One time I was watching an episode of the Simpsons, at the end of which a song played, I found myself strangely singing along to it, despite not remembering where on earth I could have heard it.
A google search later, and I was surprised to discover it was the opening theme for "Perfect Strangers", which if anyone remembers, was a comedy show that ran back in the 90s (Thank you KTV2).
Anyway, I could not find the opening theme :(
What I usually do is enter the following search string on google:
(name of song) site:www.4shared.com
which usually works, you are taken to the accounts of people who have uploaded said song onto their virtual drives, and are allowed to download off them. However, this does not always work.
So now, there is a second Option.
Zamar, the Free online file converter!
I first came across Zamzar when a friend pointed me there, I needed to convert an xlsx file (Excel 2007) into an xls file (old Excel). Then I found out that the possible combinations are limitless. Whats best is their video download.
Alot of programs claim to be youtube video downloaders, although the majority of them are merely fronts for trojan horses and backdoors, and as I am skeptic of all programs that are not freeware and ask you to download a toolbar, I shy away from them.
With Zamzar however, you do not install anything. You merely go to the website, click on the download videos tab, paste the link from youtube (only works with youtube vids though), then select what you wish to convert the file into. You could make it a video, meaning it would be a large file, or an mp3, making it smaller.
I convert youtube vids into mp3s when they are songs I want to listen to on the go. You upload the vid to their site (if you scroll down after you click convert you will see the conversion bar working), they will then send you a link to your email (with a 24-hour expiry), which you follow and bada-bing-bada-boom, you have just made music :)

I know that tune from "perfect Strangers"!! Omg, good times!!
Thanks for the site!
hahhaha yeah I use the website very often
I usually do the same when I'm searching for a song , always put 4shared or sometimes mediafire cuz I don't like to wait but its a funny way of searching lol ..
my pleasure DG! i still remember the episode where Balky & Marry Ann broke up, and he started dating chick who is her exaact clone called Honey, and she dated a guy who looked exactly like him! loved that show,,
Dee: Mediafire is the best! but its not as easy to search on as 4shared :/
its the new "limewire" of the internet, remember when some SOB started putting looped songs, where the chorus would just repeat over and over, as a way to protect intellectual property.
we showed them!
