Did Alvin Burke, Jr. really commit suicide? This recent edit says so. I put "citation needed" just in case. --JDitto 17:52, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
 * The sentence you flagged refers to Chris Benoit, not Burke. At this stage of investigations, it's probably safer to write death instead of suicide. The former would be acceptable either way, while the latter is only appropriate if suicide is the official and certain cause of death in Benoit's case. 83.78.148.37 18:58, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Andrew Lippa's The Wild Party
I was just wondering if anyone knew what character/performer sings "Raise the Roof" on the original Off-Broadway cast recording of Andrew Lippa's "The Wild Party"? --kralahome 21:39, 27 June 2007 (UTC)


 * One of the customer reviews on the Amazon.com page for the recording implies that it is Julia Murney. -- LarryMac  | Talk  17:38, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * The All Music Guide seems to agree, she is labelled there as Julia K. Murney. Aside from the cast recording, she performed that song on a solo album called I'm Not Waiting.  -- LarryMac  | Talk  17:49, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

the song in my head
I have song in my head I havent heard for a long time that goes, "It was late in December" but thats all I can think of. After doing some research I believe the song is called "Late in December" by Herbert John "Jackie" Gleason. Im trying to find the lyric, but this blasted DoD comp isnt letting me get to any better databases.


 * Perhaps December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night) by The Four Seasons. "Oh, what a night, late December back in '63 / What a very special time for me / As I remember what a night." &mdash;Wayward Talk 23:39, 27 June 2007 (UTC)


 * From what I can tell, Jackie Gleason's Late in December was an instrumental. -- LarryMac  | Talk  13:18, 28 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Al Stewart's "Time Passages"? "It was late in December, the sky turned to snow/All 'round the day was going down slow/Night, like a river, beginning to flow/I felt the beat of my mind go drifting into" I Googled "It was late in December" lyrics. Skittle 18:20, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
