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 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
