do someone know which song song is being played on "Rejected Late Night Directors" from 6/14/2002?

I had no success with AHA or shazam.

:One possibility is that the song (see the segment beginning at 6:38 in the clip) was a parody written specifically for the skit by the show's in-house band, The Max Weinberg 7.

:It's from "Paani Re Paani", composed by Laxmikant–Pyarelal, lyrics by Rajkavi Inderjeet Singh Tulsi, performed by Mukesh and Lata Mangeshkar. See also Shor. ---Sluzzelin talk 21:08, 14 June 2025 (UTC)

This is frightfully little to go on, but you never know! I saw a bit of a movie a long time ago - probably late 1980s, maybe early 90s, though the film could have been older. The only scene I recall takes place in some kind post-apocalyptic future. Raiders are terrorizing some family and one of the nasty things they do is to dangle someone (or maybe a pet?) into a water well by way of barbed wire. A child(?) is then forced to try holding the wire to prevent the person/pet from drowning/falling, which then obviously tears their hands up horribly. Like, I said - not much, but I'm curious what this could have been. Any suggestions? Matt Deres (talk) 22:09, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

::Huh. I wasn't expecting it to be a JCVD flick, but that plot summary sure lines up well. Our article suggests it's a terrible movie, but maybe I can stomach it long enough to see if anything else jogs my memory. Thanks very much! Matt Deres (talk) 12:27, 13 June 2025 (UTC)

:Placing my assumption of good faith on overdrive, the proffered rendition might fit the opening of Mars, the Bringer of War from Gustav Holst's The Planet Suite – which however is not a 'song' by most definitions. {The poster formerly knowna s 87.81.230.195} 94.1.137.14 (talk) 12:47, 15 June 2025 (UTC)

In that song, there's one verse sung by a woman in a fancy outfit with a top hat. She sings it in kind of a cartoonish voice, what I might call "Betty Boop style" or "flapper style". I was just wondering if there's a more formal name for that style of singing? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 19:20, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

:I don't think it's a recognised singing style as such (though I could be wrong). It's somewhat nasalized, and in keeping with the speech of the character throughout as performed by Nell Campbell, who is Australian, in both the original play and subsequent film, and which to me (a Brit) sounds like a (bad?) Brooklyn accent perhaps parodying Barbra Streisand in the same way that Madeline Kahn (around the same time) parodied Marlene Dietrich in Blazing Saddles. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 94.6.41.216 (talk) 01:23, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

Should it be Skillsville with a lowercase V or SkillsVille with a capital V? – MrPersonHumanGuy (talk) 17:46, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

:Seems official websites prefer Skillsville ([https://www.pbs.org/parents/shows/skillsville PBS], [https://sphere-media.com/en/animations/skillsville/ Sphere Media], [https://www.tpt.org/skillsville/ TPT]); SkillsVille is a stylization for the logo, like "W{{sc|ikipedi}}A" in ours. -insert valid name here- (talk) 18:28, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

:Everybody seems to use lowercase, including creator and executive producer Carol-Lynn Parente who complains here [https://www.linkedin.com/posts/carol-lynnparente_its-deeply-disappointing-that-our-entire-activity-7325859749403529216-xwor on LinkedIn "our entire Skillsville team was let go mid-project"]. The logo is evidently in CamelCase but when I search I don't find anyone other than us writing it that way. (Speaking of LinkedIn, their logo does not use camel case, but they style the name that way in writing. So the opposite way round from Skillsville.)  Card Zero  (talk) 18:29, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

:: For a long time I'd read their capital I as a lower case ell, and try to pronounce it accordingly. When I tired of this uneuphonious utterance I allowed myself to consider the alternative.
