May 14[edit]

How to I find this song in my head[edit]

It's a bluesy song in the sort of Led Zeppelin or White Stripes style. Don't remember anything other than the way it starts, which is with a base line (bass guitar) that goes something like this

G Bflat C, (short pause) E(high) G(octave above first) E

and then repeats again before beginning in with the beat which hits around the following times

G Bflat C, --(pause)-- E G E (pause) G Bflat C, --(pause)-- E G E --------G Bflat C, --(pause)-- E G E (pause) G Bflat C, --(pause)-- E G E
---------------------O------------/--------O-----------/---------------O------------/--------O-------/---------------O-----------/--------O-------------/--------------O------------/--------O

Where the O is a low drum beat and the / is a snare (place under around where they'd appear in the tune.) I can't figure out what the song is. Any help would be much appreciated 70.108.216.222 04:17, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Help with sprites[edit]

Since my computer can't do it manually, can someone please download the image located at

and send it to me? My email address can be viewed if you edit the section (please remove it when you've sent the image). Thanks. - 2-16 17:07, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This would be an excellent post for the Computer Ref Desk. Why aren't you able to download it yourself ? If you can display it, you can hit the Print Screen button (above Insert on the keyboard) and then do an Edit + Paste into Microsoft Paint, and File + Save it from there.

A video stuck in my head[edit]

I have a music video playing over and over in my head...... Its this guy that walks down a street. In an alley he finds a balloon (with a womans face on it) and he tries to catch her. He fails because she goes up and down, kind of teasing him. He gives up but she comes down and he takes the string aatched to the balloon. The then go down the street and a bunch of kids see them and one of the little boys shoot at her (tha balloon) she pops and then the guy is left holding the string. Its a very sad song, but also very beautiful.

If anyone knows who this music videos belongs to, please tell me. Thanx 196.207.47.60 18:41, 14 May 2007 (UTC) 14-05-07 20:39[reply]
