  3. VH1 Behind The Music: Selena --- Looking for the Video

    in Questions and Answers

    Posted

    The only one I found was the same one you presented. I thought maybe there was a site like hulu that would have something, but it doesn't appear so. Maybe peer file-sharing networks (such as Limewire) will have one available, but those are tedious to download.

    And, with those guys like Limewire, you never know if those videos are porn in disguise. I had that happen to me with Kazaa, when out of nowhere, without my consent, these videos were being downloaded automatically to my laptop a few years ago. Videos that I didn't ask for. There was even one that was actually a virus, so now I have to be careful where I go to find my music and videos.

  7. Men At Work - Dr. Heckyll And Mr. Jive

    in Questions and Answers

    I listened to the song and watched the video for it also.

    Since the song title is a pun on "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" in which Mr. Hyde is evil and roams the streets of London, England, I would think the bell chiming is coming from one of the bell towers in London, possibly the famous "Big Ben" clock tower, as MS29 said.

    The band could have used any effect to achieve the bell sound.

    They may not wanted or cared if the chime was the exact tone as the actual bell on Big Ben.

    I think the wind blowing adds a scary feeling to the eerie scene that one would encounter late at night with a madman on the loose.

    The tapping sound does sound like it could be footsteps, but not someone walking at a normal pace, perhaps someone walking fast to escape a following Mr. Hyde or perhaps Mr. Hyde himself walking very fast to catch up with a woman who is walking the streets late at night.

    The video shows a man walking the streets late at night, but not at a very fast pace that would match the audio sound. That doesn't rule out that the sound could be footsteps, though.

    It has somewhat of a "clacking" sound that would match maybe a woman's shoe or even a man's shoe if they were walking at a very fast pace.

    If it is, they may have recorded actual footsteps or it's possible they made the sound by tapping the drumstick on the metal rim of the snare drum trying to simulate someone walking fast.

    It could very well be something different than footsteps.

    On the other hand, just because they are evenly spaced doesn't mean they aren't footsteps.

    If you are running from something and you keep a steady pace, your footsteps will be evenly paced.

    It's possible they made the sound with a sound effect machine.

    Whether or not they meant it to be footsteps or a ticking clock or something else is anybody's guess.

    Maybe I could ask Colin. Do you think he's the one who knows?

  8. Classic Albums Series --- Suggestions For Additions

    You're right, It probably was Face Value and I have them confused.

    They interview the producers and engineers and other people who worked on the album as well as critics who state their opinion. I've seen the band members talk some, but not often, they must be hard to book for this type of documentary.

    One band I would like to see reunite, with all its original members is, Men At Work! Wouldn't that be amazing? As someone once put it, "Vegemite! Maaaaaaaaaaaaate!"

    A lot of those are good, but I thought they had a documentary on Phil Collins' No Jacket Required, I've seen it anyways as well as a few others (Back in Black, Wish You Were Here, Thriller, etc.)

    Strangely enough, when I talked with Nathaniel, he said they didn't have any of those ones. You might be confused because there is one on Phil Collins: "Face Value". As for "Back In Black", you might be confused on that one as well, because there's a series called "A Classic Album in Review", which according to Nathaniel, is a cheap imitation of the original. What it is, is they don't even have a single band member in these ones, and they have like a tribute band playing the bands songs, with what seems like people expressing their opinions on the album, rather than having the actual bands interviewed, and the master tapes of original studio recordings being played. So my question is, where did you get the idea that they had some of these in the "Classic Albums" Series?

    Hi, Anabelle!! :)

    I couldn't find any info... Wikipedia only mentions these instruments:

    Greg Ham - flute, keyboards, saxophone, background vocals, lead vocals on track 9

    Colin Hay - guitar, lead vocals

    Johnathan Rees - bass, background vocals

    Jerry Speiser - drums, background vocals

    Ron Strykert - guitar, background vocals, lead vocals on track 3

    What's your Email Address? This way, I can send you the song, since I have the album it's on, "Cargo".

  16. Men At Work - Dr. Heckyll And Mr. Jive

    in Questions and Answers

    On the song, "Dr. Heckyll And Mr. Jive" by Men At Work, there's one thing that's struck me as interesting. The intro. When I listen to it, I hear what sounds like wind blowing, soft ticking, and then a chime. When my partner listens to the intro, to him, the ticking sounds like someone's footsteps. Where did that intro come from? And what is that chime? Is there a "Making of Men At Work: Cargo"? If so, where can I listen to it?

  19. Men At Work - Down Under

    in Questions and Answers

    Posted

    I read recently that Men At Work's hit song, "Down Under" was involved in a lawsuit. Apparently the argument was over the fact that the flute riff was taken from the classic children's tune, "Kookaburra". How many of you Songfacts Members notice a difference or a similarity between the two songs? Do any of you think that the two songs are exactly identical?
