Can anyone please clarify the songs on Stars on 45's TV Themes Medley. I have downloaded it, and I am really curious. The ones I can clarify are: "Layla", "Bette Davis Eyes", "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy", "YMCA", "the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly", "Don't Stop Till You Get Enough", "the Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore", "Star Wars theme", "Kung Fu Fighting", and "All Right Now". Can anyone please help me with the others? Thanks. Rockroll

It has a trance sound and ambient effect. I can not find the artists you requested, but if anyone has more information. It will be appreciated, also if I hear it again, I will remember more lyrics to clarify this time. Thanks. Rockroll

This is a techno song, I do not know the name of it or who did it, but it is a dance tune, and there is a female vocalist who sings in rhythm: "What's a conga? I don't need a conga. What's a conga?". That's the only lyrics I can remember, I know it is not much, but it is not "Conga" by Gloria Estefan. Can anyone please help? Thanks. Rockroll

I'm sorry I made a mistake. The song does not samples Salt N Peppa's "Push It", but if you listen to the first section of the song (not the intro to avoid confusion), you will hear reminisces of "Push It", but thank you so much that is the correct song. Rockroll

I have heard this song about 2-3 times on radio station 89.5 in Seattle, Washington, and the radio deejays never tell the name. The song samples Salt N Peppa's "Push It" for the beginning of the song. I can't remember the lyrics very well, but there is a female singer who says: "my heart .. my heart, my heart, my heart; my love .. my love, my love, my love". I can't be really specific, but does anyone know what song I'm talking about? Please help. Thanks. Rockroll

Yeah, this it. Thanks! I was worried that no one would know what it was. But, thanks for helping.

There was a spoof of Shania Twain's "If You're Not in It for Love - I'm Outta Here" with a male parodying the song. The name was never identified, and I was listening to a radio in a club. So, I could never identify the name of the song. But, can any of you please help me out? Thanks. Brandon8528

There is a cd I found out about on allmusicguide.com, which is named: "Phil Spector soundalikes", and it has the Supremes' "Run Run Run" listed as one of the tracks. Does anyone think that this song does sound like a Phil Spector song in particular? I have always thought that it was like the Chiffons' "Sweet Talking Guy" with the lyrics and vocals, but I thought before that that "Nothing But Heartaches" by the Supremes was also like "Sweet Talking Guy." There is a lyric in particular in "Nothing But Heartaches", of which when I first heard it, it automatically made me be confused with "Sweet Talking Guy": "But the more and more I care, The more of him other girls share" So, I am very confused. I did read that the Chiffons' "Sweet Talking Guy" was Motown influenced, and it was obviously inspired by "Nothing But Heartaches" or "Run Run Run". But, which Supremes song is it? Can anyone please clarify? Thank you. Brandon8528

It is not any of these songs. I heard the song around 1994-1997. But, thanks for helping. Brandon8528

Okay, this is what confusing me. There is a login regarding the messageboards and there is a login regarding making comments/facts about the songs and artists. Here is my question: I have been logged in ever since yesterday, not on the messageboards, but on the song/group comments and facts. How do I logout? Thanks. Brandon8528

Sorry, I did not get back to you guys soon enough. I had a little difficulty trying to download a version of the Boyz II Men's song: "A Song For Mama", to find out whether or not it was the song, but I found out that this was not the song. I listened to the song, and I remember that the vocalist who did the song I was talking about, had a deeper voice. And, there was just one person singing, not multiple vocals. And I do recall a lyric in the song saying: "Mama, I miss you." Brandon8528

I am a big fan of both groups and know that both groups had a big impact on music history as well as people. Although, the Stones had much more sex and drug music, the Beatles' music were much more developed and original. I do not think people should be dissing the Beatles, because of their personality. They were different! Big freaking deal, we are all unique. Have any reason to dis the Beatles do it on account of their music, but not their personalities. That is all I've got to say. Brandon8528

I used to listen to 93.3 KUBE (WA) a lot, and I heard this song that I recorded (the tape is wore out, so I can't hear it to recap), that I thought was very beautiful, and I cried to it. This was around say '94-'96. It was by a male musician and he sounded like groups, such as Boyz II Men, but it could be them, I don't know. Anyway, this guy is talking about his mother who has passed, and he says something like "Mamma ... I miss you." That's all I can remember, but what in the hey was the name to this song? Thanks. Brandon8528

Thanks for your answer. But, I guess when I read this thread I was not specific as I thought I was. Okay. Both groups had recorded: "Somebody to Love", which are 2 different songs. But, the question is: would "Somebody to Love" (The Jefferson Airplane version) be something Queen would do, and vice versa, would the Queen version be something the Jefferson Airplane would do (imagine "Bohemian Rhapsody")? And, think music and structure terms. So, I hope this is more clear. Brandon8528

Oaky, guys. Here is what I meant: Both groups had a song: "Somebody to Love". When I was pairing the groups up, I turned on the DMX and then I first saw and heard Queen's "Somebody to Love". No, sorry, I saw the song on one of their cds, so that is when I thought it was the same song, but it was not. Anyway, the question I am asking is this: In music terms, would "Somebody to Love" be something Queen would do? So, once again, if people do not even know what I mean-what I am trying to ask is this: "MUSICALLY" would "Somebody to Love" be something Queen would do? Simple as that. Hope that helps. Brandon8528

A few years back, when I was "discovering" the Oldies. I was hooking some groups up (i.e. "Temptations and Supremes", "Jerry Butler and Betty Everett", etc.), this was 1 or 2 years later, but anyway, I was listening to DMX, and I needed a pairing with the Jefferson Airplane, and luckily, I turned on the DMX and there was a song: "Somebody to Love" by Queen. And, I first thought this was the same song, but it was not. However, I still think that Queen would have rocked if they had done the original "Somebody to Love". Do any of you guys have any input about this? Brandon8528

Well, every song at least has one influence, except if they are off-the-wall goofoffs like "The Ballad of the Green Beret" or "They're Coming to Take me Away", but here is an interesting. My mother and I were driving someplace and we were listening to Oldies and we turned on the station and we heard songs, and one was Jay and the Techniques' "Apples, Peaches and Pumpkin Pie", and we listened to the bridge and it sounded a lot like Bruce Springsteen's "Pink Cadilliac", which came out much later. There is another song. I do not know which cd this is, even though I am thinking of finding out. But, as we listened to the cd, the first two songs were the Hollies' "Bus Stop" and "I Can't Let Go", and we heard another song on that same cd, and it had a reminisced sound of the Ronettes' "Be My Baby", I do not know which song this is. But, I know it was copied. Brandon8528 P.S. I still love "Pink Cadilliac" a lot!

Ha. I bet that no one here knew that in Les Baxter's version of "Unchained Melody", there are lyrics which say: "unchain me, unchain me." This is supposedly where the name: "Unchained Melody" came about: "UNCHAINed MElody". Just wanted to let you guys know. Brandon8528

Any ideas? Do you guys like these song ideas? Do you guys have any new ones? I would really appreciate it. Thanks. Brandon8528

I heard Howlin' Wolf's "Smokestack Lightning" and it sounds like John Fogerty borrowed the melody from that song. Especially in "Susie Q" and "Run through the Jungle". But, does anyone what song Fogerty took the melody from "Smokestack Lightning" from? Thanks. Brandon8528

I was wondering if you guys will help me with this. Which couples do you like better? The Tremeloes (Here Comes My Baby, Silence is Golden) and the Shangri-Las (Leader of the Pack) "or" American Breed (Bend Me Shape Me) and the Shangri-Las "or" Detergents (Leader of the Laundromat, I Can Never Eat Home Anymore) and Shangri-Las? The Beatles and the Jefferson Airplane "or" The Beatles and Chiffons (He's So Fine, My Sweet Lord, Sweet Talking Guy) "or" The Beatles and Gigi Parker and the Lonelies "Beatles - Please Come Back" "or" the Beatles and Beatlettes or Bootles (both of the latter female groups did answer songs to "I Want to Hold your Hand")? The Beatles and the Chiffons "or" The Rascals (Good Loving, I've Been Lonely Too Long) and the Chiffons? And ... finally. The Four Seasons and the Crystals (Da Doo Run Run, Then He Kissed Me) "or" Jay and the Americans (Let's Lock the Door, Come A Little Bit Closer) and the Crystals "or" Dave Clark Five and the Crystals? Or pair the Crystals, Chiffons, Shangri-Las, and Beatles, with anyone else you wish, as long as you have reason to. Thanks. Brandon8528

Oh, I knew I forgot something. Okay, here are the original songs that the spoof *choices* are going to be spoofed on: 1. "I Fought the Law and the Law Won" (Bobby Fuller 4) 2. "Atomic Dog" (George Clinton) 3. "It's In His Kiss: The Shoop Shoop Song" (Betty Everett) 4. "Kicks" (Paul Revere and the Raiders) 5. "Cat in the Cradle" (Elton John) 6. "Somebody to Love" (Jefferson Airplane) Sorry, I thought I already did that. Geez, why didn't anyone tell me I was missing this? Brandon8528

I am thinking of new songs ideas, and I was wondering, how do you guys feel about these spoofs? Rule: Each of the following are a list of spoofs of one song, and the thing is to state your choice of the listed spoof options or list a new one if you like, but after one single song is chosen for being a spoof of the original song, I am going to go with that spoof option. Here are the songs and the choices: 1) "I Sought Them Raw", "I Sawed Them Raw" 2) "Minuscule Cat", "Minute Cat" 3) "It's In My Kiss", "It's In His Miss" 4) "Kids", "Tricks", "Bricks", "Sticks", "Ticks" 5) "Dog in the Cellar", "Dog in the Crypt", "Dog in the Casket", "Dog in the Chamber", "Dog in the Ladle" 6) "Someone to Shove", "Someone to Leave" What do you guys think? Brandon8528

Actually, folks. (To whoever views this). I was wrong about the Blood, Sweat and Tears/Chicago lawsuit. However, I was informed by my teacher that the guy said that there is a Green Day song which copied the riff of Chicago's "25 or 6 to 4". Sorry about the confusion folks. Brandon8528 P.S. Does anyone know what Green Day song I'm talking about?

Does anyone here know the song, "Scrooge", from: "The Ventures' Christmas Album." I can't figure out what song it is modeled after (i.e. "Walk Don't Run" and "Sleigh Ride", "I Feel Fine" and "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer"). But, I do know however that it sounds like something from "The Ventures in Space" and "The Ventures Play the Batman Theme". But, I don't know which song in particular. Does anyone here know? Please help, thanks, Brandon8528
