Radio show theme song
I remember listening to a radio show that used The Verve's Bitter Sweet Symphony as it's opening theme. Does anyone know which radio program that was?

 * Tapestry, on CBC, uses it as their theme. I want to say a show on Air America Radio also used it, but I can't find any evidence of that, searching. [[User:Some jerk on the Internet|Some jerk on the Internet] (talk) 14:36, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

 * I have no idea but I don't think it's Russell Crowe. And I agree that you're best and easiest course is emailing the maintainer of the site.  They probably made the banner themselves and would therefore know.  Dismas |(talk) 19:45, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

100% League Wins
Do you know of any FA registered soccer team at local or professional level that have completed a season of fixtures winning every game? My son Andrew manages a local team in Bournemouth called " The Shoulder of Mutton United". They have just completed their fixtures winning all 20 matches and have their own web site so that you can verify their results. I have been watching soccer at all levels these past 60 years and I do not know of any other team achieving this patticular feat. Arsenal went close some years ago but they did have a few drawn games. I look forward to your reply with interest.

when im dead song heavy metal
whats the song called where they say "when im dead" its heavy metal it sounds like the guy is growling very throaty. --Tom12350 (talk) 12:21, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Death is an extremely common theme in many types of metal, as well as growling vocals. Do you have any other information about the song that might help identify it? Is it a new release? Where did you hear it? Anything additional would probably help. 10draftsdeep (talk) 13:26, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

it sounds like it was made in the 90's or 2000's they say "when im dead" and mabye " let me rest" or  "lay me to rest" —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tom12350 (talk • contribs) 14:03, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmmmm. Lyric might be Spirit In The Sky but that's not heavy metal.  However, there are lots of cover versions listed in the article so one of those may be the version that you're thinking of.--Frumpo (talk) 16:22, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Well, hair metal bands Bon Jovi and Def Leppard have songs called "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead" and "When I'm Dead and Gone", respectively, but that style of music involves fruity screaming rather than growling. Warren Zevon has a growly voice and a predilection for crunchy guitars, and is among the many other artists who have a song titled I'll Sleep When I'm Dead. Then again Rage_(band) are a genuine heavy metal band with a song titled "Wake me when I'm Dead". I also discovered that Rolf Harris sings the lyric "when I'm dead" in the song "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport", could that be what you're thinking of? 86.21.204.137 (talk) 16:59, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I seriously doubt anyone without a grave head injury would confuse Rolf Harris with a heavy metal artist. -- Jayron  32  04:04, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
 * There is quite simply just not enough information to get this one. A metal song that could have been released in a twenty year span that mentions death is like trying to find the title and artist of a love song that mentions something about a relationship. It would help, to some degree, if we knew if this song was heard on radio, a commercial or video game. Also, any clue as to the tempo would help as well. (was it fast and hard or slow and heavy?). 10draftsdeep (talk) 13:32, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
