Okay, time to crowdsource. I am looking for a specific song. It comes up on Pandora for me sometimes, but I don't recall the artist's name. Believe it or not, but Google is failing me. I even tried Bing.

The song's title I believe is, "You Say[Said?] I Told You So." The lyrics go something a little like this:

I do not like going to the dentist.
I do not like his hands inside my mouth.
You told me [something, something]
And you said it again when all my teeth fell out.

I do not like going to the doctor
[something, something] I scream and pout
[something, something]
And I came down with the gout

Chorus with some additional variants
"You said I told you so"
Next time, dummy, just listen to me.

Sadly I cannot quite nail down the rest of the lyrics. The singer also goes out at all hours of the night, which annoys the partner.

So hell with it; I'm asking for help. I consider my Google Fu to be strong, but it's failing me here.

Yes! You win a cookie! I ate it. It would have just crumbled in transit anyway.

How did you manage to find that? I was inundated with country songs when searching for variants of "I told you so." I even added the words "gout" and "dentist."

Incidentally, I'm not entirely sure what came up when I searched for "put his hands inside my mouth," but I think those results were NSFW so I quickly went back.

I believe I searched for [dentist told you so lyrics]. I found a reddit thread where somebody was looking for the same song. But yeah, Google by itself was pretty worthless without the band name.

Crowdsourcing is magic. Once, I spent 2 days trying to look up a particular song from Youtube with no luck. (The original account hosting it was made private, and it's very hard to search for a song when the video title was all in Japanese you don't remember.) I asked the relevant corner of the Internet, and they found it in 2 hours.

/r/tipofmytongue is subreddit that is committed to solving finding songs, games, videos, whatevers that you can't remmember exactly, and it is pretty awesome.

Since that worked out so well, I have another one. It's an older song, probably from the '80s. It goes something like:

Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it
We know the game and we're gonna play it

Earlier, there's a reference to "you know the rules and so do I."

I think this is what you're referring to?

Or this one.

I think the song is Sandstorm by Darude.

This is now a thing.

I'm trying to remember a particular film studio.  No idea of the logo, I just have the tune stuck in my head.
So, long shot.
But it's a tinkly piano noise to start, starting slowly at a high pitch, then lowering in pitch and getting faster and faster before merging into a big chord. 
Not useful?  Here's my best approximate to what it sounds like.

First to name the film studio gets, I dunno, 5 +1s.

Is it this?

[Haddock]

Ugh, Warner was one of my first thoughts, but I assumed I was wrong because this:



But thanks Mic.

Touché on the first one. I'm not hip enough for the second one.
