anyone ever hear a tune/song on the radio/playing somehwhere etc that they absolutely loved but never got the name of it and never again heard anymore. Happened to me a good few years ago listening to a pirate music station, the most out of this world emotionally gripping dance tune I ever heard came on, d dj never said the name of it afterwards and I never again heard it anywhere, couldn't even search for it on the internet as I didn't know the name of it 
, foolish me should have taped it back then

Only heard it on the radio that once though
Is this the song you mean?

My memory's hazy but there was a scene with I think some exotic dancers in a club and the music they were dancing to was Giorgio Moroder-ish but quite slow tempo. I've spent far too many hours hunting for it.

Sounds cool and my interest is piqued. Can you remember any actor from the film at all? You could consult the IMDB for their filmography. I guess you may have been there, done that.
Similar situation to me, there was this chill out track that was used in various TV programmes such as Sugar Rush, The Real Hustle Las Vegas and even holiday shows. I tried listening to samples of chill out albums but could never find it.
It was on a 60s or 70s compilation cassette. It was a sad song about a white girl and black guy falling in love but it was forbidden. I think the singer was female. Possibly someone died. Not 100% on that though. If anyone had any clue what this might be I'd be grateful.
Oh my god, yes it is! Can't actually believe that haha, Thank you!
A few years ago in a taxi in Tunisia, I heard a very brief part of a catchy song and wrote down what I remembered then looked it up on t'internet later on. I loved the tiny bit I heard so much, that I actually felt anxious that I wouldn't be able to find out what it was! It took ages but I eventually traced it as Lykke Li and 'I Follow Rivers', now one of my favourite tunes.
Haha, no worries. happy to help!
It's funny that I don't remember the song at all just that I liked it
Holy shit, that's a blast from the past! I totally forgot that song existed but I instantly remembered all of it!
How could you tell that?
Sounds like it could be Lonely by Akon?
Actually one has been bugging me for about 12 years. I heard it on R1 on a Saturday night in the early 2000s, so it was probably played by Pete Tong or Judge Jules.
It has the same words as Ice T - Shut Up, Be Happy, but it's a techno/dance tune. I've tried several forums to no avail over the years.
The words are:
We interrupt this program with a special bulletin:
America is now under marshall law.
All constitutional rights have been suspended.
Stay in your homes.
Do not attempt to contact love ones, insurance agent or attorney.
Shut up.
Do not attempt to think or depression may accure.
Stay in your homes.
and so on.
I've probably spent more time trying to find the film than the song. Unfortunately my memory of it is hazy. I think it was one of those trashy 70s British films made on a shoestring budget with not-very-well-known actors that is pretty much forgotten about now. I'm not even too sure about the plot although I have a hunch it was a crime / gangster drama.
Just the way my ears work I guess. Most singers who are black seem to have a distinctive sound and/or soul to their voice.
