Open [TOMT] Help me find a song/album cover that's been stuck on the tip of my tongue for YEARS 😭

15 Upvotes

I remember hearing this song on Pandora sometime between the early 2000s and 2020, probably closer to 2008–2012. I listened to it around the same time as “So What” by P!nk, “Don't Trust Me” by 3OH!3, and “Good Girls Go Bad” by Cobra Starship.
The song had a pop/rap or club vibe, and I vaguely remember it being about girls, partying, or good girls/bad girls. The title might have had something to do with opposites, like hot/cold or good/bad, but I'm not sure!
The main thing I remember is the cover art that Pandora showed while the song was playing. It was a very close-up, sexy-looking image with shiny, wet/oily-looking skin, almost like body oil or sweat. There was a brightly colored packet (possibly orange, red, or blue) right in the center of the image. I originally thought it was a Black man with dreadlocks, but now I'm not completely sure who was pictured. It might have been a woman. I vaguely remember the person having the packet near their mouth, but the packet itself is the most memorable part.
The artist was definitely a man singing/rapping.
I have searched so many things and keep getting nowhere 😭 Does anyone recognize this description or remember an album/single cover like this?

Open [TOMT] voice actor in Scooby Doo video game promo

I'm currently watching a video about an old Scooby Doo game and it played a brief snippet of this commercial, it's bothering me because the voice sounds familiar but I don't know who it is. I'm usually very good at identifying voice actors but I can't place my finger on this one, hoping someone here knows!

Open [TOMT][BOOK][2000-2010’s] childrens book with aphrodite mentioned

7 Upvotes

hello all!
i’m looking for a book i used to read a lot in my childhood in the early 2010’s. im from the UK if this helps

- i am pretty sure it was a non fiction book aimed towards girls, it had different sections like history and spell-adjacent pages. it had jacqueline wilson esque drawings in it
- the one thing i do remember is that aphrodite is mentioned in the book and talked about a lot. any searches come up with a fiction book about aphrodite but it was definitely not this one
- i think perhaps it had the word love in the title but i cannot be certain.
- the book cover was definitely a pale pink and perhaps had gold embossing. i dont remember it being overly detailed but again its been quite a few years

any help is greatly greatly appreciated!! i loved this book and being able to revisit it would be amazing

Solved [TOMT] Pastry that is rectangular and enclosed with filling inside

14 Upvotes

As the title says, I'm looking for the name of a pastry, it's similar to a Pop-Tart, but it isn't that. I'm not exactly sure how else to describe it, it's tan colored with no holes, I assume the filling is injected with some kind of syringe. I might be making this up, but I feel like I'm losing my mind

Open. [TOMT] [SNACK] [1990S] A corn chip snack from the 1990s in New Zealand (but could be imported?)

5 Upvotes

Hello all,

My coworker was talking about a specific snack she used to love eating as a teenager in the 90's but can't seem to remember the name of them nor has she found any information on the internet about them. Here is what she remembers about them:

-They were a corn chip.

-Specifically hexagon or octagon in shape and relatively flat (thought this would be the easiest clue)

-Came in 100g sizes and perhaps others.

-She remembers two flavours; cheese and salsa.

-She remembers cheese coming in a yellowish bag and salsa in a purply-pinkish bag (I thought doritos at first but nothing else lined up for her)

-Found in New Zealand, specifically Dunedin, but likely imported? Unsure!

-Hasn't seen them since the 2000s started, as far as she can remember.

Thank you so much for reading/helping :)

Open [TOMT][SONG] Help me find a song, I’m at my wits end….

46 Upvotes

I have very little to offer on this other than the following:
- I used to hear it when I was a kid, between 2004-2008, but the song could be older, it’s likely pre-2000s.
- it’s very similar to Duran Duran but it’s not Rio, Reflex, Hungry like the wolf or any other of their popular songs.
- I seem to remember one lyrics being along the lines of ‘feet off the ground’ or ‘floating off the ground’ or something to that effect.
- I also seem to recall the word ‘planet’ being said as well.
-it’s very vibey, kind of similar to ‘Enjoy the silence - Depeche Mode’

I’m sorry I don’t have more details to give than that, but I’ve trawled through everything I possibly can, including nagging my mother to recall every single song she’s ever liked, so ANY help could save me 😭😭

Open [TOMT][MOVIE][1990s] film where the macguffin is a pen

3 Upvotes

Looking for a film I watched in either the late 90s or earlier 2000s where the macguffin was a pen, it was possibly encrusted in valuable diamonds, stored a diamond or other gem, or contained a microchip?

It would've been a family oriented film, live action, I assume American/Canadian. Cannot remember any details, my brain for whatever reason associates it with My Favourite Martian and Paulie, I don't believe it is either of those films but maybe from a similar time period?

Open [TOMT] [MOVIE/TVSHOW] [2010+] touching food thermometer with hands

2 Upvotes

Hi.

I remember this scene I saw of a woman cooking in the kitchen. She took this roast or something out of the oven, with oven mitts before placing it on the countertop. Seconds after she pulled out the food thermometer with her bare hands, which was a mistake/goof, because it was supposed to be warm. I didn't watch it, my dad was watching this and he showed me only this scene because of the error. I remember googling it and someone else had written it down on IMDb, but now I can't seem to remember the show...

I don't know the genre.. I think she was like 30-40 years of age and blonde, and there were more people in the kitchen... That's all I have.

Solved [TOMT] Song with Dave Atell? and a female singer from mid 2000's

2 Upvotes

I remember a song from the 2000s that had 3 different male comedians. Each one would have a "verse" of spoken word that sounded like a standup segment, and a female singing a chorus. I think Dave Atell and maybe Lewis Black were on it. I remember it getting regular radio airplay at the time, soes anyone remember it?

Open [TOMT][MOVIE/TV][Unknown] Emotional scene with wordless “ooh” vocal swelling during a kiss or hug

6 Upvotes

I’m trying to remember a specific scene from a movie or TV show, but unfortunately I remember the music much better than the actual scene.
I believe two characters either **kiss or hug/embrace**, and as they do, the score swells emotionally. The part I remember most is a **single sustained wordless vocal “ooh”** that rises pretty dramatically and then falls back down.

I tried recreating it by ear, and I *think* the vocal melody is approximately:
**G4 → A4 → D5 → E4**

Something like:
**ooooooOOOOOOoooo**

The D5 is the big/high emotional peak of the phrase. I also think the accompanying chords are approximately:
**Em → D → C**

I originally thought the scene was **animated**, and I thought it was a **kiss**, but now I’m less certain about both. It could be live action, and the moment could actually be an emotional hug/reunion instead.
I’m pretty sure it’s something I’ve **watched or rewatched relatively recently**, although that doesn’t necessarily mean the movie/show itself is recent.

Does this ring a bell for anyone? I know this is ridiculously vague, but the musical swell is stuck in my head.

Open [TOMT][SONG] A song that sounds similar to Half Horse Half Man

2 Upvotes

Every once in a while Half Horse Half Man pops up in my youtube feeds of funny songs, and it always reminds me of . . . something. The song that it reminds me of is not a "silly" song like this one is. I was certain it was Children of the Night by Blutengel but it's not. It may be a different Blutengel song or could even be a different mix of this same song. If not Blutengel, it's likely it is in a similar sort of "dark, goth-adjacent" band but I'm not certain.

English lyrics, I think it is predominantly a man singing but am not certain and there's a good chance there was also a female vocalist but that's not certain either.

Open [TOMT] Draw With Me reference

• Upvotes

There was a cancelled game once upon a time that was a first person interaction with a girl on a bench. It used head nods and shakes to talk to her.

May have been by Mike Inel but I don't remember if it was or just a fan work. The video ended with them walking away from the girl until they hit the boundary where there was a glass wall with draw with me references and then the video ended.

I'm pretty sure the original video got deleted because I know my old YouTube account had it in the favorites and it's missing now.

Open [TOMT] help me find a video/meme

• Upvotes

saw a meme on Twitter I’d say a few weeks ago and it was so funny to me that I just need to find it again. But google is giving me the wrong results.

An old woman walks up to the camera and seems to be yelling or scolding the guy recording, but the screen suddenly turns fully hot pink and a happy, upbeat, cheery song starts playing, making it look like the woman is singing. The song is extremely cheery, a bit high pitched and sung by a woman.
If anyone has any information on this or where I can find it pls tell me! Thank you!

Solved [TOMT][SONG][FRENCH] Looking for a song I barely remember

• Upvotes

So it's been around my head this song I listened to quite a while ago (about two years maybe?), I just remember very few things

MOST VIABLE INFO

  • It's in french (I'm 99% sure it was french)
  • There's two singers, a woman and a man (I suppose they were a couple cuz I THINK they had more music together)
  • Their voices were kinda low and the song was pretty moody overall

NOT SO VIABLE INFO

  • The title was a color (not really sure? I think it was blue or red [in french]) also something VERY specific is that I think it had the word "vermillon" somewhere in the lyrics or title
  • I just remember a name somewhat like "rei" related to this but this might be the least viable hint

Solved [TOMT] [Cartoon Series] I am looking for an old dark cartoon series.

8 Upvotes

Excuse my english for it is not my first language. I am looking for an old cartoon that was kind of grim with each episode having its own story with a dark ending. It was weird for a kids cartoon. One episode that i remember was a girl that obsessed with eating french fries constantly. Thank you in advance.

Edit: I know it is gonna sound unbelievable but i think in the end of the episode with the french fries eating girl the girl was married off to someone and in the end of the episode the girl was eating fries at a wooden table inside a castle and at the very end there a was a shot of the castle outside. Which does not make sense having french fries in medieval times

Open [TOMT][MANGA] Male pianist and female partner

2 Upvotes

I remember seeing this manga on either TikTok or instagram a while back. I thought i had it saved but I guess i’m wrong. If i remember correctly, it was of a male pianist and his female friend or partner, one of those two, I’m pretty sure she was a singer, but I could also be wrong I’m going off the comments i remember reading. The post i saw was of a slideshow of panels or art from the manga, and the two i remember distinctly was of her in a piano style dress, with the male hovering over her almost like about to play the piano, and the other one was of her lying on the piano as he played. I remember seeing a comment saying they weren’t dating, so it might just be a purely professional idk. It could’ve also been promotional drawings for the manga and not actual panels.

Ive been trying to remember a show or movie I watched 20ish years ago. It's a real guy (not animated), white with darker short to medium hair and I don't think he had a beard. Guessing he was about 20s to early 30s.
He played a guitar and was singing while sitting on a bench in a playground with kids running around in a playground. From what I remember the songs were kid friendly, cherry and calm.

It's a 2 to 4 minutes, no dialog animation that shows a couple running a simple shoe shop. Then one night some gnomes or mices (can't remember exactly) get into the shop and repair all the shoes and clean the shop. So the couple wake up in the morning and they get to sell a lot of shoes, and they get rich at the end.

I don't know if it's a christmas clip but it has a snowy/cozy vibe.

Open [TOMT] 1970s Country Song with 1920s Ragtime Style Piano at the end.

3 Upvotes

Been trying to find this song for quite a while now. It’s not lost or anything, but I know it’s somewhere on YouTube. A few years ago, I was eating at a restaurant and ended up hearing a song that sounds like it was from sometime in the early to mid 1970s. (probably 1975 or so) It was a country song. (at least I think it was)

I don’t know the lyrics but all I know is one of the first few lines of the chorus has a melody sounded a little bit like “Right Place Wrong Time” by Dr. John, with a somewhat bouncy (ragtime sounding) instrumental that sounded a lot like Elton John’s “Honky Cat”. (Just imaging those two mashed up together, that’s what it sounded like.) It also ended with a 20s style ragtime piano solo and then it faded out. I know about Glen Campbell’s “Southern Nights”, but I know that song very well, so it’s not it. I tried Googling it, looking through forums, looking on YouTube, but nothing worked. So I went here instead. Any help on finding this song would be very appreciated. Thank you.
