ok, so some years ago i was up early one morning watching rage (rage is like MTV without any advertising or censorship, they are even allowed to play Devo and DuranDurans girls on film

Oh, yeah....

Uhhhhh..........Slayer? Reign in Blood?
-
do slayer often employ the use of voilins?
-
the message was BB" or something like that!
This doesn't help. So many songs have been written about me.
-

Hmmmm, no they have not. I can currently only think of Metallica that tried to use a strainer to force together distortion and violins. Slayer has not jumped that shark yet.

i thought it was Barry Adamson
Barry who?
as it has that kind of narrative style like 'set the controls for the heart of the pelvis.
"heart of the pelvis"?
the video clip having that sort of spy chase look.
"spy chase"?
it also reminded me of Jimmy Nail for some reason.
Jimmy who?
To summarise, the song has a sort of Barry Adamson narrative style.
Barry who?
for the chorus, there are violins
Ahhhh, finally something I've heard of.... let's see, a song with violins.....
Was it "Dust in the wind" by Kansas?
-
edit: i should mention that the song probably dates from about the mid-nineties onwards...
I'm thinking it's a little past Kansas ;)

I actually have a legitimate guess: the Beastie Boys - that 1970s cop looking video, I can't recall the name.

Sabatage
YEeeeSSSS! Danny? is that it? what did I win?

I don't recall any girls in the background of it???
and then some girls sing something like (and this is the bit thats driving me nuts because i think its the name of the song) " the message was BB" or something like that!
-
Yep. It's definitely Sabotage. There are girls in one scene if I remember. Wicked clip that.

well in that case we'll wait for comfimation from out judges, but it looks like we may have a winner......
-
and Danny can go back to killing kittens
-
but now he can do it to the tune of sabatage
-
That's gonna chafe a bit. There's some wicked tempos in that song.
-
That's what I thought to, but hey to each thier own
-
im tellin y'all its sabotage....
now think of that song. imagine it. savour its flavour....
ITS NOTHING LIKE SABOTAGE!!!
(or slayer)
another clue i guess is that the clip looked 'spy chasey' in the same way as ultravox- vienna. not that there were any spy chases as such, but it had that sort of film noir thing going with the dude in the trench-coat etc.
but im beginning to think there isnt as broad a range of musical tastes here as i first hoped :(

And it took you this long to realise this?

I don't recognise the song from your description ( I do have a fairly broad range of musical taste), but I think these links may help.

Ok, the elusive song title is now driving ME nuts.
OH! I know! is it Uriah Heep?
-
This thread reminds me of an old joke.
Guy walks into a bar with a steering wheel down the front of his pants.
The bartender points to it and says, "Do you know you have a steering wheel in your pants?"
Guy says, "I know, it's driving me nuts."

It is totally Uriah Heep's "easy livin" --- im freakin positive.
-
Wow, I cannotbeleive I got it from that description, but I know exactly what you are talking about:
Bittersweet Symphony
-

Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve
If that's it then danny_g get's the "Worst Description Ever" award because EVERYbody knows that freakin' song.
-
that song deserves the award for the worst song ever
-
fat johnny: no, it is not bittersweet symphony.
quarterback: if that was the case i would have to agree with you!
mission control: but it does get the award for funniest case of being sued ever. When The rolling stones sued the Verve, they got the rights to it as well as backroyalties and then started selling the poxy thing to every advertising agency around thus ensuring EVERYONE grew to hate The Verve!! now thats pretty wiley (",)
-
fat johnny: no, it is not bittersweet symphony.
Whew!

ok, i know this thread is pretty old, and for some reason half the stuff i posted has dissappeared (?)but ive had a win! i can now sleep at night (",)
i was idly looking in a music store oday when i happened to look at a serge gainsbourgh CD. the very first song was INITIALS B.B! that had to be it. once i got home i googled serge and found a sound byte of it. definitely the sound. so my clip must have been a cover since the video looked quite modern (from what my half asleep memory of the time told me). googling for covers i found the clip! the singer is mick harvey who used to be in a band with nick cave. and here is the clip. i think my descriptions in retrospect werent that bad...

and here is the original by serge gainsbourgh:

where serge went wrong is lack of chicks (",)
oh, and b.b stands for bridgette bardot one of many stars he used to bone hang out with...
-
Oh man, that's crap. :'(
-
Nice song. The vido clip is a bit low budget though. A bit like those Australian sci-fi movies ;D
-
The vocals reminded me of that Ben Folds/Captain Kirk abomination.

I can see how the violin riff hooked you though. An hour later, it was stuck in my head so hard I had to listen again and post this.
