Song Help Please


Hello I need help about a song. You know the part of the movie right after Marcus (Eddie Murphy) gets suspended from his job and there are the televisions in the background and he's just standing there it sounds like a jazz song or a instrumental. Really would appreciate the help, thank you.

I'm not sure, but could you mean "I'd Die Without You" by P.M. Dawn? Your description of the song seems to match that song's sound.

Yeah thanks alot! I used to rewind the movie a couple times during the intro! Then it plays it again later in the movie. But I love that instrumental jazz piece! It's smoooooooth like Gary Coleman, lol!

reply

Thank you so much for providing the info. That is a wonderful song just to kick back and bob your head to. Raphael Saddiq singing in the background. It's on Amazon. Type in M2. Thank you thank you thank you.

reply

That song is actually the movie's theme, and is also played during the opening credits. The title, appropriately, is "Boomerang" and was written by bassist Marcus Miller, who did the film's soundtrack. A version of the song with lyrics appears on Miller's CD "M2".

My beautiful girlfriend just told me she's been looking for that song sine 1992 and even bought the soundtrack for it hoping it'd be on there... which it isn't I sure hope your answers will please her. Thanks in advance.

You guys are awesome! I've been looking for this song too for years and now I found it. Too bad it's not on iTunes though, but I'll buy the entire CD.

reply

My gf downloaded it from eMule.
Too bad she cant find an instrumental version anywhere.
