A few nights ago I saw a performance of The Yeomen of the Guard by Gilbert and Sullivan. In the second act, there is a duet in which the two characters agree to collaborate on telling a false but plausible tale. The chorus:
The odd thing is that every time I hear that song, I have some dim memory of it being used as a intro or opening theme to some Saturday morning kids' cartoon. I would have been watching those in most likely the early to mid 1970s, though of course they could have dated from earlier. But I have not been able to locate any reference to these lyrics being used on such a show. Can anyone either confirm my memory, or else confirm that I am completely losing it? Thanks, Newyorkbrad ( talk) 03:22, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
I'm not sure where to ask this, but I figured it might be more useful to check here before attempting to discuss this with someone in French...I brought my Wii with me to France, and the TV where I'm staying at the moment has the same red-yellow-white connectors that my North American Wii has, so I assumed I could just plug it in and play it (it's also plugged into a voltage adaptor, of course). The problem is, the TV/video button on the TV doesn't seem to do anything. The TV doesn't seem to have a brand name, but it gets regular French digital channels, as well as satellite channels through a satellite box, if that is relevant. So I'm wondering if the TV/video button is just broken, or if there is something else I have to do to hook up a foreign Wii to it? Maybe something obvious I'm just not seeing?

I need the game records for the Phish vs audience chess matches. TFA says there were two games, one win and one loss. I check the cite, which confirms this, but gives no further details. Anyone know where to find the full move list? 69.221.173.198 ( talk) 15:27, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

(
talk) 08:23, 7 March 2011 (UTC)I have only recently gotten into the habit of listening to music, and so my choice is limited to those few things that people have reccomended for me and that I have then actually liked. I am wondering, being reluctant to go around spending a lot of money on CDs I might well not want to listen to afterwards, is there any way I can listen to a selection of different music, most likely online, and by rating it find out what styles I am more likely to want? 148.197.121.205 ( talk) 18:24, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
Or Spotify or even just the iTunes Music Store (though the latter only gives you 30 seconds previews of songs). ny156uk ( talk) 21:00, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

Can anyone help me identify the narrator of this commercial? [3] ? I am positive he has done voice work for United States crime documentary shows as well as political ads. I think he has been doing voice work for many years. My Google skills have failed me in providing any success. Thanks fellow ref deskers! 10draftsdeep ( talk) 22:38, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
Good call, but not him. This guy is older and has a creepy voice compared to Mark. 10draftsdeep ( talk) 23:41, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
I finally found him.... Peter Thomas (announcer). 10draftsdeep ( talk) 23:47, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
