I remember seeing the music video for "Karma Chameleon" by Culture Club. In it was a steamboat. Did the vessel have a name?142.255.72.126 (talk) 09:04, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The answer you seek is in the very article about the song that you linked. --Viennese Waltz 09:09, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The boat was the New Southern Belle, she is owned by Turks, and moors at Kingston on Thames. DuncanHill (talk) 14:34, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Roxy Music song Oh Yeah says "There's a band playing on the radio, With a rhythm of rhyming guitars", but do we know who that band was and what the song? Thank you, DuncanHill (talk) 03:22, 21 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It might simply be self-referential; the lyrics say: They're playing / Oh Yeah / On the radio. (Thus the band is Roxy Music) 2606:A000:1126:28D:90F8:18CC:4BE1:53E4 (talk) 07:47, 21 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Check out Guitar George. He knows all the chords. But it's strictly ryhthm he don't wanna make it...cry or sing. I'm talking sultans. They were both "Sultans of Swing"! InedibleHulk (talk) 05:38, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It seems not much is known about Arab Digital Distribution (ADD), a defunct multichannel television provider which operated in the Middle East (apart from the fact that it was operated by the same company as Arab Radio and Television Network [ART]). When did it launch, and when did it go bust? Also, is BeIN Channels Network (launched in 2015) the successor of ADD (physical or spiritual), or is it a completely new business?

According to this, it was established in 2000 (and was presumably extant as of 2010). 107.15.157.44 (talk) 17:11, 21 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That page seems to have forked data from Wikipedia. Does that mean there was an article about Arab Digital Distribution here in English Wikipedia before it was deleted? JSH-alive/^{talk/cont/mail} 15:40, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

...between a single and a promotional single (from an album)?? Georgia guy (talk) 17:17, 21 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A promotional single is a release of a song from an album meant to drive up interest in purchasing said album. How is this different from a single in general? You have to understand that the idea of singles being released from albums is not the only possible model. The original model of release for recorded music was as singles only. Albums originated as collections of previously released material, so that it was more a case of albums being collected from singles. The transition to digital music has, in some ways and to some degree, gone in a direction more like that. The idea of albums as the primary form of music release really only applies to a period from the 1960s to the 1990s. Before that, was the "singles first, album collection later" model and after that is the "release the album, but have all tracks also available for individual purchase, but only really promote a few of the songs" model. --Khajidha (talk) 17:29, 21 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• There were also business models whereby many singles were not, and were never intended to, be released on albums, though some were later released on "compilation" and "greatest hits" collections, or added as "bonus tracks" to already released albums in later pressings. Some bands had several major songs that never made a studio album, The Beatles had many of their biggest hits ("Strawberry Fields Forever", "Hey Jude" as just two of many examples) that never made an official album as intended (though the first was later appended to the Magical Mystery Tour EP when it was expanded to album length, and the second was released as part of a post-break-up unauthorized album in the U.S. only). New Order's two biggest hit songs, being "Blue Monday" and "True Faith", were not album songs (though later pressings of Power, Corruption, and Lies included "Blue Monday" as a bonus track), this mirrored New Order's predecessor Joy Division, whose biggest hit "Love Will Tear Us Apart" was a non-album single. The Lemonheads version of "Mrs. Robinson" was released as a single-only release, but when it became a major hit, later pressings of It's a Shame About Ray had it added; the song was recorded at a different time and a different personnel than the album. This article covers some more. --Jayron32 13:02, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I need help in including my band in the list of synthpop artists. I am a legalyy registered band and am on many social sites but I may need help on editing sources on the list of synthpop artists Wikipedia page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shadows of Music (talk • contribs) 05:00, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

First, there needs to be a Shadows of Music Wikipedia article; before that can happen, notability (in the Wikipedia sense) needs to be established. Good luck! 107.15.157.44 (talk) 05:16, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There's a national registry of official synthpop bands?? —Tamfang (talk) 02:20, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Which nation? --Khajidha (talk) 10:39, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

is that like the sex offender registry, so that everyone knows that they are a synthpop band, and can keep them from 100 yards away from any music performing venue? --Jayron32 15:21, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

On ,,Dc comic,, article you doesn't mention Wonder Woman in golden age. She play a huge role in popularity of Dc comic and was (and is) very important there. Unfortunately I don't have knowledge about it so I can add her myself. I would be grateful for adding her because she is one of my favorit characters in pop culture.

@Onhe123: Welcome to Wikipedia and thanks for wanting to make it better. Wonder Woman is covered in the article Golden_Age_of_Comic_Books. If you think the DC Comics article needs improvement in this area, you can start a discussion on that article's talk page. RudolfRed (talk) 23:07, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Good Day! I am looking for a movie which features a really weird scene: men with leopard heads as breasts who shoot milk out of these heads. It is a really strange scene. I thought that it might have been a movie by Federico Fellini, but I did not find anything. Please help me to find this movie.

Once a serve is negotiated by defending team, everybody can assume their most desired spots on the field? Is that right? Can there be too many men in offensive section, ie 4? Splićanin (talk) 22:49, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Before play, the location must be three-and-three, but after the ball is put into play, they players have complete freedom of movement with the lone exception that back-row players (the three that began in the back before the serve) can ONLY play an attack (send the ball over the net) from the rear zone, that is back row players can play the ball (as in a dig or a set) to their own teammates from anywhere on the court, but those three players can only send it over the net if they do so from behind the attack line. The three front row players have complete freedom of motion and can attack from anywhere. This means teams have to be careful to distribute their "attackers" so that there's always at least one strong attacker in the attack zone at serve at any time. However, there is no penalty for a player merely being in the wrong place, merely for playing the ball over the net if they were not one of the three attackers. There is also an optional player called the "libero" who is like a super-defensive player; teams may substitute the libero in for one of their backrow players at any time, but the libero can never send the ball over the net, and can only perform an overhand "set" if they are positioned in the defending zone. See here for more information. --Jayron32 15:18, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, thank you very much for taking the time to answer in such detail. With that in mind, please forgive this question: Are you absolutely sure libero cannot send the ball over the net? Splićanin (talk) 18:52, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Is the episode title Carpenter Street (Star Trek: Enterprise) explained anywhere in the episode? I haven't seen the episode and the article doesn't say anything about it. I'm wondering if it might be a reference to Rodion Raskolnikov. Carpenter Street ("S. Pereulok") is the street in St. Petersburg that Raskolnikov lived on, iirc. I half remember this bit of trivia from, iirc, Le Ton beau de Marot. 2601:648:8202:96B0:386A:A40C:EBB1:ACC0 (talk) 08:49, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
