The stick is the most important thing. He dances with his stick with like 4 others girls and he walks slowly.. at the end again fireworks (but more like when something is broken, not fireworks with colors, its white)

Its electro-pop, the guy has around 30 maybe more, its a good beat at the start...

Thanks in advance !
I was going to suggest Black & Gold by Sam Sparro, but I'm not sure....

help?

hi, just joined this site so that i could find one song.

i know its a rock song, but it is hard to describe. the lead singer (im pretty sure he was a ginger) keeps pressing this button thing, and every time he does he transports to a different time and place, and it seems he even becomes a different person. like, im sure at one point he is a cop. thats about all i remember about it. any help would be great!

I think i am supposed to ask her I am trying to find a music video that in the beginning a man is watching the news on television and a man is saying that America has officially gone into the cosmos. then he turns the television off and walks outside at what looks like an apartment to see a guy that looks like Xzibit then later he walks down a street to see an old man sitting in a chair the old man sees another guy with his head completely covered in smoke the old man puts it out with a fan and helps some other people. then towards the end i thinks it a black guy escapes a prison bus bus and takes an escalator to heaven then other people follow the prisoner on the escalator

Cant remember the music genre at all.

Read through everyone elses video descriptions and im unable to help sorry
This is just a guessing but maybe that's Chemical Brothers ... The song name is: "The Test" or just "Test". I hope that is the one

First hello everyone and Merry Christmas!

I am new here and I need help

The video that I am looking for is some kind or remix of "Rapture" song from Blondie. But electro/house version. AND IT'S NOT ILO OR NADJA ALLI!!

So pls read this carefully There is a girl in video in some kind of blue suit that looks more like uniform.Its night time. She is tall and blond with straight, silky hair and no make-up (as I recall). In video she is singing the "Rapture" lyric and she is walking trou the town, caring vinyl record when she gets suraunded by some roller skater teenagers who manage to take a record from her. She goes after them singing all along and meeting people who are on some kind of street party in some ally where ppl are dancing and there is couple of car's and DJ booth. They are all dancing, and I remember clearly that some guy is on a car hub kneeling on it and in one moment there is a bell sound (like guitar part in original "Rapture" song) culminating in song, and in that precise moment he is taking his T-shirt off and start spinning her around his head. In the end of the video she is aproching to DJ, taking her record(and Dj is letting her do that raising his hend in the air like "It wasn't me") and smiling a little to him and walks away while sound is starting to slowly fade away as well as pic...

Pls If anybody knows this video, please post it, U are my last hope!

Tnx to everyone who finds time to answer me I wish U all great New Year! Cheers!!!

Question I have 2 for you.

I'm a newbie here so I'll try my best.

The first video I saw once at least 6 years ago, it has scary looking bald man in black screaming at people whose clothes ruffle in his scream. The video finishes with the man coming across a young girl with dark hair and I think pigtails who shush's the man who smiles back. Sorry it's vague but I has been a while.

The second video is even more vague because I only saw the last 5 or so seconds of it. I think it's a female pop group singing, and at the end of the video, and man is lying on the floor (outside I think) and watches his top dissolve.

Hello
I registerd just so I can ask you guys about this vid. It`s been driving me crazy:

It`s from the late `90`s/ early `00s. Music- wise its some techno stuff (reminds me of prodigy, though at the same time makes me think of stardusts "music sounds better with you" cause of the distorted voice)
The story takes place in a city. A young guy finds a small sphere. He picks it up and it gives him some cosmic powers. It transforms him so that he has some kind of armour (sorta like iron man) but this one`s silver plus you can see the guys face ( I think his skin has silver body paint and I`m not sure but I think after the transformation he had red hair). Not sure but I think the sphere is somehow incorporated into his chest (?) So the dude is like "whoa, *** happened" and after a while some cosmic looking girls start chasing him. Some chasing/some running/some dancing. I think at the end the guy switches back to normal to lose the heat and the girls just run past by him.
The music was kinda trance-like, quite simple tune, basically just one big loop. It also had some words but they were illegible. From what I remembered it was something like "Zzz-xx-Zagalusha-p-pom-d-Day". (Told ya it was illegible :D:D) Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers, good people.

Help please!

The song is a techno dance track of sorts. It begins with a child dropping a doll in the snow. The doll is recovered by a mad scientist who experiments on it Frankenstein style! Moreover there are captive women,who seem more machine than human and pull off some good robot moves in the video. Everything happens inside a castle! The video must have released in 2007 probably

Look for video with man in crypt

Please help! Anyone knows name of song and band who made videoclip where was a man busted in a crypt or cell or something like that and all his life from childhood (if I remember well) to senior age he was trying to dig out, at the end of song he finally made a square hole - tunnel and got out to sunlight??? The cell was of stone and maybe some plant were growing there. I think the man was first also counting his days there by carving commas to the wall. The man had no shirt, I think he had just underpants when he got out.
I saw it several time when I was child. I´ve been looking for it so long, but I can´t find this video on youtube because I don´t know the title ( Can anyone help me please?? It was a rock song I think from 80s or 90s. It was from some well known band (I thought Metallica or some from that era but without the song´s name it is very hard to find the video (( )

The song is an upbeat summer pop song (female singer). Sorry to be vague but THANKS for the help !!

British Music Video Driving Me Crazy!!

So...I have been looking for this video for the past, probably 6 years. And no one has been able to find it. So this is my last attempt to see if anyone knows what video I am talking about. Otherwise, I am simply going to admit to myself that it never existed.

Ok. Here we go.

All I know about the video. It's about these two girls. From what I can tell they tried to make it into a British themed music video, with a castle, the long green lawn in front of the castle and the main girl is, of course, dressed in British style clothing. The main girl is constantly moving in the video because she is on her way to the castle where the other girl is taking a bath in an old clawfoot bathtub. Let's just say this video suggests that the main girl is trying to get with the girl in the tub. But from what I remember, nothing happens more than her just simply going to the castle to meet her. Another thing is, I think at some point in the video there is a white horse that she is riding on her way to the castle. Unfortunately I didn't even catch a title or anything, but I know it was sung by two girls. As in Leia and Alice, or Tegan and Sara but it wasn't either of them, just an example. I believe one of the girls was a brunette and the other was a blond.

This may be the worst description I could give but it is seriously ALL I can remember. If anyone can please help me, and put an end to my suffering, I would greatly appreciate it!!

Should have known AVF would have the perfect thread for this. My wife is a teacher and next term has some music lessons planned, she is especially interested in foreign language songs and got a little stuck on Spanish. Now, I can remember and old song (possibly 90's) sung by a female, no matter where I search or what I type into google, I can find nothing although I can remember some aspects of the music video, hope someone can remember a name from this.

The video shows a young girl (10/11) working in her fathers beach side bar. She spots a similar aged guy in the bar and eventually joins him and they dance, the father spots this and confronts her with a backhand.

Could be Brazilian or Spanish, not entirely sure. Hope someone will know the song I mean with only my crap description to go on.

Thanks

Funny because I've never seen the video for this song but I recognised it from the "Zzz-xx-Zagalusha-p-pom-d-Day"
