Ear worm!
Hello Wikipedians,

I have a song stuck in my head, and I only know a bit of it, and google isn't helping at all! I think it's a dance remix, I don't think it's new. It goes "eh eh-ehoh eh" I don't really know how to show what the tune is through writing, I hope you can help! Thanks 65.255.185.142 (talk) 08:38, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

I don't think you're going to have much luck unless you can record yourself humming or scatting it. 202.10.89.143 (talk) 10:46, 10 April 2010 (UTC)


 * "Cancelled" by Milk & Kisses. I'm reminded of Clarence Frogman Henry's "Ain't Got No Home" -- but that's "woo woo", not "eh oh". Pepso2 (talk) 11:14, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Tune from Mickey Mouse cartoon
What is the name of the tune played in this Mickey Mouse cartoon at around 7:37?--99.251.239.89 (talk) 17:35, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
 * "The Girl I Left Behind". ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 17:45, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
 * It has many variations. Here's one mentioned in the article. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 17:50, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
 * The first one that came to mind, which I finally found, is this from the opening credits of She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, a great western classic from John Ford and John Wayne. "The Girl I Left Behind" starts about 1 minute in. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 18:05, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I have heard this song in several Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons, and I looked up the name several years ago -- which I had forgotten since then. The only cartoon I can remember off the top of my head that has an example of this song is 1940's A Wild Hare. (I didn't see this cartoon mentioned in the song's article, perhaps it would make a good candidate for addition.) Bugs Bunny walks off at the end of the cartoon playing an arrangement similar to the O.P.'s Mickey Mouse cartoon on a carrot. Often the song is used in an American Revolution setting -- which makes me think Bunker Hill Bunny uses it as well -- although that is not the case here. Xenon54 / talk / 18:22, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Yep, at about 7:55. It's an old song with an Irish flavor and more variations than I can count. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 18:30, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
 * One big reason why particular songs got used over and over again in the cartoons, aside from fitting the scene: They were public domain, hence no royalties had to be paid. Other songs that were used frequently were songs that WB already owned the rights to, such as songs written for films they had produced. "The Lady in Red" would be an example of the latter. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 18:33, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

What anime was this and what game was this?
There is an anime that I have seen that has a part or episode where a spacecraft heads towards the Earth and transforms into a space shuttle upon entering its atmosphere. It then transforms into a boeing 747 to land in some airport. All while the charcters inside get changed and masqueraded in some wierd digital-like way by some evil guy. Ive seen this a long time ago and I didn't manage to see or find out what it was called. Do you know what anime is this?

Also, there was a tiling game that I played also long ago where you have to put jewel pieces of various shapes and sizes into large figure slots. The figure slots move from right to left as youu complete each one in a particular set. Jewels come from a old conveyer belt on the bottom right of the screen, and they can be smashed into smaller pieces using a crusher-like thing on the bottom left of the screen. Once a particular set is completed, you get to do a sort-of boss stage, in which you have to complete a particular figure slot on the left while a mythical creature of some sort (like a centaur) on the right slowly destroys the pieces you put up. The myth creature is different for each set, and the harde the set, the more difficult the creature you have to face is. I dont remember how many sets there were, but there was quite a lot. I'm asking this because I really enjoyed the beautiful music and landscapes that were in the game, and the artwork done for the creatures is just spectacular. Anyone know what game this was? Yes, its a PC game. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.75.158.193 (talk) 22:13, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Jewel Charm sounds a bit like the game you described. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:03, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Nope, thats not it. There were no characters in the game, the pieces don't have to be in a particular shape or color, and sets are not worth anything. Also, there were different mythological creatures for each level (like a centaur, phoenix, unicorn, etc.), not just a dragon. Remarkable gameplay similarity, though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.75.158.199 (talk) 10:09, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
