I don't think she has made an album herself since the 70's...

Hi staggy


I will look into this later - but I simply had to reply to your post right away


On top of my 'To Do'-list (when it comes to this forum ) has (for a long time) been making a thread called "The Funniest Band Names In History," which you have now given me the incentive to do


My two favourite ones (ever since the 80's) have been Gaye Bykers On Acid and... (artistic pause...) Half Man Half Biscuit


Two EMINENT names


So please come this way for a gay time indeed: http://www.aom3.org/forum/f10/funnie...html#post42829 ("The Funniest Band Names In History"-thread)

I'm also wondering if this thread is about music or alligators, but I'll have a shot anyway.

Next to a large list of songs that I have been looking for during years (which I won't annoy you with at this time), I also have some recordings or sound fragments from unidentified instrumental songs. Even though I doubt anyone will recognize them, it would be fun

The first one is a song that's used in the trailer for "March of the Penguins": http://tinyurl.com/6kfes7. It sounds familiar, at first I thought it came from the soundtrack of the movie "The Rock", but that's not it. This fragment is extremely short, if you watch the trailer you can hear a little more of it under Morgan Freeman's voice-over.

The second one may or may not be more difficult. The sample is a crappy recording made with my cell phone during a party. It's a techno song which was popular about 5 years ago, and with popular I mean in Belgium. It's perfectly possible that nobody outside Belgium has ever heard this song. But if you know it, even this crappy recording should be more than enough to recognize it: http://tinyurl.com/5buwjp

And to finish, probably something impossible: this is also a crappy recording (with quite a lot of noise) of a purely instrumental song and despite the fact that I recognize it, I have no idea how old it is, whether it's from a movie or not, and not even what the main instrument is (could be an accordeon). Have fun: http://tinyurl.com/5e5kc2

A colleague of mine has a SonyEricsson cell phone which contains an application called "TrackID". You simply need to record 10 seconds of a song (e.g. during a party) and it will upload this fragment to a server which identifies it. It works amazingly well. I have been looking for a website which offers the same functionality but I have found nothing so far. Even then, I think it would only be able to identify the second fragment.

Wow! And I thought I wanted some obscure stuff. No slight or criticism intended, but it will be light years more difficult to find stuff where you don't know the track, artist or album. You may have better luck looking for alligators (or crocodiles)!

Not familiar with the rest, but I did check that the score to the March of the Penguins is an original composition for the movie (composer: Alex Wurman). Fairly generic kinda tune, I guess. Therefore, may be reminiscent of any number of compositions. The film does have a sountrack, if you are interested.

RedSmurf, forget the aligators. there plenty such sites available, one that come to mind is
-> Hum along, and Midomi recognizes your song VentureBeat <-. this should lead you on.
actually, the same people that invented/developed MP3s (Fraunhofer Institute in germany)
are working since years on such recognizing systems, albeit for the other side too: to recognize
copyright violations on the WWW.

Yes, but the music used in trailers is most often different from the film soundtrack. In many cases, trailers use snippets of soundtracks from other films, because the score/soundtrack of the movie itself isn't ready yet at the time when the trailer is made. There is a website which lists music used in many trailers, but this one isn't in it...

I tried that Midomi thing by directly recording the samples of the second and third song (humming the second song is not really an option), but it produces nothing useful. Apparently their system focuses on songs with vocals, and I doubt if such obscure songs are in their database. Moreover, the quality of the recordings is probably way too bad (the first one is too short, and the others have too much noise and low sampling rate).
