Song Title

I wanted to know the title of a song I heard, it was around in the '80s, I believe. The one with that music video where that dude was animated in a white background. It was parodied in Family Guy where Chris was pulled into the orange juice shelf. A reply would be appreciated,--$UIT 01:06, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

The song is Take on Me by a-ha. 161.222.160.8 01:28, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

The most expensive music video produced at the time, a massive worldwide hit, and the best known pop song to ever have come out from Norway. 惑乱 分からん * \)/ (\ (< \) (2 /) /)/ * 11:18, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Ding Hoy little Feathermerchants

Where did the phrase "Ding Hoy little Feathermerchants" come from? I have been able to discover that many moons ago on an old Chicago kids TV show, a man named Chuck Bill would greet his audience with this phrase. But.....where did it come from and what does it mean?

Thanks for you help.

Carlos Mencia

So are the rumors true about Mencia that he stole some of his jokes? Or are the rumors fake? Is there any evidence that Rogan is right about his accusations? --Agester 03:39, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Humoresque

Could anyone please tell me what opera "Humoresque" (Dvorak) belongs to? Thanks. --218.186.9.5 11:53, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

It doesn't belong to any opera. It was originally a piece for solo piano, and has since been subjected to countless arrangements for other instruments. JackofOz 11:56, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Camp Lo "Luchini AKA This Is It" video

I have been looking for information on Camp Lo's music video "Luchini AKA This Is It". There is a rapper at the end of the video that doesn't seem to be a member of Camp Lo but I cannot identify him.

House of Leaves film?

Does anyone know if they have or will they make a film out of House of leaves. it would seem this novel is exceptionally right for making a film of it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.21.171.25 (talk) 16:57, 30 March 2007 (UTC).

According to the author in this interview, he does not want to make it into a movie. ~ Amalas rawr ^{=^_^=} 17:44, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Pretty uncool of him...I think

The Mayfair Witches

Do you know if there is a Mayfair Witches publication out that is a graphic novel? Do you know if this will ever make it film? --Juliet 18:28, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

As far as your statement about being a member of a company, you should read WP:NPOV and WP:COI before you start editing, they'll let you know about what is and isn't allowed and what is & isn't frowned upon by others. - X201 21:57, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
