OK this is driving me nuts. I've spent ages scouring the net. The music video for this song was in the style of anime, there were at least four characters, and at the end they all starting flying up towards this comet to collide with it...any ideas?

Was it a dancy song? Could be Daft Punk's "One More Time" video.

Posted by Bobby Henderson (Member # 840) on 12-20-2008, 10:42 PM:

Just a guess, a music video from Daft Punk?

A few other music acts have had videos featuring anime. It would be easier to search for such videos if it weren't for so many freaking kiddies and geeks out there setting their favorite CD tunes against Dragonball Z footage and posting that stuff up to YouTube.

Edit: dammit, I was writing my post when Allison posted her response.

Haha I beat you, Bobby [Razz]

Sally, if it's not One More Time, there's about 5 other Daft Punk songs with anime to it. Check those too.

Nope it definitely wasn't Daft Punk!!
This is going to keep me up all bloody night.

Posted by Joe Redifer (Member # 3) on 12-20-2008, 11:47 PM:

Yeah, why would anyone listen to Daft Punk?

How did you hear this song and why are you thinking about it??

Posted by Kurt Zupin (Member # 2751) on 12-20-2008, 11:56 PM:

is it the Gorillaz(spelling? lol)? They do all their videos in an animated form.

JR, I've been thinking about it as I'm loading some new 'choons' onto my MP3 player and remembered this song and now it's my mission. Sad but true. I have to have it! The four characters, at the end, slowly start levitating and head up into space. I saw the video earlier this year while I was at the gym...will keep looking....

Do you know any words to it?, or a little bit more info male or female song? if its female it could be britney spears

Posted by Scott D. Neff (Member # 185) on 12-23-2008, 12:01 PM:

Whatever it is, I just want to know the answer when you figure it out.

Posted by Mark Lensenmayer (Member # 134) on 12-23-2008, 01:36 PM:

If you can think of any of the words, even just one line, you can type it into GOOGLE and it will probably find the lyrics to the song. I've used this many times when I don't know the name of a song.

Posted by Sally Ann Burgess (Member # 4746) on 12-25-2008, 04:06 AM:

I don't remember any words, unfortunately!! I've typed in every combination of words into Google, and YouTube too. I don't think there were ANY words, just a tune.

Sally, you may be thinking about, "Oh! Holy Night". [Smile]

I showed this thread to my brother. Though other posts indicate the song isn't a Daft Punk song, he thinks it's from the movie Interstella 5555 which features songs from the Daft Punk album "Discovery"

Sorry to hijack Sally's thread, but I don't think what I have here is enough to start a dedicated thread. [Smile]

Here's another unknown song for the experts, at this particular time of the year...

It's a Christmas parody song that I've always loved, but could never find. I heard it on the radio last night, but they didn't backsell it. It's an Elvis impersonator talking about the holiday spirit. The background sound effects are indicating everyone sitting at a Christmas dinner table. As the food is being passed around, "Elvis" keeps stopping his speech to grab some of the food from the trays, which causes him to say things like, "Remember, this time of the year, everyone should reach out and offer their fellow man a helping han... a hand... a helping.... uhhhh, hand me a helpin' of those mashed potatoes, will ya?"

I *thought* it was called, "Christmas with the King" but I can't find anything under that title. Doctor Demento may have featured it, too, but again, I haven't been able to locate it in searches.

Anyone know?

Anyone know the name of the music that was in the teaser for "Benjamin Button?" I thought it was from "Edward Scissorhands" at first but it's not. I think it's from some movie though...it's driving me nuts.

Posted by Joe Tommassello (Member # 4632) on 12-26-2008, 10:44 AM:

Mike:

It definitely sounds like a Danny Elfman score. Sounds like something that would have fit well into "Batman Returns". I will research that a little, but perhaps it's the actual score from "...Button" and is (extremely) reminicent of the Elfman material.

It's the movement called "Aquarium" from "The Carnival of Animals" from some internet looking.

According to Wikipedia, it was used in "The Godfather Part II" and the 2006 version of "Charlotte's Web" before this film.

Anslem, that's it!!! [rofl]

Wow, what service! Thanks, guy, I've been looking for that for a L O N G time!

I have the album "Twisted Christmas" by the Bob Rivers comedy group. The Elvis track is on this record. I think the album closes with it. Anyway, I recommend the album highly. Very funny.

Thanks...I knew someone on here would know it. It really works well in that Button teaser.

I mentioned this video to the guys at work and they got it straight away!
It was 'Skankenstein' by Kora...
