What is a song you wanted to find again for a long time, but it gave you no clear clue about how to search for it?

I would also be curious to hear how you eventually found it again!

One to start: Conquest for paradise by vangelis. Just randomly woke up one morning with the song plus title in my head

  • As a kid I had heard Got my Mind Set on you by George Harrison on the radio once or twice.

    A few years later when I was starting to listen to music for myself I heard the Weird Al parody, and wanted to track down the original. I didn't remember any lyrics to the original so the best I could do was accost people with a very poorly sung chorus of "this song is just six words long."

    It didn't go well. I didn't find the original until the Internet had caught up enough for me to find it easily.

    I had a similar arc with Downtown by Petula Clark. Thankfully without me trying to sing a parody chorus at anyone.
