"In the mood"/"straight to the moon" song

Today I heard an R&B song on the station KBLX. It was sung by a male artist. It contains the word "once" and the phrase "in the mood" (I think it was "Once we're in the mood"), and it also contains the phrase "straight to the moon". Googling the lyrics has proven fruitless. What song is this? Enzingiyi (talk) 22:31, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You could try asking them here. I've called or emailed radio stations in the past with requests like this and they're happy to help. Matt Deres (talk) 17:45, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I went to that page and checked out KBLX's playlist. I remembered I was listening to that song at 1:09 p.m. Playing starting at 1:07 p.m. that day was "Rock Me Tonight (For Old Times Sake)" by Freddie Jackson -- if you check here you can see the lyrics. It does say "in the mood". And it turns out the lyrics are "shake to the groove", not "straight to the moon" -- no wonder Google couldn't find it!

fight taken overseas

I was looking at some images of DC Comics Bombshells on Google. One particular image caught my eye. It was of the heroines right by Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament during The Blitz. Is there a title or caption to go with the image I'm referring to?2604:2000:7113:9D00:7492:E5B4:7BD3:34F9 (talk) 11:41, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your IP address has changed, but your line of questioning is very familiar: stop trying to make us guess what you're talking about. I don't know if your plan is to trick us into boosting Google search numbers with these badly formed requests, but it's getting tiresome. Get the URL for the picture you're interested in and post it here as an external link. Even just paste it as plain text if you need to. But speaking in general, if the page you're on doesn't have a title, it's unlikely that we're going to figure one out (but you never know). Matt Deres (talk) 16:53, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not trying to make anyone guess what I'm talking about. I don't plan to trick anyone into boosting Google search numbers with badly formed requests. But as for the image, would this [Deleted] be more helpful?2604:2000:7113:9D00:7492:E5B4:7BD3:34F9 (talk) 22:32, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. The page you linked says it's number 035 and the article you linked in your first post suggests that the number actually refers to the 'digital chapter' 35, which is presumably part of issue #12 (assuming they all have three chapters). What exactly do you want to know? The Grand Comics Database has this material on that issue. The story is apparently called "The Battle of Britain!".

What I'm trying to figure out is if there's a poster of that image as well as a few others.2604:2000:7113:9D00:B81E:C008:E611:FADF (talk) 23:40, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure how you hoped for us to figure that out with your initial query, but you've obviously Googled the image. Were any of the links to poster companies? Doing a reverse image search using Tineye or Google images may give you a more targeted search than just a straight Google search as you'll get fewer instances of images unrelated to the one you want. There are companies online that will print posters (or mugs, t-shirts, etc.) for you, though they typically require that the images you use be your own or at least non-copyrighted, which these ones will be. How critically they check that is not an exercise I've ever taken. The DC poster store has a few related images, but not the exact one. You could always attempt to contact them; I doubt they will decide to create one based on your note, but requests really are a straightforward source of information to them of what people want - it couldn't hurt.

There were no links to any poster companies. I checked the store, like you suggested. The images looked very nice. But I found a couple other images featuring DC Comics Bombshells. [1] [2] They looked like wartime propaganda. What would anyone make of them?142.255.69.73 (talk) 05:29, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I would make of them that they are superhero(ine) comics set during WW2, but (by the drawing style) not made before about 1990. —Tamfang (talk) 06:26, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
