January 12[edit]

Common generic music: "dum diddly dum bump"[edit]

Third segment in on the "Letter Q Day" segment (wait for the video to auto-load), Big Bird starts singing quietly, and ends with "dum diddly dum dump dum dum...", or something phonetically similar. What is that? I've heard it thousands of times, not sure the source. -- Zanimum (talk) 01:02, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sickly?[edit]

Is Actor Sean Murray,NCIS Tim Mcgee ill or has he lost that much weight he is looking sickly? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.231.33.140 (talk) 02:26, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I read recently (US TV Guide perhaps) that he had quit drinking and had been working out. No illness was mentioned.Chief41074 (talk) 16:54, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

iPod lyrics[edit]

My friend recently was playing a song on his iPod Touch and the lyrics showed up onscreen right on top of the album cover. We weren't even in an area with Wi-Fi. How can I get that on my 4th generation iPod Touch? --Nick4404 yada yada yada What have I done? 03:00, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

They appear on my first generation iPod touch but I had to import them into the lyrics section of iTunes. --Shylocksboy (talk) 05:04, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I found this with my iPhone recently... It's part of the music file itself as I was in "airplane" mode at the time it happened to me... It was a random track on the "Nightmare" Album by Avenged Sevenfold... All the other tracks showed the album cover, and then this track came on (can't remember now which one) and all the lyrics were displayed... gazhiley.co.uk 09:45, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Doesn't turning Settings > iPod > Lyrics & Podcast Info > ON do this? sparkl!sm hey! 11:50, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Quite possibly, but the OP wanted to know where they came from, whether they were part of the file or downloaded while the track was playing, etc gazhiley.co.uk 12:31, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mortinho por Chegar a Casa, isn't this movie subtitled in English?[edit]

Mortinho por Chegar a Casa, I remember seeing it on big screen with English subs but can't find English subs for download. Anybody can help? --117.204.84.249 (talk) 04:42, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
