Why didn't you just shazam it?



Because I can't sing for shit.

Uhhhhhhh.. shazam takes whatever's on the radio, sends it to shazam's servers and tells you what the hell it is... it's not gonna take your interpretation and give you a match. It usually listens for 15-30 seconds and if it can match it it'll do it.

Shazam failed. Probably because the audio sounds like this:

https://soundcloud.com/zook85/aud0001

I was trying to be inconspicuous or else I would have gotten closer and the sample would have been longer. Doesn't help that there is various noise in the background. Anyway, does anyone recognize the voice/know who this chick is?

Just in the ballpark of 80s music with female singers, it could be Heart. Of course I don't know any of their songs except Barracuda, which this is not. But you might want to start with Heart and similar bands.
I only listen to electro-post dubprog.  You've probably never heard of it.

I don't see how it could be any band that's remotely as popular as Heart.  All of Heart's songs would be traceable by a Google search, for one.

I think your best bet is to find out what company provides the music for your store and see if you can get someone to give you the playlist
Winger would be better!

I think I might ask management if they know where I can see the playlist, cause apparently so I've heard, they're the ones who choose the format and possibly the songs.

In my store the music system has a display that tells what the artist/song is. Ask your manager if they can check for you next time the song is on.
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

I think it's safe to say that the song doesn't actually exist.

I think I have put Zook through enough. 

I am now comfortable with revealing that I wrote and recorded the song and put it in rotation at Zook's local Kroger with the sole purpose of sending him on a musical snipe hunt.

Here's the website that shows the last 10 songs played on every channel they have. So I'm assuming if you found out the channel that your store has on, you could check the site when you hear the song.

I've been there but not while at work. Guess I'll have to Marty McFly again.

I do like the song.

I do not think that is Heart. I do think she may actually be saying "opal sky," but the search results for that aren't any better.

Another song possibly by the same band:

Chorus lyrics:

You oughta know when I've had enough"

It really sounds like she's singing "can we make it to that open sky" but Google has nothing. It must be pretty obscure, or worse...it's not even on a label, and it was sourced from a library, which means this and some TV ads or something could be the only place it's ever been heard. I know I've gone looking for songs from TV commercials before only to discover that the song has not been released commercially, and only exists in some library that I don't have access to.

It does sound like Roxette, but I have a feeling that it is like Bolsters said, a song that isn't commercially available, because otherwise Google would find it. The search continues!

It does to me, albeit a Roxette that was recorded underwater by the sonar system of a submarine one hundred miles away.  :lol

I checked the now playing list during the time the song played and there wasn't shit. No AC/DC that was played after, nothin'. What the hell, mang? Fuck this bitch and her stupid, non existent song.

Maybe the page doesn't update at a reasonable rate. Keep checking back for that AC/DC track on any relevant playlist.

Exactly this. This is what I was thinking right away. Has happened to me a couple times as well with music from tv shows. But I hope if they're using that Muzak service that he can find it on the list eventually.

You could say that.

I like the other two songs that might be by the same artist.

Dead end on all possible avenues. No one knows anything. Muzak said they have no way of knowing what songs play because they have too many devices and other bullshit.

I was able to record almost 3 minutes of the song though.
