[edit]

NHL lines and past rosters

[edit]

Does anyone know a website that contains information concerning the lines of the teams ? Example: LW - [insert name], C - [insert name], RW - [insert name], D - [insert name], D - [insert name]

Also, I am searching for past rosters. Example: [insert name] 1997 roster. Plastic Racoon (talk) 04:31, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Internet Hockey Database, perhaps? Adam Bishop (talk) 07:18, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I found nothing on the teams' websites about their lines.

Thanks to Adam Bishop for the past rosters. Plastic Racoon (talk) 17:19, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Songs

Who wrote, 'The wheels on the bus go round and round'? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.193.13.44 (talk) 09:10, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

One of Raffi's albums cites it as "Traditional", and I would likewise expect that at this point the author is unknown. — Lomn 13:13, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That may be true but it is a bit surprising. The word "bus" is a shortened form of "omnibus", which in as applied to vehicles (originally horse-drawn ones) is only about 180 years old. If something's origins have been lost as "traditional", one would expect it to be older than that. --Anonymous, 19:50 UTC, June 9, 2008.
It happens. Look at the Hokey Cokey for one. And does anyone know who came up with the words that many children sing to the theme tune of The Adams Family? 79.74.56.70 (talk) 17:57, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Are you sure you didn't mean The Addams Family? I doubt many kids are singing much of anything regarding The Adams Family! Matt Deres (talk) 18:53, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It does seem more likely, but I see no reason why children shouldn't being singing about either :) 79.74.56.70 (talk) 00:00, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps we could combine them together ? "First there was John Adams ... then later on John Quincy ... now drink to Samuel Adams ... the Aaaaaadams family (snap, snap)". StuRat (talk)
I do understand the spelling error, though, as I associate double D's more with Marilyn Munster than Morticia Addams. :-) StuRat (talk) 14:18, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Song title/band name

[edit]

Does anyone know the name of this song or the band who did it? It has the lyrics "I love(d) you all the same!" at the end of every verse. Think it might be Travis who played it. Sorry about lack of other details 144.32.126.15 (talk) 19:45, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A simple Google search gave the song You Stole the Sun From My Heart. Is that it? Leeboyge (talk) 21:10, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Yes, thanks! 144.32.126.14 (talk) 18:46, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
