ITT: songs that caught your ear, but couldn't recognize
Mine: There were lots of trumpets/horns, there was a guy singing in Finnish/Nordic/European language, the song was pretty long (maybe 20 minutes or so), and it was one of those buildup songs where the same melody gets repeated and gets more intense towards the end. That's all I can really remember...

As dumb as this thread looked to me in premise (I usually use google on a couple lyrics), I actually have a song identification problem I was thinking of sneaking into some other thread. I was attempting to listen to Duran Duran, and failing miserably. I realized their songs would be good if they stripped off the layers and layers of bad synthesizers, random sound effects, and other crap. But in any case, I remember the hook from one of their songs. One I think is theirs, at least. I was watching Whose Line is it Anyway on Youtube, Chip and Wayne were doing Song Styles, and the artist they were imitating was Duran Duran. Suddenly Chip goes "Doot Doot doo doo doot doo doo..." etc. Needless to say, that's pretty hard to Google. I like the hook, at least (and remember it from long ago, I wasn't just randomly suddenly hooked). If I could hear the whole song, I'd be able to determine whether I liked it. I tried to search, but just got this recent sucky Duran Duran song with "doot doo's" in a completely different melody. It was called Summer something something.
And as for the Harun, I have no idea which song that is, nor would I ever have a chance of guessing, based on my music preferences. This is the answer I expect to get from my own inquiry, but this thread was already here, convenient.
So this thread would be very good, I think, if this were a more common problem. I know that what I do, when I hear a song I like, is just try to remember a unique line or two. Only rarely does that not work. I can see how that'd be worse with a song in a different language.
