Billy Mills, Ron Clarke, hitting and pushing during running race, 1964 Olympics

Hi, I'm wondering what the rules during the 1964 Olympics were about pushing and if they are the same now. Was it legal for Clarke to push Mills during the 10,000m? Was(is) it considered justified if you are boxed in? Did Clarke or Mills have animosity towards the other after the race or maybe they considered boxing a runner in and pushing to get out part of the sport? Thanks, Rich Peterson 24.7.28.186 (talk) 06:01, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Pattern for making a Jumping Castle

I want some pattern for jumping castles for kids, how to make it?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Heunisb (talk • contribs) 19:04, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

We have an article on Inflatable structure that might lead to something useful. (The link called Jumping castle redirects to it.) ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 19:23, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be very cautious about making your own. They can be an accident waiting to happen[1][2]. Alansplodge (talk) 00:46, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"I wanna know what love is" by Foreigner....

....is a well-known hit song, but there is another song with the same title, though with different words, and with a adifferent tune, probably from somewhere in the 1980's.The chorus include words like " I wanna know what love is that makes it so special, I wanna know what love is that makes it last for ever,....". A male voice sings the verses, with a lady joining in duet style in the chorus. I am desperately searching for the artists' names, as well as the music source. Any leads would be greatly appreciated.196.210.224.248 (talk) 21:22, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The closest I could find is "I Wanna Know" by Joe, but it's not exactly as you describe. —Kevin Myers 13:58, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ibiza music

We don't have, or I can't find, a specific article about Ibiza-style or genre music, but it's a term I see all over the place on certain club-type compilation albums. I realize this probably has to do with a certain type of music from there, but is there a longer explanation anywhere? Shadowjams (talk) 22:06, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The most specific article I found is Balearic beat. There's also a bit under house music mid 1980s to early 1990s. ---Sluzzelin talk 22:10, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Happy Birthday

I have heard the song, Happy Birthday end with "happy birthday to you,without a shirt". Where did this originate? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wbhiggins (talk • contribs) 22:36, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've never heard this, but from context (at the end of a song) and scansion I'm guessing it's the same as the four-note tune "good evening friends". Searching for this, I find it mentioned in Long-Haired Hare as "vaudeville-era". Seems related to Shave and a Haircut. I'm not sure what to call these very short tunes. The Shave and a Haircut article calls it a couplet, but that's only because it has a first part and a response part. 81.131.30.20 (talk) 08:05, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

From context and scansion I'm guessing it's the same as "and many more", but I've never heard "without a shirt" either. Adam Bishop (talk) 08:28, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And neither have I, but I'm struck by the similarity to the phrase "without thy trousers on" (or rather "withaht thi trahsers on") added by some singers to the end of each verse of the Yorkshire song On Ilkla Moor Baht 'at. --Antiquary (talk) 17:31, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've always heard "with thi brahn boots on" in that place. --TammyMoet (talk) 08:06, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
