So libtard is ok to say here? So christian of you.
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!!

Hi mhodel. It’s so cool that you took the time to help!! Thank You for a clear & detailed set of instructions! I did follow them and pasted the URL proper. The first suggestion on Google was “The Five - Friday, June 9 | Fox News Video”. Then I got a “404” for that page. I think they may have already taken it off their website. If this would provide access to the June 7th, 8th or 9th shows, I would be willing to sign up on their website. All in the quest for one song!!!! I have been attempting all the other other great suggestions from all you guys! It appears that the only Podcasts available are from the three most recent shows. So, there are none going back to them dates. I did sent my message to Fox News through their website. Here is their response….. Hello , This is not a good sigh when “Fox Customer Care” Can’t find the song they played!! I did watch all 5 segments/blocks for 06/09/23 on YouTube. But, they don’t include the break to a commercial. I can’t seem to find an E-Mail address for Greg Gutfeld. I know this is starting to “Border On Ridicules” at this point! I am sure all of you guys have much better things to do with your time! It’s just that now, I don’t want to throw the towel in! Again, maybe the entire song is just not that great, but the “Refrain” did sound good! Now, that damn “Refrain” will not come back to me! I know this is all “Self-Inflicted” on my part!! Again THANKS TO ALL OF YOU, for the suggestions & advice!

Hi michaelmshaw!! I think you and I are on a “Wavelength”. This is a good tune that I had bought when it came out. But, now it is a problem for me. I have been trying to retrieve the short clip of the song I am looking for in my 65 year old brain. So, I will sit quiet and each time I do, “Lady In Red” keeps playing in my head. It’s funny that I think it does have a similar melody to it. But, now I am starting to second guess myself! When I first mentioned “They played a song and the male singer had the sound of “Simply Red” or “Chris de Burgh”, I was totally “Winging It”! For all I know, this artist could be a “One Hit Wonder”! For me, the only way to clear my head of an “Ear Worm” is to play the song. I am listening to Lady In Red”, right now! It does sound very good on my system!
Thank You, for the suggestion, michaelmshaw!!

I FOUND THE SONG and many, many Thanks to (mhodel) and his “Colombo Like Instincts”. He had a creative way to provide me with a “Link” that I just could not come across. Sure enough, the “Link” had a complete listing of Podcasts for the show that did include the commercial breaks and “Bumper Music”. First, I listened to the 06/09/23 show to no avail. Then I listened to the 06/08/23 show and at the 27 minute, 20 second time marker, THERE IT WAS!! I used “Shazam” and even with only the 5 second sound clip it found it! The Band is “Roxy Music” and the Song is Avalon!! I actually have this vinyl album from back in the day (1982). I knew that I had heard it through the years, but it has been so long, I forgot who did it and the name of it. There is a pretty good chance, that if (mhodel) had not found this “Link’, I might have thrown the towel in! I have always liked all “Genres” of music and tend to lean towards “Electric Blues”. But, “Avalon” is a good song that I had put on some “Mix Tapes”, back in the day! This song sounds really good on my system, even with it being recorded in 1982! It’s funny that sometimes the original can sound better than “Qobuz” or “Apple Digital Mastered”. I am playing it on my Bang & Olufsen Turntable (I have three B & O Turntables). This Turntable & my Klipsch Cornwalls I bought in the early 80’s. Around that time I bought my first McIntosh units. Since then I had a B & K A/V Receiver for 18 years. In March of last year I bought two new McIntosh units. All these years, I would sample many speakers, off & on. But, the Cornwalls still sound great! Again, I sincerely appreciate all the research, suggestions & advice from all of you to find this song! Repeating myself, I know that you have better things you could be doing with your time! I will not forget this!! Thank You!

Hi johntoye, This is an amazing “Playlist” on Spotify!! It’s funny, that back when I “Posted” my question in June 2023, I was thinking that someone should “Compile” a “Playlist” of “Bumper Music” just like this! Well, sure enough you found this! Also, it is really something that after a year, you took the time & effort to “Post” this for me! That is very decent of you!! I did find the song at that time. It is “Avalon” by “Roxy Music”. This Spotify “Playlist” is very complete, because “Avalon” is on it from June 9th, 2023! That is the exact date from when I heard it! Now, I have a “Go To” for when I hear a short clip of “Bumper Music” of a song!! Also, I LOVE your system!! Those Klipsch Klipschhorn’s are so NICE! I have Klipsch Cornwall’s that I bought new 45 years ago. To this day, they sound as good as the day, I bought them! So many times through the years, I went out Speaker Shopping. But, in just my humble opinion, “Horn Twitters’ & Mid-Range speakers just can’t be beat! I do understand that there are so many beautiful sounding speakers out there! I just prefer the Cornwall’s! Our Klipsch Speakers were built like a “Tank”! I have always been careful not to send “Distortion” through them. Maybe, that is why they still sound so good! Thank You So Much, for sending me this “Link” to this Spotify “Playlist”!! You did not have to take the time & effort to do it, but you did!! Very Nice!! Tom | ||||
