Song
Hi! Do you know the title of the song that is quite similar to Star Academy's Life in Northern Town? There are animals in it's video. It is from the 90's I think. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.52.162.94 (talk) 16:06, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Could it be Sunchyme by Dario G? It uses a sample from Dream Academy's song, and has people dressed as animals in the video. Fribbler (talk) 18:44, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree, sounds like Sunchyme, used to be one of my favourite songs. Rfwoolf (talk) 19:46, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

A site that was lost
I'm not sure if this is the right section, but I'm not getting this answer ANYWHERE else....

I'm a huge Dragonball Z fan. I found this relatively popular and cool site called Gojiita's Domain, the URL was www.gojiita.com. It kind of faded away, and I forgot about it. I tried the URL today after about a couple of years, maybe more, and I got nothing. I Googled it, and there was only one pathetic forum with the name Gojiita's Domain, even the URL was different. Is there anyway to find out what happened to the site, or if it is still present somewhere on the Internet, holed up somewhere? Please do help.


 * I googled "www.gojiita.com" and found a connection to this URL . Is this not what you were seeking? // BL \\ (talk) 18:22, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Nope, definitely not that.


 * There's a brilliant website called archive.org which keeps an archive of most websites on the net. Give it a try! Rfwoolf (talk) 19:47, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Question about the 1986 film Lady Jane
Can someone give me the foreign titles of the 1986 film Lady Jane? David Pro (talk) 20:35, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

looking for a songname
Hi,

I searched songmeanings.net, all kinds of lyric sites, bit I can't find the song which goes like this: refrain: ho.. he ho... ho.. he ho. That's all I remembered. It's not from Snowwhite and the seven dwafs. It sounds like a Rolling Stones song, heard it on a classic rock station.

Do you guys have any suggestions? Thanks. Sealedinskin (talk) 21:40, 7 March 2009 (UTC)


 * The Laughing Policeman (song) 87.115.143.223 (talk) 00:52, 8 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Nope, that's a little too classic/old. But thanks for searching.


 * What about Wings "Mrs Vandebilt"? Link to words site here. --TammyMoet (talk) 09:54, 8 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, that's it! Thanks a lot!

Guitar chords
Anyone have any idea how to play these chords on guitar? (separated by a comma and space): F#sus/A#, F#/A#, D7sus4, G2/B, Gm/Bb? Thanks. —Cyclonenim (talk · contribs · email) 23:12, 7 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Some of them seem to be regular chords, minus the lowest root note. F#/A# could be played x1432x, or 6x8676; F#sus/A# could be x1442x, although that seems difficult to play, as does 6x9676. D7sus4 can be played xx0213 or x57585. I forget what G2 means but x20033 is G/B. Gm/Bb is similar, x10033. (I hope that notation is recognizable. Someone who actually knows anything about music theory can probably explain better.) Adam Bishop (talk) 08:08, 8 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm not a guitarist, but G2 indicates a G major chord with an added 2nd (which would be an A) and could be played x20233. The note after the slash signifies the note to be played as the lowest note in the chord.  If there is no slash, the lowest note should be the root of the chord. --Thomprod (talk) 22:47, 8 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Also, if you are playing with a bass player, just play the chord to the left of the slash. The bass player will play the bass note, and it will sound perfectly fine.  Generally, if I'm just playing full strum, with or without a bass player, I cheat sometimes, and skip the inverted chord, and just play it straight if I can't reach it.  As an aside, the rest of the chord notes are as follows:
 * sus = no third, add 2nd
 * sus4 = no third, add 4th
 * 2 = full chord with 2nd added (i.e. root, second, third, fifth). Sometimes also noted "add9" or just "9".  (9 = 2 an octave up)
 * m = drop 3rd a semitone (1/2 step, or 1 fret)
 * Hope that helps a bit. --Jayron32. talk . contribs  02:24, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Hm. I must disagree, I fear. "Sus" by itself, in my experience, is the suspended fourth, not the suspended second. 9 by itself generally means a dominant ninth chord -- it gets the 7th as well as the 9th. --jpgordon&#8711;&#8710;&#8711;&#8710; 02:42, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Agree with Jpgordon (and so does our article), that sus by itself usually means sus 4. Btw, I was puzzled about the F#sus/A# chord referred to, as that would contain both the "resolved" third as the bass note, and the suspended fourth, something I thought was almost a contradiction in terms (how can it be a suspension and at the same time resolved?). I would have called that an 11th chord, or an add 11 chord if the 7th and 9th were not included. But the article I linked to, states that in Jazz music, sus 4 chords sometimes include the third. --NorwegianBluetalk 10:47, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I suppose this rather non-standard chord description stems from the fact that most non-classical guitarists (myself included) don't know too much about harmony and musical theory - however, I do know how to finger a chord and how to move it along the fretboard with barrees. If I see a F#sus somewhere, I instantly know how to set my fingers without thinking about harmonic implications, and if I see F#sus/A#, I still instantly know which chord to use and which bass tone to play. So, even though the notation might be puzzling to people who actually know about musical theory, it is extremely useful to guitarists like me because it gives me all the information I need at a glance. -- Ferkelparade &pi; 15:10, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
 * You instantly know how to play F#sus4/A#? I had to experiment for quite a while, this is the best I could come up with (leaving the e-string open if you want the 7th included, otherwise muting it):

EAdgbé ====oo ||||                                    ||||                                     ||||                            4th fret |22| | |                            6th fret 4  5


 * --NorwegianBluetalk 19:37, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Err, no, not with that particular chord :P What I meant was that this particular style of notation is very common for guitarists, you often see stuff like D/A or G/B which doesn't seem to make much sense but which tells you instantly which note to play as a bass note. I do, however, instantly know how to finger a sus chord, and the notation F#sus4/A# instantly tells me which note to (attempt to) play in bass, but the actual chord is admittedly quite difficult. Right now, my fingers hurt a bit from trying to find a good position for that chord... -- Ferkelparade &pi; 19:57, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
 * On a total aside, speaking of harmonic implications, I just love this little sequence: Gbmaj7 Gbm(maj7) F#m7 B7 ...  the whole song looks way hard to play on keyboard but is actually real easy -- but still holy cow hard on guitar, I fear. --jpgordon&#8711;&#8710;&#8711;&#8710; 15:28, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
