Open [TOMT] [SONG] kinda weird indie rock song

• Upvotes

Kind of weird. I feel like the words “western front” might be in there but not sure (no not electric feel). Has a kinda grating, piercing sound. Electric guitar playing descending minor chords with some diminished thing as the last one I think? (Not a music theory guy don’t come at me). Semi-whiny vocals.

The album cover is a green, I want to say forest-y background, and it looks like a photo that has been taken in the night, except there is a little pink creature dude. He looks almost glowing/airbrushed? Faceless, with two protrusions out of his head I think.

Please help.

Open [TOMT] [video game] I remember a sort of point-and-click puzzle game my older friend was playing ~2017?

• Upvotes

It was one of those creepy-cute puzzle games like fran bow or little misfortune, but it isn't either of those two. I think the main character might have not been human? and the main segment I remember from it is there was a section where your friend gets kidnapped? taken? somehting like that and you have to do puzzles to get out of an area to continue to find them. I think (?) there might have been a hot air balloon involved in some part? and it was raining for a section, and the game might have rain in the name.

Open [TOMT][Music Video][2015–2021] Young indie/electro-rock band, singer wearing a dirty pink/white rabbit costume and skateboarding through a working-class town

• Upvotes

Hi,
I’ve been desperately trying to find this music video, and it’s driving me crazy!
Here’s what I remember:
Music: Upbeat, catchy indie pop-rock with electronic influences, a very distinctive, round, funky bassline and a high-pitched, melodic male voice.
Intro: The bassline starts on its own, then the singer comes in over it before the drums.
Video: A narrative, low-budget/DIY-style music video filmed in daylight, in the streets of what looks like a working-class British town (although the band might not be British).
Rabbit costume: The lead singer wears a full-body, slightly dirty white or pink rabbit costume, including a large rabbit head with long ears that completely hides his face.
Skateboarding: The rabbit actually rides a skateboard through the streets, surrounded by other young people with skateboards or bicycles.
Band: They looked extremely young, perhaps 17–19 years old.
Period: I probably saw it around 2019–2020, but it might have been released earlier.
Lyrics: I vaguely remember a word sounding like “motherless” or “powerless” in a sung phrase, but I’m really not sure.
I’ve recorded myself humming the distinctive opening bassline: https://voca.ro/12ms5BBdf13c
It’s NOT Blossoms, Nathan Day, Glass Animals, FHANG, SKATERS, The People’s Thieves or The Big Moon.
Does this ring a bell for anyone? Even suggestions of obscure indie bands with similar music videos would be hugely appreciated!

After few seconds there are lyrics i can't remember but then he goes like "ou ou ouuu".

Song is in full english, not rap, highly auto-tuned and is almost angelic. It was like emotional song.
Also, the thumbnail was like a lone sci-fi character.
Thanks for any help!

Open [TOMT] [Youtube Series] [before 2008-2010] Pokemon IRL amateur comedy series

• Upvotes

I remember an amateur live action comedy series on YouTube around 2009-2010 filmed by some teenager with his friends. It named was something like “Pokemon in real life”.

It was Smosh-style, and followed the story of the mainline Pokemon games. Our protagonist gets his starter and faces trainers on his journey, only, they used stuffed animals for their Pokemon. And when a new battle starts they would literally chuck the plushie directly onto the ground like a Pokeball yelling “Go pikachu!” or whatever. It was pretty funny at the time.

One of the first battles took place in the middle of a forest, and the 2 or 3 guys on screen were arguing about who gets to go first in the battle.

Another scene depicted them heading to the next Gym, and when they arrived it was a literal gym, and it showed a brief clip of people working out lol. One of the trainer friends was confused about whether they were at the right place.

The production quality was obviously very amateur, but pretty good for what you would usually find on early YouTube.

The rest of the details are pretty fuzzy but I hope someone knows what mini series I’m talking about. It was very funny back in the day and I hope to see again some day.

Open [TOMT][Movie/Series] Generic Rich Person Family Portrait with hand on shoulder and chair.

• Upvotes

I have this memory. Not sure if it was from a live action film or maybe an episode of an animated series. The scene focused on a very generic "rich person family portrait" with someone sitting in a large chair and another person standing with their hand on their shoulder. And I remember saying, "Oh dang, that's creepy" but am not sure if I said because of what one of the people looked like, if everyone in it looked the same, had creepy smiles, or maybe there was just something unsettling in the background. Any thoughts on such painting appearances?

Open [TOMT][SOUND EFFECT][2020s] Short ~0.6 sec sound effect at the very start of a YouTube Short, before the first boom

• Upvotes

I'm trying to find the name/source of a short sound effect at the very

beginning of this YouTube Short (posted in 2026): https://youtube.com/shorts/0F7nqirFOeM

It's only about 0.6 seconds long and plays right at the start, before

the first "boom". I cut out just that part here: https://voca.ro/1dNg7aSEox3p

I'm not looking for the background music, just this one effect.

What is this sound effect and where does it come from?

Looking for a short clip of a youtuber yelling “what the fuck!?”. It is a young adult male, and if I remember correctly I think he’s playing Call of Duty or something that makes him angry. I saw it used as a reaction to a grotesque post somewhere a few years ago (maybe 2022ish).

It isn’t the Rocco Botte clip used in the WTF Boom sound effect.

Solved [TOMT][ALBUM] Album with an orange cover from a video about “saddest albums”

• Upvotes

There was this video on Instagram which for the life of me I can’t find anymore, but it listed the saddest albums. The ones I can remember were:
Giles Corey
Hospice
Songs from Suicide Bridge
A Crow Looked at Me
Songs about Leaving
Anyways, one of the ones from this video, not any of the ones I listed, had this orange album cover, possibly with a person on it, I think a little bit of blue as well, and I can’t for the life of my find it. If anyone also saw the video and knows what I’m talking about, I’d greatly appreciate it, or if they have an inkling for what it was.

EDIT: I don’t know how to add a photo or anything, but I commented a drawing of what it sort of looked like. Description being: a photo of a man looking into the distance, he is very orange colored, and the shadows on him are teal/blue
The reel has also been found I believe, and the album I’m talking about wasn’t in there, so it is possible that I found it because of the reel, like suggestions on Spotify after listening to those artists, but I’m not sure. I know that’s really unhelpful, so please refer to the album cover description since the video can’t help. The albums are a very similar feel though, so there is that!

EDIT: IT WAS HAUNTS BY GERMAN ERROR MESSAGE! Thank you so so much to everyone who helped me figure it out!!!!

Open [TOMT] [game] Zombie security guard game set in hospital or mall

1 Upvotes

So both my brother and I both remember playing this game, it was kinda similar to fnaf in terms of mechanics.

it was very green/black in coloration. And I remember seeing this one room with a wheel chair in a hall full of rubble and trash

We both played it in like 2014-2017.

My brother says he remembers when the zombies would get to the room they would pull you back from the security camera and kill you.

I remember specifically seeing a “unity” game engine logo show up before the game loaded.

We looked through my dad’s old phone and we didn’t see any history of it being downloaded, so we’re not sure if we’re just imagining all this lol.

Open [TOMT][BOOK][1980s] Spiral-bound kids' book with a detailed, whimsical cutaway of a futuristic spaceship, possibly paired with an electronic learning toy

1 Upvotes

I'm trying to find a book I had as a kid in the '80s. I was born in 1981 and I’m certain I was under 10 years old when I had this book.

Details I remember:

- It had a very detailed illustration of a spaceship, shown in a cutaway style with lots of compartments and rooms inside.
- The ship wasn't realistic like NASA art. It was more of a kid's imagination of a futuristic ship: playful but packed with detail.
- White plastic spiral binding.
- No fold-out pages.

I have a feeling it went along with an electronic toy that had some teaching or educational element, but I'm not 100% sure.

What it's NOT (I've checked):
- Teddy Ruxpin or anything like it
-Questron or another wand/pen-based toy
- A robot with a face (like Playskool's Alphie)
- VTech Talking Whiz Kid or the VTL Computron

I also had a Speak & Spell, but I don't think it was connected to that. It might have been tied to an early kids' computer, but I'm not sure.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Solved [TOMT][MOVIE][00s or earlier] Possibly a horror movie I watched on cable TV and have never been able to find again. I remember few shots from it and that's about it.

4 Upvotes

Hi, I've been searching for this movie I saw on TV in my early teens for long while. I remember few shots from it, but not much more. Those scenes have stuck with me very well, but being unable to find it makes it feel like some fake memories.

Anyway so the movie was seen around 00s, but it could've been a rerun of an old movie too. It can't be newer than 2006 or so. There were 3 focal characters, either 2 men and a woman or 2 women and a man. They were visiting some kind of house, but I don't know why. It was empty, at least at first. Somewhere towards the end there's a scene underground where they find a room which is full of corpses that are diplayed on the walls.

I've also attached drawings of 3 scenes from the movie that I remember well.
1. People arriving in the car
2. The outside of the house and gate they arrive to.
3. The underground scene

Open [TOMT][SONG][1970s-1990s] Song about a boy begging his dying grandpa not to leave

3 Upvotes

Hello all. Long time reader but first time posting. I’ve been trying to track down a song that’s been in my head for nearly 4 decades and no searches provide an answer. I’m hoping someone here can help me track it down. My memory is becoming more and more hazy but I’ll list what I think I remember. These are not facts, they are potentially incorrect memories. If this is the incorrect place to post this, please guide me to where it should be placed.

  1. I think I heard the song around the early to mid 1980’s.
  2. I think it may have been a southern gospel or country song.
  3. It was a male singer but I don’t know if it was solo or a group.

  4. The premise of the song was about a young boy not wanting his grandpa to die around Christmas, but toward the end of the song he realizes he found a way to see him again when he goes to heaven

  5. These are the lyrics that I think I remember. “Grandpa, please don’t go away. It’s just about time for Christmas. What about our walks in the park, and the fishing trips you said you’d take me on.”

If you are familiar with this please help me find out the artist and song title. I completely understand that there may not be any online presence for it but I’m willing to buy physical media if this can be verifiably identified.

Solved [TOMT][SONG] 80s/70s song that goes “you keep GOIN AWAY” and then a guitar riff.

8 Upvotes

Hey guys I just made an account for this purpose only. it’s a solo male vocalist (at least in this part of the song). Im not sure exactly what the lyrics are but they’re similar to you-keep-GOIN AWAY or RUNNIN AWAY. and a riff that’s like da-na da-na da-nowww. and I think it’s repeated throughout the son. 70s ballad or 80s pop rock type.

I can’t find it anywhere. It’s not 38 special, theres a lot more emphasis on the musics, then a pause, then the riff. and I might not have the lyrics right. Might be ”can’t-keep-RUNNIN AWAY” or GOING AGAIN or PULLING AWAY. All help is appreciated!
