Where can I find the goalscorers in all of the United States-Mexico football matches?

[edit]

I want to contribute to the following page: Mexico–United States soccer rivalry with the goalscorers in all of the matches, since no one has done it yet. Nicholasprado (talk) 02:54, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It won't play on my PC. And why is it taking me into "edit"? ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots05:05, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) Pachelbel's Canon I think. Of course, your recording is mostly people talking loudly with a very faint music playing in the background. If you could upload an actual recording of the music, and not the music being played in another house while a loud party goes on in your house, that'd help. --Jayron32
Definitely Pachelbel's Canon in D, one variation. – Kerαunoςcopiagalaxies 05:36, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

obscure 1916 patriotic song

[edit]

In 1916, during World War I, a patriotic song was created. It was called, Wake Up, America! George Graff, Jr., wrote the lyrics. Jack Glogau composed the music. I'm hoping to find more information about the song. Where can it be found?142.255.103.121 (talk) 09:19, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

About all I could dig up is this masters thesis (pp. 108-110). Clarityfiend (talk) 22:40, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I've had several thorough searches on the internet and could find very little. The title seems to be a paraphrase of a 1914 poem by Robert Bridges called Wake up, England. The song was the most popular record in the US in May 1916 for 4 weeks.[1] The title was used for a 1918 book[2] and a 1917 official poster.[3] The phrase is currently used by any number of right wing blogs all over the internet, which makes searching for any useful information a bit of a struggle. It is also the title of an otherwise unrelated 2008 song by Miley Cyrus [4]. That's all I could find, but it certainly seems to be notable enough to have a WP article.

Some Latin song I heard on a parody

[edit]

Well there's a parody on YouTube called "Casey & Friends." At 2:48, a Latin (not the kind of Latin the Romans used, Latin as in Latin America) songs plays. I can't remember what the name of that song is, but I could have sworn that it was on Radio Espantoso on either Grand Theft Auto: Vice City or Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories (can't remember which one). But when I searched every song mentioned on their respective soundtrack articles on YouTube, it seemed that none matched (although I could have missed some, since I only listened to parts of the songs). So can someone identify the song? I'm 100% sure it was in either Vice City or Vice City Stories. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 12:44, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Shazam tells me that it is "Fiesta Meringue" by Igor Dvorkin & Duncan Pittock. Not sure if that's right, but might give you a new direction to search from. --OnoremDil 13:13, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nope, it isn't that one. Although, I now remember that I heard the same song in a dance competition I watched a few years back. That could be a lead. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 13:30, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Are you sure it's even a song? It sounds more like some sort of fake warning siren to me, which in the context of the video may make sense. Nil Einne (talk) 12:43, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Actually I was listening to the wrong video, there is a Casey & Friends video that calls it self a parody which is what I thought you were referring to as the other one doesn't indicate it's a parody. Anyway SoundHound doesn't give anything but Shazam finds the same thing for me. More significantly, why are you assuming it's wrong? I'm listening to a version of Fiesta Meringue on YouTube which sounds more or less the same albeit without the voices. This may or may not be what you heard on GTA, but that's a seperate question. There's another version on last.fm identified as 6 which sounds somewhat different or may be it's just the end and [5] suggests there's at least 7 different version (you can actually listen to them there and Audio Network seems to be a legit site which generally only has stuff they have permissions for so the link should be okay) none of them seem to have vocals, but I'm not entirely sure the vocals are part of the song anyway. Either way, I don't see any good reason to think Shazam happens to be wrong in this instance about what song is playing in the Youtube video in question (as opposed to whatever song you remember from wherever).

Riot rap music video

[edit]

Hello, I'm looking for the artist(s) and title of a video from some time between 1998 and 2002, I am thinking more around the 2000 area but I really can't remember.

Now I have always believed it to be a trio of 2 black males and 1 black female, but it could very well be one person featuring two others or a duo featuring someone, so keep that in mind as I describe the music video below.

The setting is a city during a riot of some kind with a man walking through it rapping, then it switches to a man on the ground bleeding and rapping, then a paramedic rapping, and possibly even a riot policeman. Then the female is singing and she is the clerk or desk worker of some kind in a morgue, and I think one of the guys as the paramedic is rapping while wheeling in a body bag. Thanks for your help. 186.80.206.161 (talk) 19:36, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This reminds me of a Fugees music video, but I can't remember which one. Livewireo (talk) 17:04, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Soundtrack of Wild Russia

[edit]

Hi,
I've seen the show "Wild Russia", and I am curious to know what is this melody in the background:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WA2pkPqYic 21:40, 15 December 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Exx8 (talkcontribs)

The credits say "music composed and produced by William Goodchild and featuring guitarist Nick Pullin". I didn't hear any guitar in that clip, but it may be a start. I suspect, though, that individual bits of the background score don't have special names. -- Jack of Oz [Talk] 22:25, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
