Its been driving me crazy, hoping someone out there can help me?
many thanks
Bit of a long shot but could possibly be Sneaker Pimps - Spin Spin Sugar?

Sneaker Pimps - Spin Spin Sugar - YouTube

(I think that was around 97 though and I guess the video doesn't really match your description, sorry)

Do you have anything more to go on? Can you remember any of the lyrics or the tune?

Hi,
I'm trying to remember a song that came out within 2000- 2009 though. Its by a band and the main person is a guy. I'm pretty sure the other members are guys as well. Its not a big band or anything. In the film clip the main guy is walking down a red carpet singing in like a massive room which I don't think has very much stuff in it. and at one point he walks past a guy on a ladder. He might also go outside although I am not sure about that. It is by a popular band and it was a popular song. I'm pretty sure the song has not got like useless lyrics but has like meaning to it or something. Possibly a sad song but with like a catchy tune. not a slow melody.
I will appreciate it so much if anybody knows what song i'm talking about!

This has been bugging me for a couple of years, tried searching on YouTube and all sorts but can't find it:

Its a commerical house music track with I think male vocals. In the video a young guy, a teenager I guess, with shaved head and wearing a grey sweater, starts by buying or hiring a car, then picks up his two friends, one girl and one other guy, similar age, and through the rest of the video they're on a sort of blissed out road trip. At one point they're in a country bar and I think the girl is shown singing karaoke. I also remember they stop at a motel and all end up in the shower together - the nature of their relationships are quite ambiguous; it isn't clear who is with who. Towards the end the car breaks down and they just pile out into the high corn or grass in the adjacent field.

If anyone knows that song and can put me put of my misery I'd be so grateful! Thanks.

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 (( )
Possibly The Unforgiven by Metallica? Here

Can anybody help me to find this song?

It's a country song, by benning of the last decade (probably around the year 2000). The video begins with band playing dressed as cowboys. The video is set in the old west. There where some middle aged prostitutes, wearing some shiny outfits tha looked like swinsuits.

It was a kind a soft country song.

That's everything i can recall off.

Thanx in advance!

Singing to a mic
Put down a black box
And sing some more yeah!

KINDLY SUGGEST ANY VIDEO MUSICS THAT FIT THE ABOVE DESCRIPTION. ITS BEEN A LONG TIME I'M LOOKING FOR IT. I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE SONG.PLS!

Can any body help me? I've been looking for a music video. It's from a song that's only a couple of years old (was played a bit last year). It was being played on radio in Australia for a while but I'm pretty sure that the Singer and/or Band are fairly obscure.

The music video shows a young (early twenties at a guess), plain looking white, skinny man walking down a footpath of a street. People are doing various random things but as he continues down the street, he walks by more and more people. The scene takes more of a party scene as he goes along (Balloons are released into the air at one stage for instance).

The song was simple. No big instrument pieces, not a full on dance song, or overly loud, but the subject matter of the song I seem to remember was bright / optimistic.
The lyrics were very clever, as well. Problem is I cant remember any of them at all (otherwise I wouldn't need to ask now, would I? LOL)

I know this description isn't much to go on, but any help would be appreciated. Thanks

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

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!!
Sounds like T.a.t.U, but I can't find a medieval themed video.

Hi! i joined the forum because i am hoping i can get help in finding a song. im sorry for being too vague, but this is all i can remember. the video goes like this:

a group of friends (boys and girls in their early 20s) went clubbing and then went swimming in a lake the next morning....
the song was light, not loud. i would describe it as a "club" song. the vocalist was a girl. i think it was released in early 2000s or late 90s.

Thanks!

hey, i need help with two songs, i got the videos when i got my mp3 a couple years ago, and they were somehow deleted at some point in time. I cannot think of the names or the artists, or any of the lyrics but i have a pretty good memory of the videos.
the first starts out as a younger girl about teens on her computer looking up the band, everything is modernistic and white, i think she is wearing stripes, im not too sure, anyway when she clicks a link an interview comes up and they talk about the band, and that they remember it, and so on so forth. when the music starts its man playing guitar and a woman singing, it shows when they were younger, and then towards the end they are driving in a convertable, red i believe, and stop on a cliff/mountain not sure, but she is in sheer/see through black dress dancing (and singing i think) and hes leaning on the car playing guitar

the next video is a band that starts on a spaceship, and untill the end stays there, its more of a rock like song and has a bright sun in the background so half the time its hard to see their faces, at one point the band goes into slow motion. in the end of the song he is walking on land (not earth but another planet because of the two suns in the background) and i think is saying something about "if he walks...." and he is walking its kind of like a ledge of land with some trees or bushes i think.

If you know or can link the videos, names of the song, or artists please please let me know its been bugging me i cannot remember! they were good songs! thank you so much for helping

Trying to find song with girl roller skating

Hi all, new here so forgive me if this is already answered but please HELP!!!
I am trying to remember a track which I think was from the 80s or so, disco, the video featured a girl roller skating on her own wearing purple lycra/satin pants. I thought it was a Donna Summer track but I can't find any reference to it under her name. It's driving me crazy. Sounds similar to previous post but in mine she is not singing, just dancing. Any suggestions welcomed. TIA

Another video request

Here's another one

I think this one was from 2008-2010, but I'm not sure. Probably of the pop/alternative adult/VH1 genre. There was a man singing as he was floating in the ocean. I seem to remember him wearing a yellow jacket or life vest of some sort. I think it was raining, too. Also, I think a ship was periodically shown, presumably looking for him.
I really appreciate any help you can offer. This has been bothering me for quite awhile, and I can't find any clues!
