Laughing My Butt Off

Why did they make Magaki from KOFlike ham? It makes me laugh knowing my bad guy loves ham. Shoot when I was fighting him I couldn't stop laughing the whole entire time. I kept on getting killed because I was cracking the ham jokes. And why did they make Shion from KOF series a male instead of a female?

Thank You

Always

Complete Soundtrack Listing

<moved from humanities desk>
Hi, I'm looking for a complete listing of all the songs used on the 1994 BBC TV show Takin' Over the Asylum. There is no official soundtrack to speak of, and I would simply rewatch all the episodes to determine the music, but the problem is is that certain songs are played only for a very short duration, or are just instrumental. In other words, making it very hard to determine what they are. It's apparently pretty infamous because it used a great deal of famous songs without clearance, such as Beatles, Beach Boys, Elvis etc. etc. ANY help is greatly appreciated.

And the award can't go to...

Why can't the Emmy telecast win an Emmy? David Milch 02:00, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Because Hollywood's shameless attempt to give itself awards would be too self-evident. Oh wait, that's what they do with the Emmys and the Oscars anyways... Kreachure (talk) 22:22, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's an honor just to be nominated

Did Kelsey Grammar set a record for being nominated for the same character on 3 shows? Susan Lucci 17:04, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's what it says in our article on him. Although, there is no source for the statement. Dismas|^(talk) 08:53, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Halo Soundtrack

Can someone ID the music that starts at around 1:13 in the Halo 3 Vidoc "Is Quisnam Protero Damno!"? It also plays in Halo 2 on the level Quarantine Zone I think. Thanks! 24.6.46.92 (talk) 17:32, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Arcade Fire

What's the name of the cranked instrument Arcade Fire uses on "Keep The Car Running"? - [1] Jonathan Ross calls it a hurdy gurdy. I always had something else in mind when I thought of a hurdy gurdy. Corvus cornix_talk 23:44, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That is indeed a hurgy gurdy they are playing. Weird instrument it is. Nice medieval sound though! Fribbler (talk) 23:18, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See Hurdy gurdy. Julia Rossi (talk) 01:50, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hm. I always had the image of that box shaped thing that either hung from a neck or stood on a single leg, usually with a monkey somewhere nearby. :) Corvus cornix_talk 17:08, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe you're confusing it with an organ grinder? Recury (talk) 17:41, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just wanted let Corvus Cornix know that I also had the same image. --LarryMac | Talk 17:55, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, that's it. Thanks, Larry. :) Corvus cornix_talk 18:23, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You, me and Larry too! Skittle (talk) 20:24, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Now we just have to figure out what Donovan was singing about. --LarryMac | Talk 13:03, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
