AIBU to Get You to Guess This Song Based on Nothing?

Anniversary on Saturday. I'm a bit crap at romantic stuff so normally go for a geeky t-shirt or a gadget or something, which is fine because DH likes that stuff but it might be nice to actually do something a bit more personal for once.

I'm going to make a mix playlist/CD (doesn't sound as good as mix-tape, does it?) of our relationship so far. Just songs we've listened to a lot, songs from films we've really liked etc. in chronological order since we started going out 12 years ago.

Problem is: I'm really shit at remembering what songs and artists are called! There's one in particular I'm really, really struggling with because I don't remember how it goes or any of the lyrics or anything to search.

So, I'll give you the very little information I have, which will almost certainly be wrong (ever had it where someone can't remember a name and they say, 'it definitely begins with an S.' Then, after half an hour of guessing 'S' names you find out it's Pamela? That's what I'm like).

I think it was out about three years ago...give or take. I think it's a band with a female singer. It's hard to describe the genre (mostly because I don't really do music genres) but it was sort of rocky but more...fantasy-like?? Errr...I think the lead singer might have had red hair but she might not.

Can anyone make any guesses based on the fuck all I've provided?

Not the Gorillaz. Have just listened to some bits and pieces of Pendulum and pretty sure it's not them, either.

I don't know which song you mean, but I'm taking a quiet joy in the fact that someone will be able to identify exactly what you're talking about, based on the fact that 'it largely sort of goes DUUUURRRRRRNNNNN'. And isn't Gorillaz.

CalonDu I will be amazed if someone can but I didn't expect anyone to get the first one based on the information I gave so it's worth a shot!

Skrillex?

Hmm... could it be "Sail" by Awolnation. It came out about a year ago and there are a bunch of dubstep remixes.

LadyNym · 27/08/2015 18:44

Fucking hell, it is!! It's AWOLNATION Sail!

Thank you, FortKnox. I can't believe you got it!

I'm enjoying this thread- give us another LadyNym!!

I love mumsnet, someone always has the answer to the most obscure question you can think of. I can't believe FortKnox got it from that clue. She has to win the internet for that Wine

LadyNym · 27/08/2015 19:48

Sorry, Sniffs, but I think I'm pretty much done. Maybe something will come to me tomorrow, though, and I'll need to use MN again for another song.

Yes, FortKnox please have a Wine or Cake and you definitely win the internet!
