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!!

Try using Soundcloud. You can hum the tune and it might pick it up

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!
