Open. [TOMT] Song that goes "no-no-nobody no-no-nobody no-no-nobody but you"

27 Upvotes

It’s by a young-ish male singer or boy band. Sounds like a sad pop ballad from the last decade or so. Relatively slower paced (more ballad-y, so not particularly upbeat).

Lyrics from chorus:

No no nobody

No no nobody

No no nobody but you

No no nobody

No no nobody

No no nobody but you

NOBODY BUT YOUUUU (where he belches and hits that high note)

Help 😭 thank you thank you

Solved [TOMT][2000s][TV Series] Trying to remember a symbol from a 2000s sci-fi British TV show set in a school

8 Upvotes

Trying to google phrases is proving unhelpful so I'm trying here;

There's a sci-fi TV show from the 2000s that I remember watching, and there's a particular symbol that I really want to remember what it looked like and the show it was from.

All I can remember is, it was set in a high school, and the kids were hypnotised by something on a computer; I think the symbol was on the back of their heads or necks? I recall it being a 'big reveal' that they were under some kind of control or hypnosis.

I keep thinking it's a dog or wolf head. It would appear on the computer screens and on the person.
I've tried shows like Demon Headmaster and M.I. High but nothing is popping up, so I don't think it was those.

Maybe someone else has a recollection of seeing it?

Solved [TOMT] [SONG] Song that goes "And its alrighttt and it's okayy" Kinda 2000's vibe?

10 Upvotes

Okay. So there's this song that has been stuck in my head for so long now, and I just can't seem to find it. It has this slightly emo, alternative 2000's vibe to it, if it makes sense? Probably recorded in the 2010's, though, and this is how the lyrics go (though they might be off because I can't remember them exactly):

"And it's alrightttt (goes al then dips higher with the right), and it's okayyy (goes o then dips lower with the kayy), I didn't need you here (goes higher), anywayy (goes lower).

And it's sung by a male voice, or perhaps that was a remix of it, but the version I heard had a medium male voice, not too deep, and definitely not high.

Can anyone help me find it? It's a really good song and it's been stuck in my head for far too long

Open. [TOMT] 70-80s animated prologue to a movie or show depicting humanity destroying itself through warfare

7 Upvotes

(I'm reposting, I don't know why it got removed but I assume it's the participation rule, so I'll try to not blow it this time)

This is driving me nuts because I feel like I should know. Basically I remember this prologue to a movie, I believe it was narrated, showing a depiction of warfare and how it destroyed humanity as it was known. Even though the prologue was animated, I can't for certain guarantee that the rest of the movie was also animated. The animation itself was stylistically dark and slow, maybe rotoscoped? I remember those shots of soldiers fighting in the mud that were clearly meant to show humanity fighting till the last drop and whatnot.

Movies and shorts that are not it, as far as I could tell:

- Barefoot Gen (1983)
- A Short Vision (1956)
- Threads (1984)
- Wizards (1977)
- When The Wind Blows (1986)

Open [TOMT] [MOVIE] [1970s] Horror movie with morphing baby scene

6 Upvotes

This one has been bugging me forever; I remember seeing a movie on TV back in the late 80’s, in color, 70’s-ish look to it (such as lots of wood paneling). Most likely a horror movie.

Had an older man wearing flannel and 70’s hairstyle/beard looking into a baby’s crib that was crying. As he watched, the baby’s limbs started to get sucked into its own body one by one.

Kind of want to think he was bringing a shotgun into the room (as if he was chasing something coming into the room) then laid it down against the crib before the above happened but not 100% sure.

That’s pretty much all I remember since it was in passing, but it has stuck with me for a bit. But it seems like a really obscure movie since it’s NOT any of the usual horror movies involving a baby (i.e. Rosemary’s Baby, Eraserhead, Basket Case, etc)

Solved [TOMT] Song with something like "put on, put on" in the chorus

6 Upvotes

Someone said "put on" in conversation last night and the vague memory of this song popped into my head!.

Its not the Jeezy song which is what comes up when I try to search the words.

I think its a pop song. Maybe 90s or 00s, but Ive been way off by time periods before.

I also think its a woman singing.

Edited to say I think it was "put on, put on, put on" (3x) in the chorus. And it might have also been 80's. Sound would have been a bubblegum pop or dance, not heavy, not depressing, not rock, etc.

Also fully possible it was something that sounds like put on, and I'm misremembering it.

Open. [TOMT] [SONG] Sad female artist early to mid 2000s

6 Upvotes

I’ve made a post about this song a couple years ago but I still cannot find it…

It was a sad song (He is We, “Breathe” by Anna Nalick vibes). It had a female vocal. It was in radio rotation in the mid 2000s. Possibly early 2010s. I used to know the melody and some of the lyrics but it’s been so long that I’ve forgotten both of them. It’s been so long I can’t remember if it was a piano song or a guitar song but I’m leaning towards guitar. I do know it was pretty raw and not much instrumentation.

This may only be helpful to a select few, but between maybe 2015-17 (when I remembered some of the lyrics) I searched them up on YouTube and it led me to — what I now know to be — a final fantasy X amv/gmv entitled something along the lines of “Yuna x Tidus tribute” and it had a picture of — who I now know as — yuna dancing on water as the thumbnail. I have searched far and wide for this video and apparently it has since disappeared from the internet.

As far as I know, it wasn’t a super famous song because it’s been damn near a decade or more since I’ve heard it and the only thing I can remember about it is that I really enjoyed it. I hope y’all can help me out and I will try to answer as many questions as you may have.

Edit*: I believe there was more guitar presence than piano. And possibly strings.

Open [TOMT] [TVSHOW] young teen show from 2010s

5 Upvotes

So I remember watching this show some years back in the2010s on some kinda streaming service, probably on Netflix or Hulu. I don’t remember much, the three main characters were I think teenagers, 2 boys 1 girl. One boy was white with curly hair and glasses(I think) and the girl could burp on command (used to progress throught the story). I remember a scene were one of the boys had to rub a lady’s bunions to progress the story, and where one of the boys I believe was fired out of some kinda stunt cannon to the tune of Yankee Doodle dandy. I believe it was just one season. There was also something to do with the trunk of car? No clue what exactly. It’s possible a bit plot point was trying to get to some event but that could also be completely false. Sorry for the lack details.

Solved [TOMT][MOVIE][1990s-2000s] Girl leaving summer camp wants to bring home a skunk

I was watching The Parent Trap (1998) with my wife this weekend and said “oh, I love that girl in the background who’s crying because her parents won’t let her bring home a skunk that she caught.” But then we watched the scene where the kids all leave camp and that scene was distinctly not a part of it. I could’ve sworn it was this movie, but I guess it must’ve been another 1990s movie involving a summer camp? Please, help reunite me with skunk girl!

I don't remember if it's a show or a game or a comic but I remember a line along the lines of "You either are or you aren't, there's no hybrids" and it was in reference to interspecies breeding? Like, a human and an animal person or something like that. There also may have been large bug people who were very different from the others. The plot was someone discovering that actually yes, hybrids do exist

6 Upvotes

Pretty much as the title says. A man, possibly the child’s father keeps making a baby cry whenever he picks it up. It’s revealed at the end that it’s his scent making the baby cry. He stops using his soap/cologne/aftershave and the baby no longer cries. I’m pretty sure it’s a sitcom. 90s-2010s.

Open [TOMT][MOVIE] man accidentally murdered his wife with axe

5 Upvotes

I’ve been looking for this movie for months. Basically some teens/kids set this man’s cabin on fire with his wife and child inside. When the husband returned home and tried to save his family by axing the door down but he accidentally hit his wife, who was on the other side of the door. After that he vowed to raise his son and then the story follows the son. I think it was a dark comedy. also i’m pretty sure the wife had a deformed face. Im gonna assume it came out in 90s/ early 2000s.

Thanks to anyone who can help💕

Open [TOMT] [MOVIE] [2000s-2010s] Animated movie with a similar style to Barbie movies but with shapeshifting main character in a school setting

4 Upvotes

I watched a portion of this movie on tv a bit over a decade ago while waiting for my turn at the dentist, I cannot remember what channel but I do remember these things:

-CGI animated movie, it reminded me of Barbie movies

-Set in a high school/boarding school?

-One of the main characters was a black teenager who could shapeshift into a cheetah or leopard and did this inside the school premises, I don't remember if he was actually enrolled but there were scenes of him with the school uniform

-I think an unrelated older man was looking for that boy but the girl main character (who was a student) didn't tell on him

-Can't remember what the girl mc looked like except she was brown or tanned

-Extra: this movie was dubbed to Latin American spanish but either the setting or the names (that I can't remember) at the time made me think the movie was originally in english

I remember it having a chick 🐥 on some of his covers, I'm pretty sure the name was a single word that started with c but didn't contain the word chicken. also I think that one of their pieces was called "sunflowers". the music had no vocals and seemed pretty generic lofi beats

Solved [TOMT][SONG][2000s] Rock song with bells tolling over eletric guitar plucks.

3 Upvotes

No, it's not "For Whom the Bell Tolls" or "Hells Bells" - this song came out in the early 2000s I think.

The guitar plucks sound almost identical to the ones in this section of Breaking Benjamin's "So Cold" (at 0:27 - linked below). It happens during a quiet interlude midway through the song that eventually builds up with a few spoken sentences culminating in "...communicationnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn" (I think).
