March 28

[edit]

Heaven is a place where nothing can go wrong

[edit]

In the movie Philadelphia during the party there is a beautiful song with that line. I think it is George Michael singing it, but I am not sure. Does anyone know the name? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 12:35, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Is this it?[1] If so, then the answer is Q Lazzarus. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots12:56, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm pretty sure its a cover version of Heaven (Talking Heads song). --Jayron32 13:13, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'd agree that it's probably a cover of the Talking Heads song though the lyrics have been changed slightly. The lyrics I know, and found online, don't say "... where nothing can go wrong" but instead are "... where nothing ever happens". †dismas†|(talk) 13:25, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Baseball Bugs, Jayron32, and dismas. I'm much obliged! :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 13:14, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Correlation between single release & production of a video

[edit]

What percentage of songs released as a single have a video been made to it, and for what percentage is it the other way round? Motivating instance is Shaggy Reggae Vibes (Youtube), not released as a single, but with a video. I thought this to be rather unusual, at least among mainstream musicians. --KnightMove (talk) 13:44, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

How far back? For example, are you counting Soundies? ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots13:48, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
