1990s Brit talk host? Video clue.
Anyone know who this is, and/or what show he hosted/cohosted/appeared on. It's a promotional segment for Disney-MGM Studios. -- Zanimum (talk) 02:41, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I think it's Ross Kelly, who presented GMTV.--Michig (talk) 07:07, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks! That does look quite like him. Muppet Wiki is appreciative! --  Zanimum (talk) 15:53, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

Movie title
What's the name of the movie about transgender (self proclaimed "drag queens")women (mtf) who go on a road trip after a drag queen pageant and they're car breaks down outside of a small,depressing, and somewhat conservative town. I remember the two friends brought along a hispanic woman they met after the pageant who wanted to come with them but they're not very accepting of her and call her a "drag princess" saying she wasn't a real drag queen yet. Thanks for the help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.176.137.161 (talk) 04:04, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Haven't seen it, but it sounds like The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Clarityfiend (talk) 06:20, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

That's not it, it takes place in the U.S. and they're in a car not a bus. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.176.137.161 (talk) 07:02, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
 * It's probably listed at Category:Transgender in film and television. Sorry but I don't have time to go through that list right now but maybe one of the titles will ring a bell. --Viennese Waltz 08:34, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
 * It's To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar, which is sort of an Americanized version of Priscilla. Adam Bishop (talk) 10:25, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

That's it! Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.176.137.161 (talk) 01:54, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Lyrics
Could you give me the lyrics of the selected part of this song? It has a few lines my English listening skills just won't grasp. --145.94.77.43 (talk) 20:54, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Have you tried typing in "A pistol for Ringo lyrics" to Google and seeing what comes up? --TammyMoet (talk) 22:27, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Nothing useful. It's a rare version of that song. --145.94.77.43 (talk) 22:45, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I tried that as well and you're right that nothing useful comes up upon first glance. Could you tell us what part you're having trouble with?  There's almost a minute of song there.  What parts are you having trouble with?  Dismas |(talk) 22:49, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
 * The lines after "ready at his side" and "shoot to kill". --145.94.77.43 (talk) 23:11, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Here's what I get from listening to the section you isolated: "Let me tell the story of Ringo / Of the wild one who had lived by his gun[s] / He wore them ready at his side / They were marked to show the men who had died / If you crossed his will / He would shoot to kill / Though he'd smile his eyes were icy cold..." The singer's enunciation is a bit odd. It took me several listens to get it. The singer is stated as being Maurizio Graf. Possibly singing phonetically? Note: We have an article on A Pistol for Ringo, but it's of no help. Further note: We have an article on the real-life gunfighter Johnny Ringo. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 00:50, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
