Help! — "The Chase"
"The Chase" appears as an instrumental on the Beatles' Help! soundtrack album. Some lyrics websites have lyrics for this song (unattributed), e.g:,. Is this legit or a hoax? If legit, who wrote it? Are there any recordings of Beatles performing it with lyrics? The lyrics would have been unfit for contemporary airplay, but seem like a plausible actual song. —2606:A000:1126:28D:4C9F:5854:38AB:65A9 (talk) 04:16, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
 * It's either someone's idea of a joke, or (more likely) a mix-up based on the song titles. Those lyrics are the lyrics of the song "The Chase is Better than the Catch" by Motorhead. --Viennese Waltz 08:43, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
 * OIC -- thanks —2606:A000:1126:28D:4C9F:5854:38AB:65A9 (talk) 14:54, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

Keanu Reeves Christmas Movie
Good Day!

I remember seeing Keanu Reeves in a christmas movie in the 1990s. I have searched for years for this movie but was never able to find it or its title. I remember something about Santa Claus and large toy soldiers.

Thank you for your answers!--2A02:120B:2C17:3CA0:D43D:F270:18DE:3724 (talk) 10:10, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

Brent Spiner as Puck in Gargoyles (TV series)
Is he a Puck or the Puck? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 10:29, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
 * If it's a proper name then neither. In English, proper names don't usually take an article.  -- Jayron 32 12:12, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Check the piped links. I think this is a question about whether the character in the cartoon is supposed to be the actual Puck from A Midsummer Night's Dream or whether it's just an example of the species (?) of fairy called a puck. That is, is the guy from the cartoon the same guy who frolicked around in the Shakespearean play. I have no previous knowledge of the show, but our List of Gargoyles characters article leads me to be believe that that the characters from the cartoon are indeed supposed to be the ones from the play.

 * Thanks, sorry if I was obscure, but that was what I meant. I was wondering if he belonged at Puck_(A_Midsummer_Night%27s_Dream) or not. Since there's an Oberon and a Titania around, I guess he qualifies. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 14:04, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Here's a writeup from a wiki about the series. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 05:16, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Or is he an incarnation of Peter Puck?  → Michael J Ⓣ Ⓒ Ⓜ 00:18, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
 * That hockey puck looks like a slice of sushi roll. Probably a lot harder, though. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 05:16, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

Please identify this actress
Any idea as to who she is? I think she might be a 1970s/80s US porn star. Thanks in advance. --TrogWoolley (talk) 21:44, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Google reverse image search result (seriously): ... this porn star looks familiar
 * Actually, I think it is from a TV commercial -- a Carmen Miranda spoof (see also: fruit hat); probably something to do with grapes (juice? jelly? wine?), but my search has been fruitless. —2606:A000:1126:28D:C8E1:69CB:AC99:9CE0 (talk) 23:43, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
 * A Carmen Miranda-type character was used as a mascot for Chiquita Bananas, and there was even a catchy song to go along with it. -- Jayron 32 16:23, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
 * A Google reverse image search came up with several other young ladies with darkish complexions wearing red head-gear, but none appeared to be this person. Matt Deres (talk) 13:00, 19 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Are we sure the photo is of an actress and not a drag queen? --Khajidha (talk) 03:12, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't think a reverse image search will work, as this is a screen shot from a bit of movie that I found on an old disk. It's definitely a porn film, although the origin is unknown. I assume it is from the US as most such films of this era were. --TrogWoolley (talk) 22:02, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
