Help me find the Mysterious cowboy song that time forgot
Okay Internets, I've hit a brick wall and I need your help. I have a song stuck in my head that's been there for longer than I can remember and no matter what I try, I can't find it. It's an electro dance(ish) song from the 90s. (Prob mid to late 90s)
He's a cowboy!
Oh and it's about Cowboys and riding a horse...
Oh holy hell it's taken two years but I've finally found it!! 2016 EDIT: THE SONG HAS BEEN FOUND!
Thanks to the man of the music Richard Kingsmill from Triple J, it's been ID'd! A few hours after I tweeted him my problem (and this page) he made my month by revealing it's....COWBOY '78 by THE WISE GUYS!
And amazingly pretty much everything I recall about it is bang on!
Thanks Richard!!!
Okay here's what I remember: - Triple J the radio station in Australia played it a bit. That's where I heard it. - The only lyrics I can remember are 'Cowboy, cowboy, cowboy, cowboy, he's a cowboy' and 'Get on your horse, lets ride' (said with vocal effect from memory.) - I'm not the only one looking for it (and this proves I'm not going nuts too!) - I think there were gunshots in it? - It's not Texas Cowboy by the Grid. I had my hopes up there for a minute.
Not this song.
- I tried Shazam with the lyrics and it looked at me stupidly. - I haven't heard it since the 90's but I wish I could. Anyone got any ideas at all??
2016 UPDATE:
Still looking but I thought to make it easier, I'd list the songs that I've checked out that it's not.
A-LOVE - COWBOYS (TOO NEW) BOYS DON'T CRY - I WANNA BE A COWBOY (HA HA NO)
ELECTRO-SCHMITT - COWBOY STORY (TOO NEW)
GOLDFRAPP - RIDE A WHITE HORSE (TOO NEW) HUSKY RESCUES - SUMMERTIME COWBOY (TOO NEW)
ICE MC - OK CORRAL
JONZUN CREW - SPACE COWBOY
PAULA COLE - WHERE HAVE ALL THE COWBOYS GONE? PET SHOP BOYS - GO WEST (NO..) PORTISHEAD - COWBOYS (GREAT SONG BUT NO..)
The whistle song? What's it about? Read on! Controversial I know but I'm about to reveal the true meaning behind the Whistle song by Flo Rida. Why? Because I'm getting the general feeling that people around me are really missing the true spirit of Mr Rida's epic masterpiece... We're getting right into the real Flo, yo. After all this time, it's still all about that wisal baby song!
Now maybe it's just me and maybe I've read far too much into the Warhammer 40K lore and universe...but I'm seeing a lot of parallels between it and the now available on Netflix movie Mortal Engines..
It's been a while between scam emails - life has been life, work has been hectic, I've been grunting and sweating my way through my exercise sessions and so I've been putting responding to random idiots through my email on the back burner. Until today when I was kindly asked not to 'ignore this massage.' I hope it's a hot stone one! Trust me, I NEVER ignore a massage. Better set the record straight then...
