Unknown songs/tunes you loved but never again heard
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

Have you tried typing the lyrics into a search engine?

Loads of times in the past, but nowadays I use Shazam on my phone to find out what the song is and then when I go on one of my Macs I listen to it or download it.

I heard a song on the radio a couple of years ago and absolutely loved it but didn't catch who it was by, numerous searches and about 6 months later I discovered it was 'Go' by Delilah and ended up getting the album.
Only heard it on the radio that once though |

There's this one song that has bugged me for literally years. I remember hearing it when I was a kid, it sounded like it was sung by a black woman and she was speaking about walking walking through the rain and thunder to get to her love one. Still bugs me to this day and I don't even know if anything I remember is actually true, does my head in!

I've been looking for years for a song from a film soundtrack. Unfortunately I can't remember the name of the film although I think it was a sleazy British low-budget effort from the late 70s. Something like 'The Stud' but probably not that.
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. |

Heard it online a few years ago, around 2011-ish. The song is from 1996, quite fast and dancey with lush production and piano, the video featured different couples kissing. Made a thread about it today funnily enough

I guess you may have been there, done that. |

Not exactly the same, as I heard this years ago on a cassette my friend's mum had, so I should know the name but just can't remember it and I'd love to track it down.
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. |

Happened to me a lot in the past. One bar I used to go to regularly played a great dance track, it's almost faded in my mind now so that I can't remember anything about it, other than that I loved it.
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. |

I always remember hearing a track when I was a kid in the mid-90s on the radio in the car, and thoroughly enjoying it. I'm sure it must have been Boyz II Men or another group, but I just can never remember how the track went it was that long ago haha.
It's funny that I don't remember the song at all just that I liked it

Yes, it was a rap song. The chorus had a very high pitched voice singing it. The only lyrics I remember were a guy rapping about how he used to reminisce. Heard it in a shop and did everything I could to find it but never could.

I have found most of my "unknown" songs tbh. It's always nice when one finally finds something.
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. |
