Subject: SONG ID - MP3 SAMPLE
Hello All.
I came across this clip of a song a while ago and I have been working on trying to find anyone who could ID it...
So far no luck.
It was sampled off of a DJ station in New York back in the mid 80s. We dont know weather it was played forwards or backwards or anything.
The clip is short.
I am still trying to get a longer clip from this guy...

forward - it sounds like an intro
backward - is sounds like an interlude or prelude to a solo
Good luck and thanks to everyone that tried. Someone with a large 80s collection shouldnt have much trouble :)
If you cant ID it, then PLEASE list the artists you think that could have done it.
-THANKS

That sounds so familiar.. yet I can't figure who does (or sounds like them). Could you get a longer version up? Maybe with a partial lyric or something?
I'm passing a copy of it to a friend of mine who likes to play his own version of "Name That Tune" .. i'll see if he can identify it.
By the way, that tune sounds pretty good. I'd like to hear more!
Subject: Re: SONG ID - MP3 SAMPLE
Yes, Id like to hear more, but I am having a lot of trouble getting in touch with the original owner of the clip.
I do have a song sugesstion from a friend of mine:
Numbers With Wings by the Bongos
I am looking this up as of yet...its just a suggestion.
The most logical one I've heard. Also, I have emailed this clip to over 165 people as of today. Another suggestion I recieved was even as obviosly wong as Everybody wants to rule the world by Tears for Fears.....
Thats got to be one of the coolest intros i've ever heard, I hope the rest of the song (and the mystery artist) is just as decent :).

I've got that song, it's on Richard Blade's Flashback Favorites Vol. 3... the first part of the clip has clearly been played backwards, but the rest of it sounds right, sounds like the bit right before the singing..

sounds like.....
"Living On A Prayer" (Bon Jovi)

The last 2 notes clenched it for me: Sounds like a re-mix of "Venus" by Banarama.
Subject: Re: SONG ID - MP3 SAMPLE
It's definitely "Number With Wings" by The Bongos. I have that CD and broke it out to confirm.

Awright! If I could, I would e-mail you an ice cold Canadian beer! :D
Subject: Re: SONG ID - MP3 SAMPLE
I dont mean to offend your CD/listening skills - honest. But I was wondering, is this really the song? I heard from a friend of mine who said that Numbers With Wings didnt have that kind of keyboards in it.
If that reply was meant to me, then thanks you very much Secret Squirrel ;D

Any new ideas?
Subject: Re: SONG ID - MP3 SAMPLE
I listened but didn't recognise it sorry. Good luck though!
Subject: Re: SONG ID - MP3 SAMPLE
It sounds like a remix of Spandau Ballet's 'Communication'.
