Mambo No 5 (Perez Prado)

Our Wikipedia entry for Mambo No. 5 indicates that: "The song's popularity was renewed by German artist Lou Bega's sampling of the last 30 seconds of the original". I thought that this was accurate since I had always listened to the original Perez Prado record (see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJlAb4VLs4k). However, I recently heard the following version of Mambo No. 5 by Perez Prado (see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJ6jtT_mSGQ), which I found odd as it reminded me of the Lou Bega recording (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EK_LN3XEcnw). Some of the former video's comments indicate that this Perez Prado recording dates to 1954 (or maybe earlier). I've been searching around for information on the matter to little avail. Basically, the question boils down to:

Is the "alternative" Mambo No. 5 (the alleged 1954 recording) a Perez Prado original, or is it a "modern" version created after the success of Lou Bega's version?
If the "alternative" Mambo No. 5 is truly a Perez Prado original, does that mean that Lou Bega did in fact not simply "sample the last 30 seconds of the original"?

Cheers to anyone who can figure this one out! Please "ping" me if you have an idea or find the answer.--MarshalN20 ^✉🕊 00:35, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

More about pretty actress

I'm interested in learning more about Hannah Kepple. She's the one who plays 'Moon' on Cobra Kai. When and where was she born? What ethnicity is she?142.255.69.73 (talk) 11:49, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sideshow

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

IMDB has almost nothing. But she looks white to me. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 13:06, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Which says zero about her ethnicity. -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 23:04, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As opposed to any other race. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 23:47, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

He asked what her ethnicity was. "White" is not an ethnicity. Race and ethnicity are not interchangeable concepts. --Viennese Waltz 07:04, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If he ever checks back here, maybe he can clarify what he meant. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 13:05, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

His question was unambiguous. I'm more interested in getting you to clarify what you meant. --Viennese Waltz 16:09, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ms Kepple is represented by Screen Artists Talent, who may be able to answer your questions. DuncanHill (talk) 16:20, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The OP seems to have moved on to other things. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 17:52, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Films about astral projection

What films have been produced dealing with astral projection as a theme? FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 04:56, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Astral — on IMDb

There are several lists on the internet, but they tend to use the term loosely, and include out-of-body experience, lucid dreams and altered states of consciousness; a few films commonly on those lists:

Thanks. If anyone wants to give further answers, I'm especially interested in films produced in the 1970s or 1980s, rather than later films. Links to the relevant lists would also be helpful. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 08:30, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Music video 'These Days' - where is that?

Near the end of the official music video for the song 'These Days', Macklemore gets in an airplane and leaves London. For 2-3 seconds, we see from the airplane window the city where he lands. I think it should be downtown Seattle, and Elliot Bay. But something isn't right with the shape of the bay, and now I wonder whether that is Seattle, or somewhere else? The airport also looks like Seattle, but the airplane window view really isn't quite right. Can anybody demonstrate that the view is/isn't the Seattle waterfront? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:A447:A6CD:1:95F5:23C8:F00E:1508 (talk) 07:00, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
