" [[Back in the Days of the old Schoolyard]] " I cannot recall who sung it, then there was one from either [[New Zealand ]]or [[Australia]], " Don't You ever let a chance go by ", which in the seventies had a video to it, about a wise acre who got into a row with a nine or ten foot tall [[Hell's Angel]], on the streets of [[Newcastle]] ( I assume the one in [[New South Wales]] ), where one says, " Aw, what are ya ? " and the other answers " What are You ?", and just before he is about to get pounded, the man notices a break in the traffic, and takes off. I sing those words everytime I slip onto a busy street. But I cannot recall all the words. Around the same time in New Zealand we had a character named [[Fred Dagg]], played by the now 61 year old [[John Clarke]], a typical Kiwi farmer in black singlet and gumboots, like [[Wallace Footrot]], whose favourite expression to his sheep heading dog was " Get in behind !". He sung one called " If it weren't for your gumboots, where would you be ?", originally written by [[Billy Connolly]], who had married New Zealander [[Pamela Stephenson]]. Again I cannot recall the words. There is also [[Clive Dunn]]'s [[Granddad]]. I rung him up the other day, because he was in a POW camp in Austria in World War Two with my great uncle. In addition, I would appreciate the lyrics to the theme to [[Dad's Army]] - "Who do you think you are kidding. Mr. Hitler ?", also sung by Clive Dunn. There was also a song from about the seventies about a guy who got a present , which had a big red button on it. He did not know what the thing was, but said it went whizz bang, and other such things. Lily the Pink, by the Irish Rovers. The song that goes " Down on the corner - party in the street " Trpping out by Mikey Havoc. Nature - a Kiwi song, but I cannot recall who sung it. There was also an Australian Vietnam war song from about 1986 which had the words " and Franky kicked a mine the day Mankind kicked the Moon. God help him, he was going home in June. " Lastly, one named " the hanging tree " I think by [[Kenny Rogers]] or someone like him. If you know any of these, please don't hesistate to say. Thank You.

It's supposed to be funny too when you think that in the show, he really isn't the king in his house. Carrie (his wife) holds a lot of power, and so does her father. Doug isn't really the king of his castle at all.[[User:Aaronite|Aaronite]] ([[User talk:Aaronite|talk]]) 18:04, 11 January 2010 (UTC) :There was also a movie about Jesus, called ''King of Kings''.

That scene got me wondering: was that red-green place an area of her mind, and why was there a heartbeat when she used it to see through Zorin's illusion? <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Sirdrink13309622|Sirdrink13309622]] ([[User talk:Sirdrink13309622|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Sirdrink13309622|contribs]]) 23:17, 12 January 2010 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> = January 13 = == [[John Malkovitch]] == I haven't seen too many films casting him, but in [[The Man in the Iron Mask (1998 film)|The Man in the Iron Mask]], he seems to be exceedingly meticulous in his pronunciation of words. # Does anyone else notice this, or is it just me?

The one notable exception is [[Rounders (1998 film)|Rounders]], where he plays a Russian mobster, and speaks with a Russian accent; though notable with a recognizably Malkovitchian cadance... He's one of those actors like Christopher Walken, who have an idiosyncratic way of speaking that has become part of every character they play. --[[User:Jayron32|<font style="color:#000099">Jayron</font>]]'''''[[User talk:Jayron32|<font style="color:#009900">32</font>]]''''' 21:14, 13 January 2010 (UTC) ::::Yep, heard him on NPR before during an interview.

The back of your ticket will usually contain terms and conditions, one of which is normally "no photography, recording, etc". In my experience most large venues usually say this, although how much you might get away with taking the odd photo is a moot point. Some venues insist on searching people's bags on entry, and they ''might'' confiscate your camera if they're particularly draconian. If you can get it in, you might get away with taking the odd photo, especially towards the end of the concert. Sometimes security guards wander around the audience looking for people taking photos and tell them to cease and desist. In the age of the camera phone, of course, such actions are pointless. --[[User:Richardrj|Richardrj]] [[User talk:Richardrj|^talk]][[Special:Emailuser/Richardrj|^email]] 12:52, 13 January 2010 (UTC) ::Thanks for the information.

[[User:Comet Tuttle|Comet Tuttle]] ([[User talk:Comet Tuttle|talk]]) 00:19, 14 January 2010 (UTC) :::In short... If it is not known that an album was mislabelled, collectors will not want to collect it. If collectors do not want to collect it, it will not have any substantial value. Because there is an extreme lack of information online about mislabelled versions of that album, it is very likely that practically nobody has interest in it. It is far more likely that it isn't a "mislabelled" album at all. It is just a bad counterfeit. When I was in Turkey, I found many bad counterfeit albums such as Motleu Cruu, Lead Zeppellin, and The Beetles. They have absolutely no collector value. -- [[User:Kainaw|<font color='#ff0000'>k</font><font color='#cc0033'>a</font><font color='#990066'>i</font><font color='#660099'>n</font><font color='#3300cc'>a</font><font color='#0000ff'>w</font>]][[User talk:Kainaw|&trade;]] 00:59, 14 January 2010 (UTC) ::::Not sure I agree with that. Just because no-one has yet identified any other copies of this mislabel doesn't mean it has no value. On the contrary, it would probably imply that there are very few copies floating around, which would make it even more collectable. Record collectors are a quixotic bunch of people and I wouldn't mind betting there is a Cars fan out there somewhere in the world who would be very interested indeed in a copy of the album that has the wrong label on one side. Also, when you talk about counterfeit albums, are you talking about LPs or CDs? In my experience there are plenty of counterfeit (pirated) CDs out there but very few LPs. In the pre-CD era pirates would have taken the form of cassettes rather than LPs. An LP that has just been incorrectly labelled at the pressing plant is very unlikely to be a counterfeit. --[[User:Richardrj|Richardrj]] [[User talk:Richardrj|^talk]][[Special:Emailuser/Richardrj|^email]] 08:41, 14 January 2010 (UTC) = January 14 = == Really difficult song ID request? == I think this might be a difficult request because I don't remember a lot of details, but there is a song that was used in a commercial (Kodak?

I've tried googling both songs by using some of the lyrics that I could pick up, but it comes up with other songs.The first one is a sung by a male and female and here's some of the lyrics that I could pick up from the first line: Female "Oh no special reason, why we can't get along you say you love me still I'm hungry... There's a million sad songs... ,but I realize that I have had it coming. [Chorus] It's breaking up my heart and it's telling me to go. If being faithfull is wrong..." Male "... If I said that you were wrong I'd be pretending......... In my heart I know I've given you the reason... There's a million sad songs that I can... ,but I realize that I have had it coming." [Chorus]. I hope it helps fi there's anyone out there who's willing to give ths a try. The second song is sung by a male and some of the lyrics goes like this: "I wish I could take back the things that I said/ We both said some things that we regret/ I never meant to hurt your heart, I can't believe we fell apart/ I know; I know (girl you're the one for me)/ I know you are (girl you're the one for me/ I know you know (girl you're the one for me/ Oh no don't go (girl you're the one for me/ I can spend my life searching for the world/ I would neer find someone like you girl/ So please understand that I wanna be you man, I'm sorry" Note: I stand corrected if the lyrics might be a bit incorrect.
