The sims like songs

Can anyone recommend artists that play music like the sims (not the the sims 2). They are jazz right??? If i knew the kind of jazz that those songs are (if they are jazz) I would try to find for myself, since i dont know i am asking here. 189.97.193.20 (talk) 02:25, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The man behind the music in The Sims is Jerry Martin (musician), although you wouldn't find that out by reading the main article on the game (someone should add him to the article). If you go to his Last FM page you'll see a bunch of similar artists listed. That should start you off. --Richardrj ^talk ^email 09:00, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I gone there, but the most related artists are just other guys that worked om maxis games (the sims expansions and sim city). The other related artists are just other video game composers almost all the time having nothing to do with the sound that the Jerry Martin made for the The Sims (a unreal artist is an example, a megaman composer is other). That is possible because the guys that listen are like me and dont know something (non-gaming) similar to listen. 189.97.25.10 (talk) 15:20, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Track listing of a Norwegian album

I'm searching Norwegian singer Anne Vada's discography to name a song. I found track listings of her albums on the web except an album titled "Grenseløs" or "No Boundaries".[1] -- JSH-alive ^{talk • cont • mail} 11:33, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The best google hit I can come up with is this one, which states that "Grenseløs" is Anne Vada's concert album, and lists three of the songs only. Two of these are among the most popular Norwegian songs written in the last few decades:

Sommernatt ved fjorden (Summer night by the fjord).

- A beautiful song written by Ketil Bjørnstad, about the romance between Hans Jæger and Oda Krohg of the Christiania boheme (what? redlink, gotta fix that, well, here are the Spanish and Norwegian versions). The song was originally released in 1978 on the Album no:Leve Patagonia. Here is a YouTube version sung by a 12-year old girl.

Vårsøg

-Music by no:Henning Sommerro to a poem by no:Hans Hyldbakk, written in the spring of 1945 while Norway was still under German occupation. The song is a tribute to spring, where "spring" is a metaphor for liberation. According to this source, Anne Vada's version was a South-Korean hit in 2002.

The third song listed is All I ask of you by Andrew Lloyd Webber. --NorwegianBlue^talk 22:46, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I believe it's not complete listing. I feel there's more...--JSH-alive ^{talk • cont • mail} 11:18, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Of course. As I said, what I was able to find on the web, was three of the songs only. Clearly, there are more. I also tried the web site of a major Norwegian online record shop, but the album wasn't in their catalogue. --NorwegianBlue^talk 12:14, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone help me locate this video?

I realize this is an absolutely ridiculous request, but this is going to drive me insane if I don't find it.

I'm looking for a specific animutation video. The site I saw it on was not Youtube, although this video may also exist on Youtube.

The video was set to a song with a Japanese, male singer. The song was mostly in English. The lyrics actually had something to do with summer and nostalgia, but as sung by the singer, they sounded more like something about monkeys, fighting and homosexuality. It was a moderately well-known animutation.

I know this is incredibly vague, but I have managed to locate things based on incredibly vague descriptions before. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? 99.245.92.47 (talk) 12:52, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Law & Order January 21

Wikipedia was featured on on Law & Order last night, as a suspect had been vandalising a page for years before committing a murder. What was the page (a sorority)? I think I remember what the name was, and there is no page for it...in that case, which page was used? Grsz ¹¹ 13:59, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not having a clue as to the actual answer, I'll point out that it's trivially easy to save a couple pages from WP (an article and its corresponding edit page) and rewrite them to one's needs, hosted locally away from interfering admins. I would not be surprised to find that the show did something of this sort -- which, if true, means that there was no WP page used. — Lomn 20:13, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

All it was was a simple and brief shot of a computer screen, they then mentioned the editing later. It wasn't close enough that actual text was seen, but I could make out a table of contents and an infobox. It seemed as if it was just a quick shot of an actual page. Grsz ¹¹ 20:49, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The sorority was fictional, so there wouldn't be a real Wikipedia page on it. I loved how they tracked down the guy by the vandalism he had made to Wikipedia. :) AnyPerson (talk) 23:02, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If only we could really do that reliably, we could cut down on vandalism much easier here! --Jayron32.talk.contribs 03:27, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't see the episode, but it kind of sounds inspired by Bruce_Edwards_Ivins in which case the sorority could possibly have been modeled after Kappa Kappa Gamma. TresÁrboles (talk) 07:11, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How does Jack Bauer know the number to ring in episode 3 in the latest season of 24 to get hold of bill —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.198.252.5 (talk) 14:08, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Our article on audience measurement will shed some light on the matter. -- Captain Disdain (talk) 22:50, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
