Flight 1549 songs

I've been on YouTube viewing some videos regarding US Airways Flight 1549. Some of them have songs written and performed about everything. (One of the songs has some vulgar content). By any chance will any of the songs be compiled onto an album?72.229.135.200 (talk) 08:44, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I seriously doubt it, unless all the songs happen to be by professional musicians or by the same unsigned artist who decides to put them together into an album... It's very rare that random songs are thrown together from youtube unless they are official releases from an official artist... You could always find a way of making an album yourself using the clips there by downloading them to your computer, but careful of copyright issues...

People are answering every question except mine, How rude can this be? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.220.107.179 (talk) 08:09, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's not rude, or even intentional... it probably just means they don't know the answer... I for one don't have a clue... Gazhiley (talk) 09:05, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Joy Division song lyric question

Ever since I first heard the Unknown Pleasures album (20+ years ago), I thought that the first two lines of the song "Disorder" were as follows:

"I've been waitin' for a guy to come and take me by the hand

'Cause these sensations make me feel the pleasure of another man"

Someone told me today that I've been hearing it wrong. Does anyone here have an official lyrics sheet/CD booklet that they can look it up in for me? I know that lyrics sites on the web can be unreliable. I've listened to that section of the song over and over this afternoon and those still sound like the words to me. Thanks. --81.77.104.117 (talk) 15:38, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I know, Ian Curtis never committed his song lyrics to paper. There is some tangential information in the Joy Division article - 'The band refused to explain their lyrics to the press or print the words on lyrics sheets. Curtis told the fanzine Printed Noise, "We haven't got a message really; the lyrics are open to interpretation. They're multidimensional. You can read into them what you like."' --LarryMac | Talk 15:46, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Following up myself, there is some indication in the Unknown Pleasures article and talk page that the first bit is "waiting for a guide." --LarryMac | Talk 15:48, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. My friend thinks that it's "guide" and "feel the pleasure of a normal man". His reasoning? Because "it would sound a bit gay otherwise", to which I replied "I thought that was the point". I always thought that it was a song about a repressed homosexual (not Ian Curtis, just the character in the song). --81.77.104.117 (talk) 17:23, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What a bizarre argument. By the same logic, Brokeback Mountain would be a movie about completely heterosexual cowboys, because otherwise it'd be a bit gay... -- Captain Disdain (talk) 19:22, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Touching from a Distance, the book by Ian Curtis' widow Deborah, includes his complete lyrics. I would guess these lyrics would be about as accurate as possible. The first lines from Disorder are "I've been waiting for a guide to come and take me by the hand, could these sensations make me feel the pleasures of a normal man?".

Luciana Abreu page

Hi!

Why is impossible I edit the page Luciana Abreu?

Thank you! —Preceding unsigned comment added by FifthMore (talk • contribs) 18:04, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That page was semiprotected (meaning only signed-in users with at least a minimal edit history can edit it) on January by administrator NawlinWiki. Looking at the edit history on the article it's not immediately apparent why NawlinWiki did this, as the article doesn't appear to have been the subject of an unusual amount of vandalism (although some really nasty vandalism can be deleted outright by administrators, so that might be why). You could ask user:NawlinWiki to remove the protection. 87.112.17.229 (talk) 18:40, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You could also post on WP:RFPP asking for the protection to be removed, or create an account. Once it's autoconfirmed, you can then edit the article. You can also propose edits on the talk page of the article. Exxolon (talk) 19:28, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

NawlinWiki protected it because it was subjected to page-move vandalism by the Grawp vandal. I would have thought page-move protection would have been sufficient, but he also semi-protected it. The semi-protection is due to expire on March 5, which is less than a week away. —An gr 23:35, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
