Tekken 6 question
In Tekken 6, I've recently achieved all the levels except where you have to fight Alisa after fighting Jin Kazama and I need help. I've read questions and answers on Q&A websites, but none of them are any help to me. I'd appreciate any help because I've been trying for many many days now. I know other people have said that to try and finish her henchmen before her, but the controller leads me to her instead. SwisterTwister  talk  02:16, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

9Live
Why will 9Live close down on August 9, 2011? --84.61.147.210 (talk) 08:21, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
 * See this article. Basically, it was no longer profitable. Nanonic (talk) 13:03, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

Will 9Live be replaced by sixx? --84.61.147.210 (talk) 15:51, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

Songs that reference Magic
Not a proper reference desk question, I know, but I'd be grateful for any examples to add to this brainstorm of songs which reference magic. The criteria are: My list begins:
 * 1) Very prominent references in the title, chorus or frequently-repeated phrase better than subtler ones.
 * 2) The word "magic" preferred to related words like "spell" or "illusion".
 * 3) Big chart hits which everyone knows preferred to obscure album tracks.
 * 4) Songs where the connection is obvious are better than ones where you'd need foreknowledge to make the connection (e.g. The Magic Flute or Hedwig's Theme).
 * 5) The more eclectic the list becomes, the better.
 * You Can Do Magic - Limmie & the Family Cooking
 * Every Little Thing She Does is Magic - The Police
 * A Kind of Magic - Queen
 * Magic - Pilot
 * I put a Spell on You - Nina Simone
 * Love Sex Magic - Ciara & Justin Timberlake AndyJones (talk) 11:06, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Do You Believe in Magic (song) Staecker (talk) 11:43, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

Magic by Olivia Newton-John. Britmax (talk) 11:49, 7 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Ramble On by Led Zeppelin. The Wizard by Black Sabbath. Blood Sugar Sex Magik by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. --Saddhiyama (talk) 11:51, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
 * "Ramble On"? That doesn't exactly meet the OP's criteria as it's not very prominent and, dare I say, barely a passing mention is made in the line "How years ago in days of old, when magic filled the air."  It's basically a song about losing a girl.  Dismas |(talk) 12:06, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Perhaps not. But it is a well-known song by a wellknown band, and it does have an entire verse dedicated to Tolkien's Middle Earth universe (which can be said to be magical in its own right). --Saddhiyama (talk) 12:11, 7 August 2011 (UTC)


 * "Black Magic Woman" - Santana, err... I've heard this song for years and always thought it was written by Santana but apparently not.  psst... Song titles should be in double quotes per MOS:TITLE  -- Dismas |(talk) 11:57, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

 * If Jazz standards count, That Old Black Magic by Harold Arlen and Johnny Mercer (1942). AndrewWTaylor (talk) 20:31, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

 * "Magic" by Bruce Springsteen. --Viennese Waltz 08:02, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
 * "Abracadabra" might actually be the worst song ever, but it's very well known and very about magic. Look out though, because it will reach out and grab ya. Recury (talk) 20:05, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
