February 12

Name this song

The song is in the country genre and the last line of the chorus is "Goodbye, goodbye." I fail to recall the name of this song. Any help would be appreciated. 147.126.10.21 (talk) 03:59, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

Quite a few country songs end with "Goodbye, goodbye" -- the first one that comes to my mind is "Two Black Cadillacs" by Taylor Swift, but do you have any additional info? 2601:646:8E01:7E0B:F88D:DE34:7772:8E5B (talk) 10:12, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

See below. I don't have any additional info that comes to mind. 147.126.10.21 (talk) 18:06, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

Two Black Cadillacs is Carrie Underwood, not Taylor Swift. --Jayron32 02:28, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

Approx. time period? 50s? 60s? etc Male / Female performer? Currently on the radio: oldies or contemporary? Helps to narrow it down. Maineartists (talk) 13:58, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

I wouldn't know the time period—if I were to guess, I'd say '80s or '90s, but I'm not that well-versed in music. The performer is male; not sure about oldies/contemporary. 147.126.10.21 (talk) 18:06, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

This isn't "Porpoise Song (Theme from Head)" by The Monkees, by any chance? The chorus ends with "goodbye, goodbye" but I wouldn't call it a country song. youtube --Viennese Waltz 08:51, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

groundhog day loop mystery music video

I just looked in the trope page and it's not there but it's basically a guy in an american jeep, ford bronco or something 3 door, i'm not sure but it was 3 door and boxy, late 70s to 80s american jeep. I'm positive it takes place in canada or america, there is either snowstorm or a rainstorm-y weather and he basically re-lives an accident... again and again with minor changes each time, like dropping something and then the 3rd time he does something else, but a loop, time loop...but it always ends with him getting hit by a train after crossing tracks... but continues to change a bit until he manages to STOP and see the train pass. It was from the 2000s i'm sure, and most likely american or canadian. 212.30.205.63 (talk) 20:23, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

So you mean a movie with a premise similar to Groundhog Day, but not Groundhog Day itself? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 21:03, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

No, but it's similar. it's a time loop with minor changes every time it resets but it's a music video, not a movie. 212.30.205.63 (talk) 21:28, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

I'm really intrigued by this since you are stating that it's a music video (which normally lasts 4-6 minutes at the most. Quite a short period of time to tell the story you are describing. The plot sounds very familiar to the movie: Source Code. But I know you said it wasn't a movie. Do you remember the song? Maineartists (talk) 22:22, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

Googling music video like groundhog day -wale eventually got me to this. I can't comment on the actual subject of the vid as Skrillex causes me physical pain, but the premise seems close. Matt Deres (talk) 02:17, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
