February 19[edit]

Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus[edit]

When will Disney stop producing new episodes of Hannah Montana? How old does Miley Cyrus have to be before that happens? Bowei Huang (talk) 07:22, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, Disney owns her until she turns 18. After that, see what happened to the last two precocious Disney female properties once they bought their freedom... </facetiousness> --Jayron32.talk.contribs 05:27, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed your links, though I imagine they redirected anyway. --Anon, 06:51 UTC, Feb. 19, 2009.

I am the Computer Man[edit]

When I was younger, around 6 or 7(so this was around 1995/6) my parents played a cassette for me and my brothers. On it, there was one song in particular I can remember, with the main lyric being sung by a robotic-sounding man saying, "I am the computer man, I can do anything you can". I'm pretty sure it was an album made for kids judging by the amount of kids talking and singing on it. I was wondering if anybody knew who did this song, and perhaps, a place where I could find a recording of it. Thank you.76.179.230.138 (talk) 05:05, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That line is not in it, but similar lines are in the song Particle Man by They Might Be Giants... Justa stab in the dark... --Jayron32.talk.contribs 05:25, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
About a minute googling for "computer man" suggests it might be a song called Computer Man by Canadian recording artist Bob Schneider (and the Rainbow Kids), who specialises in kid's music. You can buy it from Amazon[1] or listen to a clip for free, although the clip doesn't feature the lyrics you mention. I'm fairly sure it's not Particle Man at least. --Maltelauridsbrigge (talk) 13:04, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, you can listen to the whole song here and it does feature the lyrics. It says: Artist: Bob Schneider and the Rainbow Kids, Album title: When You Dream A Dream, Release date: 1990-01-01, track 1: Computer Man. --Maltelauridsbrigge (talk) 13:08, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

regarding Enzo, and Happy[edit]

By any chance, are Enzo the dog and Happy the Dog in "talks" to write their memoirs, like Enzo's father Moose (dog actor)? Where can I find any plush toys in Happy's likeness?72.229.135.200 (talk) 07:15, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

BIG NIGHT SOUNDTRACK DATES[edit]

I have looked absolutely everywhere and I just can't seem to find the recording dates of the following tracks included on 1996's great Big Night soundtrack: Claudio Villa's "La Strada Del Busco" and "Tic Ti, Tic Ta", and Matteo Salvatore's "Mo Ve'la Bella Mia Da La Montagna". Thanks much.65.110.174.71 (talk) 19:31, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

www.idolonfox.com[edit]

This website has been replaced by the eponymous www.AmericanIdol.com - was it previously being used by a cybersquatter? When did Fox get the rights to the name? Did they pay a ransom for it?

I don't know the details of this case, but generally either companies buy the domain or, if that doesn't work, they may go to court to obtain them. DJ Clayworth (talk) 20:14, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
