[edit] April 25
[edit] Name that tune
I'm wondering if anyone can help identify a song for me. It sounds like house or trance music, with a heavy bass, and the vocals are a repetition of what sounds to me like "Barba Leeeeeee, Baaarba Lee," except I'm sure those aren't at all the lyrics, I just can't make it out. Not even sure if it's in English. But it's a very popular song, I must have heard it a thousand times even though this type of music isn't as popular in the US. If I played it, I'm sure plenty of people would recognize it, I just don't know what it's called. Any ideas? zafiroblue05 | Talk 00:11, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
- Can't help you with a name, but if it's a very popular song it's likely by Enigma, Deep Forest or Chemical Brothers. I know that's probably not much help. Anchoress 00:16, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
- I'm basically positive it's not the Chemical Brothers, and I doubt it's either of the other two. The song I'm thinking of sounds more trance-y than the first couple videos of those two that I saw on YouTube. Don't know if this will help, but the lyric, as sung, has three notes in ascending order. It could be "I belieeeeeve [last syllable drawn out a lot], I [drawn out a bit] believe," but again, I don't know the words. zafiroblue05 | Talk 01:03, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
- Right. What about Delerium? Anchoress 01:42, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
- Long shot here, but Pulp Victim's "The World '99"? --Wirbelwindヴィルヴェルヴィント (talk) 04:11, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
- That's closer, but the song I'm thinking of has a heavier bass, more distorted vocals (which I think are female but are distorted enough it's almost hard to tell). I don't think it's Delerium, either, but again I'm only going on a couple of samples when they have obviously made many, many songs. To be honest, the song I'm thinking of is perhaps not from a particularly prominent group/DJ: instead, I think it'd be more a big one-hit-wonder - not one of many singles by someone but instead someone's one and only huge hit. zafiroblue05 | Talk 04:31, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
- Did you hear the whole song or just a clip? Because in the song I mentioned, there's a kid or a female voice saying something similar to Barba..something three times. I keep hearing it as Bulbasaur though. The clip I heard on amazon didn't play the better known parts. --Wirbelwindヴィルヴェルヴィント (talk) 04:54, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
- Assuming this is a (poor version) of the song, I heard the whole thing. That song is relatively similar to it, but the song I'm thinking of is more minimalistic, perhaps - almost solely the pounding bass, while The World has many other tracks in it, it seems - and more party-ish, if that makes sense. zafiroblue05 | Talk 06:57, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
- Yea, that's it, but it's a version I've never heard before, as far as I can tell. I'll try to think of more songs when I get home later though. --Wirbelwindヴィルヴェルヴィント (talk) 14:41, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

- Dario G Sunchyme? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BY2OFztWiuY) (once it gets going)? I'm sorta thinking probably not but just in case. ny156uk 16:48, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
- total long shot but i'm trying to think of songs with african-style vibes (like Pulp Victim's). Future Sound of London - Papua New Guinea? ny156uk 17:18, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
In the odd case that anyone comes across here, I just now found the song I was thinking of: Call on Me (Eric Prydz song). zafiroblue05 | Talk 05:55, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Oils ain't oils, Sol.
Anyone know where I can find a recording of the "Oils Ain't Oils, Sol" ad online? It was an Australian TV commercial from the 80s. Pesapluvo 04:27, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dance Dance Revolution
Are there any DDR console games available in Australia? --Candy-Panda 11:11, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
- DDR seems to be released under the Dancing_stage name in Europe and Australia/Oceania. Konami has an Australian website, http://www.konami.com.au/, that should have more information. gorffy 23:24, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
- To concur: All official releases of DDR in Australia (and, in fact, in regions where PAL is the standard rather than NTSC, I believe) are named "Dancing Stage", including "Dancing Stage Fever", "Dancing Stage Max" (quite hard to get one's hands on, according to a friend of mine) and "Dancing Stage Party". The last time I went to Konami's Australian site it was dedicated to poker machines, but it appears they've changed their tune recently (apparently by moving the pokies to konamiaustralia.com.au) so maybe it is the place to look, otherwise try the list under "Songlists and Codes" on DDRFreak or maybe look on Konami's UK or Europe sites, if you can find them since most of the Dancing Stage PlayStation games are held in common (sorry but my net access is a little hobbled at the moment or I'd provide more direct links). If you're looking for games on a console other than PS/PS2, then there were a couple released for the DreamCast but I suspect they were Japanese only and will require heavy tracking down, there is Dancing Stage: Mario Mix for the GameCube (not particularly challenging though, apparently), and I'm not 100% sure but I think there was something released on XBox although probably not locally.

Thank you very much! --Candy-Panda 07:02, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
- No problems. Always happy to help a fellow DDRer, especially an Australian one. Confusing Manifestation 07:11, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Pokémon Pearl
Anyone know how to make the third Gym Leader, Maylene, go to her gym so I can fight her? --66.203.32.62 13:24, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
