still skeptical that a quarter of the world's population has watched the pokemon anime but i don't really care one way or the other, might as well take your word for it given that you're fishmech and i'm not

and as i am being serious as well, the only people who would care about the NextStep reference in the anime would be people who already watched, were studying, or were interested in / curious about the anime. Nobody who on their own choice went to the Nextstep article about Nextstep for the topic of Nextstep would want to learn about an anime's inside references to the OS. It's spam. The anime had 0 influence, bearing on or connection to the OS in any way.

wikipedia should forbid "references in popular culture" entirely on the pages of the things being referenced. the simpsons did an alfred hitchcock joke? put it on the simpsons page. you don't get to make an appearance on someone else's page just because you mentioned them

Learn about why an album is contextually important. A great place to start is the Dark Legions Archive, at http://www.anus.com/metal. Consult the sections on Philosophy, History, and Styles first. Make sure to bring a dictionary.

There was some controversy reported in India as some people were upset with the cat's name. In July 2004, demonstrators in the southern Keralian city of Thiruvananthapuram denounced the cat's name as an insult to the nation of India, and burned an effigy of President Bush in protest.[2][3]

The phrase "O RLY?" was used on the Something Awful Forums at least as early as August 2003.[6] The original "O RLY?" Snowy Owl image macro is based on a photo taken by nature photographer John White, which he posted to the newsgroup alt.binaries.pictures.animals in 2001.[7] According to White, the owl's expression in the photo was due to the bird panting to cool off, similar to a dog.[8] The expression was interpreted by an unidentified person to say "oh really?", and the phrase O RLY? was added in large letters (using a font similar to Kabel) at the bottom of the image. The O RLY? owl quickly became a standard retort to disputed statements to express disbelief,[9] and was followed by other owl image macros with phrases such as "YA RLY", "NO WAI!", "SRSLY?" and a number of others.[8]
Outside of Internet forums, O RLY? has been referenced in various video games, including World of Warcraft in which the auctioneer characters O’Reely and Yarly are a reference to "O RLY?" and "YA RLY!", respectively.[10]

Now I'm going to sing the Perry Mason theme

I don't speak music theory but what the hell is this:

The song has a double tonic structure of B major verse (in I-vi-ii-V cycles) and A major chorus connected by formal pivoting dominant chords.[14] In the opening bars in B major, after singing "In Penny Lane" (in an F#-B-C#-D# melody note ascent) McCartney uses major 3rds[clarification needed Do you mean harmony intervals, III chords, melody notes?] (on "Lane" and "Pocket") and major 7ths[clarification needed same issue] (on "a fireman" and "a portrait") then switches to a Bm key involving flattened 3rd notes (on "Queen" with a i7 [Bm7] chord) and flattened 7th notes (on "engine clean" [with a ♭VImaj7 [Gmaj7] chord] and "clean machine" [with a V7sus4 [F#7sus4] chord]).[15] This has been described as a profound and surprising innovation involving abandoning mid-cycle what initially appears to be a standard I-vi-ii-V Doo Wop pop chord cycle.[16] To get from the verse "In the pouring rain - very strange" McCartney uses an E chord as a pivot, (it is a IV chord in the preceding B key and a V in the looming A key) to take listeners back into the chorus ("Penny Lane is in my ears..."). Likewise to get back from the chorus of "There beneath the blue suburban skies I sit, and meanwhile back..., McCartney uses an F#7 pivot chord (which is a VI in the old A key and a V in the new B key). The lyrics "very strange" and "meanwhile back" can be viewed as hinting at these complex tonal changes.[17]

u deserve diploma for sublime comedy expertise
i understood way more about that than i should

music theory is really weird, a lot of songs are just composed by loving Around Until It Sounds Good or small clips that pop into an artists head. dissecting why it sounds good and the patterns/key changes that make a song catchy is cool and all but its spergy as all hell and leads to students directly applying the knowledge to try to make music and while it never sounds bad, it just sounds flat and lifeless.

yeah


like analysing the stock market in retrospect you can draw all sorts of formulas etc but you cant predioct. terrible analogy but music theory is cool


in pigs on a wing part 1 the chords go c-csus4-c g-gsus4-g but in part 2 it goes c-f-c g-gsus4-g but then you look at it and csus4 is very simular to f so its very cool i likey

In the extended version of the film, Elwood parks the Bluesmobile in an electric substation that was used to power Chicago's elevated trains. In the documentary "Stories Behind the Making of the Blues Brothers", Dan Aykroyd (Elwood) stated that the Bluesmobile would get charged from the substation, which would explain how it would be able to do impressive stunts. In the original theatrical release, director John Landis had cut that scene to shorten the length of the film and said there was no need to explain the car's powers. To him, it was simply "a magic car" and of course, they were on a mission from God. A power station was visible in the background of the film's poster.
