The Supremes, "You Keep Me Hangin' On". Deor (talk) 01:45, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
That's the song, but is it the Supremes? The article lists a few covers. Adam Bishop (talk) 01:47, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
This is a cover by Kim Wilde, from her album Another Step. --McDoobAU93 (talk) 01:50, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

In Wikipedia I do miss the oratorio from G.F.Händel, recorded in 2007 in the "Opernhaus" Zürich with Cecilia Bartoli. I cannot find it below Georg Friedrich Händel nor below Cecilia Bartoli. It was recorded on DVD and blue ray by Decca. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.208.135.62 (talk) 17:51, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly, Wikipedia's mission is not to hold complete discographies of all notable artists and composers. A particular recording might happen to merit a mention, or it might not. You do not say which oratorio you're talking about, but if you have the details and a suitable citation, you might wish to add it yourself. Also, note that the composer was known as George Frideric Handel (no umlaut) in England, and hence that's the title of his English Wikipedia article. -- Jack of Oz ... speak! ... 19:26, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Background music in the introduction of the Monty Python and the Holy Grail soundtrack album

[edit]

Hello,

Does anyone know what the title of the piece of music used during the "executive introduction" of the Monty Python and Holy Grail soundtrack is? It can be heard during the first few seconds of this video (youtube).

Thanks! -- 67.68.49.127 (talk) 22:25, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think the genre is library music. That article says that Python made much use of the De Wolfe Music catalogue. This may not be helpful information, because "The library consists of over 70,000 tracks". Another such company is APM Music, who I think own the fairly well-known track "Workaday World", similarly twee and string-heavy, which was the first thing I thought of. 81.131.50.13 (talk) 10:06, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
