obscure patriotic song

I'd like to find out more about, "There Are Many Flags," (also known as, "Our Flag," and/or, "Our Own Red, White and Blue,"). It was written by Mary Howliston, but when? I only find two verses and the chorus;

There are many flags in many lands,

There are flags of ev'ry hue.

But there is no flag however grand,

Like our own Red, White-and-Blue.

Chorus:

Then hurrah for the flag, our country's flag.

It's stripes and white stars too.

There is no flag in any land like our own Red,

White-and-Blue.

We shall always love the stars and stripes,

And we ever shall be true.

To this land of ours and the dear old flag,

Our own Red, White-and-Blue.

Chorus:

Then hurrah for the flag, our country's flag.

It's stripes and white stars too.

There is no flag in any land like our own Red,

White-and-Blue.

Are there any other verses out there? If more information is available, please let me know. Thank you.24.90.204.234 (talk) 08:25, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I found this site: [1], which seems to have a subset of yours, but with many typos:

HURRAH FOR THE FLAG.

There are flags of every hue,

Like our red, white, and blue.

We should always love the stars and stripes,

And we mean to be ever true

To this land of ours and the dear old flag,

The red, the white, and blue.

Then hurrah for the flag, "Our Country's Flag,

Its stripes and bright stars, too ;

There is no flag in any land

Like our red, white, and blue.

So, this reveals that her middle initial is "H", another name for it, and the publisher who owns it. It seems it may have been a poem, before it was a song. StuRat (talk) 19:49, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Looks to me like the "typos" are just due to poor OCR conversion - either because of bad software or because the print in the original book was smudged. TomorrowTime (talk) 22:24, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The "typos" have been corrected.24.90.204.234 (talk) 23:50, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

She seems to have been the author of at least two books, "The Child's Song Book", and "Cat-Tails, and other tales", the latter having been published in 1899 - [2]. Ghmyrtle (talk) 00:16, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Girl singer in Club Can't handle me right now

Re post of question asked on december 19, 2010, (unresolved) All comments have been repoasted for easier viewing.

Who is the girl singing in Club Can't Handle Me by David Guetta, sounds like Katie Parry, then again, it sounds like the girl who voiced Dora on Danny Phantom, Nicole Scherzinger. Is it Katie or Nicky, or someone else? N.I.M. (talk) 05:18, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Billboard thinks it might be Ke$ha as she's previously been an uncredited featured artist on Flo Rida's work. See http://www.billboard.com/new-releases/flo-rida-feat-david-guetta-club-can-t-handle-1004108091.story#/new-releases/flo-rida-feat-david-guetta-club-can-t-handle-1004108091.story. Exxolon (talk) 15:36, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It is Nicole Scherzinger. Adam Bishop (talk) 15:37, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Source? Exxolon (talk) 15:54, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Google, and my ears :) I could be wrong, but it is not Katy Perry, at least. I'm not sure why this info is not all over the Internet, actually. Adam Bishop (talk) 16:08, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and it couldn't be Kesha, because whoever this is can carry a melody. Kesha can't do that, even with Autotune. Adam Bishop (talk) 16:09, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You might want to redact that statement about her singing or at least make clear it's a personal opinion - WP:BLP applies across the entire site. Google is coming up with results but no reliable sources supporting the Nicole theory. Exxolon (talk) 16:20, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nicole Scherzinger's on Twitter, if anyone's got an account then they could ask her to confirm.--TammyMoet (talk) 17:45, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No way it kould be Ke$ha, the voice sounds different. The singer has a nicole scherzinger or Katy Perry-like voice, but it's not Katy Perry. Is it Nicole Scherzinger, or is there another singer with a voice just like Nicky's? N.I.M. (talk) 22:15, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is this a different version of this song than Club Can't Handle Me? -- kainaw ™ 18:42, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's the david guetta song with Flo Rida. I'm wondering who the girl singing is. N.I.M. (talk) 03:27, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The song, "Club Can't Handle Me" is Flo Rida's song. It features David Guetta. Flo Rida's backup female singer is Kesha with Auto-Tune. If you really want to know who was physically in the studio, ask Flo Rida. Nobody here was present at the recording. -- kainaw ™ 13:25, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, i'm going to do some comparisons with some voice actors and the singers' voices here, you can look it up if you don't know who i am talking about. Kesha has more of a Jennifer Hail voice, when the singer in Club Can't Handle Me has more of a Julie White or Susan Blakeslee type voice, or even a Carrie Kenny silver voice. no way it could be kesha. N.I.M. (talk) 00:50, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

My cousin in Ontario says that it is Susan Glover, the voice of Freida in What's With Andy singing the song, no way it could be Kesha. N.I.M. (talk) 09:10, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What attempts have you made to contact Flo Rida - the person who can answer this question? Nobody here is being paid to contact him for you. -- kainaw ™ 13:39, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Dear User:Kainaw , you failed to see my message of previous reguarding "self-contacting", i woulden't be here if i was able to do it myself. Think User:Kainaw , do you think i would be here if i was able to contact him myself? think, and come back with a name. N.I.M. (talk) 18:17, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't ask if you COULD contact him. I asked what attempts you have made? None? Did you even try? Complete failure to make any attempt to do anything for yourself will not result in help. Further - I have read your page. I have seen your claims of disability. I have seen your claims of using a screen reader and claims that it doesn't work. I use a screen reader myself. It works just fine. You have completely failed to explain why you can't use yours or why you can't use google or why you can't use a telephone or why you can ask someone else (like the aunt you reference over an over) to use google for you. This is a reference desk, not a personal disability service. Please treat it as such. -- kainaw ™ 18:30, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Again, i tried creating a twidder myself, i tried googling myself, and i've tried everything i know. How do you think i found out about the kristen johnston or kerri kenney situation? I was googling the voice of Warmonga on Kim Possible, because i thought "hey, she sounds cool! so, i googled it. One sight says it's Kristen Johnston, the other says it is Kerri Kenney. Twitter says i am using an e-mail that was taken, and i just checked with my aunt, yes, and she is trying to log in with no luck. So yes, contrary to what you said, i have attempted. So for the girl singer, i did the same. Wondered who it was singing, tried googling it, no results, just possibles, and i tried asking my aunt to contact flo rida. I even asked a few friends. they don't want to. so no, it's not just a disability thing. i tell the truth, what screan reader do you use, i use JAWS, and it can be picky at times? N.I.M. (talk) 18:52, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have JAWS on my Windows machine and use it when Orca is being picky. I mostly work in a non-windowed environment using Lynx as the web browser. In a text-only environment screen-reading is much less a chore. Lynx is much more sophisticated that most people think. I use it as my primary browser of choice. -- kainaw ™ 19:10, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I use Windows Internet Explorer, and some times, my version of JAWS is picky. that's one of the probloms with a twitter account i'm having. like i said, my cousin believes it is Susan Glover that sings in the song. though the article says she is just a voice actor, and nothing about singing. I know voice actors can be singing, should i go by my cousin's words or should i assume it is Nicole Scherzinger.. Voice sounds different then Ke$ha's. N.I.M.

Popular hidden tracks

Is it at all possible to say that "Train in Vain" is the most famous (chart-wise) hidden bonus track ever, or at least in a top ten? If not, are there more famous songs that were originally hidden on an album? Finalius (Say what?) 14:29, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Train in Vain was not deliberately "hidden", it was a goof on the original printing of the album sleeve (the track was added too late to correct the sleeve). later pressings corrected the problem. However, on Hard Candy (Counting Crows album), the cover version of Big Yellow Taxi was deliberately hidden, and it became that album's biggest hit. See also Hidden track. --Jayron32 15:13, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Her Majesty? Adam Bishop (talk) 21:44, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not exactly a hidden track, but Yellow Ledbetter was a fairly big hit for Pearl Jam and for years was only available as the B-side of the Jeremy single. They also had Last Kiss which was their most widespread hit and was only on a fan club Christmas bonus CD for some time.206.116.252.164 (talk) 09:59, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Myst-like game for the XBOX 360

Are there any games for the XBOX 360 that are similar to Myst? A puzzle adventure game without any violence. --Endlessdan (talk) 15:09, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

My mother swears by Syberia and its sequel. That's for the original XBOX, but I assume that the backwards compatibility would handle it. APL (talk) 15:32, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

My wife really like Syberia also - but she played it on the PC. I didn't know it was available for XBox. -- kainaw ™ 15:58, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Syberia 2 was released for the original Xbox, and, if you can find a copy, it will indeed run on an Xbox 360. The original Syberia isn't on this list, so apparently there isn't an emulator for it, but it still might work. --McDoob AU 93 17:39, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Strange Scratchings

The hidden tracks question of earlier today piqued my curiosity about another aspect of LP records that I had not pondered for some time. Certain LP records have noticeable words or phrases scratched in the run out groove between the last song on a side and the center label. I believe Rolling Stone had an article about this back in the 1970's in which the marks were referred to as Strange Scratchings. Is there any other proper term for this, and do we have an article about it? Thanks.Chief41074 (talk) 20:32, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
