Musical patterns and endings
I have very little formal musical education beyond the few piano lessons of my youth and music classes in primary and secondary school (though, the school classes never taught me how to play musical instruments other than rare moments on the recorder and guitar). So, if you read something that is unclear, then that's probably because of my lack of education. Anyway, I often hear in several songs that a series of notes would end in a high pitch. Then, some sort of notation (actually, that squiggly line) marks a break. Then, a similar set of notes plays but ends in a low pitch. (Pitch? I don't even know if I'm using the right word here.) I just know there are two similar series of musical notes, marked by an obvious break, but the former series of notes ends with a higher key, while the other ends with a lower key. I'm using "key", because the piano has multiple keys, and the keys on the right side always sounds higher-pitched than the keys on the left side. So, anyway, does anybody notice this in music? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.4.236.254 (talk) 01:43, 20 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Not sure I understood you correctly, but you might be talking about sequences. In that article there are several examples with audio. Do you mean something like the beginning of "The Star-Spangled Banner" (listed as a "rhythmic sequence" in that article)? ---Sluzzelin talk  02:39, 20 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Do you mean something like this: Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody No. 9 @ 11:35? (or actually, any "show piece" by Liszt) Maineartists (talk) 14:42, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

Animation extension, song extension, video extension
I'm wondering if we have any articles on the topic of video extension. It's a common fad on YouTube to make extensions of songs or animations or memes, etc., seemingly for the purpose of entertainment or dares to watch the repetitive sequences all the way through. They usually are like "_____ for 10 hours", "10 hours ____", or "_____ - 10 hours". Sometimes, but more rarely, there are other numbers of hours to be extended to. Here are some examples:


 * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSodk10fC3M
 * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGlyFc79BUE

There are so many more.

It'd be interesting to learn about the history and origins of this fad, as well as any psychological aspects as to the reasons it may be amusing to create or watch. If the article doesn't exist, should I create it? Is it a notable topic? Philmonte101 😊😄😞 (talk) 04:59, 20 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Know Your Meme has a brief history and calls them 10-hour videos. Not sure Wikipedia sees KYM as a reliable source though. ---Sluzzelin talk  05:46, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

singer ID?
this is a pretty great English-language rendintion of The Varsovian ("Whirlwinds of danger..."). It's credited to one "Maredith Placencia" of the "Khosrean State Orchestra." What in the world is the "Khosrean state orchestra" and who is said Maredith? About the only google hit is some thread on reddit where someone says it's prank to make fun of Communists. But frankly, the performance is too great (and high production value) to be a prank. 80.171.81.66 (talk) 12:01, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Pranks, parodies and ironic performances are sometimes performed by fully professional musicians to a high standard. Consider for example "Weird Al" Yankovic and, somewhat more pertinent to your query, The Leningrad Cowboys. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 2.218.12.40 (talk) 14:41, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I think that it is the anthem of the old nation-state(in the online game Nation-States) Khosrea. 205.201.197.131 (talk) 14:48, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

Bhagam Bhag 2006 Hindi more questions
Akshay Kumar & his Friends are Hosting a Show Musical Group.

1. At the Hospital Morgue, why didn't the Commissioner tell [Akshay & his Friends] that Vikram's late Wife was Sister of Commissioner?

2. In January, when I posted a Previous Discussion, why did People lie to Me that Commissioner should Not go to Jail when He actually Tried to Frame Akshay & his Friends for Vikram's murder?(73.220.163.13 (talk) 16:59, 20 July 2017 (UTC)).


 * To say something should happen or not happen is an opinion. An opinion generally cannot be a lie.  The first reply to you there was that no one would go to jail, because the Commissioner is fictional – possibly a sarcastic way of hinting that you should stop asking questions that cannot be answered.  No one else said whether or not the Commissioner either would or should go to jail. —Tamfang (talk) 08:13, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Claiming someone "lied to you", regarding an opinion about a plot point, is a personal attack. Shut up yourself. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 19:10, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

You shut up Baseball Bugs. Then I'll stop coming here.(73.220.163.13 (talk) 01:07, 23 July 2017 (UTC)).
 * You came here before I even posted. And if you say "shut up" one more time, I'll send you to bed without supper. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 04:24, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

"Bed without Supper" sounds like a Death Threat to Me, so Hey man or woman, No more threats.(73.220.163.13 (talk) 09:45, 23 July 2017 (UTC)).
 * No, ya silly. It's a time-honored punishment parents dole out to trollish children. Presumably the kids will have learned their lesson by morning, and can have breakfast. In your case, it turns out to be a six-month block. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 11:04, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
