grwes Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Okay, this is going to be pretty difficult. I remember a alternative rock song from somewhere between 1994-1998. The problem is that the only portion I know is a melody line that is a chorus of falsetto voices sung like "ooo ooo ooo OOO ooo ooo ooo ooo" followed by a guitar hammer. The melody escalates to that uppercase OOO then it descends. The song is upbeat. I know the song would have had to have been marginally popular, because it was played as bumper music on a few television shows. It sounds quite similar like the "ooo ooo" part at the beginning of "Cut Your Hair" by Pavement. I've searched all through iTunes and around the internet but haven't been able to hit paydirt. I know EXACTLY how the melody line goes and if there was a way to record it and post it I would. I am indebted if anyone figures this out. Again, sorry for making this extremely difficult.

XXX Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 "Song No. 2" by Blur??? Could also be "Boys And Girls" by... Blur as well (I guess they liked hitting that note ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grwes Posted October 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 No, it's not Blur. It's very a poppy-ish sort of rock sound...like Pavement or Better Than Ezra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXX Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 The only other two I can think of are "Tarzan Boy" by Baltimora and some song by Howard Jones (I hate Howard Jones ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earth-Angel Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 I had a listen to that "cut your hair" by Pavement clip, but I can't say it reminds me of anything within the time period you stated :: Blur, like XXX, would've been my next guess. Please tell us if you remember it :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXX Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 It's weird how the poster thinks Better Than Ezra and Pavement have a "Pop" sound I'd say try "Tarzan Boy" since that was featured in the Beverly Hills Ninja soundtrack around the same timeline :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grwes Posted October 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 It's definately not Tarzan Boy. And by "pop" sound, I meant it's not a grunge like sound. I know BtE and Pavement don't really fit into a pop catagory, but they are more upbeat and melodic than most grunge bands in that same era. Thanks for the help so far.

SouldrinK Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 Perhaps shades apart? Try them (they were late 90s though) - but they had other albums before their big hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grwes Posted November 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 try: spacehog- In the meantime YES!!! THAT'S IT!! WOW. I even had a slight suspicion it might be Spacehog, but iTunes didn't have "Resident Alien" to listen through. Thank you so much. I'm so happy I FINALLY know what song this is.

Earth-Angel Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 XXX - very naughty of you! :: Listen to Spacehog pronto! :: I liked them because when they came out they sounded so different to everyone else and that had a sortof scruffy, retro feel to them. Worth checking out, even if it's just for 'in the meantime'. I liked In the meantime, Mungo City, Zeroes and Space is the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
