all time favorite camp song

My son and i just got back from a boyscout overnight dad & lad camping trip at camp thunderbird in olympia washington. At breakfast the scouts that were running this event sang a song called johnny rabec(sp) or maybe sausages. the chouris gose something like "Ooh mr. mr. Johnny rabec how could you be so mean. I told you you'd be sory for inventing that machine. Now all the neightbors cats and dogs will never again be seen. Ooh mr mr johnny Rabec how could you be so mean." Now that we are back home my son and i would like to get the rest of the words to the song if you could help that would be much appriciated.

                                                            Karter and David
                                                            Aberdeen Washington

P.S. if there are any other camp songs that you Know the words to I would like them also. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.22.200.105 (talk) 03:39, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Some sites call him Johnny Verbeck, while others call him Dunderbeck. That second site also has a list of songs and skits. Clarityfiend (talk) 04:56, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There must be almost infinite variations in the lyrics of such songs. The version I'm familiar with from my youth (1950s U.S. Midwest) used the name "Johnny Rebeck" (and he was "a jolly Dutchman" rather than "a little Dutch boy") but was otherwise very close to the version in Clarityfiend's first link.

movie

This Indian movie was to have a backdrop of 1880s but they shifted a decade ahead, only because the 1880s fashion gave very unfashionable clothing for women: plain cuts and dull gray and black colors. Can you guess the name of the movie? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Amolsharma99 (talk • contribs) 08:17, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Are you asking because you don't know, or is this a trivia question? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 09:43, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Getting music rights for cabaret act

If I want to use some pop music in a cabaret act in the UK, what would be the proceedure to follow to make doing so legal? The pop music could be recent or from some years ago. 78.147.8.170 (talk) 13:29, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you are intending to use music recorded by someone else, that music will almost certainly be subject to copyright, and permission, or a suitable licence, will need to be in place before you can play it as part of a public performance. We can't give you specific or detailed legal advice here, but PRS for Music (formerly the Performing Rights Society) is probably the best place to ask next (their website is here). They license the public performance of much of the recorded music in the UK, from pop music played on the radio to background music played in shopping malls, to music played as part of live stage shows. The type of licence or permission you will need will depend on where the performance is going to take place. Many venues hold a blanket PRS licence which covers all music played there. They will simply collect details of the music you use and pass the information to PRS, who use it to inform the distribution of royalties. If you are performing in other places, you may need to obtain permission directly from the copyright holder - PRS shoiuld be able to tell you how to proceed.

I have some questions

Does someone know how to use the game No One Lives Forever: The Operative on Windows Vista because when I try to run this game, the sound of it doesn't work absolutely.

Then I please want to know the piano piece from that video of the german version of Return to Castle Wolfenstein, the piano music is can be heared from a cantina from a radio and it starts at 00:53 and at 01:16 it starts to sound clearlier. 91.113.0.170 (talk) 15:23, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, why is there no answer? 188.23.34.44 (talk) 15:11, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Because no one who knows, or knows and has the time to give you unpaid advice, has read the question yet. Or has had the time to look up the answer for you. Or whatever. Britmax (talk) 09:39, 11 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Scene

Is the fashion style followed by "scene" girls influenced by trends/subcultures in Japan? --71.111.194.50 (talk) 17:23, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Could you be more descriptive? I've done various searches including looking through our list at scene and a Google search for "scene fashion" which is really unhelpful. Could you at least provide a link to a photo of girls in this "scene" fashion of which you speak? Dismas|^(talk) 01:54, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A few links: http://emohairstyle.blogspot.com/, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJ9sLIzHW78, http://www.wikihow.com/Be-a-Scene-Girl, http://malaysia.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091012173705AAisYEg --71.111.194.50 (talk) 12:49, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

to a certain extent, yes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.43.89.85 (talk) 12:33, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Donald Duck storyline

There's a storyline in the European Donald Duck pocket books where Donald is working as a secret agent, called in Finnish Tuplanolla ("double zero"). It's not the same storyline as Tamers of Nonhuman Threats, nor is it "Scrooge McDuck's Secret Service", where Donald and Fethry are hopelessly bumbling secret agents working for Scrooge. In this storyline, Donald is quite competent. He wears a tuxedo on missions and his superior is a large man. One of the key characters is an attractive woman who is revealed to be a double, or perhaps triple, agent. Does this series have an English name? What about other language names? JIP | Talk 17:25, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I read a lot of Donald Pocket books during the late eighties, but don't remenber this. But this search did reveal something, perhaps "DoubleDuck" is the English-language equivalent (note that these series are not necessarily written in English originally, so the original name might have been Italian or something.). The site I linked to (INDUCKS) seems to have a vast archive about these things. Jørgen (talk) 12:49, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's not surprising that you don't remember this storyline from the late eighties, because it only began less than a year ago. However, the link you provided above points to the exact same storyline, so now I know what it is called in English. Thanks for your help. Should I write a Wikipedia article about this? JIP | Talk 19:41, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's certainly a narrow topic, but why not? The storyline, not the specific characters, then, I suppose. And maybe only if it recurs in several stories over a time period of some length? Jørgen (talk) 08:09, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Butterfly Effect 2 / will Nick jr. ever rescue his father?

hi! in the last scene (in the german TV version) Nick jr. looked at that birthday party picture and the hand and arm of his mother are left in a changed state... Will there be a butterfly effect movie, where everything is fixed? at least halfways...? or is it just left to my fantasy to find a happy ending? or is my observation wrong? :-) bye! --Homer Landskirty (talk) 21:24, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. We are not here to predict the future of the entertainment industry. Someone may make the movie you want. Someone may not. -- kainaw ™ 22:51, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ohoh - ok... i just thought that they announced the sequel in the USA already (it takes about 2 yrs even until movies show up in germany...)... --Homer Landskirty (talk) 23:11, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The IMDB has an entry for a third movie in the series, called "The Butterfly Effect 3: Revelations". From the release dates, it appears that it never had a general release in the US but was only shown at a festival and then went to DVD. They say the DVD will be released in Germany on November 20 and the title in German is "Butterfly Effect 3 - Die Offenbarung". I have no idea of whether the story addresses the plot points asked about. --Anonymous, 05:05 UTC, November 9, 2009.
