Q 778: The Pride of England

This is something that happened in the year 1985, rather, one of two HUGE events in the music world dedicated to a cause(mostly in Africa at that time). It featured all the biggies.

Call this __Z__.

Now, there came this band __X___ who played for some 20 odd minutes.
Some regard this little cameo to be their crowning glory, or at least that of their front man. They started off with one of their huge hits, __Y__ but there were rules pre-set. The event did not allow

• Sound-checks.
• Playback of previously recorded pieces.

Owing to these difficulties, __Y__ couldn't be played to completion. 

So, they mixed things up and played another hugely popular song, and incidentally, the name of which inspired a crazy "female" to kick start her musical career. 

In spite of the risks of messing up existing, the band went on to steal the show.

Q 776: Internet's Working.

The title of the question has nothing to do with the content of the question, first of all. It's just to say that my net connection is working.

Now that that question is clarified,

I'll get to the actual question.



_____X_____ is a show within a show that appears occasionally in episodes of ____Y____. They typically appear in the form of 15-60 second cartoons that are filled with over-the-top violence, usually initiated by ____ & _______; ...... is almost always the victor. A complex backstory for the show has been established. The episode 'The Day that Violence died(again, a parody on something else!)'  reveals it.


X Studios is run by Roger Meyers, Jr., the son of Roger Meyers, the cartoon's "creator". X Studios was bankrupted after it was sued by Lampwick for $800 billion, but was saved after receiving a large cash settlement from the government over its use of ________ The most direct and obvious influence(parody) is Z, an animated series which was also about a constant battle between a cat and a mouse, with the mouse usually victorious.

Id X, Y and Z.
Should be easy.

Question 745: Prescription drug..?

Claim to fame?

Question 732: End of the Whorld!

Parody on?

Question 716: And there's no reason for it to

Fans would like to believe that __X__ has gone on for the past 23 years.__X__ was given its title when A interviewed B for Q magazine in 1989 [ It actually is "Q magazine"]. The relevant part of the interview was:

A: 'Tell me about this live thing. You've gone straight into this ____ again — one ____ virtually straight into the next one.'

B: 'Oh, it's all the same ____.'

A: 'It's the ______X_______?'

B: 'Yeah, yeah'.

B about __X__, wrote:

"Don't be bewildered by the _______X________ chatter. There was a _________X__________ but it ended in '91 with the departure of guitarist G. E. Smith. That one's long gone but there have been many others since then. The Money Never Runs Out ____ (fall of '91) Southern Sympathizer ____ (early '92) Why Do You Look At Me So Strangely ____ (European '92) The One Sad Cry Of Pity ____ (Australia & West Coast American '92) Outburst Of Consciousness ____ ('92) Don't Let Your Deal Go Down ____ ('93) & others too many to mention each with their own character & design."

Tell me what __X__ is.
Identify B.

Question 708: Scandals all over

Yes, lion king.
No, that isn't the answer.

This scene was supposed to be controversial.
Whyyyy?

Question 690: Black Gold

Id X

Many cartoons from previous decades are routinely edited on international tv (and on some video and DVD collections) today. Usually, the only censorship deemed necessary is the cutting of the occasional perceived racist joke, instance of graphic violence, or scene of a character doing something that parents and watchdog groups fear children will try to imitate (such as smoking, drinking alcohol, ingesting pills and dangerous chemicals freely, playing with fire, and abusing animals).

For example, one classic cartoon gag, most prominent in Tom and Jerry cartoons, is the transformation of characters into a blackfaced caricature after an explosion or an automobile backfire. A script for an episode of Tom and Jerry entitled Mouse Cleaning (1948), had plans to turn Tom into a black-face caricature. Upon questioning by the maid, Tom answers “No, mam. I ain’t seen no cat aroun’ here…uh unh, ain’t no cat, no place, no how-no mam,” in stereotypical African American dialect.Such small amounts of objectionable material only require relatively minor cuts in the cartoon to make it palatable to censors, in spite of objections and sometimes boycotts by fans.

Now the main part..

However, in the case of the ____X______, racist themes are so essential and so completely pervade the cartoons that the copyright holders believe that no amount of selective editing could ever make them acceptable for distribution.

Of the cartoons included in the ___X____ animation historians and film scholars are quickest to defend the two directed by Clampett. Author Michelle Klein-Hass wrote the following:

“

. . . some even look at Clampett's Jazz cartoons and cry racism when Clampett was incredibly ahead of his time and was a friend to many of the greats of the LA jazz scene. All of the faces you see in Tin Pan Alley Cats and Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs are caricatures of real musicians he hung out with at the Central Avenue jazz and blues clubs of the '40s. He insisted that some of these musicians be in on the recording of the soundtracks for these two cartoons.

Question 659: Mission Emission?

__X___ arose in response to ___Y___ who taught that the position was the only proper way to engage in sexual intercourse. This explanation probably originated from Alfred Kinsey's Sexual Behavior in the Human Male through a confluence of misunderstandings and misinterpretations of historical documents. However, prior to Kinsey, at least in Western civilization, writing about sex and sex positions was largely forbidden and so the absence of references to that term may reflect that, not the absence of use of the phrase. Tuscans refer to the position as "The Angelic Position" while some Arabic-speaking groups call it "the manner of serpents."

__X__  known by several names, including "the matrimonial", "the Mama-Papa position", "the English-American position", and "the male superior position".

FOr more obvious reasons, __X__ can't be shown here
But
ID X & Y.

My way of Saying I'm Back.

Question 658: Deth note

"To everyone, to all my friends, I love you, I have to leave. "

__A__ banned that which the above line is connected with due to the belief that it sent out the wrong message.


__X__, believed that __A__ had misinterpreted it and with reference to the ban said, "You made __Y__ man of the year, and if anything he left an indelible last message that the easy way out is to blow your fucking head off."

Identify A, X and Y(this one if you want) and tell me what it was and why it was banned.

Question 555: Where Wil there be my Simple Superstar?

This currently iconic man came from very humble beginnings. Or atleast so his website says.
He was born somewhere in a remote village Tamil Nadu. Despite being from a family of modest means, his inclination towards music and entertainment helped him grow as an all round entertainer.Or atleast so his website says. Even as a child, he performed locally for his family and friends. Initially, he juggled small time entertainment with other more indigenous professions but after a point his need to entertain overtook everything else and he quit in order to pursue his musical destiny. Or atleast so his website says.

This musical sensation has incorporated many socially and topically relevant notions and concepts in his compilations and has received substantial public support. Or atleast so his website says.
Despite facing criticizm and awkward Borat references, this man is all set to leave his mark on the world. With several tours and launches and what not in his kitty, he's here to stay...and make a difference...and God knows what else.
Well some of it his website says.

Id the man.
Also, don't visit the website.

I was trying to find something I was more comfortable with that had more power to it, so I had to drop the voice down.... People will say to me, "Boy, I'm glad they replaced the guy that was there that first season"
