March 31[edit]

Lyrics[edit]

I want the lyrics of that typical yet racy song'ACHI MACHI BAMBOL BUM CHIKI CHIKI CHIKI CHIKI CHIKITHA'.I dont even know the singer's name but it was sung in the 90's.The tune is really catchy and cool and was very popular at that time.210.212.215.141 07:20, 31 March 2007 (UTC)Ecclesiasticalparanoid[reply]

It's probably "chiquita", not "chikitha". Where did you hear the song? Which country? 惑乱分からん * \)/ (\ (< \) (2 /) /)/ * 15:17, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mario Luis's "La Chiqui Chiquita" maybe? --Wirbelwindヴィルヴェルヴィント (talk) 17:39, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Ketchup Song by Las Ketchup. Was a summer hit somewhen in the 90s. Aetherfukz 11:18, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You mean "tic tic tac" from "Carrapicho" or "Chilli" :)

Your second question seems to be referring to "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen. I'm not sure if that's what you're actually asking though. Cnwb 11:50, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Aaahhh, that line was covered in an r'n'b version. I remember that, but I forgot the band name... Possibly The Braids. 惑乱分からん * \)/ (\ (< \) (2 /) /)/ * 15:27, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Musical torture[edit]

Before anyone asks: I moved this from the Misc. desk to this desk because I just recently found out we had...this desk. Cernen Xanthine Katrena 10:58, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. Recently, I've been cycling through my music library, and I stumbled upon this little nugget of song that apparently came from Yoshi's Story, but wasn't used in the general soundtrack. I swear to all that is holy, though, that I've heard these few notes before somewhere, and can't for the life of me remember just where. I thusly put to you these few notes, in the hopes that you will be able to identify them.

It sounds like a common lullaby. I can't quite place it but it reminds me of "When You Wish upon a Star". Dismas|^(talk) 11:16, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. Haven't seen you in a while around here, Cernen. Dismas|^(talk)

Sounds like an opera aria I can't think of the name of at the moment. Edison 18:21, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's not from any opera I've ever heard, and I'm familiar with virtually the entire standard reportoire. To me, it doesn't sound the least bit operatic (but you never know). JackofOz 06:24, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Im definitelly sure I've heard the first bit before, but I can't remember where from, then after that it sounds like those boxes you open and there's the person inside spinning, but I'm usually wrong about most things :( HS7 19:08, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're right about that; the composer for Yoshi's Story intended a lot of the musical pieces to pass for children's music (the game was designed around a sort of child's world of imagination). You wouldn't be too far off the mark there to guess that. Cernen Xanthine Katrena 20:27, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My grandfather and I have come up with a possibility: could it have come from a Disney film? Cernen Xanthine Katrena 20:43, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

to me it kind of sounds like My Favorite Things (song) also sounds like the water music in super mario brothers, and like the music from super mario 3 when you enter a mushroom house, (i think). -- Diletante 20:52, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The part after the xylophonish music is vaguely familiar, yes. I remember something like it being played with strings, but I can't remember where. -Wo o ty Woot? contribs 18:08, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

during exercise time taking breath by mouth is ok. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sharmila 99 (talk • contribs)

Thank you for the advice. I was always curious as to whether or not that was kosher. Cernen Xanthine Katrena 02:01, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If I hadn't just watched Happy, Texas, I wouldn't have made a connection, but the first notes of the melody remind me of Bjork's "It's Oh So Quiet" which is itself a cover of a Betty Hutton song. - 21:22, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

It sounds like a Donkey Kong version of La Vie En Rose. Addendum: OMG, I didn't even realise that this version is from a video game, lolz. Go me! Anchoress 06:46, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
