I was in a noisy public space where music was being played over speakers. A song that sounded like Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit began to play, but from what I could hear, the lyrics were not the regular lyrics to the song. Unfortunately, it was too noisy to make out what exactly the lyrics were. I'm not sure if the song was performed by Nirvana or someone else, but the singer was definitely trying to imitate Kurt Cobain, even if it wasn't actually him. I've been googling "alternate versions of Smells Like Teen Spirit" but I haven't been able to figure out exactly what it was lol. Help appreciated!

Got no more details.

SOLVED----- bruises !!!

genre is pop kind of broadway ish vibes
it's not little talks or need you now but similar vibes
THANK YOU!

Hello everyone, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but this sub was quite helpful last time so I thought that I'd try again.

As the title suggests, I'm looking for a specific bird, but I can't remember the name of it. I don't remember where I discovered this bird, but I think it was mentioned in a story I was reading online. The only problem is that I don't remember what story it was. I've tried going through my search history, but I can't find it.

The bird was a North American bird and was extremely colourful. It reminded me of the lilac breasted roller. It had a shiny neck/chest that was purple. I remember it having colour all over its body. It is not a grackle, wood duck, painted bunting, or green or blue jay. Please help me find this bird.

Tldr; looking for a very colourful north american bird

I’m trying to find a story cassette I had as a kid in the early 2000s. It was a single tape (not a series), and I don’t remember a book coming with it. It wasn’t from a library.

What I remember:

• It was a produced story with what sounded like a bunch of voice actors, and it had music
• A steam train was central to the story, and I think there was a runaway train and some villains
• It felt like the American West, but more modern than classic cowboy times
• I think one of the main characters was a boy, and I believe he was the hero
• It had a happy ending

What I’ve already ruled out: Thomas the Tank Engine, The Railway Children, The Boxcar Children audiobooks, the 1985 film Runaway Train, and Odds Bodkin’s The Banshee Train (it wasn’t a ghost story). As a kid I also loved Odds Bodkin’s Little Proto tapes, so it may have been a similar kind of storytelling tape, possibly one performer doing all the voices, which could be why I remember “a cast.”

Any ideas, or even just guesses about what kind of release this might have been, would be hugely appreciated!

I remember playing this game as a very young kid, around maybe 2012-2014 it could’ve been. the game was well-drawn (can’t remember if it was hand-drawn style or not) and it had a couple anthropomorphic animals around the area, each with their own “task” you had to do. I remember one of the tasks was with the bear-? and you had to melt the ice on this lake, another one was either collecting or scaring off fireflies. I remember at the end, you could make popsicles? it took place during the winter, i’m pretty sure it was supposed to be a mock or how animals get through the winter. like I said it had a very indie vibe down to the music and artstyle.

I remember back in 1988, a friend gave me a copied cassette and both sides were filled with mostly Ital Disco songs from that era. For example, one of the songs I clearly remember was Love Spy by Mike Mareen but the cassette was not labelled so I have no Idea. 

I remember a DJ talking to people in a club called The Pig & Whistle. The music was really loud and I could not make out whether the DJ had a British or American accent. 
Sometime during the early 90s, my car was broken into and my entire collection of cassettes were stolen.

This is going to be difficult to articulate but I'll try my best..... One of these songs was a sort of Instrumental Synth Trance type song (mostly synthesizer) and had a very calming but enigmatic feel to it. Not sad or overly happy yet slightly upbeat. When it haunts me it is like the melody is struggling to break the surface and it is so frustrating - I have tried to think where I was physically and mentally at the time for this song to haunt me but honestly, it is a mystery.

It has been almost 40 years and I have heard a few songs that remind me strongly of that song but not the song I'm looking for.

Below I will add a few links and I hope I am not infringing on copyrights - these links are merely songs that remind me of that melody.

1. The first link is from a YouTuber who composed music for his own tribute to the Airwolf TV show of the 80s. In the link below, the music starts at 3 minutes and the feel of this is very similar to the song I am looking for (but not quite)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55VuB724n6Y&t=222s

1. The next song is by Tony Ann (Pulse). While this is a bit faster, the chord progression from 11 second to 22 seconds reminds me more of that song.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m08E_Kzob_A

1. Lastly, the first 10 seconds of Enya's Lothlorien, reminds me of that song's melody too.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6aHtdoXPiw

That is all I have and I hope somebody in this beautiful world can end this mystery for me PLEASE!!!!!

Hi everyone! My husband and I heard a cover of “The Twelve Days of Christmas” last year on the radio but we haven’t been able to find that cover since. It was being played on SiriusXM on one of the Christmas channels. We believe it was an older song (not sure what year) and we believe that each line or day was sung by different singers (men and women). What is so different about the song is when it comes to the fifth day, “Five Golden Rings” the R in rings is rolled. So it sounds like “Five Golden Rrrrrings”. We haven’t had any luck so if anyone can help us that would be great. Thank you!

I remember watching something where two guys are planning to rob someone (I think?) and part of the scam is one of the guys will say that he called the cops and that the cops are on the way, to give them time to escape. One of the guys points out that there will be an issue when no cops arrive, but they go forward with the plan anyway. I remember when they actually do the scheme, someone in the crowd says "It's OK, that guy is calling the cops." Did I dream this?

There was a book I read in 2020-21 that is very stark in my memory but I cannot remember the title of. It's sci-fi dystopia, high-school level young adult novel. The main character is a teenage boy living in a society where everyone has a chip in their head that constantly shows them things in their vision, mainly advertisements. The natural world is gradually deteriorating throughout the story, to the point where all the characters lose their hair from just how toxic the air is.

The main sticking point I remember is that the main character fell in love with a girl who had an older model of the chip, workshopped by her outcast father. She would make it a habit to go into stores, ask a bunch of questions, and leave without buying anything. There's a scene where she does this with the boy. Turns out, the chip is malfunctioning and making the girl very sick. At the end of the book, she ends up on the verge of death, and her father and the boy are begging emergency personnel over the phone to help her. The person on the other line tells them that the girl is not a reliable consumer, and thus she will not be saved. The girl dies, and the book ends shortly after.

I am dying to find this book again, especially given how important it is not even five years after I've read it. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

i only remember a single scene, but i remember enjoying the film.
i think i saw it within the last 5/10 years or so.
it was in english.
i think it was set in modern day, but the more i try to drill down into the memory, the more i doubt myself here.
the scene in question is a priest, who's in a prison, possibly to give the last rites to someone, being hoisted into the air by his own crucifix, it either strangles him or is pulled tight enough to pop his head off.

i'm also remembering that this was done to prove the demonic forces to someone who was there as well, but skeptical.
i think the demon was posessing a prisoner on death row, but i can't be sure of that.

i can't remember anything else, but for a while i was sure it was nefarious, which i now know it wasnt.

Edited to say, I'm sure it was made within the last 10 years and, now that I think, it may not have been a priest, just an extremely religious person (though that I can't be sure, as I'm sure they were there to deliver last rites before execution)

edited to say - it's definitely not nefarious, which was more of a "is the demon real or not" definitely not late night with the devil.

i'm also sure it didn't have any "big name" actors in, so i don't think it was the rite with anthony hopkins, definitely not any of the conjuring films, or insidious, or the like. i'm sure it was a one off (not part of a series)

levitating the priest by his own crucifix was seen as some kind of poetic irony, his faith couldn't save him kind of thing. there was definitely a skeptical person with the priest at the time, which is why the demon did this.

the corridor was quite high, like a 2 story row of cells. it needed to be because the priest goes quite high up in the air. so more of a cell block area than a connecting corridor, if that makes sense.

the more i think on it, the more i wonder whether it could've been part of a series, rather than a film, but the only series that comes kind of close is "Evil" which i'm pretty sure i saw this before it came out.

of course, i could've dreamt it, but i'm sure it was a real film! lol.

I saw it around 5 years ago, maybe later than that, if that gives a good time frame. It used Mario music (mostly Mario 3), and the map changed to the beat kinda like a slideshow (maybe there was a bit of animation). It had UI emulating an nes game that showed the current flag, as well as the "level" they were on. There was one for Kazakhstan, and that's a pretty obscure country, so that might help you. The art looked somewhat professional too. If you find it, thanks for helping me out! If you don't, but still help with the search, thanks for helping me out as well!

A couple in a flat are terrified that hitmen are coming to kill them. Two Scottish men turn up claiming to be from a church, and the couple drug them, then realise their mistake and end up babysitting them through their drug trips. It turns out the two men are armed, and when the real killers arrive, the visitors kill them. British, probably made 2000–2015, likely a dark comedy.

I remember seeing this photo a few times in those 1-10 looks memes in 2021. He was usually number 8.

Description:

-muscular

-white

-mid 20s

-extremely pronounced lantern jaw (not photoshopped)

-short bleach blonde hair

-either a blue football jersey or a grey varsity t shirt

-probably on a football field of some sort though you don't see much behind him and the photo's from the chest up

-a really blue sky behind him

-probably taken in the mid 2000s

-not a stock photo

-not the same photo from that troll tinder account with the photoshopped hair

Solved! I was misremembering a movie as a TV show, my bad.

Looking for a specific episode of a TV show but can't recall what show.. I think it was either House MD or Castle, or a similar thing. Something crime-related, or mystery/medical-leaning?
Sadly I can't remember if the overarching plot was more 'solve the crime' leaning, or 'diagnose the problem' leaning, so I can't point in either particular direction with certainty. But its possible its neither of those shows, just something in a similar vein.

The parts of the episode I recall was that it opened with a married couple, and supposedly the husband had rolled over onto their infant (daughter?) during the night and suffocated her... but after investigations from the main characters, it turns out the wife had actually suffered a stress/mental break or similar, suffocated the infant, and framed her husband for it by placing the child in the bed next to him.

Near the start, I think the husband turned himself in, as he believed he was to blame.. but somewhere along the line I guess one or more of the characters started looking into things and somehow found out what really happened. And I think I remember the wife giving a confession when the truth was mostly dug up by the end, but that could easily be a false recollection.

I tried looking it up, and the only suggestion I found was "Forever" (S2, E22 of House)... but the synopsis isn't really familiar to me and doesn't line up with what I remember.

Multiple people and family members bought it in and brought it from Austria in the 2010s.

The product might not be strictly an Austrian brand, but it was certainly bought there.

The packaging was like a square box (not a perfect square, imagine like a book shape) and the biscuits were individually wrapped (2 in each wrap) for a total of 8 in the box if i remember correctly.

I don't remember the tune so no vocaroo, but it's I think a fairly recent hip hop song where the rapper makes mention of being a zombie. I heard it in 2024 but it could be much older.

Come to think of it he might be wanting to **** a zombie???

It also sounded horrendous if that helps, and it was I think British. Sounded sort of like dabbla.

My siblings and I have been trying for years to find a commercial that aired in the early 2000s (maybe late 90s?).

A man answers his front door and there’s a guy wearing a full-body bird costume, possibly a chicken or parrot.
The bird guy is a singing telegram of some sorry and he starts dancing and singing, “Happy birthday, happy birthday! What a great day for your birthday!” and then makes a loud clucking sound, “Bwuck bwuck bwauck!”

The man just stares at the bird like he’s completely insane, and the camera cuts back to the bird guy still doing his funny dance shuffle.

I think it may have been an ad for a gift or flower delivery service (kinda like 1800-Flowers) with a tagline that implies that some gifts are terrible and you should send something better from them.

We all remember the exact same commercial, and we’ve been singing that stupid song to each other on our birthdays forever! YouTu

There was this one video i found which featured 2 stickpeople (One pink and female and one blue and male) generally being together with a happy song playing the background. There was a scene where one of the stickpeople become a zombie, bite the other stickperson and they become a zombie too, with them being in love.

the song is "Primabalerina" by Margaret, especially the chorus (from 0:35 to 0:49). that part sounds so familiar to me that the first time i heard this song on the radio, i was already following the melody in my head despite never listening to it prior to that.

i'm assuming the song i'm searching for is another generic pop track, maybe from the 2010s? most likely also sung by a female vocalist. the polish one has an 80s-esque synth instrumental but other than that it doesn't really sound like an 80s song. it gets played like 10 times a day on the radio here and whenever i hear it, all I can think of is "wait it sounds like something else... but what?" and i still have no idea what it might possibly be 😭 i don't really like this song or this artist so i just want to find out and get this over with so i can stop thinking about it

Hi, I’m looking for a story that I think came from Reddit. I’ve heard it twice. I don’t remember when the first time was, but the second time was a couple of months ago on TikTok. I couldn’t find it in my watch history. I’m from Russia, and I’m not sure if I can post in Russian here, so I’m using AI to translate. I’d like to find a version narrated in Russian.

Someone already made a Reddit thread looking for this story, and a person posted a link to the video, but the video is unavailable and the thread is locked. I’ve attached a screenshot.

Here’s the story: A guy accidentally overhears his wife saying she’s planning to leave him and take half of everything. He leaves town without telling her. He stops at a diner and overhears an older man saying his farm is struggling because he can’t afford to pay workers. The guy offers to help in exchange for a place to stay. The farmer agrees, they buy him some work clothes, and they head back to the farm.

Later, the farmer’s daughter comes home, and they gradually develop a relationship. I clearly remember a scene where she’s swimming in a lake and some guys are spying on her. The main character arrives on horseback and fires a shot near them. Someone is also stealing the farmer’s cows, apparently people from the neighboring farm.

There’s another scene where he goes into town with the daughter. They’re having lunch at a café when some guys she knows come over to talk to her, and the main character gets up and walks away.

In the end, he buys the neighboring farm and marries the daughter of the farmer who took him in.

I’m specifically looking for the Russian narration. Has anyone heard it and remembers the channel or video title?
