How can I find songs by lyrics?

I remember a snippet of a song from years and years ago, but have no idea who sang it, what song it was, or even what "genre" of music or era. Can I dig it up with Google or some other tool? The phrase was "wrapped up like a deuce", I think.


Dave's Answer:

This is a splendid job for Google, actually, particularly its ability to search for phrases rather than just collections of words. Let's just jump in and search for the phrase you list, but make sure that we surround it with quotes:

      "wrapped up like a deuce"

Unlike most people with tenuous memories of songs, you remembered the lyrics right, congratulations! The first match is from the site Am I Right?, where they state that this particular lyric from Manfred Mann's song "Blinded by the Light" is commonly misheard (or misremembered) as "wrapped up like a douche". There's also some confusion about whether it's "wrapped up" or "revved up". Since a "deuce" is slang for a particular kind of hot rod (remember the Beach Boys "little deuce coupe"?) the latter makes a bit more sense to me...

We've already found your match, though, the song is Blinded by the Light and it's by Manfred Mann. A bit more digging and you'll find that it was originally written by a far more successful [and talented, but that's just my opinion] musician, Bruce Springsteen, in the early 70's and Manfried Mann recorded their cover version in the mid 70's.

One great place to dig around for music and song information, by the way, is Gracenote.com, where you can find that there are a surprising 350 matches in the database to "blinded by the light" and where I confirmed that indeed "Manfred Mann" was also known as "Manfred Mann's Earth Band". I thought so. :-)

Go back and look at those Google results, though. There's an upload on YouTube of Manfred and his gang playing the song from back in 1976. It's not pretty, but here it is:

The second match back at our original Google search is also quite interesting, it's an article from Cecil Adams for his splendid The Straight Dope column on the lyrics to this very song. In his short piece Cecil explains that Springsteen's original lyrics were "cut loose like a deuce" and that Mann changed it to "wrapped up like a deuce", then he bails and admits he has no idea what any of it means. Uh, okay, Cecil. We'll let you slide on this one.

Finally, if you really can't live without the song, you can Google something like "blinded by the light" free mp3 download and try your luck with the various sites listed. More likely than not, the copy you'd get would be illegal, but then again, if I hadn't done that Google search myself I wouldn't have learned that Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) did a cover of the song too...

Now, for practice, try to figure out which song the lyric "you put the lime in the coconut" comes from, the singer/band, when it was first recorded, how many people have recorded this particular song and, as a bonus, find a link to it as a video on YouTube (and double-bonus if it's a muppet singing the song). Now hold on, don't scroll down to read the answers from other readers first: that's cheating!

Too easy? Here's a tougher one: who was the first woman to record a song with the lyrics "nice work if you can get it", and which of the many recordings by female singers was the most successful by sales or based purely on the popularity of the singer?

JOHN said, on February 9, 2009 8:13 PM:

This song was aired during the 2001-2002 season in Mayish/ Junish .. I remember it because it was aired during the NBA championship series between the Lakers and Sixers. Anyways the song is in the background when a lizard is walking a tree/twig or something it looks like the geico lizard..buts its not...I am pretty its a nokia commercial because I tried finding in the old geico commercials and couldnt find it.

THE SONG:

This song consists of a jazz/pop melody..you can here part of the drums/guitar..good song, sounds like a classic. The words I remember from this song go like this: The chorus is like: " And just keep on.." (singers voice).....(more words)... AHWHOOOOOWHOOOOOO (Some woo-ing involved )thats the reason.... "And just keep on"...
By this time the lizard has jumped of teh twig or soemthing on teh white blank screen and kind of smurks at the camera.

Please if anyone has an idea it would be greatly appreciated ..thats a pretty good description.. LET ME KNOW!!

What is the name of the song: from the late 1970'sung by a woman.

Woman, it's time to stop your dreaming, all your crying and your scheming? will break your heart someday, so woman don't start feeling sad, you can't lose what you never had, so dry your eyes and take it like a woman. Sometimes I feel like crying, sometimes I just don't know, it feels so good when you hold me, but it hurts when you let go. I understand your feelings, but understand mine too, while your heart belongs to someone else, what is mine supposed to do?

Ait'al said, on March 21, 2009 9:03 AM:

I'm looking for one from the 90's. Very popular group.

One of the lyrics is something like:

"Then, there was this girl who....and came home after school. but, when.. she .... they said she couldn't ... even though she tried sooooo hard! ooh aah oooh aah ooh aaah oooh aaah oooooooohhh.." or " And then there was an accident and ...." The lyrics are probly a little off or intermixed.

I't somewhat repedetive but there are different words each time even though they all sound similar.

after all that you put me through do you think you got a hold on me dont you know i'd never be trapped

Rick said, on March 25, 2009 5:57 AM:

As a teen growing up, I found a lot of old 45’s that my family member had collected and grew very attached to one particular song. Now, over 30+ years later, the lyrics are still stuck in my head and when I ask record store owners or DJ's if they know the song, they laugh and say they have never heard of it. Originally I thought it was from Paul Revere and the Raiders had written the song but it was not the case. The lyrics that I remember go like so;
Love is all around from the sky to the ground
There’s enough to go around it can always be found
The best love is found in the home

Get it on, Get it on, Get it on, Get it on
It’s the best love known it’s the best love grown
Whoa, o, o, o, o Love is all around you know.

Well they said we couldn’t do it but we proved it one June
We sent a rocket to the moon
And know were walking in space

Well you can’t tell a lie and expect to get buy
Or the truth will come back bye and bye
And it will slap you in the face
Such a waste to be walking in space
When we can’t walk together down here
Take a hand, shake a hand get to know your fellow man
And ya’ll get together and try to do a little better know you hear.

Now after reading the lyrics, you see why they all laughed at me. I hope you have tremendous luck in your search for this song as can not find it anywhere. It would bring a flood of memories to my family member and I thank you for taking on this quest.

Pam Madaris Hill said, on March 27, 2009 11:55 AM:

I heard a song recently on a country station that was more like a pop/country cross-over song.It sounded like Ashley Monroe/Sarah Buxton/ Jewel. It was a beautiful song and the only word of the lyrics that I can recall is: "princess". (Don't worry, it is not Taylor Swift's Romeo and Juliet song).

Izzo said, on April 2, 2009 11:31 PM:

This song that I can't get out of my head is a very mellow song. I have heard it on several different radio stations but mainly on alternative and world class rock stations.
It is by a female artist and it basically just goes


la da da da daduhdaduh da da da duh da duhdada... with some lyrics mixed in.

It's pretty slow and maintains the same tempo throughout.

Help I'm desperate

Richard Gray said, on May 19, 2009 8:09 PM:

There is a song, a techno song. the intro is rather odd. THere a man on a mic that says something along the lines of "Welcome to the sound room, your dj tonight has a wide rang of songs lined up for you, he has avoided the snack bar, and he is still relatively sober" and a few more things of that sort. then it bursts into some wicked beat, not much for lyrics tho. cant find it for the life of me.

Walt said, on May 22, 2009 11:21 AM:

"...she was golden, just like the sunshine. She was cooler than a summer rain; I've got to find that girl and bring her back again..." late70's early 80's not that popular but I liked it. Wish I could obtain the whole shebang.

tristen said, on June 2, 2009 11:38 PM:

i heard this song about a girl who dealt weed to a guy who thought she was amazing. some of the lyrics went, "i'm sure you'll never be a runway model, but the way you hit the bong.." something like that. i can't figure it out. i've been retyping different things into google lyrics and can't find a single thing. i know it's a guy who sings the song and he has more of a 'girly' voice i guess you could say. it's a pretty chill song.

He talks about the car and the pretty woman driving and maybe leather he or she is wearing. She touches his leg at some point? This is driving me crazy trying to think of it.

To those who keep saying this is by Melissa. I don't know who she is, but it must be one of many covers. The popular one was from the 60s, by J Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers.

I am looking for this 80's song. I don't remember the title or most of the words. I know it was a black group, I remember the phrases.

"Wooooooho tell me that I'm dreaming/ I'm dreaming."
"Wooooah(sthg)..........Believing/ Believing

Girl, ... what I mean ......
I'm dreaming/I'm dreaming"

The above was the male lead vocal there is a female singer that sings a verse that says

"Boy... you know what I mean..."

And I remember the baseline and organ had an incredible solo. I have never heard that baseline being sampled in other songs which is a pity. It is the thumpingest thing I had ever heard.

I used to listen to an old song my mother used to play it was back around 1978 when i heard it i remember a bit of the song it goes
"well I guess someday you will run away and find a love with whom youll stay and baby baby youll be happy to, well i want you always to remember that ill always be waiting and ill alwys love you like i do" a female sang it im sure

emanueal said, on March 22, 2010 6:59 PM:

I'm also looking for a song, it sounds like an old hip hop song with very simple lyrics they are:
Come on come on,
Come on come on,
come on come on,
1,2,3,4
ooh la la Sassoon come on come on
ooh la la Sassoon come on come on
ooh la la Sassoon come on come on
1,2,3,4
Let me hear ya Say turn it up, without a doubt
let me hear ya say turn it up, without a doubt
let me hear ya say turn it up, without a doubt
come on
come on
come on...
It just repeats it's self but at the very end the words, And you don't know me yet! are spoken.
Any clues? anyone.....

I'm looking for a song, I believe from the 80s, with the lyrics "over and over" in the chorus. Kind of a deep voiced ballad I guess. Not much to go on, but anyone know it perchance?

Aaliyah said, on March 30, 2010 4:04 PM:

i don't know the name of this song...when we fell so deep in love twise like a fairy tail the somehow came true..then we fall apart became nightmare what happened to our love

suzy said, on March 30, 2010 4:59 PM:

Dwight & Angeli You're gonna love me!!!!! After months of going crazy I decided to call a certain oldies radio station and beg the DJ to find out who sings the song in my previous entry. After singing (wonderfully might I add) a few words he knew right away. So here goes: All I wanna do to be by your side girl, is sung by a Canadian artist (GO CANADA!!) by the name of Jerry Doucette. Look him up people. Absolute oldies genius. Thanks for nothing Dave whoever you are!

Gordon said, on April 23, 2010 5:43 AM:

To Kai,

You wanted details about a song that goes "I see you and my heart just stops. Just one look and I'm with an angel."

The song is called "I.C.U. (And My Heart Just Stops)" by Wes Quave.

It can be found on iTunes on a various-artist album called "Gordon Pogoda Songs from Film & TV". It was featured in the Disney TV show "Kim Possible" (the very first episode) and a few other shows and films as well.

Hi there..I am looking for a 90s dance/house/techno song,from either 1995 or 1996 with the lyrics "come together..we stay forever..have a nice day have a nice day..

Many thanks

tommy said, on April 25, 2010 12:32 PM:

i was a kid in the 60s, the song was sung by a female [nancy sinatra? but i dont think it was her] nor do i know all of the lyrics. the song began; the two of us [dont know the lyrics here] it's just the two of us and we'll all be [something] along

graham said, on April 29, 2010 5:04 PM:

A song from the 80s? early i imagine

lyrics maybe are "some day we're gonna see.... to find another world" but i may have a word or two wrong.

male vocalist. perhaps a band. Sounds a little like around the Human League era.

such a long shot, i hope someone can nail it.

graham said, on April 29, 2010 5:06 PM:

re above i also think it may sing "and we're living without you..."

again, maybe a word or two wrong.

I can't find a hip hop techno-y song that I heard a long time ago. The lyrics are like.. I know your watching me, I see you watching me, why can't you just leave me beeeee. And that whole part is in a techno voice and then the rest in a normal voice but I don't remember it.

sara credito said, on June 17, 2010 8:58 PM:

This is a lovely song from the 60's (I think), the only words I remember are Baby, Baby, it's you I'm thinking of, in the morning when I wake up, in the evening, it's you that I dream of, sometimes lovers, and sometimes love's unkind, and sometimes I may feel blue, but remember now baby if these words are real, this could never, never happen to you.
Thanks, I think it's called "things I yet to say", or something like that, but I can find it or the group

Paul said, on June 19, 2010 9:39 PM:

To what song do these lyrics belong: "tonight we're gonna do all the things we've been wanting to do"
The song is from the 50s, 60s, or 70s

I'm looking for a song, which my mom used to sing. I don't know if she got the lyrics wrong it went something like this.
"Such fascinating green eyes ... I look into you green eyes and i'll find my heaven there.

Drew said, on August 25, 2010 11:52 AM:

Okay, please help me with this song, it has been bothering me for awhile now. And I cant remember the name or the artist of the song. I know it is an older song, with a guys voice.
There is only one line of the lyrics I am sure about. Its "I can feel it" and something to do with the edge of summer. And its not the song by Phil Collins.
