Trying to ID some songs

<div class="IPBDescription">One's been a mystery for me +2 years</div>I don't like having to clutter forums with petty requests like these, but I'd sincerely appreciate it if I can get some identification to a number of songs that have been a mystery to me:

1. <a href="http://www3.telus.net/confuzor/chase.mp3" target="_blank">Sounds like a 60s movie soundtrack, chase scene, possibly comical.</a> Useless guess: Henry Mancini? Just remembered: Maynard Ferguson might have had a role.
2. <a href="http://www3.telus.net/confuzor/fareast.mp3" target="_blank">WAV file Titled "fareast," which doesn't make any sense.</a> Middle Eastern style, having nothing comparable other than Ravi Shankar (VERY sure that's wrong) and Claude Chalhoub.


I'm a little OCD when it comes to getting names to songs. Could possibly even make a game out of this as I tend to go out of my way to find mainly soundtrack stuff, which sucks to ID, since there aren't any lyrics to go by for Google.

Successful detective of one song gets pie or cake. Get both, and have both.

Godspeed.

    The first one... actually the Sonic the Hedgehog theme song shares that high pitched wiggle part. 17 seconds

    <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCaWI8_3VLU" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCaWI8_3VLU</a>

    dunno how to hotlink youtube...

    What I've always wanted to find was that morning music that was played in those bugs bunny or looney tunes cartoons. I remember it would show day and birds chirping and the music would be played.

    No clue on the second one.

    It's a homage to Korsakov's Flight of the Bumblebees

    Pretty sure you're looking for Edvard Hagerup Grieg's Morning Mood. If not, then Gioacchino Rossini's William Tell Overture.

    You could see if <a href="http://musicbrainz.org/" target="_blank">MusicBrainz</a> can figure it out. The first one sounds like The Flight of the Bumblebees run through an electronic blender from the FUUUUUTURE.

    out of about 500 songs I had, MusicBrainz could only identify one of them without any id3 or filename hints.
    (Meaning musicbrainz is unlikely to help here.)

    The first one sounds awfully like the Green Hornet song by Al Hirt on the Kill Bill Soundtrack.

    Gah! I should have put two and two together. I heard the song from a student made film, with the first song recognizably from the Kill Bill soundtrack (watched both movies, don't recall either track being used).

    Anyway, truckload thanks. I'm surprised as hell that I have 1.5/3 mystery songs identifed in one day. (the .5 deals with <a href="http://www3.telus.net/confuzor/QuaQuaQua.mp3" target="_blank">this song</a>, which made me mad as hell since the lyrics are clear, but I swear, they are IMPOSSIBLE to google. Finally found out that this song wasn't originally sung in English, which explained a lot)

    I know the second song, but I can't think of who it is by. <a href="http://www.last.fm/music/Nitin+Sawhney" target="_blank">Nitin Sawhney</a> perhaps?

    I'm sure my gf will recognise it instantly, so I'll ask her later.

    I think it's "Ca Plane Pour Moi," covered by Presidents of the United States of America

    That's because it is. I don't know what other songs people are mistaking it for, but that first one is definitely, 100% for sure the Green Hornet theme song.
    Track #8 off the Kill Bill: Vol 1 soundtrack.

    <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDKac0NYyIE" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDKac0NYyIE</a>


    So, while we're in a song identifying mood, I've been looking for one off-and-on for awhile too.
    The F-Zero song at the end of <a href="http://www.doomaniac.com/stuff/Dad's%20Home.swf" target="_blank">Dad's Home</a>.

    It is definitely *NOT* the Minibosses, and it's probably not even the Mute City theme. If anybody knows the name of this track, and who did it, and most importantly where I can get a copy of the song, please let me know.

    His <a href="http://www.myspace.com/sakupen" target="_blank">myspace version</a> uses different credits; no band name, but the title is "Endless Challenge"

    I have the song. It's by Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev, "Montagues and Capulets" from Romeo and Juliet Suite No. 2. The song length is 5:17, with the portion of your interest starting at 1:34.

    Also, tried to dig up a bit more info on the Endless Challenge song. <a href="http://www.chudahscorner.com/soundtracks/index.php?catalog=ZMCX-101" target="_blank">This album seems to fit the bill</a>.

    It's "Gollum's Song". Haunting and beautiful, maybe the best song to come out of LoTR.
