"'''Song 2'''" is a song by [[Blur (band)|Blur]], and the second single released from their fifth album ''[[Blur (album)|Blur]]'' in April 1997. The track, known for its overdriven chorus, is among the most well-known songs the band has recorded, particularly in the United States, where it remains their biggest hit to date. It is also known as the "'''woohoo song'''".<br />
<br />
==Information==<br />
[[Damon Albarn]] stated at the song's debut live performance at the [[Royal Dublin Society|RDS]] in [[Dublin]] in [[June 1996]] that "This one's called 'Song 2', 'cos we haven't got a name for it yet". The working title ended up sticking. Coincidences surrounding the number two eventually became associated with the song: it was the second track on the album, was the second single from the album to be released, and reached #2 in the [[UK singles chart]], is exactly two minutes and two seconds long, and is also the second track on their compilation ''[[Blur: The Best of]]''. It also placed #2 on [[Triple J]]'s [[Hottest 100]] for 1997 in Australia.<br />
<br />
==Reception==<br />
In the UK, "Song 2" built upon the success of Blur's prior #1 single "[[Beetlebum]]", reaching, fittingly enough, #2 in the charts. It was also the band's biggest hit in the USA, reaching #6 on [[Billboard]]'s [[Modern Rock Tracks]]. Though it is decidedly atypical of Blur's trademark style, in [[United States|America]] it is the song most closely associated with the band.<br />
<br />
The song became quite popular upon its release in 1997 on college and [[modern rock]] radio stations in the USA. Due to its catchy chorus, mainly the word "Woohoo", it has been licensed worldwide on numerous occasions. Its first and most notable appearance came as the title music for the hit video game [[FIFA '98: Road To World Cup|FIFA '98]]. It has been used in numerous advertisements, including commercials for the [[Pentium II]], the Nissan Sentra, television spots for the film ''[[Starship Troopers (film)|Starship Troopers]]'', and is often heard in [[football (soccer)]], [[ice hockey]], and [[baseball]] stadiums when goals or runs are scored. For one season, the [[Philadelphia Flyers]] of the [[National Hockey League]] played this song every time they scored a goal in a home game. The [[Carolina League]]'s [[Wilmington Blue Rocks]] play the song each time a run is scored while one of their mascots, Mr. Celery, dances on the field.<ref>[http://www.bluerocks.com/mascots.php]Wilmington Blue Rocks</ref> It is also played by the [[National Football League|National Football League's]] [[New England Patriots]] whenever a field goal is scored during home games at [[Gillette Stadium]]. The song also gained recognition in Canada, as the theme for the [[Labatt Brewing Company]]. Famously, the American military requested to use the track at the launch of a new stealth bomber <ref>[http://www.nettime.org/Lists-Archives/nettime-l-9905/msg00287.html] - Strange News From Another Star </ref>, but the band refused to allow this, as Albarn is an anti-war campaigner. <ref>[http://www.guardian.co.uk/antiwar/story/0,,1188725,00.html Britpop rebel with a cause says no new nukes] - The Guardian</ref> <ref>[http://www.nme.com/news/103389.htm Massive Effort!] - nme.com</ref><br />
The song also features in the Episode "Stanley's Cup" (Season 10, Episode 14) of the sitcom South Park.The song is also played right outside [[Ripley's Moving Theater]] in [[Gatlinburg]],[[Tenessee]].the video is featured in the [[2007]] [[karaoke]] game,''[[Singstar Rocks]]''.<br />
<br />
==Video==<br />
The video for this song was directed by [[Sophie Muller]], and it features the band playing in a small, secluded room with loud speakers behind them. During the choruses a strong wind seems to blow in the room.<br />
<br />
This video bears striking resemblances to Blur's video for [[Popscene]].<br />
<br />
==Cover versions==<br />

*During live performances by American bands [[Weezer]], [[Wallflowers]] and [[Plain White T's]].<br />
*[[Plain White T's]] recorded a version which is on the [[Fearless Records]] compilation [[Punk Goes 90s]].<br />

'''Ivor Cutler''' ([[15 January]] [[1923]] &ndash; [[3 March]] [[2006]]) was a [[Scotland|Scottish]] [[poet]], [[songwriter]] and [[humorist]]. He became known for his regular performances on BBC radio, and in particular his numerous sessions recorded for [[John Peel]]'s influential radio programme, and later for [[Andy Kershaw]]'s programme. He appeared in [[the Beatles]]' ''[[Magical Mystery Tour (film)|Magical Mystery Tour]]'' film in 1967 and on [[Neil Innes]]' television programmes. Cutler also wrote books for children and adults and was a teacher at [[A. S. Neill]]'s [[Summerhill School]] and for 30 years in inner-city schools in London.<br />
<br />
In live performances Cutler would often accompany himself on a [[harmonium]]. [[Phyllis King]] appears on several of his records, and for a number of years was a part of his concerts. She usually read small phrases but also read a few short stories. The two starred in a BBC radio series, ''King Cutler'', in which they performed their material jointly and singly. Cutler is known to have had a long term relationship with King, but they never married. Cutler also collaborated with pianist [[Neil Ardley]] and singer [[Robert Wyatt]].<br />
<br />
Many of Cutler's poems and songs involve conversations delivered as a monologue and, in these, one party is often Cutler as a child. Cutler describes poverty and neglect from his parents with great stoicism. He focuses on acceptance and gratitude for the basic elements of life, nature and love, which allows him to make points about mother-love in particular. The humour develops from the child's curiosity and the playful or self-serving lies the parent tells him to get, for example, a chore done or simply to stop the incessant questions. Cutler recited his poems in a gentle Scottish burr, and this, combined with the absurdity of the subject matter, is a mix that earned him a faithful cult following.<ref name="telegraph">[http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2006/03/07/db0701.xml Obituary] (7 Mar. 2006). ''The Daily Telegraph''.</ref> Cutler was a member of the [[Noise Abatement Society]] and the [[Voluntary Euthanasia Society]]. He retired from performing in 2004, and died on [[3 March]] [[2006]].<ref name="espiner">Espiner, Mark (7 Mar. 2006). [http://www.guardian.co.uk/obituaries/story/0,,1725211,00.html Obituary]. ''The Guardian''.</ref><br />
<br />
==Early life==<br />
Cutler was born in [[Glasgow]] into a middle-class [[Jew]]ish family of eastern European descent. He cited his childhood as the source of his artistic temperament, recalling a sense of displacement when his younger brother was born: "Without that I would not have been so screwed up as I am, and therefore not as creative."<ref name="bbcnews">BBC News (7 Mar. 2006). "[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/4781980.stm Cult poet Ivor Cutler dies at 83]". Retrieved 10 Mar. 2006.</ref> In 1939 Cutler was evacuated to [[Annan, Dumfries and Galloway|Annan]]{{fact}}. He joined the [[Royal Air Force]] as a navigator in 1942 but was soon dismissed for "dreaminess".<ref name="telegraph" /> He moved to London where he was employed by the [[Inner London Education Authority]] to teach music, dance, drama and poetry to 7- to 11-year-olds.<ref name="mason">Mason, Stewart.

Retrieved 10 Mar. 2006.</ref> Cutler's deeply-held views on humanity meant he disliked [[corporal punishment]], and on leaving a teaching job he held in the 1950s, he cut up his [[tawse]] and handed the pieces to the class.<ref name="smith">Smith, Claire (13 Mar. 2004). "[http://news.scotsman.com/features.cfm?id=288522004 Survival of the wittiest]". ''The Scotsman''.</ref> He was married briefly and had two children.<br />
<br />
==Musical career==<br />
Cutler began writing songs and poetry in the late 1950s, making the first of many appearances on BBC radio on the [[BBC Home Service|Home Service]], where he featured on the ''Monday Night at Home'' programme on 38 occasions between 1959 and 1963.<ref name="mason"/> He gained popularity playing songs where he would often accompany himself on the [[harmonium]],<ref name="mason" /> and this success led to the release of a series a records starting with 1959's ''Ivor Cutler of Y'Hup'' EP. Cutler continued to make appearances on the BBC's programmes during the 1960s, and as a result of an appearance on the television show ''Late Night Line-Up'', he was noticed by [[Paul McCartney]], who invited Cutler to appear in [[the Beatles]]' ''[[Magical Mystery Tour (film)|Magical Mystery Tour]]'' film.<ref name="espiner"/> In the film, Cutler plays bus conductor Buster Bloodvessel, who becomes passionately attracted to [[Ringo Starr]]'s aunt Jessie. Following this film role, Cutler recorded a second LP. ''[[Ludo (album)|Ludo]]'' (1967), produced by the Beatles' [[George Martin]], and credited to the Ivor Cutler Trio, made up of Cutler with bassist Gill Lyons and percussionist Trevor Tomkins. The LP, taking inspiration from [[trad jazz]] and [[boogie-woogie (music)|boogie-woogie]], sees Cutler playing the piano as well as his usual harmonium, and is considered the most traditionally musical of all his records.<ref name="mason"/><br />
<br />
''Ludo'' was not particularly successful commercially, and after its release Cutler continued to perform for BBC radio, recording the first of his sessions for [[John Peel]] in 1969. Cutler's work on Peel's shows would introduce him to successive generations of fans, and in the early 1990s, Cutler said, "Thanks to Peel, I gained a whole new audience, to the amazement of my older fans, who find themselves among 16-to-35s in theatres, and wonder where they came from."<ref name="garner">Garner, Ken (1993). ''In Session Tonight''. London: BBC Books. ISBN 0-563-36452-1</ref> <br />
<br />
In the 1970s, [[Neil Ardley]] had Cutler sing on his ''A Symphony of Amaranths'' LP (1971),<ref name="gibson">Gibson, David (3 Apr. 1995). "[http://www.ivorcutler.org/collection.html Cutler Collection]". Retrieved 10 Mar. 2006.</ref> and former-[[Soft Machine]] singer [[Robert Wyatt]] asked Cutler to play harmonium and sing on two of the tracks on his ''[[Rock Bottom (album)|Rock Bottom]]'' LP (1974). The collaboration with Wyatt led to Cutler being signed to Wyatt's record label [[Virgin Records]], for whom Cutler recorded three LPs in the mid-1970s: ''[[Dandruff (album)|Dandruff]]'' (1974), ''[[Velvet Donkey]]'' (1975) and ''[[Jammy Smears]]'' (1976). (It also led to Wyatt covering Cutler's "Go and sit upon the grass", from ''Velvet Donkey'', as "Grass" on his 1981 ''Nothing Can Stop Us'' album.) Each of these discs intersperses Cutler's poems and songs with readings by his performing companion [[Phyllis King]]. During the decade, Cutler used his sessions for John Peel to introduce numerous episodes of his ''Life in a Scotch Sitting Room'' series, culminating in the 1978 LP ''[[Life in a Scotch Sitting Room, Vol. 2]]'' (Volume 1 was a track on the 1974 album ''[[Dandruff|Dandruff]]'' ), regarded as a particularly autobiographical work,<ref name="mason"/> on which Cutler recounts tales from his childhood amid an environment of exaggerated Scottishness. Cutler also produced the work as a book, published in 1984, with illustrations by [[Martin Honeysett]].<ref name="gibson"/><br />
<br />
In the 1980s, [[Rough Trade Records]] released three LPs&mdash;''[[Privilege (album)|Privilege]]'' (1983), ''[[Prince Ivor]]'' (1986) and ''[[Gruts]]'' (1986). He also released the single "Women of the World", recorded with Linda Hirst, through the label in 1983. Cutler enjoyed further interest from the [[Creation Records|Creation]] record company in the 1990s, best known at the time as [[Oasis (band)|Oasis]]' record label. The label released two new volumes of poems and spoken word work: ''A Wet Handle'' (1997) and ''A Flat Man'' (1998).<br />
<br />
He is alluded to in the song "Jacqueline" by [[Franz Ferdinand (band)|Franz Ferdinand]].<br />

"'''Song 2'''" is a song by [[Blur (band)|Blur]], and the second single released from their eponymous fifth album, ''[[Blur (album)|Blur]]'' in [[April 1997]]. It features a catchy, bouncy beat combined with a calmly sung verse and a raucous, guitar-driven chorus. The distinctive drum sound was achieved by guitarist [[Graham Coxon]] playing a second set of drums face to face with regular drummer [[Dave Rowntree]] in the studio. The famous "Woo Hoo" of the chorus is borrowed from [[Iceland]]'s [[Botnleðja]]'s 'Þið eruð Frábær', with whom Blur has toured.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Name==<br />
"Song 2" was originally the track's working title ([[Damon Albarn]] stated in an early live performance of the song at the RDS in [[Dublin]] in [[June 1996]] that "This one's called 'Song 2', 'cos we haven't got a name for it yet"), but it ended up sticking. Coincidences surrounding the number two eventually became associated with the song: it was the second track on the album, was the second single from the album to be released, and reached #2 in the [[UK singles chart]] and is 2 minutes long. Because of the obscure title, which is not featured in the lyrics, the song is sometimes mistakenly referred to as "Woo Hoo", its chorus.<br />

Released on purple 7" vinyl record and two CDs, in the UK "Song 2" built upon the success of prior #1 single "[[Beetlebum]]" and the #1 chart placing of the album by reaching #2 in the charts. It was also the band's biggest hit in the USA, reaching #6 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks. Though it is decidedly atypical of Blur's trademark style, in [[United States|America]] it is the song most closely associated with the band.<br />
<br />
The song became quite popular upon its release in 1997 on college and [[modern rock]] radio stations in the USA. Due to its memorable and catchy chorus, it has been licensed worldwide on numerous occasions. Its first and most notable appearance came as the title music for the hit video game [[FIFA '98: Road To World Cup|FIFA '98]], a use that contributed to its success, particularly in the USA. It has been used in numerous adverts, including television spots for the film ''[[Starship Troopers (film)|Starship Troopers]]'', and is often heard in [[Football (soccer)|soccer]] and [[Ice hockey|ice hockey]] stadia when goals are scored. The song also gained recognition in Canada, as the theme for the John Labatt Brewing Corporation in the late 90's.

American bands [[Weezer]] and [[My Chemical Romance]] have covered the song in live perfomances.<br />
<br />
In the [[South Park]] episode "[[Stanley's Cup]]", the song was played during a pee-wee hockey match to add a competitive mood to the game, although the players were too young to play very well and mostly tripped over themselves the whole time. The score was tied 0 to 0.<br />

"'''Song 2'''" is a song by [[Blur (band)|Blur]], and the second single released from their eponymous fifth album, ''[[Blur (album)|Blur]]'' in [[April 1997]]. It features a catchy, bouncy beat combined with a calmly sung verse and a raucous, guitar-driven chorus. The distinctive drum sound was achieved by guitarist [[Graham Coxon]] playing a second set of drums face to face with regular drummer [[Dave Rowntree]] in the studio. The famous "Woo Hoo" of the chorus is borrowed from [[Iceland]]'s [[Botnleðja]]'s 'Þið eruð Frábær', with whom Blur has toured.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Name==<br />
"Song 2" was originally the track's working title ([[Damon Albarn]] stated in an early live performance of the song at the RDS in [[Dublin]] in [[June 1996]] that "This one's called 'Song 2', 'cos we haven't got a name for it yet"), but it ended up sticking. Coincidences surrounding the number two eventually became associated with the song: it was the second track on the album, was the second single from the album to be released, and reached #2 in the [[UK singles chart]] and is 2 minutes long. Because of the obscure title, which is not featured in the lyrics, the song is sometimes mistakenly referred to as "Woo Hoo", its chorus.<br />

Also in April 2006, they were interviewed by [[Simon Amstell]] from [[T4]]'s [[Popworld]] and revealed that the origin of their name was a bet with a friend whose surname was Milburn.<br />

"'''Song 2'''" is a song by [[Blur]], and the second single to be released from their eponymous fifth album, ''[[Blur (album)|Blur]]'' in April 1997. "Song 2" was originally the track's working title ([[Damon Albarn]] stated in an early live performance of the song at the RDS in [[Dublin]] in June 1996 that "This one's called 'Song 2', 'cos we haven't got a name for it yet"), but ended up sticking, and an eerie succession of coincidences surrounding the number two eventually became associated with the song. It was the second track on the album, clocks in at precisely two minutes long, was the second single to be released, and reached #2 in the [[UK singles chart]]. <br />
<br />
Because of the obscure title, which is not featured in the lyrics, the song is sometimes mistakenly referred to as "Woo Hoo" (or "Way Hoo" in some parts of the USA), because of its chorus.<br />
<br />
The song became quite popular upon its release in 1997 on college and [[modern rock]] radio stations in the USA. A catchy, bouncy beat was combined with a calmly sung verse and a raucous, guitar-driven chorus, which made it perfect for in-concert [[mosh|mosh pits]]. The distinctive drum sound was achieved by guitarist [[Graham Coxon]] playing a second set of drums face to face with regular drummer [[Dave Rowntree]] in the studio.<br />
<br />
Due to its memorable and catchy chorus, the song has been licensed worldwide on numerous occasions. Its first and most notable appearance came as the title music for the hit video game [[FIFA '98]], a use that contributed to its success, particularly in the USA. It has been used in numerous adverts, including television spots for the movie ''[[Starship Troopers (film)|Starship Troopers]]'', and is often heard in [[Football (soccer)|football]] and [[Ice hockey|hockey]] stadia when goals are scored. Famously, the American Military requested to use the track at the launch of the then-new Stealth Bomber, but the band refused to allow this as Albarn is a stern anti-war campaigner. <br />
<br />
The famous "Woo Hoo"s of the chorus were thought to be inspired by Pavement's eccentric and lively sideman, [[Bob Nastanovich]].<br />
<br />
Released on purple 7" vinyl record and 2 CDs, in the UK "Song 2" built upon the success of prior #1 single "[[Beetlebum]]" and the #1 chart placing of the album by reaching #2 in the charts, but was by far the band's biggest hit in the USA, reaching #6 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks. Though it is decidedly atypical of Blur's trademark style, in America it is the song most closely associated with the band in the public consciousness.<br />
<br />
In March 2005, [[Q magazine|''Q'' magazine]] placed "Song 2" at number 14 in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks.<br />

'''"The Tide Is High"''' is a [[1967]] song written by John Holt and performed by [[The Paragons]] with [[John Holt (singer)|John Holt]] as lead singer. Although originally released as an [[A side]] in Jamaica on the Treasure Isle label it was relegated to the [[B-side]] of the "Only a Smile" single for UK release a few months later. The song was popular in [[Jamaica]] and amongst West Indians and skinheads in the UK together with a DJ version by U Roy put out in 1971. This song went all but unnoticed in the rest of the world until it was rediscovered in 1980 and 2002.<br />
<br />
==Blondie==<br />
"The Tide Is High" became a popular song after being covered by [[Blondie (band)|Blondie]] as the fourth track from the [[1980]] album ''[[Autoamerican]]''. A horn section and strings were added to the song to make more in line with the Blondie album.<br />
<br />
It is the most popular [[reggae]] song made by Blondie. It reached number one in the [[UK singles chart]] in November [[1980]], and was the last U.K. number-one single for the band until "[[Maria (Blondie song)|Maria]]" in [[1999]]. However, the band tried to recreate the success of this song with the single "[[Island Of Lost Souls]]" in [[1982]], but was slightly less successful as it only reached number eleven. The B-side to this single was "Suzie and Jeffrey", which did not appear on any Blondie studio album until the remaster of ''Autoamerican'' in [[2001]]. The song had similar success in the United States becoming Blondie's third single to top the [[Billboard Hot 100]].<br />
<br />
==Atomic Kitten==<br />
"The Tide Is High" was covered again by [[Atomic Kitten]] and once again reached number one in the U.K. in September [[2002]]. This time the song was remade with keyboards and make it more pop oriented. The cover was inspired by the Blondie single, however it was remade from the original track.<br />

"'''Song 2'''" is a song and single by [[Blur]]. It originally appeared on their eponymous fifth album, ''[[Blur (album)|Blur]]''. The song, two minutes long, is named purely for the fact that it is the second song on the album. Because of the obscure title, which is not featured in the lyrics, the song was mistakenly believed to be called "Woo Hoo" or "Way Hoo" (in some parts of the USA) because of its chorus.<br />
<br />
The song became quite popular upon its release in 1997 on college and [[modern rock]] radio stations. A catchy, bouncy beat was combined with a calmly sung verse and a raucous, guitar-driven chorus, which made it perfect for in-concert [[mosh|mosh pits]]. ''Song 2'' was also heard in television spots for the film ''[[Starship Troopers (film)|Starship Troopers]]''.<br />
<br />
The song was requested to be used at the launch of the then new Stealth Bomber by the American Military, though the band refused to allow this as [[Damon Albarn]] (the lead singer) is a stern anti-war campaigner.<br />
<br />
The song makes an appearance in the famous soccer game [[FIFA '98]]. This led to international acclaim for the song and the band.<br />
<br />
Released on purple 7" vinyl record and 2 CDs; "Song 2" reached #2 (fittingly) in the [[UK singles chart]] and was by far the band's biggest hit in the USA, reaching #6 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks. Though it is decidedy atypical of Blur's trademark style, in America it is the song most closely associated with the band in the public consciousness. It is often played at sporting events, and has been covered in concert by [[Avril Lavigne]] and [[Robbie Williams]]. Rock band [[Weezer]] also covered the song many times during the [[Foozer]] tour of 2005.<br />
<br />
[[My Chemical Romance]] covered this song live on [[Jo Whiley]]'s [[BBC Radio 1]] show in November 2005.<br />

'''"Keep Yourself Alive"''' was the first track on the British rock group [[Queen (band)|Queen]]'s [[Queen (album)|debut album]], written by [[Brian May]]. It was released as Queen's first single along with another song from the album, "Son And Daughter". The album reached #24 on the UK charts, where it remained for 18 weeks. While the single failed to chart anywhere, it helped establish Queen's large fan base in Japan.<br />
<br />
==Songwriting==<br />
<br />
Brian May wrote it when the band had already been formed, but before [[John Deacon]] joined (that's known thanks to [[Barry Mitchell (musician)|Barry Mitchell]], a former bassist of the band). According to what May said in a radio special about their 1977 album ''[[News of the World (album)|News of the World]]'', he had penned the lyrics thinking of them as ironic and tongue-in-cheek, but their sense was completely changed when [[Freddie Mercury]] sang them.<br />
<br />
It's been suggested by some fans and Queen scholars that Mercury could have helped on the musical songwriting, based on the fact that (as it's been recalled by former bassists and the band themselves) they were in a more collaborative period in the pre-studio days and Freddie was usually the one getting his way with structural ideas. While it's highly possible that he contributed ideas to the song (the modulation types and the expanded form are closer to his style than May's), the bottom line is that even in that case Mercury would be more a co-arranger than a co-writer per se (like [[George Martin]] on [[The Beatles]]' songs).<br />
<br />
==Live Performances==<br />
<br />
The newly-formed Queen group quickly added "Keep Yourself Alive" to the live set. Mercury commented that the song "was a very good way of telling people what Queen was about in those days" (RAM, 21 May 1976, p 17). Indeed, the number included a drum solo by [[Roger Taylor]] and one line sung/spoken by him.<br />
<br />
"Keep Yourself Alive" was part of the band's live set until the early 80s, and then added again in ''[[The Works (album)|The Works]]'' tour as part of a medley of old songs (with "[[Somebody to Love]]", "[[Killer Queen (song)|Killer Queen]]", "[[Seven Seas of Rhye]]", and "[[Liar (song)|Liar]]".<br />
<br />
==Recordings==<br />
<br />
The first version of "Keep Yourself Alive" is from summer 1971 at De Lane Lea Studios. It was produced by Louie Austin and includes the intro played on Brian May's Hairfred acoustic guitar. All of the song elements were already present, including [[call and response (music)|call-and-response]] vocals by Freddie (verses) and during the break, where Roger Taylor sang a line and Mercury answered it. This demo version remains Brian May's favourite take of the song.<br />
<br />
Subsequently they did several attempt to "recapture the magic" when they went on to do the "real" version at Trident Studios. The one mixed by Mike Stone was the only one moderately accepted, and it's the one released as single. It includes Freddie Mercury doing all of the harmony vocals in the chorus (multi-tracking himself) and Brian May singing the "two steps nearer to my grave" line instead of Mercury (who did it live and in earlier versions). No acoustic guitar this time.<br />
<br />
==Video game reference==<br />
The song's title is shared with two songs called "Keep Yourself Alive I" and "Keep Yourself Alive II" which are the theme songs of [[Sol Badguy]] in the popular fighting game series, ''[[Guilty Gear]]''. [[Sol Badguy]]'s favorite band is also officially stated to be [[Queen (band)|Queen]].<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Wyborowa''' is a popular brand of [[vodka]] originating in [[Poland]]. Its production started in the [[1920s]] in the [[Poznan]] distillery. However, it took over 40 years until Wyborowa was exported. In the [[1950s]] and [[1960s|60s]], Wyborowa became known in all major European countries - it constituted over 60% of the total volume of vodka imported to the [[United Kingdom]].<br />
<br />
After the period of economic transition in the late [[1980s]] and early [[1990s|90s]], the Poznan distillery, like many others in the country, got itself into serious trouble and was close to filing for [[bankruptcy]] protection. However, due to the large international popularity of its major product, the plant was bought by the French alcohol producer [[Pernod Ricard]]. The new owners have shown great respect towards the long traditions of Wyborowa and have kept the product unchanged. <br />

<br />
'''"Beautiful"''' is the second [[single (music)|single]] from [[Christina Aguilera]]'s sophomore album, ''[[Stripped (2002 album)|Stripped]]''. Released in [[2002]], the single peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Aguilera's 6th Top 10 hit. Due to the song's high peak after the previous flop single,"Dirrty", it is generally believed to be her first [[comeback|comeback single]]. The single also peaked at #1 in the UK, becoming her 3rd #1 single there. The single is generally considered to be one of her [[signature song]]s due to its inspirational message and powerful vocal performance, and is even considered by many critics to be one of the best songs of the [[2000s]]; some critics even go so far as to call it one of the best pop songs of all time. <br />
<br />
==The song==<br />
<br />
"Beautiful" (written and produced soley by [[Linda Perry]]) is often thought to be one of Aguilera's most well-known singles to date, and as mentioned above, is definitely considered one of her [[signature song]]s. In this simplistic, but [[cello|cello-driven]], [[classical music|classically]] flavored ballad, Miss Aguilera deals with hurtful statements made against her which cause her to feel [[insecure]] and have low [[self-esteem]]; however, she does not let others' negativity get the best of her, causing her to proclaim proudly, "I am beautiful no matter what they say, words can't bring me down". <br />
<br />
As mentioned briefly above, the song has often been called by critics as one of the best songs this decade ([[2000s]]), with even harsh [[American Idol]] judge, [[Simon Cowell]] being impressed so much, that he even went so far as to proclaim it one of the best pop recordings ''ever''. [http://www.usaweekend.com/05_issues/050206/050206simon_cowell.html]. Ironically, the song almost did not reach its prominence, as Linda Perry had originally wanted to save the song for herself. <br />
<br />
However, with Linda's career as an artist floundering, but her career as a producer a success, she decided to switch gears permanently, and gave the song to Miss Aguilera. (This song along with [[P!nk]]'s "Get The Party Started" are most known for helping to launch Linda Perry from a has-been artist to a superstar producer.)<br />
<br />
As the song is most known for its powerful, yet emotional vocal performance from Ms. Aguilera, many are often shocked to find out that the recording of the song was only based on one take, the original [[demo]] of the song. Aguilera expressed concerns as she had hit some notes a bit too flat and some a bit too sharp, but Linda insisted that she leave them in. To her it represented the theme of "Beautiful", about how we are not perfect, but each day we face life one step at message and time, and that Aguilera's imperfect vocal performance resonanced the theme of the song's vulnerabiltiy. The video garnered great attention, as it touched on the subjects of [[anorexia nervosa]], [[homosexuality]] and [[cross-dressing]].<br />
<br />
==Chart success==<br />
<br />
After the failure of "[[Dirrty]]", Aguilera's management quickly released the follow-up single "Beautiful" to prevent the descent of ''[[Stripped]]'' on the charts. The song succeeded in its task, peaking at #2 on both the [[Billboard Hot 100]] and [[Hot 100 Airplay]]. However, the track failed to chart on the [[Hot 100 Singles Sales]] (largely due to the fact that single was released as a 12" Maxi Single, and at the time, the sales of this format could not compete with those of the regular CD/CD Maxi Singles). The single was also an across-the-broad #1 hit, topping many Billboard charts.<br />
<br />
Internationally, the single received just as much success as in the US, topping the charts in both the UK and Canada.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''A Fairytale of New York''' is a novel by [[J. P. Donleavy]], published in 1973, originally a short story based on Donleavy's successful stage play, ''Fairy Tales of New York.'' It concerns Irish-American Cornelius Christian's return to New York after studying in Ireland.<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
'''Fairytale of New York''' is an [[Ireland|Irish]] [[folk music|folk]] style ballad by UK-based [[punk music|punk]]/folk group [[The Pogues]], also featuring [[Kirsty MacColl]]. <br />
<br />
It features two Irish [[immigration|immigrants]], lovers or ex-lovers, reminiscing and bickering in the drunk tank over [[Christmas]] in [[New York]]. MacColl's melodious singing contrasts with the harsh sound of [[Shane MacGowan]]'s voice and the lyrics which are sometimes bittersweet, sometimes plain bitter.<br />
<br />
<!-- please don't add the full lyrics as they are copyrighted --><br />
Sample from lyrics:<br><br />
<i>"You scumbag, you maggot, you cheap lousy faggot! <br><br />
Happy Christmas your arse, I pray God it's our last".</i><br />
<br />
The track was released as a single in [[1987]] and reached #1 in the Irish charts and #2 in the [[United Kingdom|British]] charts over Christmas (the time of peak sales). <br />
<br />
The song has become a festive classic in Britain over the years, perhaps fuelled by the untimely death of Kirsty MacColl in December 2000. It was voted the best Christmas song of all time in 2004 in a poll by the [[VH1]] UK TV music channel [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/4101207.stm].<br />
<br />
It has since been covered by [[Ronan Keating]] and [[Moya Brennan|Maire Brennan]], who changed the above lyric to "You scumbag, you maggot, you're cheap and you're haggard". In addition, it has been covered by [[Dustin the Turkey]] and [[Dervla Kirwan]], as well as the bands City on Film, Pilate, [[No Use for a Name]], and the [[Irish Tenors]] (who leave out some of the racier verses).<br />

"'''Song 2'''" is a song and single by [[Blur]]. It was released from their eponymous fifth album, ''[[Blur (album)|Blur]]'' on [[April 7]], [[1997]]. The song is named purely for the fact that it is the second song on the album, although it also happens to be two minutes and two seconds long. Because of the obscure title, which is not featured in the lyrics, it is widely believed to be called "Woohoo" or "Wayhoo" because of its chorus.<br />
<br />
Released on purple 7" [[vinyl record]] and 2 [[CD]]s; "Song 2" reached #2 (fittingly) in the [[UK singles chart]] and was the band's biggest hit in the USA, reaching #6 on Billboard's [[Modern Rock Tracks chart]] and #25 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.<br />
<br />
"Song 2" was featured in Intel's promotional commercials for its Pentium processors, and in UK trailers for the film ''[[Starship Troopers]]''. It was also in computer game from [[EA Sports]] "[[FIFA Series|FIFA: Road To World Cup 98]]". In 2001 the song was memorably featured in one of BMW's wildly successful [[The Hire]] Internet films, "Star," directed by [[Guy Ritchie]].<br />
<br />
Blur fans sometimes report that Song 2 is a satire on American pop rock music, a deliberate construction based on successful rock songs. The success of the song would testify to their triumph, as the song is not understood to be a satire of the majority of listeners. Some ironic critics suggest that this was a rumor started as a satire of "indie kids" who are too eager to criticize pop music and read too much into other music. Neither of these rumors has been confirmed.<br />

"'''Song 2'''" is a song and single by [[Blur]]. It was released from their eponymous fifth album, ''[[Blur (album)|Blur]]'' on [[April 7]], [[1997]]. The song is named purely for the fact that it is the second song on the album, although it also happens to be two minutes and two seconds long. Because of the obscure title, which is not featured in the lyrics, it is widely believed to be called "Woohoo" or "Wayhoo" because of its chorus.<br />
<br />
Released on purple 7" [[vinyl record]] and 2 [[CD]]s; "Song 2" reached #2 (fittingly) in the [[UK singles chart]] and was the band's biggest hit in the USA, reaching #6 on Billboard's [[Modern Rock Tracks chart]] and #25 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.<br />
<br />
"Song 2" was featured in Intel's promotional commercials for its Pentium processors, and in UK trailers for the film ''[[Starship Troopers]]''. It was also in computer game from [[EA Sports]] "[[FIFA Series|FIFA: Road To World Cup 98]]". In 2001 the song was memorably featured in one of BMW's wildly successful [[The Hire]] Internet films, "Star," directed by [[Guy Ritchie]].<br />
<br />
Blur fans sometimes report that Song 2 is a satire on American pop rock music, a deliberate construction based on successful rock songs. The success of the song would testify to their triumph, as the song is not understood to be a satire of the majority of listeners. Some ironic critics suggest that this was a rumor started as a satire of "indie kids" who are too eager to criticize pop music and read too much into other music. Neither of these rumors has been confirmed.<br />

<hr />
<div>"'''Babe I'm Gonna Leave You'''" is a [[folk]] song performed by [[Joan Baez]] and most famously by the [[rock and roll|rock]] group [[Led Zeppelin]], on their [[1969]] [[Led Zeppelin (album)|debut album]]. The band was inspired to cover the song after hearing Baez's version and credited it as a traditional arrangement since they did not know who wrote it. They later found out it was written by a folk singer named [[Anne Briggs]], and credited it to "Anne Bredon".<br />
<br />
[[Guitar|Guitarist]] [[Jimmy Page]] recorded two other versions of the song, one with [[Marianne Faithfull]], and the other with [[Steve Winwood]], in [[1968]]. The Winwood version was never released.<br />

[[Category:Songs popular at sporting events]]</div>Moochocooglehttps://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pokarekare_Ana&diff=117700279Pokarekare Ana2005-03-03T23:53:32Z<p>Moochocoogle: category</p>
<hr />
<div>'''Pokarekare Ana''' is a traditional [[New Zealand]] love song, probably communally composed about the time World War 1 began in 1914.<br />
<br />
East Coast Maori song-writer Paraire Tomoana, who polished up the song in 1917 and published the words in 1921, wrote that ''it emanated from the North of Auckland'' and was popularised by [[Maori]] soldiers who were training near [[Auckland]] before embarking for the war in [[Europe]].<br />
<br />
There have been numerous claims and counterclaims regarding authorship over the years. Although the matter has never been definitively settled, guardianship of the words and music are held by the family (descendants) of Paraire Tomoana. <br />
<br />
Although the Maori words have virtually remained unaltered over the decades, with only the waters in the first line being localized, there have been many different English translations.<br />
<br />
Originally sung in a subtle 3/4 (waltz) time, since World War 2 it has been heard in a more plodding 4/4 time.<br />
<br />
The song is performed, usually badly in Maori, wherever Kiwis congregate anywhere in the world. It is very popular in New Zealand and is sometimes called the country's unofficial national anthem, although it has been adapted to commercial advertising and by sporting groups.<br />
<br />
Late in 2003 ''Pokarekare Ana'' featured on the ''Pure'' album released worldwide by the young New Zealand soprano [[Hayley Westenra]]. ''Pure'' is the fastest selling debut album ever on the [[UK classical chart]]s. Internationally known New Zealand opera singers to previously record and perform ''Pokarekare Ana'' are [[Kiri Te Kanawa|Dame Kiri Te Kawana]] and [[Dame Malvina Major]]. Dozens of other artists throughout the world have recorded this song.<br />
<br />
New Zealand soldiers taught it to Korean children during the 1950-53 war, and it is now much sung in South Korea.<br />
<br />
A schoolyard parody, ''O curry curry arna, I found a squashed banana'', is well known to New Zealand school-children, and was being sung in [[Melbourne]] playgrounds in the mid-1970s. <br />
<br />
The tune of Pokarekare Ana has been borrowed for an Irish wedding song ''A Mhuire Mháthair sé seo mo ghuí.''<br />

<hr />
<div>:''This article is about the song. For soccer player, see [[Thomas Dooley]].''<br />
<br />
'''Tom Dooley''' is the historical subject of an old [[North Carolina]] [[folk song]]. Laura Foster was murdered in 1866 in [[Wilkes County, North Carolina|Wilkes County]], and Tom Dooley was convicted of the crime and hanged. Local legend holds that Tom Dooley's love Annie Melton may have actually killed Foster, and that the sheriff who took custody of Dooley and presided over the hanging, Sheriff Grayson, was jealous of Dooley. These events are described in the doleful ballad that is still commonly sung in North Carolina, which was made popular by a 1952 recording by the [[Kingston Trio]].<br />
<br />
Here are the lyrics to the song:<br />
:Hang your head, Tom Dooley<br />
:Hang your head and cry<br />
:You killed poor Laurie Foster<br />
:And you know you're bound to die<br />
<br />
:You left her by the roadside<br />
:Where you begged to be excused<br />
:You left her by the roadside<br />
:Then you hid her clothes and shoes<br />
<br />
:Hang your head, Tom Dooley<br />
:Hang your head and cry<br />
:You killed poor Laurie Foster<br />
:And you know you're bound to die<br />
<br />
:You took her on the hillside<br />
:For to make her your wife<br />
:You met her on the mountain<br />
:And stabbed her with your knife<br />
<br />
:You dug the grave four feet long<br />
:And you dug it three feet deep;<br />
:You rolled the cold clay over her<br />
:And tromped it with your feet.<br />
<br />
:Hang your head, Tom Dooley,<br />
:Hang your head and cry;<br />
:You killed poor Laurie Foster,<br />
:And you know you're bound to die.<br />
<br />
:"Trouble, oh it's trouble<br />
:A-rollin' through my breast;<br />
:As long as I'm a-livin', boys,<br />
:They ain't a-gonna let me rest.<br />
<br />
:I know they're gonna hang me,<br />
:Tomorrow I'll be dead,<br />
:Though I never even harmed a hair<br />
:On poor little Laurie's head."<br />
<br />
:Hang your head, Tom Dooley,<br />
:Hang your head and cry;<br />
:You killed poor Laurie Foster,<br />
:And you know you're bound to die.<br />
<br />
:"In this world and one more<br />
:Then reckon where I'll be;<br />
:If is wasn't for Sheriff Grayson,<br />
:I'd be in Tennesee.<br />
<br />
:You can take down my old violin<br />
:And play it all you please.<br />
:For at this time tomorrow, boys,<br />
:It'll be of no use to me."<br />
<br />
:Hang your head, Tom Dooley,<br />
:Hang your head and cry;<br />
:You killed poor Laurie Foster,<br />
:And you know you're bound to die.<br />
<br />
:"At this time tomorrow<br />
:Where do you reckon I'll be?<br />
:Away down yonder in the holler<br />
:Hangin' on a white oak tree.<br />
<br />
:Hang your head, Tom Dooley,<br />
:Hang your head and cry;<br />
:You killed poor Laurie Foster,<br />
:And you know you're bound to die.<br />

<hr />
<div>"'''Puttin' on the Ritz'''" is a [[pop music|popular song]] written and published in [[1929]] by [[Irving Berlin]]. The title derives from the [[American English]] [[slang]] expression "Putting on the Ritz", meaning to dress very fashionably. The expression was inspired by the swanky [[The Ritz Hotel|Ritz Hotel]].<br />
<br />
The original version of Berlin's song referred to the then popular fad of well-to-do [[Caucasian|white]] [[New York City|New Yorkers]] visiting [[African American]] [[jazz]] music venues in [[Harlem]]. Berlin later revised the lyrics to be more generally aplicable to going out on the town in style. <br />
<br />
Hit [[gramophone record|phonograph records]] of the tune in its original popularity of 1929-1930 were recorded by [[Harry Richman]] and [[Fred Astaire]].<br />
<br />
This tune has enjoyed a number of revivals including a hit [[swing music]] version by [[Benny Goodman]], being sung and danced to by [[Fred Astaire]] in the [[1946]] film [[Blue Skies]], being memorably and humorously used in the [[1974]] film ''[[Young Frankenstein]]'', and returning to the hit parade again with a version by [[Taco Ockerse]] recorded in [[1982]].<br />
<br />
== 1930 movie ==<br />
The first of many [[movie]]s to feature the number was the [[1930]] film entitled ''Puttin' On The Ritz''. The [[musical film]] was directed by [[Edward Sloman]] and starred [[Harry Richman]], [[Joan Bennett]], and [[James Gleason]]. <br />

<hr />
<div>'''<tt>words</tt>''' is a standard file on all [[Unix]] and Unix-like operating system, and is simply a [[newline]] delimited file of dictionary words. With Unix's text processing capabilities, one can use the words file for many purposes.<br />
<br />
For example, using the [[grep]] tool, one can find all three letter words without any vowels, using [[regular expression]]s:<br />
cat /usr/share/dict/words | egrep "^[^AEIOUaeiou][^AEIOUaeiou][^AEIOUaeiou]$"<br />
<br />
The words file is usually stored in <tt>/usr/share/dict/words</tt>, or <tt>/usr/share/words</tt>.<br />
<br />
A words file is also used to contain words related to a specific topic. One such example of this is for [[profanity]] [[censorship|censoring]] [[software]] that replaces profanities, for example, posted on the web with strings such as "###" or some other replacement. Words that are posted in this example are compared with a "bad-words" file and then if there is an occurrence of such a word, it is summarily replaced.<br />

"'''Song 2'''" is a song and single by [[Blur]]. It was released from their eponymous fifth album, ''[[Blur (album)|Blur]]'' on [[7 April]], [[1997]]. The song is named purely for the fact that it is the second song on the album, although it also happens to be two minutes and two seconds long.

"'''Song 2'''" is a song and single by [[Blur]]. It was released from their eponymous fifth album, ''[[Blur (album)|Blur]]''. The song is named purely for the fact that it is the second song on the album, although it also happens to be two minutes and two seconds long. Because of the obscure title, which is not featured in the lyrics, it is widely believed to be called "Woohoo" or "Wayhoo" because of its chorus.<br />
<br />
Released on purple 7" [[vinyl record]] and 2 [[CD]]s; "Song 2" reached #2 (fittingly) in the [[UK singles chart]] and was the bands's biggest hit in the USA, reaching #6 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''A Fairytale of New York''' is novel by [[J. P. Donleavy]], published in 1973, originally a short story based on Donleavy's succesful stage play, ''Fairy Tales of New York.'' It concerns Irish-American Cornelius Christian's return to New York after studying in Ireland.<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
'''Fairytale of New York''' is an [[Ireland|Irish]] [[folk music|folk]] style ballad by UK-based [[punk music|punk]]/folk group [[The Pogues]], also featuring [[Kirsty MacColl]]. <br />
<br />
It features two Irish [[immigration|immigrants]], lovers or ex-lovers, reminiscing and bickering in the drunk tank over [[Christmas]] in [[New York]]. MacColl's melodious singing contrasts with the harsh sound of [[Shane MacGowan]]'s voice and the lyrics which are sometimes bittersweet, sometimes plain bitter.<br />
<br />
<!-- please don't add the full lyrics as they are copyrighted --><br />
Sample from lyrics:<br><br />
<i>"You scumbag, you maggot, you cheap lousy faggot! <br><br />
Happy Christmas your arse, I pray God it's our last".</i><br />
<br />
The track was released as a single in [[1987]] and reached #1 in the Irish charts and #2 in the [[United Kingdom|British]] charts over Christmas (the time of peak sales). It has since been covered by [[Ronan Keating]] and [[Moya Brennan|Maire Brennan]], who changed the above lyric to "You scumbag, you maggot, you're cheap and you're haggard".<br />

<hr />
<div>'''"Perfect Day"''' is a song written by [[Lou Reed]] in [[1972]], made famous in the 1990s through featuring in the film ''[[Trainspotting (movie)|Trainspotting]]'' ([[1996]]), and after its release as a charity single in [[1997]].<br />
<br />
Originally featuring on the 1972 album ''Transformer'', the song deals with Reed's attitude towards his own addiction to heroin, portraying it in romanticised and fond phrase.<br />
<br />
Reed has praised [[cover version]]s of the song recorded by [[Duran Duran]] (on their [[1995]] album ''[[Thank You (Duran Duran album)|Thank You]]'') and [[Kirsty MacColl]] (on her 1995 album ''Galore'').<br />
<br />
In 1997 it was featured by the [[BBC]] in a lengthy corporate advertisement of its own programs. The advert was shown on BBC channels and in cinemas and won both awards and praise from commentators. This version was eventually released as a charity single in November of that year for [[Children In Need]]. The charity version featured a host of well-known singers and performers, with Reed himself opening and closing the song, and was the UK's number one single for two weeks, selling over a million copies.<br />

<hr />
<div>:''This article discusses the possibilities of life on the planet Mars. For the song by David Bowie, see [[Life on Mars?]].''<br />
Scientists, philosophers and theologians have long speculated about the possibility of '''life on Mars,''' due to that planet's proximity and similarity to [[Earth]]. While there appears to be no life on the planet now, it remains a scientifically open question whether life existed there in the past.<br />
<br />
== History of the debate ==<br />
<br />
By the mid-19th century, astronomers knew that [[Mars (planet)|Mars]] had certain similarities to Earth. They knew that the length of a day on Mars was almost the same as a day on [[Earth]], and they also knew that its [[axial tilt]] was similar to Earth's, which meant it experienced seasons just as Earth does. They could observe ice caps at the north and south poles of Mars, which grew and shrank with the seasons.<br />
<br />
Speculation about life on Mars exploded in the late 19th century, following telescopic observation of apparent [[canals on Mars|canals]] &mdash; which were later found to be optical illusions. In [[1854]], [[William Whewell]], a fellow of [[Trinity College]], [[Cambridge University]] who popularized the word ''scientist,'' theorized that Mars had seas, land and possibly life forms. In [[1895]], American astronomer [[Percival Lowell]] published his book ''Mars,'' followed by ''Mars and its Canals'' in [[1906]], proposing that the canals were the work of a long-gone civilization. This idea led British writer [[H. G. Wells]] to write ''[[The War of the Worlds (novel)|The War of the Worlds]]'' in [[1897]], telling of an invasion by aliens from Mars who were fleeing the planet’s desiccation.<br />
<br />
Better telescope imagery, and especially the photos taken by the [[Mariner 4]] probe in [[1965]] showed an arid Mars without rivers, oceans or visible plants. Intense [[UV radiation]] made the planet extremely hostile to life. Although the [[Viking program|Viking]] lander's tests for microbes in [[1976]] were inconclusive, most scientists hold that their findings can be explained on the basis of chemical reactions alone.<br />
<br />
==Modern findings==<br />
<br />
In recent years speculation has grown again, however – prodded by a study of the [[ALH84001]] meteorite which concluded that it contained fossilized microbes. Other scientists have subsequently sought to explain these findings on the basis of chemical processes and they remain controversial within the scientific community.<br />
<br />
Another glimmer of hope for past and present life on Mars has been revealed with the ongoing research into [[extremophile]]s on Earth which survive under the harshest conditions. Evidence for present water under the surface of Mars has been discovered in the form of flood-like gullies in June [[2000]]. [http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2000/ast29jun_1m.htm] Deep subsurface [[water]] deposits near the planet's liquid core might form a present-day habitat for life. The [[Mars Express]] probe carries a subsurface radar that will test for the existence of water or ice in the upper crust of Mars.<br />
<br />
No Mars probe since Viking has tested the Martian soil directly for signs of life. NASA's recent missions have focused on another question: whether Mars held lakes or oceans of liquid water on its surface in the ancient past. Many scientists have long held this to be almost self-evident based on various geological landforms on the planet, but others have proposed different explanations -- wind erosion, carbon dioxide oceans, etc. Thus, the mission of the [[Mars Exploration Rover Mission|Mars Exploration Rovers]] of 2004 was not to look for life (not even in the form of [[fossil]]s), but for evidence of liquid water on the surface of Mars in the planet's ancient past. <br />
<br />
In [[March 2004]], NASA announced that its rover "Opportunity" had discovered evidence that Mars was, in the ancient past, a wet planet. This has raised hopes that evidence of past life might be found on the planet today. Later that same month, the orbiting [[ESA]] probe [[Mars Express]] confirmed the presence of [[methane]] in the martian atmosphere, which had earlier been suggested by observations of the [[Infrared telescope]] on Hawaii and the [[Gemini South]] observatory in Chile in 2003. As methane cannot persist in the martian atmosphere for more than a few hundred years, this suggests that either Mars has recently been [[Volcano|volcanically]] active, or that some kind of [[extremophile]] life form similar to some present on Earth is metabolising carbon dioxide and hydrogen and producing methane. A Nasa scientist has also said that there are no known ways for ammonia to be present in the Martian atmosphere that do not involve life [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3896335.stm].<br />
<br />
==Fringe viewpoints==<br />
<br />
Among the more extreme beliefs held in mainstream academia is that of Dr. [[Courtney Brown]], an associate professor of political science at [[Emory University]], who has has written two books saying an ancient race of humanoid Martians are living below the surface of Mars. He believes they survived a catastrophic natural disaster on their planet eons ago, destroying their atmosphere. Dr. Brown bases his conclusions on data he supposedly gathered by [[remote viewing]].<br />

<hr />
<div>Written by [[bass]]ist [[John Deacon]], "'''Another One Bites The Dust'''" is a funk-oriented rock song from the British group [[Queen (band)|Queen]]. This song was a worldwide crossover hit (hitting the Top Ten on the Pop charts, and topping the R & B charts). Ironically, it topped the latter charts on the merit that some fans thought Queen was an R & B group, and that it came pretty much at the tail end of the Disco era. The track can be found on the album ''[[The Game (album)|The Game]]''. Another major hit of this album was [[Freddie Mercury]]'s "[[Crazy Little Thing Called Love]]".<br />
<br />
It was inspired by [[Chic]]'s (Bernard Edwards & Nile Rodgers) "Good Times", and in turn inspired the [[Weird Al Yankovic|"Weird Al" Yankovic]] debut album parody "Another One Rides The Bus".<br />
<br />
Strangely, when [[backmasking|played backwards]], the refrain sounds like "it's fun to smoke [[marijuana]]." [http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/queen.php] It is unknown whether this is intentional, but [[Brian May]] has denied that it was deliberate.<br />

<hr />
<div>The image of the '''evil clown''' is a recent development in American [[popular culture]], in which the playful trope of the [[clown]] is rendered as disturbing through the use of dark humor and horror elements.<br />
<br />
Many people find [[clown]]s disturbing rather than amusing. Clown costumes tend to exaggerate the facial features and some body parts, such as hands and feet. This can be read as monstrous or deformed as easily as it can be read as comical. At the same time, the clown act is often represented as drunken, reckless, or simply insane -- that of the giggling maniac.<br />
<br />
It is interesting to note that the word 'harlequin', usually referring to a jester in English, actually means 'devil rider' in French.<br />
<br />
Major examples of "evil clown" imagery are:<br />
*[[Stephen King]]'s novel ''[[It (novel)|It]]''<br />
*Musical groups such as the [[Insane Clown Posse]] and [[Slipknot (band)|Slipknot]]<br />
*[[Science fiction]] films such as ''[[Killer Klowns From Outer Space]]''<br />
*[[The Joker]], the greatest enemy of [[Batman]], is a murderously insane [[supervillain]] with a disturbing clown-like appearance.<br />
*[[Serial killer]] [[John Wayne Gacy]] also dressed as a clown at parties and painted clowns while in jail.<br />
* [[Doink the Clown|Doink the Clown and his sidekick Dink the Clown]], the [[stage name]]s of a [[professional wrestling]] team of the 1990s. The pair wrestled in clown costume and makeup, but for the most part portrayed ''"[[Heel (professional wrestling)|heel]]s"'', the wrestling term for a 'bad guy', one who wrestles in an unsportsmanlike manner.<br />
<br />
Though most clowns are quite wholesome, some [[sexual abuse]]rs of children use clown costumes or similar ruses to attract their victims and to appear as if they are harmless.</div>Moochocoogle
