Would It Be Possible To Get Help Finding This Song?


Hello,

I have an “Off The Wall” question. I just happened to come across this T.V. show called “The Five” on the Fox Network. I think it was on Friday (06/09/23), but it may have been the Wednesday’s or Thursday’s show. Just after Greg Gutfeld finished his comments, they went to a commercial. They played a song and the male singer had the sound of “Simple Red” or “Chris de Burgh”. It was a very short sound clip with an aerial view of Times Square. I had the show recorded and I was going to use “Shazam” to see if I could identify the song, even thou it was a very short sound clip. Then by accident the show was deleted. It is now Tuesday and I have tried every “Keyword Search” to find this song!! The melody has been playing in my Head over & over (Ear Worm), but now it is starting to fade and it is getting harder to remember it. By a very, very slim chance, I listened to a lot of the “Simple Red” & “Chris de Burgh” Catalogs, knowing that it probably is not done by them at all. I really need to find this song!! As I mentioned this is “Off The Wall”, and not necessarily a question for all of you good people at Audiogon. I am a faithful reader and have seen similar questions on our forum. I am 65 years old and have listen to music everyday my whole life by streaming stations with all genres. I have heard this song through the years, but not very often. I don’t know if you have ever had a song that instantly caught your Ear? I know that I am not offering much for glues here.  If there would be the slightest chance that someone could help me out, I would very much appreciate it.  I am very sorry for this very long message all in the quest to find one song!!

Thank You So Much!!

Another option to locate the song would be to listen to the podcasts of those 3 days(they do include the bumper music between "blocks"). Once you define and share with us the minute marker and day, might be easier to help you.

Go to IMDB, search for the film, programme or series. Select Cast & Crew (usually near bottom of page but they make it difficult to find). Music department, Music Supervisor. If the Five you are looking for is the Harlan Coben series the MS is Iain Cooke. He’s U.K. based and an extremely nice chap. Contact him through the U.K. branch of the Guild of Music Supervisors

It is not clear whether the song was part of the show or part of the commercial!

First, Thank You to all of you guys!! You did not have to take the time and effort to offer suggestions & advice. Yet, you did and I do appreciate it!!

I found the 06/09/23 episode and streamed it, On-Line. They cut out the “Bumper Music” and visual before the commercial. I assume that would be the case with the other dates I was thinking of. The music is in the show and not the commercial. I learned a new term, “Bumper Music”, so Thanks for that!

Hi, frankmc195! I was not able to pick-up the lyrics and now the melody has faded from my Head! But, as in the past with other songs, it might come back, I hope!

I can’t find any “On Demand” for “The Five” through Cable, to see if I can watch it, again. If they do offer that and I could find it, there might be a “Lag Time” before it is available.

This is really something, trying to find a song they you hear on the radio, TV, etc. I remember as a teen, I would hear something on the radio like a “Deep Cut” and at that time you had to get out the “Yellow Pages” and look up the radio station to try and ask the D.J. Also, we had an excellent local Record Shop. They would let you take a 45 out of the sleeve and they had a turntable you could Spin it on. The guys in the Record Shop were super friendly and would do anything to try and find it for you. I was 13 years old and these guys were older Hippies with long hair, yet they always took me seriously when it came to music. The Record Shop was a long ways from my house and I had to take a city bus to get there. But, it was worth it and a great way to spend a Saturday!!

Not always, but some of the “Old School” D.J.’s were so cool and would give you a great “Intro & Info’ before they played a song. I don’t care what they say about “AI”, it could never replace an actual D.J., a person with “Life Experiences” or a concert he went to before playing a song from the Band he had seen. We had local weekly radio shows, late on Saturday nights. Shows like “The Darkside”, “Space Headquarters”, etc. You never had any idea what they would play next because they knew what “Flow” was for a radio show!

I am very sorry for “Rambling On” (No Pun Intended) with this message! This message got away from me and I started “Reminiscing” (No Pun Intended)!

Now, with all this technology it is much easier to find an Artist or Song. But, so far this one has got away from me.

Again Thank You to all of you! I will continue to look for this song and try a few suggestions you have offered!

If I find it, for sure I will let you know! The funny thing is, what if I do hear the whole song and I am not real “Big” on it??

I did send a “DM” through Fox’s Facebook. Maybe they will reply!
