Zumba lyrics "I like...soda?"

A friend of mine takes a zumba class with people of her age group. The group's favorite song (at least partially in Spanish, or could be Portuguese, she wouldn't know) has a line which they were all enthousiastically singing as "I like soda!" The teacher corrected the class, saying the word was something like soca or zoco. Can anyone identify this? μηδείς (talk) 02:05, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Presumably soca music? It's listed among the components of zumba. Though the article doesn't describe the soca rhythm, I seem to remember it's in irregular compound time (5/4?), which makes anything likeable. Card Zero (talk) 02:47, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That must be the word, I swear I googled it. Thanks. μηδείς (talk) 11:14, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

How can re obtian a web site which was used by me for the last 3 years

Dear Wikipedia team,

I was holding a domain @ www.zehrat.com for the last 3 years and now it was taken by a domain company without approaching me. So where can i approach to get this domain back to me.

Your help required in this matter and hope to have a reply from your team to act accordingly.

Thanks & Best Regards

I've removed your contact details to stop you being spammed. Judging by the whois data here you should try contacting this company who seem to own the domain now. There is nothing that we can do for you though - Wikipedia editors don't own the internet. SmartSE (talk) 21:16, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You are basically out of luck unless the company decides to sell it back to you. Try contacting them. TheGrimme (talk) 18:05, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Baseball stadium records

Is there a website (or book) that lists various records for each baseball venue (past and present)? For example, if I want to know who has hit the most home runs in a certain stadium, where could I find that info? It's possible to do this by going through the home run logs for every player on baseball-reference.com, but that's a little tedious, to say the least. Is there an easier way?

Retrosheet has some info,[1] but it depends on what you're looking for. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 02:42, 23 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome, that's exactly what I need, they have individual career stats for each stadium. Thanks! Adam Bishop (talk) 06:39, 23 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Princess Kaiulani (film)

Who played Kaiulani's mother Likelike and Queen Kapiolani? They only had brief appearances though. I've already search Internet Movie Database and found nothing.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 19:52, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Music search engine

Is there a search engine that can recognize names of musical pieces (So if you input it with a YouTube video, it would recognize the name of the background/not background music and tell it's name, or at list link to other videos with similar music)? If not, what about a Question & Answer site destined to recognizing music? Thanks, Oh, well (talk) 23:35, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You mean something that can recognize and identify music from the sound alone, not tapping into metadata tags like an mp3 might have? That is a relatively difficult thing to do and was basically impossible not all that long ago. Some progress has been made, but there might not be something out there that can do exactly what you want. And I don't know of a program that takes a youtube URL. There are some that you hum or sing into, see Query by humming. A program that could analysis a youtube video, figure out which part of it is "background music", and be able to isolate and identify it--that sounds very hard to do. I'd be surprised if there was a tool to do it (outside of ongoing research projects anyway). But I'd love to be surprised and learn there is! Pfly (talk) 00:05, 23 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Shazam or SoundHound can do this, to a limited extent, though I do not know if they can do it from a web portal - generally they are apps for smart phones. ^Avic _ennasis @ 01:53, 25 Tishrei 5772 / 01:53, 23 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've got one on my Android phone, it's called TrackID. It might help in searches if you use this name. --TammyMoet (talk) 09:10, 23 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

AudioTag[2] claims to do this. You upload a sound recording. I've not tried it. --Colapeninsula (talk) 13:40, 23 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
