You know what I mean, there's this random song that you hear once in a blue moon, but have no idea who sings it or what the title is to search for. Tonight I finally got "Love Song" by The Cure, and I actually owe it to the Olympics, they played the song before a break and I just happened to have an open browser to google it.

The last two songs I did this with were "Atlanta" by Stone Temple Pilots and "Stereo" by The Watchmen. Don't know if any of you actually know Stereo, but musically it's a great song and lyrically rather interesting.

Oh and the first song I ever did this with was "It's No Good" by depeche mode.

Any of you ever had this experience and if so with what songs?

^ hahaha, best post i've read in a long while

I totally understand, I used to have "Love Song" kind of stuck in my head sometimes, but couldn't figure out what it was. Then in 10th grade I discovered it, and it was definitely the best feeling I've ever had as far as finding a song goes.

ya I dl'd "rock and roll ain't noise pollution" by ac/dc like this. heard it on a nike commercial or something.

wow i cant believe it took a nike commercial for you to first hear that song

2/14/2006 4:11:56 PM

the 311 cover of "love song" is good. no joke.

2/14/2006 4:20:41 PM

i hope to god thats a joke

2/14/2006 4:26:52 PM

i do this occasionally with ads/commercials, but only for really obscure stuff and half the time i find out that the corporation owns the rights to the song and won't allow the artist to release, quite a few songs that i've wanted but couldn't get

2/14/2006 4:30:37 PM

"no joke."

2/14/2006 4:35:41 PM

Thank God you already had an open browser. The time it would have taken to open a new one would have been the difference in you finding the correct song for sure.

i re-listened to that moby song "god moving over the water" or whatever, when i saw the mac commercial with it a while back.

reminded me of better days when moby occasionally put out good music.

I was watching the olympics and they played the instrumental parts of Aerosmith's version of the old Spiderman theme over clips of people slaloming. I still don't get the correlation.

Ohhh...this is so nostalgia inducing. I think that show is why I like fiction with quirky characters now. The Maxx probably helped too.
