Question regarding the song Ramblin' Man

Does anyone happen to know why the Allman Brothers song Ramblin' Man was chosen to be included in The Exorcist's soundtrack? Although it's a fun, rollicking tune, there is nothing diabolical about that particular song so I am curious as to its inclusion in the film.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:23, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know the song nor the part of the film in which it features, but why is any song used in any film? Film-makers choose songs that happen to fit the mood they are going for. That could well be ironic, e.g. another "fun, rollicking tune", "Stuck in the Middle With You", was used to accompany a prolonged torture scene in Reservoir Dogs. --Viennese Waltz 09:39, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The song was being played on the jukebox in a bar where Father Damien was seated.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 10:10, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, then, you answered your own question. It was appropriate to that scene. It's a standard bar jukebox tune, so it worked in that specific scene. Yeah, it wouldn't have worked in the peasoup spitting scene, but they didn't use it THERE, now did they? Besides, 2 hours of Mike Oldfield would get a little tiring, wouldn't it? Glad they broke it up with The Brothers, if you ask me. --Jayron32 16:27, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, do you mean as a frivolous counterbalance to the impending horror that's about to be unleashed on the priest? This reminds me of the urban legend about the Walker Brothers playing on a pub's jukebox while notorious London gangsters were killing someone.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:40, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What is that remix song by daniel desnoyers that has lyrics "seems so far away, yeah. why go chasin rainbows." If possible, please identify the song's name, thanks. N.I.M. (talk) 13:35, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Name of song in Far From the Madding Crowd

I need to know the name of a song from the 1967 film Far From the Madding Crowd. Would anyone have the name of the rather bawdy West Country folk tune Terence Stamp is singing inside the barn while encouraging the harvesters to get drunk as a storm is brewing outside? Thank you.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:07, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

From the soundtrack page of the film's IMDB listing: you have 3 songs to choose from. Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk • contributions) 17:57, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have just discovered the name which is the Tinker's Song! Thanks anyway for your help. Those three songs listed at INDb I knew already. Bushes and Briars and The Bold Grenadier are both very sad and maudlin, whereas the other is a hymn!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 18:16, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting - not sure why it is missing from that soundtrack listing. Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk • contributions) 18:17, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That song with it's rather bawdy lyrics is one of the highlights of the film, along with Stamp's erotic swordplay. He sings it in a strong West Country accent.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 18:29, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Jacobellis v. Ohio and The Lovers (film)

Was there any nudity in this film, or was it just the ideas that upset people?

Its also an example of how, I presume, the actors and other people at the time were regarded as shocking and beyond the pale, but now like Johnny Rotten are more or less establishment figures. 92.28.252.5 (talk) 12:28, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

According to IMDb's parents guide to the film, there is "breast nudity". Dismas|^(talk) 12:41, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wild Boys

In my memory, Wild Boys by Duran Duran, always came to a definite end, but whenever I hear it now (on CD or Grooveshark), it fades out. Was there a different version played on UK radio and TV in the 80s, or is my memory deceiving me? DuncanHill (talk) 01:42, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

All versions in my collection have a fade at the end. 10draftsdeep (talk) 14:16, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A View to a Kill was the next single, and it comes to a definite end. Any chance you might be thinking of it instead? cheers, 10draftsdeep (talk) 20:07, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No, definitely Wild Boys (it had a great impression on me, inspired me to read Burroughs). DuncanHill (talk) 20:26, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Under Pressure

On my 7" vinyl copy of Under Pressure, the lyrics at the end went "this is our last dance, this is our last chance, this is ourselves..." but on the CDs of Queen's Greatest Hits II and Bowie's Best of Bowie, they go "this is our last dance, this is ourselves...". I've never heard or read about there being two versions, anyone know anything about this? Thanks. DuncanHill (talk) 01:55, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The song I know (and that's overplayed on radio) goes:

"And love dares you to change our way of caring about ourselves; this is our last dance, this is our last dance, this is ourselves --
under pressure."

So I assume you mean the second "this is our last dance" is removed on Greatest Hits II. The article mentions this exactly: "Was released in UK on Queen's Greatest Hits II (which would later be included in The Platinum Collection (2003)) removing the second time David Bowie sings, "This is our last dance." But of course it does not provide a reason. Xenon54 (talk) 02:19, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't read that far, the article is laid out too messily! The second "last dance" is missing from the Bowie album I mentioned, and from Bowie's The Singles Collection (which both have "It's OK" at 53", despite what our article says). DuncanHill (talk) 02:34, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sometimes, companies shorten the songs, even just by a little bit to either save space on the cds so all songs can fit, or for radio play. Other then that, i woulden't or coulden't be able to tell you why they would eliminate the second time that line is sung. N.I.M. (talk) 03:36, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Eighties song with possibly a mandolin

This is rather nebulous.... I'm trying to remember an eighties track with a mandolin or similar in it, was a hit in the UK, probably an English band, has been used in advertising and I seem to remember reading that it has been used on the Arabic-language news on Israeli television. Sorry I can't be of more help! DuncanHill (talk) 04:33, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Right! Worked it out, it obviously wasn't by Men Without Hats or Television, so it had to be Blancmange - Living on the Ceiling. DuncanHill (talk) 04:41, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Michael Jackson Replaced-Lisa Marie Presley Married Replacement

There is growing information out there that Michael Jackson was definitely replaced by someone else in the late 1980s to early 1990s. Before wikipedia or any other encyclopedia closes the files on the Michael Jackson/Lisa Marie Presley/Debbie Rowe marriages they should wait for information that proves these women married Michael Jackson. At this point because both Presley and Rowe married someone suspected not to be Michael Jackson they could have been part of the conspiracy to replace him. There is strong information that Michael Jackson never had vitiligo and never changed the color of his skin. There is also information that Michael Jackson's body is being held by law enforcement in Los Angeles, California pending a complete investigation of what happened to him. The man who allegedly died under Michael Jackson's name in 2009 is suspected of being a replacement and there is evidence there were several men living under the name at Neverland Ranch. The Onion News did a news report on the death of Michael Jackson. California law enforcement has not dismissed the story as scandalous because they do have the body. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.145.222.142 (talk) 06:28, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah you seem to be under a misapprehension here. Wikipedia is not "closing the files" on anything. We already have well referenced articles on Michael Jackson and Death of Michael Jackson (the first is even a featured article, which means it's one of the best articles on Wikipedia) which are not going anywhere. If you or anyone else wants to add the assertions you make to the articles, it's up to you to find reliable, independent references (from books, newspapers etc) to back them up. Otherwise, such matters are mere speculation, which can't go in the articles. --Viennese Waltz 06:53, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You do know that The Onion is a satire site that makes up all of their stories, right? Corvus cornix_talk 07:27, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And you do know that this is a reference desk where each new topic starts off with a question, right, not a forum for people to come along and just assert stuff? What's your question? -- Jack of Oz ... speak! ... 10:13, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Don't Let Me Down Beatles song

How many versions are there of this Beatles song? I have one version on the Let It Be CD, yet it's very different from the single which I used to always hear on the radio. That version contained John Lennon's line "Can you dig it". The CD song does not have this line in it. Does anyone happen to know why two songs were recorded and why they didn't put the single on the CD? Thank you.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:42, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

See Don't Let Me Down (The Beatles song). There are three officially released versions. -- kainaw ™ 17:56, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sex in my life song

I heard a hip-hop song today that said, "Sex in my life, sex in my life".

The first 6 letters to come up filled in the first 2 words, then the K was next, giving HIT THE ___K.

Michael Jackson Replaced-Lisa Marie Presley Married Replacement-Part 2

That's enough of that

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

My question is why does Wikipedia assume that is Michael Jackson when there is lots of information out there and people who question if that was Michael Jackson. Why isn't the concern addressed in the article? If that was not Michael Jackson then the entire article is a lie. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and is responsible for reporting factual history as all encyclopedias are. One hundred years from now how will the people of that time know people questioned who the man was who died June 25, 2009, married twice and has three children.

If that is not Michael Jackson, where is he, is he married and does he have any children? Many questions arise requiring answers if that was not Michael Jackson. And just because Onion News is satire doesn't mean the information is not accurate anymore than when you read something in a tabloid, that doesn't mean it's not true because it's in a tabloid. I find it surprising that Onion News was brave enough to discuss the subject and ask why other members of the news media did not say something as well.

Obviously, a man who goes from being black to being white and looking totally different at the end of the thing requires some investigation. I mean that's just good law enforcement to make sure you're burying the guy you say you're burying. I don't think it's been answered yet that that is Michael Jackson and my point is I don't think encyclopedias should stand solid on an article about Michael Jackson until they know that is him they're talking about. From my reading of Wikipedia's article they are stating as fact that was Michael Jackson. There are questions out there about who that was, I don't think any encyclopedia at this point can stand solidly on an article about Michael Jackson to say that was him.

The real facts of Michael Jackson's life are being discussed in reference to someone who looked nothing like him. Are Michael Jackson's early days that man's history or someone else's? Are his achievements those of the man who died in 2009 or are those the achievements of another man? What if the real Michael Jackson shows up someday asking why history recorded this man under his name? My question: Your article reads as if you are sure that is Michael Jackson, was that Michael Jackson? Was Michael Jackson accused of child sexual abuse or was that someone else? Did Michael Jackson die from cardiac arrest or was that someone else? Was Dr. Murray Michael Jackson's physician or was he someone else's physician? Does Michael Jackson have three white children or does someone else, a white man living as Michael Jackson have three white children? When things like this happen someone has to care enough to ask questions. If that was not Michael Jackson, wherever he is, I hope he knows some people care enough to demand answers.

I am saying there is an investigation concerning the identity of Michael Jackson and encyclopedias need to be aware of that. I know Michael Jackson personally and had just seen him looking as he always looked when a few days later another man who looked nothing like him was saying he was Michael Jackson. I reported it to law enforcement who started an investigation. I know the man who died in 2009 was not Michael Jackson. I also know the man who married Lisa Marie Presley and Debbie Rowe was not Michael Jackson. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.145.222.142 (talk) 04:03, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Look, lets make this real simple. There are all sorts of people who believe all sorts of really insane things. Occasionally, some of the insane things become themselves notable, but are not covered as being possibly true, but rather as being insane, but notable, things. Consider Flat Earth Society, or Paul is dead, or Moon landing conspiracy theories. No one outside of the lunatic fringe believes that the world is flat, or that Paul McCartney died and was replaced by a body double in the mid 1960's, or that NASA faked the moon landings. However, the fact that enough people believe this stuff means that Wikipedia reports on that belief. The deal with the "Michael Jackson died a long time ago and was replaced by a white guy" is that it is neither possibly true, NOR is it a significant conspiracy theory. It's such a minor issue that it isn't even worth reporting on. That's because, outside of you here, and some really wacky blogs, no one else is reporting on the phenomenon, "or on the belief in the phenomenon either". --Jayron32 04:56, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Jayron32, I am shocked you are sure that was Michael Jackson. You are an editor for Wikipedia? I am part of the news media, I don't think your opinion as a writer for an encyclopedia should enter into this. I mention my own eyewitness account and a law enforcement investigation and you throw it aside as tabloid fodder? Perhaps Wikipedia is not an encyclopedia but a tabloid. I withdraw the question, Wikipedia is not qualified to answer it they have writers and editors who state their opinions as facts.

Look, I've already told you. This is an open encyclopedia. Anyone is free to edit and change Wikipedia articles if they want to, but any changes they make have to be backed up by verifiable sources. You can, if you so wish, add all your speculation to the Michael Jackson article. But I can guarantee you it'll be removed by someone else within a few minutes. Why? Not because there's some kind of conspiracy of silence against your theories, but because you have nothing to back them up. You say you have "information". Fine, let's hear where you got it from. --Viennese Waltz 05:51, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand your question, Viennese Waltz, I don't intend to add anything to the article and I never said that. I had a question of Wikipedia as to their content, there is nothing I want to add to the article. And why do you editors get so snap-fire angry, or is it just when questions are asked about Michael Jackson? I've not been rude to anyone but I keep getting these snap-fire comments. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.145.222.142 (talk) 06:12, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(Please note that not every comment needs a new section.)

You don't intend to add anything to the article. That's great. What exactly is your question? The reference desk isn't for random speculating about stuff...especially stuff that no reliable source has given any significant attention to. It's for asking questions. You seem to be using it for a generic conspiracy forum. --Onorem ♠Dil 06:19, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(e/c) First off, you don't need to keep making a new section on this page every time you want to say something. Just carry on writing in the existing section. Secondly, what you wrote above doesn't make sense. Wikipedia content is not "theirs", it's yours. You're an editor just as much as anyone else. If you don't like the article because you don't think it reflects the true story of Michael Jackson, then you're free to change it. If there's nothing you want to add, what point are you really making? --Viennese Waltz 06:27, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I did ask the question and more than once, nevermind, misunderstood what this reference desk is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.145.222.142 (talk) 06:34, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies. I did miss that there were questions to start off the original section #2.

Why does Wikipedia assume that is Michael Jackson when there is lots of information out there and people who question if that was Michael Jackson?

Because there isn't a lot of 'reliable' information out there and the people who question it seem to have no actual evidence to back it up.

Why isn't the concern addressed in the article?

Because the concern isn't covered by any reliable sources. Until it's covered in actual sources, it doesn't belong in the articles here. --Onorem ♠Dil 06:40, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, Wikipedia is not a real encyclopedia. I will let the professional community know that. Support from the professional business community has been responsible for much of Wikipedia's success. I'm sure Mr. Wales will be happy to know you put him out of business. You should also note Mr. Wales' words at Wikipedia:No Personal Attacks.

Do not make personal attacks anywhere in Wikipedia. Comment on content, not on the contributor. Personal attacks do not help make a point; they only hurt the Wikipedia community and deter users from helping to create a good encyclopedia.

All I know about the continuity and chronolgy in the series is that Zork Zero takes place before the Zork trilogy. I want to know more about which game takes place when. Could someone be nice and make something like Template:Metroid chronology or Template:Kingdom Hearts chronology in the series page, or somewhere else?

There may not have been a consistant internal canonical chronology beyond the numbered games. The unnumbered Zorks were probably set "in the Zork universe" at an ideterminate time. --Jayron32 16:32, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How can I play "Hot In Herre" with a soccer horn?

I saw one user use a vuvuzela (while no one else was using it, therefore, no cacaphony of noises), and the way he played it reminded me of the beat of Hot In Herre. I could almost swear that this Vuvuzela sound had something in common with Nelly's hit.

So how do I actually play Hot In Herre with the soccer horn? --129.130.252.148 (talk) 18:37, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A vuvuzela is basically plastic bugle, that is a valveless trumpet. You'd play it pretty much exactly as you'd play a bugle; the term for the technique of playing instruments like vuvuzela, bugle, and trumpet is called embouchure. Basically, by carefully controlling the tension on your lips and mouth as you vibrate your lips, you can generate different notes. Since Hot in Herre contains something like 5 different notes over a very small range, it should be easily playable on a vuvuzela. --Jayron32 20:48, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not quite. Valveless "brass instruments" (which don't need to be made of brass), controlled only by the embrochure, have only a limited note control. As the article bugle notes, such instruments are limited to a particular harmonic series, and, unless you are very, very good with it, the lower, widely spaced end of it. Depending on how skilled you are, you can also bend each pitch a bit, perhaps a semitone or so. Pieces for bugles (such as Taps, see section Music) are written with this in mind, and only hit the notes in that series. Arbitrary intervals (especially closely spaced notes) aren't possible on valveless instruments - this is the reason for the valves: to change the length of the instrument, and hence which harmonic series you're choosing your notes from. -- 174.24.198.158 (talk) 17:33, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Beatles now on iTunes, AC/DC not

I looked in the iTunes article but saw no obvious place to put this. iTunes Store comes closest, I guess, but I'm not quite sure what to do. I've seen headlines of several news articles online though I haven't actually read them there. Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 20:23, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thousands of artists are availible on iTunes, and probably thousands of others are not. I'm not sure its worth mentioning two of them specifically. --Jayron32 20:43, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mike Huckabee listed a number of people today on his radio show. Those are just examples. I'll see what the articles say.Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 20:58, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I made a discovery looking at the history. It turns out the artists are mentioned, but not in the text. There is a fancy footnote. And a comment that only appears to editors about not listing everyone.Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 21:31, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Johnny Cash and trains

I've just recently started getting into the music of Johnny Cash and I notice that like 1/4 of his songs seem to either be about trains or contain railway-related imagery. I don't actually know a huge amount about the man's life... what's the deal with this, was he one of those railfan/trainspotting types in his spare time? --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 00:44, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm surprised we don't have an article about it (I can't find one), but there is a subgenre of American roots music called something like "train music" or "railroad music". Johnny Cash comes from that tradition; he was not unique in that regard. Aside from "train standards" like Rock Island Line and Man of Constant Sorrow and Big Rock Candy Mountain, many acts which liked to reference American folk music had their own train songs. Besides Johnny Cash, which you note, lots of the British Rock and Roll bands of the 1960s had their own train songs, simply because they were well steeped in the American tradition. The Beatles had "One After 909" and the Yardbirds had their cover of "Train Kept A-Rollin'." Johnny Cash was more of a fan of traditional American music, and was doing his part of popularizing train music as a fan of the musical tradition probably moreso than as a fan of trains, per se. --Jayron32 01:11, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nice. Welcome to the world of Cash. Check out Walk the Line for a hollywood version of his life, but the real one was far more complex. I could drop a ton of links. Johnny Cash, The Wanderer (U2 song) 10draftsdeep (talk) 03:07, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

i need to find out how many users dudesnude has so that i can cite it. and more sources on dudesnude in general, any help?Hemanetwork (talk) 21:13, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Try emailing the website's staff. Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk • contributions) 23:57, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually that won't work - as far as I can recall we don't allow self-published figures for social network sites - it has to be sourced to a reliable third party source. Exxolon (talk) 04:17, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That said, if you're having trouble finding sources for info, the owners of the site will likely know exactly who has written about them. Dismas|^(talk) 04:24, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Looking For A Movie

How do I go about obtaining a copy(DVD) of the movie----You Came Along----staring Robert Cummings? There doesn't seem to be too much information about the film, anywhere, except on the Wikipedia site. Esther C. 69.244.202.38 (talk) 00:16, 21 November 2010 (UTC) 11-20-2010[reply]

Black girls hairstyles

Which hairstyles are considered black girls' hairstyle? So far I know that corn rows and dreadlocks are one of them but are there more? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.29.32.248 (talk) 02:46, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This will vary some according to who you ask. For instance, the first three people (that I've personally known) that I think of who have had dreadlocks are two white guys and an Asian girl. For me, dreadlocks aren't a black stereotype. Dismas|^(talk) 03:58, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you type "black hairstyle" or "black woman hairstyle" or "black girl hairstyle" into google, you can get all the answers you need to your question. --Jayron32 04:02, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

VH1

Hi! Yesterday I saw new commercial on VH1. It started with Jagger's God Gave Me Everything and showed some parts of other songs. Does anybody know the band before Alice in Chains? The singer wears red trousers and has long dark hair. Some black women sing with. I thank you in anticipation.
