editsomething 's law
editWhat was the name of a British tv series which based on the real life of a lawyer and it started like 's Law and it used to be on PBS every Saturday night? — Preceding unsigned comment added by70.31.17.71 (talk) 02:03, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
Yes, Garrow's Law. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by70.53.230.128 (talk) 14:42, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

Some more mystery songs (oh boy)
editNo preface here, just some cool songs I want to know:
- I heard some metal song in some game the other day that had a chorus "all together now, one two three" and sounded like it was about the Holocaust.
- There's some song that sounds like Motorhead but not that I'm familiar with, that goes like "don't call your mother/don't call your priest", and I keep hearing it in a video game but I don't know what it's called.
- A techno song with minimal instrumentation and an ethereal background voice, with the only real words being audio clips that I think are from "The Brave Little Toaster" or something like that
- And one very odd song that sounded like a fusion between rockabilly and metal, that opened with the line "four score and seven beers ago"
I think some of these were in Rock Band, but I didn't catch the names. 75.73.226.36 (talk) 02:46, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
- Sheesh. I mean, really. Let us know which of those you still have trouble with after you google them, doing which would have tajen less time than posting this here. μηδείς (talk) 04:07, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
- I can't trust Google with this...be nice :(. I was hoping someone would know but how can I tell just by a few things...75.73.226.36 (talk) —Precedingundated comment added 04:11, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
- I'll reiterate what Medeis has told you to do. I copy pasted your exact lyrics from the two where you provided them (the mother/priest one and the seven beers one) and Google gives clear and unambiguous answers for the likely songs. Check those, and if it isn't those, come back with different information. Furthermore, when you say "in some game" means you've heard the song in a video game. Complete soundtrack listing of songs contained with in video games are all over the internet: if you type the name of the game into Google along with the word "soundtrack", you should get many sources which give a list of songs. You can listen to these songs and figure out which one you heard. Those procedures are exactly what I would do if I were to try to answer this question for you. Since they are so easy to do, you can do them yourself without having to tell us the name of the video games for us to search for you. --Jayron32 05:34, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
- Figured one out: the second one is a Ween song (surprisingly). I'll go and find the games again to make sure and figure out the first and fourth. The third one had no lyrics and hence I'd still like to know what it is...75.73.226.36 (talk) 11:50, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
