[edit]O Superman in the British Charts
[edit]What was the song that kept O Superman off the top of the British Charts? DuncanHill (talk) 22:53, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
- "It's My Party" by Dave Stewart & Barbara Gaskin. --Viennese Waltz 22:57, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
- (ec) According to [1] (reachable by two clicks from the reference in the O Superman article) it was the Dave Stewart and Barbara Gaskin cover of "It's My Party". --Jayron32 22:58, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
- One click, actually (maybe that's why I beat you to it :)) --Viennese Waltz 23:01, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
- Thank you. How remiss of me not to know which ref to click in the article and then follow and then navigate to another page to find the answer. Three clicks (once on the ref number, then on the reflink itself, then another to find the chart for the week). DuncanHill (talk) 23:24, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
- No problem. What are the reference desks for if not to make you feel inadequate and lazy! ;) The preceding was a joke. --Jayron32 23:28, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
- By the way, it was this Dave Stewart, in case anyone got confused by your link to a dabpage. Two can play at that game :) DuncanHill (talk) 23:34, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah, I forgot for a second that there were two Dave Stewarts. Wouldn't it be great to have a band with Dave Stewart, Paul Young on vocals, Roger Taylor on drums, Mick Jones on guitar, and then everyone could get major confused. --Jayron32 03:12, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Aaaah
[edit]What do you call the "Aaaaah" in a song; specifically; the part in the solo of Stop Crying Your Heart Out. --Addihockey10 e-mail 23:43, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
- A slurred vocal note (or a sustained vocal note if it doesn't change pitch.) 99.24.223.58 (talk) 02:57, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
- See Slur (music) and Non-lexical vocables in music for articles about this. --Jayron32 03:08, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
- Ah - silly me. As a guitarist I should know that. Thanks! --Addihockey10 e-mail 05:15, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
