- According to this site, it's Robbie Rivera vs Billy Paul - Sex. --LarryMac | Talk 01:11, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I have always used google if i know some lyrics, just type in what you know plus "lyrics" and it usually comes up 67.91.46.2 20:08, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I done this but didn't found 201.79.35.20
The music that the guys said on the forum is not the music that i was looking.
I've done some research and have come across a Frank Zappa song. Lyrics are <a href="http://www.metrolyrics.com/sex-lyrics-frank-zappa.html">here</a>
There's a sci-fi novel I read part of a while ago, but I didn't have the time to finish it, so I'd like to find it and start reading it again.
The novel had something to do with a "calling", where people would have to tether themselves down to prevent themselves from wandering off in a certain direction. The only other thing I remember about it is that the cover had some very beautiful artwork, with a field of grass, some sheep, and some sort of structure in the background I think. —Zachary talk 06:16, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't know about the book, but it sounds like a rip-off of the Sirens in Homer's Odyssey. Fortunately, I think it unlikely he will sue. StuRat 06:22, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Nevermind, I found out that it was Sean McMullen's Souls in the Great Machine. —Zachary talk 06:23, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
What song is it that is played at the end of Reservoir Dogs over the end credits? I think Coca Cola ripped it off, something about putting "the lime in the coke". Can anyone tell me the song? Cheers к1иgf1$н£я5ω1fт 13:23, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I forget exactly when it appears in the film, but the one coke used was Coconut (song). Algebraist 13:57, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- And according to IMDb, it's the original Harry Nilsson version. Algebraist 13:58, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Indeed, and we can thank its inclusion in Reservoir Dogs for the "wonderful" Dannii Minogue version. Rockpocket 05:40, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Excellent, thats been annoying me for many a moon. Thanks very much :) к1иgf1$н£я5ω1fт 14:34, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- It's been annoying people since 1971. —Tamfang 17:34, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I know the Golden Horse Awards and Hong Kong Film Awards. Chinese refers to the language, not the country. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 59.189.64.186 (talk) 14:48, 12 May 2007 (UTC).[reply]
moved from Wikipedia:Reference desk/Miscellaneous#comedic sound effects:
Hi everyone, I am trying to find a sound bite of the sound "wa wa waaaaa" (like a Trumpet or something) that is commen in cartoons where there a screw up of some sort, or in bloopers... the origin of this sound will be a nice bonus, thanks for the answeres :) 88.153.139.194 02:19, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- It's a muted trombone. See Wah-wah. A search for charlie brown teacher wav might get you a sound file (of questionable copyright status). --TotoBaggins 03:27, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't think that's it. I think what you're referring to comes from Ennio Morricone's soundtrack to The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (though Morricone could got it elsewhere, but I don't think so); whenever something surprising happens, the soundtrack goes "Wah wah waaaaa...." You can here a version of it at seconds 12-14 of this video: [1], or try 2:19 at here. Try renting the movie and seeing if that's what you're thinking of - it's worth seeing anyway. :-) zafiroblue05 | Talk 06:38, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- That's closer. The cartoon effect is always a descending series of theee notes, though. I'm thinking the Three Stooges might have used it, but I'm not sure. The third note is often really warbled, a lot like the signature note in Dragnet. —Steve Summit (talk) 14:24, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- yeah, i am referening to the three notes cartoon version. not to the "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" thingy.... still in all the internet i cant find it... 88.153.139.194 16:50, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Odd, the version now playing in my head has four descending notes. —Tamfang 20:35, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm sure that sound has a name. Maybe ask at the entertainment desk? It's the "bwah wah wahhhhh" sound that plays when something disappointing happens to one of the characters. I always thought of it as the "blooper sound" but that doesn't register on Google... it is probably a trombone, but I don't know. --24.147.86.187 18:59, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- A trumpet or trombone can make the sound equally well, with the trombone being able to go to a lower pitch. See Mute (music) A plunger mute starts closed over the bell of the instrument and as it is removed the WAA sound is made. Flutter-tongueing can create the rough tone described.Edison 19:41, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Got it. I think you are talking about this sound. IrishGuy talk 01:22, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
