho...
Actually I'm pretty sure I've heard this song used in like a low-fi/mellow remix somewhere...

It reminds me of this
