MTV and VH1 background music songs

Ok Guys

A long time ago ( maybe around 2005 or 2004) There was a list made of the songs that played in the background of alot of Mtv shows such as

Mtv Cribs
Real World
Mtv Commercials
Mtv Specials
Room Raiders

Most of the songs you hear were on that list and at one time I had a link to it.

Sadly I lost the link : (

So I want to create a new list of music that you hear often in the background of Mtv shows. ANY SHOW. Just put it down here so I can add it to the list. This will help others maybe find the song they were looking for or even find some songs that they forgot about.

I'll start

Fatbot Slim: Weapon of Choice
The Strokes: Someday
 
Fatbot Slim: "Weapon of Choice"
The Strokes: "Someday"
Black eye peas : "Hey Mama"
Fatboy Slim: "Gangsta Trippin"
Westside Connection: "Gangsta Nation"
 
Guess what guys I did some personal digging and I found the forum I was lloking for that I lost

MTV now uses music from The Pump Audio Box, which consists of lesser known indie artists. The older list no longer applies, so I'll post the few new songs that I've heard and can identify.

"A Step In the Right Direction"- The Perfect Mistake

"Another Day"- Blacktop Mourning
"Fell Into"- Jackson United
"Strange Way"- Honestly
"100's and 1000's of Stars"- The Class of 98
"This Girl's Attractive"- Diamond Nights
"Destination Diamonds"- Diamond Nights
"I'm Not Leaving"- Copperpot
"Show Me"- The Dirty Novels
"Behind You"- Northmont
"Not So Goodbye"- The Churchills
"Help Is On the Way"- Goodbye Blue Monday
"Let It Out"- Crash Boom Bang
"Your Heart"- Abbington
"All Caught Up"- Washington Lane
"You Better Believe It"- The Stereo
"The Giant"- Fielding
"Hex"- All Parallels
"Don't Say Uncle"- The Stereo
"100 Years War"- The States
"Sweet Yesterday"- Amory

I can't find a place online to listen to some of these songs to see if I recongize them. Where can I find some audio samples? I tried Amazon, Towerrecords, and Napster with no results.

Oh I also wanted to add anither song to the list it:

Radio 4 "Absolute Affirmation"

They used it a lot on the Ashely Simpson show. Pretty catchy rift.
 
The Myspace Music worked, but are you sure Mtv uses these? None of these songs sound familur at all. Can you give me an example of a show that uses some of these songs?
 
Is there any chance that someone knows if one of those songs is played at the end of the second episode of this season's Making The Band 3? I've asked around on other message boards and no one seems to know.
 
I Wanna Be You/ Parental Control

Fell Into- Jackson United
Another Day- Blacktop Mourning (always played towards the end of the show when they meet Nick Zano to discuss the experience)
Show Me- Dirty Novels
Destination Diamonds- Diamond Nights

MTV2 All Things Rock Awards

This Girl's Attractive- Diamond Nights

Making The Band 3 (Season 2/3)

Not So Goodbye- The Churchills
Behind You- Northmont
My First Crime- Blacktop Mourning
This Girl's Attractive- Diamond Nights

RW/RR Freshmeat Challenge

I'm Not Leaving- Copperpot (when Coral and Evan were doing the first mission)

Real World Key West

Summer Away- Aloha
Help Is On the Way- Goodbye Blue Monday (episode when Tyler forgets to pick up Jose from the gym)
Behind You- Northmont

Pump Audio is the company that provides most of the background music for MTV. Pump Audio recently announced that they're opening their music catalog to normal consumers, so maybe you could request an invite to preview the new MyPump service to see if they have they tracks you want.
