1969 Movie "Age of Consent"

[edit]

Can you tell me if the Song Titled "Age of Consent" was actually used in the 1969 Movie of the same name. If so which version was used and who sang the song.

It isn't listed at IMDB's listing for the soundtrack, but that isn't always definitive. --Jayron32 02:29, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Furthermore, the only song I know of named "Age of Consent" was about 14 years too late for the movie. See Age of Consent (song), which is about the song by the band New Order, a band whose music would never be confused with anything heard in 1969. --Jayron32 02:31, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
AHA. See Age_of_consent_(disambiguation), which states that there was a 1969 song by Ronnie Burns that was used in the film of the same name. So yes, it appears there was a song by that title in that film, sung by Ronnie Burns. The section "Solo years" in the Ronnie Burns article mentions the song and film. --Jayron32 02:33, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
(after 3 e/cs) We're talking about Age of Consent (film). Ronnie Burns recorded a minor hit called "Age of Consent" in early 1969 (boy, does that bring back some memories). It's on this youtube clip, and the commentary says it's from the movie. But Burns's article makes no mention of any link between that song and the movie. The movie soundtrack is listed on IMdB, but there's no mention of that song. The song was released in January 1969, the movie in May 1969. I conclude that the temporal proximity has caused some people to assume they were connected; but the evidence tells me they weren't (it's been a very long time since I saw the movie).
Age of Consent (song), which first surfaced in 1983, is a different song. -- ♬ Jack of Oz[your turn] 02:36, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I've edited Age of consent (disambiguation) to remove the assertion that the song appeared in the film. -- ♬ Jack of Oz[your turn] 02:39, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm looking for animated nostalgia

[edit]

I do not remember what year it was broadcast And I do not remember if it was series or a movie

A girl is trying to save her beloved from a witch's curse or something And somehow she got three magic nuts to pass three obstacles The first obstacle was a troll, or trolls guarding a bridge or blocking the road She opened one nut and a gold mountain filled the place the trolls went crazy for the gold and the girl could pass through I don't remember what the second obstacle was. The third obstacle was the witch The girl opened the last nut and a flute appeared in her hands She played a charming beautiful melody and defeat the witch.

Not sure if the nuts were nuts maybe it was something else and most of the story happened on a mountain — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.179.192.193 (talk) 06:44, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Its not an animation, but the closest thing I can suggest is Three Gifts for Cinderella. What country are you in? What decade was it broadcast? - X201 (talk) 10:52, 25 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

musical instruments of Bengal region

[edit]

Is there a website where it talks about or explains the instruments of Bengal? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.53.229.120 (talk) 14:58, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia has an article titled Music of Bengal. It only has a single reference, but it is a book-length work on the topic. If you can get that book, it may have the information you seek. --Jayron32 16:20, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
