songs for podcasted rants

Sorry to be a burden as i know that i asked another question here, but i'm currently working on a podcast and it consists of rants and such, and i'm trying to figure out what to do abuot the intros and ending songs. any recommendations for like intro and ending songs? note that i got the idea from the youtube user Pikachu0z and like him plan to play like 30 seconds or so of the song at the beginning, and i'm also not too sure about what to do at the end(whether i should use the ending part of the beginning's song or whether i should use a different song). any ideas for songs for for the podcast? if i knew what kind of songs Pikachu0z used then i'd use the same or similar songs but i don't, so that's why i'm asking the WPRD for ideas. please don't go "what ever you want to put i guess" because i'm not sure what to put. 199.101.61.190 (talk) 00:32, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If you're looking for good angry songs, perhaps something like Nirvana's song "tourette's" from In Utero has a "ranty" angry feel to it. Plus, its mostly gibberish. "Liar" has some of Henry Rollins spoken-word style and is kinda rant-ish. --Jayron32 07:10, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Just about anything by The Fall might qualify. Ghmyrtle (talk) 08:14, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"You Oughta Know" by Alanis Morrisette is a bit ranty... --TammyMoet (talk) 10:18, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, i'll have to see if i can get my hands on those songs. i really wish i knew weree Pikachu0z got his songs from, sinse i'm getting the idea from him. but i like your suggestions a lot. 199.101.61.190 (talk) 15:08, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The opening bit from the song "Kick Out The Jams" by the MC5 is an awesome way to start anything. --Jayron32 15:35, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As is the Fish Cheer by Country Joe and the Fish... --TammyMoet (talk) 17:29, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Have you tried asking PikachuOz? Another option would be to assemble a list of small or local artists. Then when you're editing your podcast, send them all an email about what type of music you're looking for. They could provide suggestions of their own music to you and then you can give them credit at the end of the podcast. It would be some free advertising for them.

How about Synchronicity II, by The Police ? In those lyrics [1], Sting manages to rant about pollution, traffic, labor relations, the "rat race", etc. StuRat (talk) 19:43, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Good ideas. and for dismas, i would ask pikachu0z but i don't think he has a podomatic account and i don't have a youtube account. great ideas though, i'm currently looking into them. shame i can't find songs that are used in Pikachu0z's videos, like this one: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jI22BOdaono or www.youtube.com/watch?v=2c8nqZzLazc shame i don't know what they are, and if there was a way to contact Pikachu0z i would so do it. but thanks for the suggestions, and if anyone knows either of those two songs used in my examples, please let me know. note that due to the damn captcha shit, i can't post the links propperly. thanks. 199.101.61.190 (talk) 06:25, 27 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly, they don't sound like famous songs. They sound like someone noodling around on a 1980s era Casio keyboard. --Jayron32 00:50, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

FIFA video games past player ratings

Where can I find the best rated players in each FIFA video game for example, FIFA 2003? Nicholasprado (talk) 08:37, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What happens to Rose?

In the end of Titanic, after the ship sinks and Rose is rescued and sent to America, what does she do? Nothing(except some framed pictures) is shown in the movie to tell us what happened to her afterward? --Yashowardhani (talk) 11:08, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In that case, they don't tell us. If it wasn't part of the movie, it wasn't part of the movie. Why do you believe there is some part of the story that was not part of the movie but is still documented somewhere? What would be the point of that? -- Jack of Oz ^[Talk] 11:26, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The framed photos do tell you what happened to her. She had a long and fruitful life, just like Jack said she would. Adam Bishop (talk) 12:55, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

For a moment I thought you were referring to JackofOz. :P Bonkers The Clown (Nonsensical Babble) 13:55, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I defend my post from the taunts of my minions. I always AGF, so if an OP tells me the movie did't divulge what happened to Rose, I assume that's correct. On that basis, one may as well ask what Scarlett O'Hara did after the final scene of GWTW - nobody can ever say, because the movie ends at that point, funnily enough. -- Jack of Oz ^[Talk] 21:11, 26 January 2013 (UTC) [reply]

Did Cameron write a novelization of his screenplay? If so, there might be some clues there. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 13:58, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Also, it's possible that there was originally more to the movie, and some of the parts cut out included Rose's life, post-Titanic. StuRat (talk) 19:35, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely possible. It happens a lot. But that still means the movie ends wherever they decided to end it. The bits they cut out cease to be parts of the movie. What happens to the characters after that remain part of the story on which the movie was based, but not of the movie itself. Important distinction, particularly given that movies often diverge massively from their sources. -- Jack of Oz ^[Talk] 04:32, 27 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your best bet might be to consult the Titanic wiki:[2] ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 13:08, 27 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

We do know she turns into an old lady who throws her jewelry into the ocean... Mingmingla (talk) 17:30, 27 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a bit confused by all the above conversation... It's a fictional character?!! Ergo what "she" did post-Titanic is surely in the minds of each one of us... In someone's mind she may have become a coccain addict, a heroin junkie, or possible even the first female president of the USA... No-one will know because she is FICTIONAL. gazhiley 13:09, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Cock o' the North

In our rather sparse Cock o' the North (music) article, there's an unreferenced claim that the tune "is a development of the 17th century English tune Sir Roger de Coverley, found in Playford's Dancing Master." I've listened to Sir Roger De Coverly on YouTube, and it sounds nothing like The Cock o' the North to me, except for the time signature. Can anyone find a refrence that shows a connection between the two? There are several Google results, but they could all have been lifted from our article. Also, I need a reliable source linking the Cock of the North to the well known Rugby song, "Aunty Mary had a canary down the leg of her drawers..." ;Alansplodge (talk) 17:35, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Couldn't find a source for the link, and I agree they don't sound connected. This mentions 'Aunty Mary' being sung to the "Cock of the North" tune. --Michig (talk) 17:53, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Here's another 'Aunty Mary' source. --Michig (talk) 17:58, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Perfect - many thanks. Alansplodge (talk) 18:50, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved

Chinese version of Musipedia?

Is there a Chinese site where I can look up songs (similar to how Musipedia works)? (Or is there a page on Wikipedia (English or Chinese will do) with a list of Chinese New Year songs?) I'm trying to figure out the Chinese title of this song listed on as spring festival here. BankerK (talk) 23:17, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
