Name of song

What is the English song being played in the background here at 1:15:30?

It doesn't sound much like English. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 17:39, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

If it is, it doesn't seem to be anything well known. Alansplodge (talk) 11:30, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

I don't hear any English words there, and don't recognize what language it is in. Broadly, the song fits squarely in the Disco genre, and I would date it to the late 1970s or very early 1980s based on the style. --Jayron32 18:18, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

I suspect it's an ad hoc composition for this film by Laxmikant Shantaram Kudalkar and Pyarelal Ramprasad Sharma who wrote the main music and songs for this film (Karz) as well. They composed a number of western-music-based acts, including disco (and there is an entire corpus of Bollywood-disco tunes), but I wasn't able to find this particular one. ---Sluzzelin talk 20:31, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

It sounds like perfectly intelligible English to me - you can hear "music is my nature" at least. It's "Let It All Be Music" by Boney M, which was released in 1979, the year before Karz. Adam Bishop (talk) 11:29, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

Have to agree with Adam Bishop that it seemed to be clearly English to me. I was trying it on Soundhound and other such programs before anyone responded but didn't succeed. I then tried searching the words but didn't quite get the words right (I thought it was "music's in my nature") and gave up and didn't respond partly because well I didn't see anything useful to say. I agree the words can be a bit difficult to make out, but I find that with a lot of music this one is hardly unusual and indeed it's fairly common to read in an article about how a lot of people think the person said ABC in the song when they actually said APC.

Here's a recording.[1] The OP can decide. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 17:20, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

Once you know what it actually is, it's easier to hear it. Although the recording just by itself is barely intelligible. Overproduced. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 20:02, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

Nothing to decide, it's the right answer. It's okay to be wrong sometimes. It's okay not to respond if you don't know. Adam Bishop (talk)

Are you the OP? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 19:33, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

Stop being silly. It's "Let It All Be Music", as correctly identified by Adam. Just google the title and listen to the first YouTube clip. (And I even thought of Frank Farian's voice when listening to it, but was caught up in presumptuousness. Shame on me (though I didn't know this song, I do know at least 15 Boney M songs). ---Sluzzelin talk 22:58, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

Ah, I see, you already provided a link to the song. In that case, just stop being silly, I guess. ---Sluzzelin talk 23:03, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

Baseball Bugs, you are now on thin ice with the vague attempt at casting aspersions here. I'd say, coupled with the ongoing discussion about your repeated behavioural issues currently being debated at WT:RD (in the context of the numerous times your behavioural issues have been discussed there over the years), you need to take some time to just look more closely at what you're trying to achieve here and whether it matches Wikipedia's goals.

Aye-aye, Sir. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 02:26, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

Film with a woman's name

I can't believe I'm using this forum as a resource; but I'm really stumped. I watched a film within the last 2 years with a woman's (first) name as the title: I think it began with a "K". (Right? It's like going into a bookstore and saying: "I know the cover was red") The director wrote the film and used his own aunt as the main character - totally dysfunctional, substance addictive, black sheep of the family. I think it was on Netflix or Amazon Prime; but for the life of me I can't remember the name of it. The actress was actually missing an appendage which was written into the storyline. Thanks in advance; and again, sorry for using this reference desk. Maineartists (talk) 20:20, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

It must be Krisha, starring at least three of director Trey Edward Shults's family members, apart from his aunt Krisha Fairchild as Krisha, his mother Robyn Fairchild (as Robyn) and grandmother Billie Fairchild (as Grandma) play important parts too. ---Sluzzelin talk 22:12, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

And please don't apologise for using the reference desk. Most volunteers here enjoy helping out with this kind of question (looking for a painting, song, book, film, etc). Here we actually can be of assistance. ---Sluzzelin talk 22:19, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

Ah! Sluzzelin. That's it! Thank you! Spot on! Maineartists (talk) 22:43, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
