Which computer game uses Trentemøller - Evil Dub as menu music?

[edit]

I'm looking for a computer game, it could be browser or stand-alone- that uses the intro part of Trentemøller - Evil Dub as menu music in atleast one of its menu screens.

The first 30 seconds, at very least- could be that part nicely looped.

Rings a bell for any gamers out there? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.230.111.20 (talk) 01:16, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds similar to some menu screens from some of Ubisoft's Ghost Recon series - but definitatelt isn't the same.77.86.115.45 (talk) 15:59, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't get it. --70.129.185.33 (talk) 02:26, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think you need to have seen Soul Eater (manga) - see this vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1YqAvk-yCM - never seen it but is just funny.

Will & Grace Singing

[edit]

In the episode Dames At Sea in Will & Grace, Will and Jack are singing a song with with the lyrics at the end of the scene "Na na na na na" while Karen and Stan's "whore" is fighting and the "whore" throws Karen off the side of the boat and walks away. Which is this song?174.3.123.220 (talk) 06:52, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It appears as though this actually happened in "Humongous Growth", one episode earlier. According to the transcript on twiztv.com it is "Crocodile Rock". I have never seen the episode, and cannot confirm. ---Sluzzelin talk 14:03, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I have not seen the episode (nor even any episode from what I can recall) but the first song that came to my mind was "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye". Dismas|(talk) 06:09, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I can think of several songs with "na-na-na-..." in them. Even the theme song for Clarissa Explains It All had that "lyric". If someone could find a youtube of any part of it, that would probably remove all doubt - although if the script says it's "Crocodile Rock", that might be what it is - although I can't recall any "na-na-na" stuff in it, but it's been awhile. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots06:21, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Here's the clip in question:[1] It does seem to be "Crocodile Rock", although I think that bit is more like "ya-ya" than "na-na". In any case, Elton John's job is safe. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots06:25, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict)Okay, that is "Crocodile Rock" which makes a certain sense since, if I'm not mistaken, one of the show's characters is gay as is Elton John. Dismas|(talk) 06:36, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, both Jack and Will are, which was perhaps part of the joke, but it was a great scene. A lot of folks would like to have thrown Karen into the ocean at one time or another. Elton John himself once made a cameo appearance when the subject came up about a "gay mafia" or some such. Meanwhile, it's neither "na" nor "ya", it's "la". I told you it had been awhile.[2]Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots06:39, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Straying a bit from the original question, I'm reminded of when Elton John got married in 1984, and the WLS radio announcer (probably Larry Lujack) said, "Here's a news story... Elton John has gotten married... and his new bride is... female!" ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots06:48, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

dvd release

[edit]

will meet the applegates ever be released on dvd? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Giptonguy (talkcontribs) 12:40, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sadly, Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. I suspect only News Corporation can answer that question. I would say it's unlikely to be a priority.--Shantavira|feed me 15:02, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Try looking on the official website, if there is one. Often they announce DVD release dates there. Chevymontecarlo 18:26, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It is on DVD: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000ROAK2W/imdb-button/ Everard Proudfoot (talk) 01:09, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It's not. That is a completely different film. The excellent Meet the Applegates is what we are talking about here.--Shantavira|feed me 05:46, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry. I have no idea why that title came into my head. Never mind.  :) Everard Proudfoot (talk) 17:46, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
