I'm currently working on producing a downbeat rap album, I am currently stuck on finding a suitable sample for a song about unrequited love. I'm not usually one to fail to find records, but I've been looking for the past couple of weeks and so far have only really come up with "Land of Make Believe" by Bobby Sherman (which, I am told, was already sampled by JMT). Ideally (but if the song you'd recommend does not fit into this, feel free to recommend it anyway) I'd like something which I can both isolate a short instrumental (without drums, or with drums faintly) part from which I can sample, and a short vocal part which sums up the mood. The 60's and 70's seem to be the surest bet. Whilst finding the record to sample is usually half the fun, this time I am utterly stumped at finding one to sample from. Thanks in advance for the advice. :) Chris Rocen ( talk) 00:42, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
There is a song called "Ghost" by a little known band named House of Heroes. It's an extremely sad (on the verge of depressing) love song about a man who makes mistakes and loses the love of his life. The lyrics are here: Ghost Lyrics Hope that helps.

I thought of Goin' Out of My Head by Little Anthony and the Imperials, and then I also saw their Hurt So Bad. All really sad and unrequited; I'm not so sure of the drums. Catrionak ( talk) 21:30, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
Another depressing 60s song with minimal drums is Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me) by the Temptations. Adam Bishop ( talk) 09:14, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
It occurs at around the 1:45 mark in this video. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xbe69h_manchester-city-v-chelsea_sport

Quick question: was it called "Siskel & Ebert AT the Movies" or "Siskel & Ebert AND the Movies"? The Roger Ebert page calls it "Siskel & Ebert AT the Movies" in the second paragraph, but the link calls it "Siskel and Ebert AND The Movies".
Also, from 1999 to 2000, was the show called "Roger Ebert AT the Movies" or "Roger Ebert AND the Movies"? The two articles also contradict themselves on this point.

Can someone please help me with the name of this song. It features the line 'I lose control' and, I think, it's about a guy who sees a girl he likes with another guy and I think it's a recent (2009-ish) release. Any ideas? Thanks 92.0.129.48 ( talk) 14:50, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
Hm, there's a September '08 song called "Lose Control" by House of Heroes, but it's not about relationships. Is it this song? [2] Maybe? Moptopstyle1 ("I Feel Fine.") ( talk) 21:21, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
Thanks but sadly it's not either of them. The sentence 'I lose control' is only rarely sung, in the chorus I think, and not every couple of lines like in the second of your suggestions. Thanks for trying though. 92.0.129.48 ( talk) 11:44, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
There is a song that played today on 107.1 Hot new Edmonton at around after 8:00 PM. This song was electronic with the chorus repeating "i know what you know" or "i know what I know". It could be possible that "i know what you know" or "i know what I know" may be electronic. There are verses that are rap.
Dragonette's Liar played before this song. A commercial break played after this song. An ad for the radio station played at the end of this commercial break and then an Akon song played.
Who sings this song and who is the artist? 174.3.102.6 ( talk) 17:05, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

What is the significance of the term 'rolling stone'?-- B for Bod ( talk) 20:35, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
Are you asking, "What does the Term 'Rolling Stone' mean?" If that is the question, then here ya go.
roll·ing stone
(plural roll·ing stones) n
somebody with no roots: somebody who is incapable of staying in the same job or place for very long

The Rolling Stones and Rolling Stone magazine both reportedly took their name from the Muddy Waters song, " Rollin' Stone." Other "Rolling Stone" songs: " Papa Was a Rollin' Stone" (The Temptations), "Daddy Rollin' Stone" (The Who), and " The Cover of the Rolling Stone" (Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show). — D.

New question!
In California, what are the best colleges to go to for majoring in Music Production, and do get a Doctoral Degree in it? Moptopstyle1 ("I Feel Fine.") ( talk) 23:11, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
Well, I was actually going for the colleges that are known for their Music Production classes. But, oh well, that's okay. I didn't realize that I wrote my question for an opinionated answer. Sorry. I'll just try to stick to helping answering questions... :-/ Moptopstyle1 ("I Feel Fine.") ( talk) 00:02, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
Wait! Would the question, "What colleges in California have Music Production courses, and where you can receive a Doctoral Degree in Music Production" a correct question?
If it is, then that's my question. Moptopstyle1 ("I Feel Fine.") ( talk) 00:05, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
Thank you! Finally I've learned to ask a question correctly! Thanks. :) Well then. "What colleges in California have Music Production courses, and where you can receive a Doctoral Degree in Music Production?" Moptopstyle1 ("I Feel Fine.") ( talk) 02:20, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
Oh cool. Thanks. Moptopstyle1 ("I Feel Fine.") ( talk) 04:07, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
