Middle-Eastern Culture Club in London, UK
I am a secondary school student living in the capital of the UK who is currently fascinated by the cultures of the Middle East. Is there any kind of club/association in London, preferably one which caters for young people, which promotes the development of such interests through discussions, forums, external visits and similar activities? It would be exceptionally good if such an organisation is accomodating towards those, such as a Chinese person like myself, who have little familial cultural background in the Middle East and whose knowledge is merely scholarly.

 * I would suggest you start asking jewish and/or muslim students in your school. Maybe they can put you in contact with a local imam or rabbi.  Most religious organisations run a variety of youth groups and I would be very surprised if they were to refuse to talk to you simply because you are Chinese.  There are of course other aspects to culture besides religion and there are are other (non-jewish and non-muslim) cultures in the Middle East.  Luckily, London is one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the World, so you should be able to find someone from almost every culture on Earth.  Astronaut (talk) 02:25, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

DBSK - Mirotic?
What are the lyrics to DBSK Mirotic? In Hiragana(Japanese Characters), English, and Kanji(Think that's what it is, for English writen japanese..? Ex. - Person(English) - Hito(Kanji?)). Gothrokkprincess (talk) 18:16, 15 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Did you try googling for DBSK Mirotic lyrics? Several hits bring up links like [this] with the lyrics (assuming they are correct) in Romanized Korean, English and Hangul (the Korean written language).  I haven't yet seen the lyrics anywhere in Japanese, probably because DBSK are a Korean band.  To get a full Japanese translation would probably need the services of a translator to get all the nuances of meaning correct into the mixture of Kanji+Hiragana+Katakana that would appear in a Japanese document.

 * But there's more... I've found out that by searching for Tohoshinki (the group's Japanese name), I get this link, which has the lyrics to the Japanese version of the song in Romanji, English and Japanese (mixed Kanji+Hiragana+English, like one would expect on the CD sleeve notes).

Tune off The Simpsons
What is the tune to which Krusty sings the Little Miss Springfield song ("L the losers in her wake, I the income she will make, T is for her tooth-filled mouth, T is for her tooth-filled mouth") in "Lisa the Beauty Queen"? --AdamSommerton (talk) 20:53, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
 * For those trying to answer the question, this is the musical segment in question. 90.193.232.41 (talk) 23:30, 15 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Sounds like Christmas Alphabet to me.--TammyMoet (talk) 09:13, 16 May 2009 (UTC)


 * No, not Christmas Alphabet, thanks anyway. --AdamSommerton (talk) 21:53, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
 * L-O-V-E by Nat King Cole, I think. Rmhermen (talk) 04:02, 17 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Nice try, but still not it. --AdamSommerton (talk) 22:44, 17 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I thought it was reminiscent of The Chipmunk Song. Adam Bishop (talk) 03:04, 18 May 2009 (UTC)


 * When The Simpsons want to parody a song they usually get one of their composers to write a new version in the same style, but different enough so the copyright people aren't involved. So the best you are likely to find is the song it was originally based on, which won't be quite the same. Fine examples of this are the songs from Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala(Annoyed Grunt)cious and My Fair Laddy. DJ Clayworth (talk) 17:38, 19 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I've heard the tune before (although I can't remember enough to elaborate on this), I'm pretty sure it's a "traditional", even generic tune (like John Brown's Body or The Alphabet Song/Twinkle Twinkle Little Star). --AdamSommerton (talk) 22:27, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
