Muscial Piece in the song Gone Til November by Wyclef Jean

Does anyone know the name of the musical piece (orchastral) that is in the background of Gone Til November song by Wyclef Jean? - --Juliet 18:13, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The title of this song or artist?

My wife and I have been trying to figure out the title of this song for some time. We only know a few lyrics, but I can give some other information about it.

The song was released between 2001-2003, it an R&B singer, probably a black woman, however the song included at least one or more men. It told the story of a man going to a party of some sort and meeting a girl he knew in high school who was a stripper at the party. And she (the singer) talks about how terrible her life is and the only lyric we know is the chorus:

For you this is just one night For me this is my whole life

Those are paraphrases perhaps, but we've tried to find it on google for a while and even through lists of R&B artists and still cannot find it, any help or hints are appreciated. -Anthonysenn 18:40, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It was by City High, What Would You Do? (City High song). Here's a link to the lyrics: http://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/life/whatwouldyoudo.htm - --Juliet 19:08, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

REPOST Mars Volta Fan Suicide Video

Mars Volta Fan Suicide Video

a while back like 4 years ago i found a video of a fan commiting "suicide" to the song intertiatic esp and i found the video very interesting, the suicide from what i could tell was not real but i would like to have a copy of the video and i have looked everywhere for it but to no avail. does anyone have it or know where i can get it? it was a video of him walking around in the dark for a while and then one scene of him in a forest? seems like wintertime with no or little leaves on the trees in maybe a northern region of the US and him hanging himself, or at least that's what he was trying to make it look like. anyone know what keywords i can put into a p2p or anything of that sort in order to get this video? 200.35.168.129 22:28, 10 April 2007 (UTC) Ag for MemTech

Who is "Sherry"

Does anyone know who inspired the song Sherry? Written by Bob Gaudia of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. Someone I know claims it was about their Mother. Any one know if it was a song inspired by a real person? If so, is there any description of this person known?

That likely comes from the Broadway play, which very loosely based on fact. The song was initially titled "Terry" - as a filler. In rehersal, it was changed to "Peri" because it sounded better than "Terry". The producer suggested "Jackie" in reference to Jackie Kennedy, but it sounded poor. Jack Spector suggested "Cheri", his daughter's name. That was changed to an easier-to-sing "Sherry". see here --Kainaw ^(talk) 13:40, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, there is no such claim in the play. Corvus cornix 20:42, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rap...please die!

Is it likely that sooner or later Rap will be banned and or controled by the FCC?--Otaku125956573 17:01, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect not. Rap is merely music and whilst there is pressure to 'ban' music that glorifies violence you would be hard pushed to do that in any meaningful way without banning film/books/tv/speeches that do the same. I would look at the wide variety of rap music styles a little closer. They can range from promoting respectable behaviour, through stories about love/heartache all the way towards 'gangsta' rap. As Arrested Development once sang..."Here have a dollar, infact nah brother man here have two, two dollars means a snack to me but it means a big deal to you". Or maybe Jay-Z with "I came I saw I conquered, gold record sales, sold out concerts". Anywhere that can work veni, vidi, vici by Caesar into a rap song shows (to me at least) that rap is much more expressive and intelligent than many of the public give it credit for. ny156uk 17:08, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

To add to ny156uk's comments, the FCC has no authority to regulate rap or any other form of music. According to the FCC article the agency "...is charged with regulating all non-Federal Government use of the radio spectrum (including radio and television broadcasting), and all interstate telecommunications (wire, satellite and cable) as well as all international communications that originate or terminate in the United States." Barring a broad extension of the FCC's powers, which IMHO would be doubleplusungood, it is quite unlikely they will be banning any form of music. 161.222.160.8 22:39, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They certainly could ban music encouraging violence from being broadcast by radio, however. It also wouldn't be unreasonable for the FCC to ban such satellite transmissions. Banning Internet and especially music store sales, on the other hand, would be well beyond their mandate. StuRat 01:57, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Song "two people touching...

looking for a song sounds similair to love moments by Justin Robertson but the lyrics as far as i can remember a

"two people kissing me then kissing each other."

it oncew played on Fashion TV

its kinda ambient electronica. pretty obscure song would be happy if anyone gets it! 89.243.57.73 18:18, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like it's "2 People" by Jean Jacques Smoothie. The lyrics are "Two people, just meeting/barely touching each other". — Matt Eason ^{(Talk  Contribs)} 11:41, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Insurance and charities

If no one did any charity telethons to raise money for the victims of the 2007 Solomon Islands earthquake and the Greensburg tornado, what does insurance have to do with the telethons? Aren't goods and services donated for those types of things?72.229.130.76 21:22, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think insurance has anything to do with telethons directly. At the same time I am not sure what you are asking. Can you provide some context? 161.222.160.8 00:16, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

help

hey i need help. 1.am looking for a celebrity couple.the chick is rumoured to be jewish and the guy was a hit in the eighties with mny cool movies to his name.the source of the trivia was from wikipedia.i have tried but keep on reaching a dead end. 2.whats the differncr between an mp3 cd and a normal auio cd.

In answer to question 2, the songs on a normal CD are encoded in Red Book format, while on an MP3 CD, they are encoded in MP3, WMA or ATRAC formats. Basically, it's easier to make an MP3 CD than a Red Book CD with a home computer, but not all CD players will play the MP3 CD. The MP3 CD concept is going out of fashion, as many hi-fis now have USB ports to allow you to plug an MP3 player or USB flash drive in and play that instead. Laïka 09:52, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There are certainly several answers to question 1, but one Jewish celebrity fitting the description (if you accept the word "chick" for women) is Sarah Jessica Parker, married to Matthew Broderick who starred in a couple of "cool" movies in the eighties. Patricia Arquette, Jewish by matrilinearity, was once married to Nicolas Cage, who definitely starred in a couple of cool movies in the eighties. ---Sluzzelin talk 14:09, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comic Books and All Caps?

Why is it that comic books and webcomics are written in all capital letters?

--Grey1618 17:51, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's generally easier to read all caps, especially at a small size/low resolution. StuRat 19:30, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's not true. Lower case is easier to read. This question was asked last month; see the discussion here. --Richardrj ^talk ^email 20:03, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The idea that "lower case is easier to read" is one that's only been put forward in recent decades. Even if it's actually true (I for one think it's overstated), comic books have been around for longer than that, so StuRat's answer could still be correct as well. --Anonymous, May 19, 2007, 22:03 (UTC).

I'm not sure how widespread it is, but bear in mind that some comic books use capitals and lowercase as with normal text: From Hell, for example. Algebraist 20:16, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Looking for a game

I'm looking for a video game that meets that following criteria:

Is fun with single player
Not too much graphics power needed
Good single player story
Long enough play time (15+ hours)
Good graphics
Exciting (e.g. Half Life 2)
Relatively new (not more than 2 years)

I thought that I might as well ask here, thanks, Jeffrey.Kleykamp 20:38, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You might wish to clarify which console or format you are interested in. Rockpocket 23:28, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

PC or Xbox 360, with Xbox 360 criteria #2 falls out. Jeffrey.Kleykamp 23:33, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gears of War was well received and appears to meet most of your subjective criteria. [3] Rockpocket 23:52, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I agree, however, it isn't very long (and therefore failing #4), I beat it in 3 days of an average of 4 hours per day the first time around (i.e. 12 hour game time). Jeffrey.Kleykamp 00:13, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

F.E.A.R., perhaps? Carom 15:42, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest Call of Duty 2. Halo for PC also comes to mind, but it's been out for a pretty long time. On a related note, Halo 2 is coming out soon, but it's only for Vista. bibliomaniac 1 5 23:50, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

1 and 6 are really opinion based though. If you're into strategy/RTS, Space Rangers (video game) has pretty good reviews (90%+ ratings from what I've seen), and it seems to be a good game, though I didn't play it much yet. --Wirbelwindヴィルヴェルヴィント (talk) 08:28, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Have a look a Deus Ex - best single-player story line I've ever encountered in a game, released in 2000 (granted, it's quite a bit older than two years, but it still looks okay and is not too hardware-hungry), and will keep you occupied for at least 30 hours -- Ferkelparade π 08:26, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I second Deus Ex. Have a look at the articles for Hitman: Blood Money, Knights of the Old Republic and Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion too. Then there's the obvious Half-life 2: Episode One. Down M. 23:41, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dues Ex is an excellent game with multiple endings and LOTS of content that combines FPS and RPG elements very well. Deus Ex: Invisible War was not as good. It was a good game, but don't think it's a substitute for the original. Anynobody 03:00, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Marks on film

Recently, I've been noticing strange marks that occasionally appear for a few frames in films I've been watching in the cinema. Unlike cue marks, these appear in the centre of the screen in the form of small greenish-brown grey ovals in a pattern similar to this:

       <> <> <>
       <>    <>
       <> <> 
       <>

I dimly recall seeing an image of these marks online somewhere, possibly on Wikipedia. I'd appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction for finding out what these marks are (audio sync cues? reel ID tags?). Thanks. --Aramգուտանգ 07:15, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

what's the song/track in the may 2007 orange advert

it's a recording of a girl, it starts "i like conversations..."

and features a girl dancing and what she is saying/singing is acted out with other people and props.

it's been played on television only in the last month i think (may 2007) that's all i know, but i really like the lyrics ! even if i can't have the song i'd like to know what the lyrics are. i've searched everywhere !

(http://www.commercialbreaksandbeats.co.uk/results.asp?searchString=orange) is a site that lists advert music. Orange (or the advertising agency they employ) seem to always pick wonderful songs for their adverts. The Funky Low Lives track is excellent, though it is instrumental (at least the version I have is). ny156uk 21:31, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

U.S. Federal Anti-piracy regulations

When recently viewing a movie at a Regal IMAX theater, the usher stated (I paraphrase from memory) "Federal Anti-piracy regulations require that you turn off all electronic devices." I would like to know if this is true or not. So, does U.S. Federal Law require that all electronic devices be turned off before the start of a motion picture? (I facetiously pointed out that all wristwatches and pacemakers would have to be powered down as well.) Please post a link to the relevant U.S. Code. thank you. --Rajah 06:23, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I only know about the Family Entertainment and Copyright Act of 2005, which makes it illegal to record or transmit a movie using a camcorder or similar device (a camera, phone, etc...) If you could figure out how to record or transmit a movie with a wristwatch or pacemaker, you'd be required to turn it off. However, it doesn't matter. Nobody turns anything off. If you've actually been to a movie in the last 10 years, you already know that at least half the audience spends the whole movie shining their cell phone's screen in your face while they check messages and text their friends. --Kainaw ^(talk) 12:29, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes the usher phrased it incorrectly, anti-piracy should have been copyright; Federal copyright regulations. However the point that you can't record the IMAX movie is accurate according to US Code TITLE 17 > CHAPTER 1 > § 102 which basically says it's a violation of copyright law to record:

(1) literary works;
(2) musical works, including any accompanying words;
(3) dramatic works, including any accompanying music;
(4) pantomimes and choreographic works;
(5) pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works;
(6) motion pictures and other audiovisual works;
(7) sound recordings; and
(8) architectural works.

It also points out that the law applies to current and future technology, so if tomorrow a new type of recorder could capture the experience of the IMAX movie in a new and unknown way it'd still be illegal.

It's just easier to tell everyone to shut off their phones and devices rather than check each one for recording capability. Anynobody 02:48, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wouldn't it just be illegal to USE it. I mean cell phones have cameras in them now but I would think it is only illegal when you are using the recording feature. The law doesn't require the device to be off, just not used to reproduce the material. The theater would be the one requiring you to shut it off. Robert Beck 19:56, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Les Fatals Picards

What does Les Fatals Picards mean in English? "The deadly sword"? (I have never read any French.) --130.236.217.186 12:37, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I personally haven't seen "picard" used as "sword". It refers to people from Picardie. --Kainaw ^(talk) 14:48, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unless fatal has a slang meaning, I can't see any better translation than The Picard Fatals or The Picard Inevitables. —Tamfang 15:45, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

TOP TEN MOVIES AT U.S. BOXOFFICE BY YEAR

Is there a source for finding the top 10 movies at the U.S> box office by year from 1915 - present?

Well, there are articles for each year in film, e.g. 1939 in film, which list the top grossing films, but it's a bit hit and miss. Some years show 10, some less, others none at all, and none of them give actual numbers as far as I can see. Clarityfiend 23:45, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Claymation question

I was watching the Wallace & Grommit movie again last weekend- the one with the were-rabbit. It got me thinking and wondering how in Claymation the animators accomplish the effect of a mouth full of teeth, when a character is talking. That is, as a character is 'talking', for example, if Wallace says something like "Let's go, Grommit!", his mouth will open wide, be seen to be full of teeth, then narrow down to make the "oo" sound, then open wide and be full of teeth again. How do they do that? Where do the teeth go? Are they an insert that is put in place in the character's head? Are they in there all the time? Do they even use clay for making the characters any more? 71.113.118.52 01:22, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is my understanding that with this type of work there are several different models of the head to aid in showing a variety of expressions.--Pharos 03:07, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, this is a common technique. StuRat 08:43, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

For the original Wallace and Gromit films, and presumably Curse of the Were-Rabbit too, it's only the character's mouth that's replaced - the rest of the head stays in place. The animators have boxes of mouths for each character, divided into compartments labelled with things like "E, EE, A and I" and "K, R and N (teeth overlap)". When the mouth shape needs to change the animator carefully removes the old mouth and slides the new one into place. A tool is used to smooth down the edges; the animator has to be very careful to ensure the change isn't obvious. That said, some animators prefer to manipulate the head as a whole, changing the shape of the mouth in situ. It's extremely painstaking work, but then everything in animation is.

If you're interested in the animation process that Aardman go through, I can highly recommend their book "Cracking Animation", which is where I got this information from. — Matt Eason ^{(Talk  Contribs)} 15:19, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Looking for name of song; saw video last week

I saw a video on MTV (US) last week, and didn't check to see who sang it or what the name of it was until it was too late. Unlike most of the hip hop and pop songs, this song had a Latin American sound to it. It was filmed in black and white, and featured a seated male/female duet playing acoustic guitars. The guitars were frequently played by beating on them, like a drum. Sometimes, the camera angle was if the camera was mounted on the neck of the guitar. Towards the end of the video, several guitars were smashed to smithereens. Any ideas? Travisl 04:27, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mysterious Movie

About 10-12 years ago, I saw this movie that I forgot to ask the name of. It was a foriegn film with English subtitles, and I only remember 2 scenes of it. One scene is where a boy comes out a donkey's butt,and either says "Were's my hat" or "Give me back my hat", and then the donkey gave the boy's hat back the same way the boy came. Another scene was when a bunch of aliens (the kind from other countries) were being loaded onto a ship, and one of those aliens was E.T.. I'd like to know the name of that movie.

Insurance and charity telethons

After 9/11, the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, and Hurricane Katrina struck, there were several charity telethons to raise funds for the relief efforts. A couple of them only went for one hour, while a few others went two or more hours. When the 2007 Solomon Islands earthquake and the Greensburg tornado struck, there were no charity telethons. Does insurance have something to do with it? Or could it be something else?72.229.130.76 16:03, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Two good candidates for "something to do with it" are scale and proximity. Greensburg is nowhere near the scale of Katrina, though it's close to home. The Solomons aren't anywhere near the States (which I presume is the scope to which your question refers), and I'm pretty sure it's nowhere near the scale of Katrina, either. However, the 2004 Tsunami (comparable scale, no proximity) generated fundraising efforts in the States comparable to those for Katrina. When neither recent event you cite is comparable to the previous ones, why should the scope of the response be comparable? In short, there is no conspiracy. — Lomn 17:25, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A very old ghost movie

About 20 years ago, I watched this movie with my dad. I was 4 or 5 at the time and remember the movie vividly. It was a black and white english movie (us/uk). Started with a bunch of people going to an island on a boat, where a big old mansion situated. I cant remember the story, only some images of the end. Ghosts started appearing. Old corpses revealed near a big staircase. A ghost of a girl appeared in this guy's room, then a secret hallway appeared in that room. The ghost ran away and the guy started to chase after her. Then the rest of the visitors tried to escape on a truck/jeep. Well, that's basically the only thing I remember. It would be great if anyone could tell me the title of that movie. Thanks in advance.

Best drummer in the world

okay... this question probably impossible to answer but I want to do a project on the best drummer in the world (drummer meaning, drumset player, like Neil Peart) I was wondering if you guys had anything about that, I looked it up but none of it seems to fit into what I mean.

The reason why there's nothing here about it is because it's a matter of opinion. There is no consensus on who is the best drummer in the world. Why don't you have a think about who is your favourite drummer, and why? That would be a good start for your project. --Richardrj ^talk ^email 04:38, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

From this (it's near the bottom of the article) it was indeed Metallica, and they performed a "medley of covers," including one of "Beat it." Carom 15:23, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry mate. Could have gone to the MTV site myself. Thanks for that. Appreciated.

Now I'd like to know what those covers were, because I've got the riff of one of those stuck in my head, and I've no idea what the track is, or who the track belongs to. Can you help?

Thanks again. Hasanclk 17:52, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's possible that you are thinking of the riff from Seven Nation Army, which was, according to this (last paragraph) one of the covers they performed. Can't find a complete listing, although the article suggests they also covered Lenny Kravitz. Carom 17:58, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They did Seven Nation Army, as well as Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana. It's the other couple of covers I want to know about.

Biographical connection regarding Alan Alda and Stephanie D'Abruzzo

I have heard, in passing, that Alan Alda (born Alphonso D'Abruzzo) might be related in some way to Avenue Q star Stephanie D'Abruzzo. I can't find any source on this statement, but I was wanting to know if anyone can completely confirm or deny it. Thanks in advance. ~ PH DrillSergeant...§ 18:00, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
