Talk:Sandstorm (instrumental)

Reason for my change

edit

I changed techno to electronic dance music. Trance is not a subgenre of techno, it is seperate from both house and techno(although it does have techno influences). It actually isnt really a subgenre of anything. I am actually going to simply change it to "It is from the genre of trance." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Killanator (talkcontribs) 23:17, 23 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Omnibus

edit

Can anyone give a reference to teh song stealing where Darude stole this beat form the song Omnibus by Laut Sprecher? I've heard that it was stolen, and it's pretty obvious given that they sound the same and have the exact same beat. -OttOO —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.17.205.3 (talk) 03:35, 18 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Omnibus by Laut Sprecher was made in 2001, Sandstorm by Darude was done in 1999. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.134.93.67 (talk) 18:54, 23 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

There's been a large addition to this section recently, and I'm afraid that it will continue to grow as editors will mention every single team or event that the song has been used for.

Oppose Sandstorm (composition) or Sandstorm (instrumental) per WP:SONGDAB. Dohn joe, songs are also compositions so your counter-proposal does not avoid the need for (Darude ). Likewise the extensive edits to the article and replacement of "song" by "composition" by Tbhotch also do not change the fact that (Darude ) is still required by WP:SONGDAB. In ictu oculi (talk) 16:09, 15 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
You and Barrel wanted evidence, now there is evidence. You and Barrel wanted it reflected in the article, now it is reflected in the article.[1][2] What do you want then? You are saying this article is about a song. A "song" is a musical composition "for voice performed by singing or alongside musical instruments." There aren't vocals being perfomed here. Now, for real, what do you want? Me, asking you for permission to edit "extensively" pages? If anything is needed here is evidence "Sandstorm" features vocals. Also WP:SONGDAB still saying that "When a track is not strictly a song (in other words a composition without lyrics, or an instrumental that is not a cover of a song), disambiguation should be done using '(composition)' or '(instrumental)'." What you are saying, basically, is that WP:SONGDAB is wrong when I apply its current wording, but it is correct when you use it.
Also, you, by yourself with no consensus added this phrase to the page, despite the fact it begins with "Any substantive edit to this page should reflect consensus." So @In ictu oculi:, where it is the consensus? I see none. © Tbhotch (en-2.5). 02:25, 17 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

Two things, you are ignoring the whole argument I gave you and only replying ambiguously "That's right" (what's right? The fact you and Barrel wanted evidence and now there is but you aren't satisfied with it; I should ask you for permission to edit articles; that I can't use WP:SONGDAB but you can; that you are violating Template:Guideline requirements for guideline page editions; or all of them are "right"?) You can't "support"/"oppose" other users's arguments selectively--in other words, to say I or Dohn joe are wrong supporting to move it to "composition" per SONGDAB, but you are right to support a move to "Darule song" per SONGDAB. This is not an selective election, you are saying "I support the first part of WP:SONGDAB, but not the second, it is wrong". If SONGDAB allows this page to be moved to "(composition)" or "(instrumental)", it is correct to move it to "(composition)" or "(instrumental)" as long as the guide is reworded. Your addition of this phrase conveniently because of and for this RM, seems more than a "poor writing" situation and the closing user should take it in consideration in the final result, and other users should take note of it. © Tbhotch (en-2.5). 02:56, 17 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
I mean yes that's right I started a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (music)#When (song) and (instrumental) both exist and added a proposed line with tag [under discussion] underdiscussion-inline Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (music)#When (song) and (instrumental) both exist which is an invitation to discuss.

There it is a clear consensus the page is to be moved, what it is not clear is where it is to be moved. @Binksternet: and @Zacwill16: said "Support", despite the fact this is not a votation to say "aye/no". @BarrelProof: said "per WP:SONGDAB", when SONGDAB states tracks that are not technically songs are not to be labelled as "songs". And Dohn joe supports it to be moved to Sandstorm (composition) or Sandstorm (instrumental), while I support Sandstorm (Darude composition) or Sandstorm (composition). It is obvious it will be moved per WP:SONGDAB, the place it will be moved is not clear yet because WP:SONGDAB's writing is not clear yet. © Tbhotch (en-2.5). 03:23, 17 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

Right now on the internet, especially on sites like Youtube and 9gag, this song is used as a joke especially when one asks for the title of a song used in a video. The reason why should probably stem from the fact that the song itself sounds generic and ambiguous to people. How the joke works is if a user asks for a name of a particular song used in a video for the purpose of finding it online, when another user, much of the time a internet troll, replies "Darude - Sandstorm". At the time of this writing, this joke is a common sight on the internet, and I'm surprised that there's no information whatsoever on this page about this phenomenon. Some other variations on this joke include writing: "Sarude - Dandstorm" in reference to the fact that the joke is overused, and some people have made posts or videos depicting a theme known as "The rude sandstorm" referencing the fact that "Darude - Sandstorm" sounds like "the rude sandstorm" The reason I didn't edit this page is because I don't have a reliable or specific source to base my edit off of, but Darude - Sandstorm is indeed a real thing as I personally use the internet on a daily and regular basis and see this thing getting thrown around a lot. So I ask that someone see this note and write a section about this phenomenon and link their written content to a reliable source or sources.

Popularity of Sandstorm

edit

Binksternet added that the song's online visibility "increased sharply" after after the toy-trumpet video was uploaded, linking the gawker source as citation. This, however, is an uncited fact at best (the gawker source states that the toy-trumpet video "kicked off" the progress of Sandstorm becoming a meme, but does not say anywhere that it caused its online visibility to increase at all, let alone sharply) and plain out wrong at worst (the google trends source I have linked proves that there was little-to-no increase in popularity following the toy-trumpet video in 2010. It does show, however, the song doubling its popularity after Wyllie's League of Legends video). Haha01haha01 (talk) 21:20, 27 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

The Google trends source is disallowed original research. Can't use it. Binksternet (talk) 03:18, 28 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
Is it, really? Lets go through the article you just linked to.
The phrase "original research" (OR) is used on Wikipedia to refer to material—such as facts, allegations, and ideas—for which no reliable, published sources exist
So if I have at least one "reliable, published source", as defined in the linked article (Wikipedia:Verifiability), my claim is not original research.
In Wikipedia, verifiability means that people reading and editing the encyclopedia can check that the information comes from a reliable source. Wikipedia does not publish original research. Its content is determined by previously published information rather than the beliefs or experiences of its editors
Is the information "previously published"? Yes it is, as "Google Trends" is a publication of Google Inc., where they publish statistics they have collected on their search engine.
Is the information my personal belief? Nope.
Is the information my personal experience? Nope.
Can it be checked that "the information comes from a reliable source"? By clicking on the link, you can see the information comes from Google Inc. Now we shall base the fact that Google Inc. is a "reliable source", as defined by the linked article, Wikipedia:Verifiability#What_counts_as_a_reliable_source.
the type of the work (some examples include a document, an article, or a book) - I think a list of published statistics can count as a "document" for this specific need;
the creator of the work (for example, the writer) - The work has been created by Google Inc.; note that I (the editor) is not the creator of the work, as I have not "created" the work but merely caused it's automated creation by Google Inc.'s systems. Also, and although I am not an expert in US law or law in general in any way, shape or form, I do believe that I would not hold up as the "creator" of this work as US copyright laws define the term - if you have a certified US copyright law expert who says otherwise, then please let me know;
the publisher of the work (for example, Oxford University Press). - which is Google Inc.
Base articles on reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy - If you have an issue with the reputation, reliability, or accuracy of the source, you may consult the Wikipedia articles about Google Inc. and Google Trends, and their respective citations and sources; If you still disagree that the source was "published" by a third-party, and that I am not "publishing" it right now, then lets check the definition of "publish", from the very same Wikipedia guidelines article:
Source material must have been published, the definition of which for our purposes is "made available to the public in some form". - Google Trends have been "made available to the public", and so has this specific statistic, as it is information that is freely and easily accessible by going into Google Trends (a publicly available web site) and typing the keyword that you are interested in, which in our case ("darude sandstorm") is not in any way a secret or something that the average person could not have known or accessed prior to me "revealing" it here (and thus, I have not "made [it] available to the public" as defined in WP:Verifiability, but rather Google Inc. did). Additionally, this specific link and statistic has been previously "made avilable to the public in some form" already by the Know Your Meme article on the relevant subject, which, albeit constituting copyright infringement and thus not being a legitimate source for the content of the article, can still be used content-less as proof for this matter. Haha01haha01 (talk) 22:22, 4 February 2015 (UTC)Reply
That's a novel interpretation. You might want to ask at WP:RSN whether a Google trend search results page is considered a reliable source. Binksternet (talk) 14:09, 5 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

Sandstorm (Darude composition)Sandstorm (Darude song) – "Composition" is used for classical music. "Sandstorm" is part of pop culture and electronic dance music, in which song creators are called producers not composers. The song is also widely known as an internet meme, which doesn't sound good as "a composition". Whether it has vocals or not, doesn't decide that it's a composition. Most EDM songs these days don't use vocals, instead they use vocal chops or just melodies. — Zawl 14:04, 24 September 2017 (UTC)--Relisting.Zawl 09:16, 2 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

  • Support exactly as Zawl says. In ictu oculi (talk) 15:51, 24 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
  • Support move to Sandstorm (instrumental) to sidestep the issues from previous RMs. Would also support the proposed title.  ONR  (talk)  22:05, 24 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose because it's not a song. Composition is a generic term meaning a creative musical work, song is a narrower term meaning one with a vocal section. Darude is surely registered as the composer of this work with a collection society such as MCPS-PRS and thus gets royalties for it, and also for any hypothetical cover versions of the composition that are recorded and performed, and either his next of kin or whatever music industry corporation he sold his soul to will continue to own the copyright for his composition until 70 years after the death of the composer. I disagree with the premise that "composition" is only used for classical music and so do WP:SONGDAB, our article musical composition and the OED to name a few.
Also, while composition and production have a lot more overlap in EDM than in other genres and it's true that "composer" isn't a word you hear a lot, they are still separate parts of the creative process. Composition means putting together the musical elements of the work and production means realising it as a completed product (through arranging, mixing etc.) Unlike in other pop music styles, most electronic music producers do them both and do them more or less simultaneously, but it isn't necessarily always the case. I also oppose "Sandstorm (Instrumental)" because that qualifier usually implies an instrumental version complementing a vocal mix of the same track on the release.
I agree that (composition) as a dab label sounds a little overly formal but my preference is for the current title. – filelakeshoe (t / c) 08:52, 25 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
Majority of sources[6][7][8][9][10][11][12] call it a song, and Google search-term trend shows higher count for "song" than "composition". A song doesn't need to have vocals, as defined by Merriam-Webster, a song is a poetical composition. Sandstorm (song) has all of the characteristics stated at the article titles policy. It is more recognizable and natural. Readers are likely to search for "Sandstorm song" than "Sandstorm composition" as evidenced in the Google link above. Editors would naturally use to link to the article from other articles. As most sound recording articles on WP has the song disambiguator, the title is consistent with the pattern of similar articles' titles. — Zawl 09:31, 25 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
"A song is a poetical composition" - exactly, "poetical" means among other things that it is in some way recitable using linguistic elements, of which there are none in this track. I hear your point about "song" being commonly used to refer to any popular music track by music journalists, but my point of view on these kinds of RMs is that we are an encyclopedia and we are allowed to be a bit technical and precise at times. If we are going to use "song" as a generic word for a piece of popular (or folk?) music regardless of whether it has vocals or not then we should start by rewriting the article song which quite clearly defines a song as a piece of music with a vocal section. – filelakeshoe (t / c) 10:02, 25 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose "song", mostly because of filelakeshoe's comments, and the Merriam-Webster link provided by the requester ("the act or art of *singing*"; "*poetical* composition"; "a short musical composition of words *and* music"). In order to be a song it has to be sung, otherwise it is just music (the definition of an instrumental: "played on an instrument *rather than* sung"). Yeah, this track is commonly called a "song", that happens a lot because people use the word "song" for any kind of musical piece that can be listened to, even if you Google search "Beethoven songs" you will see what I mean. If the problem is the word "composition", then change it to Sandstorm (Darude instrumental) (or simply Sandstorm (instrumental) if it is not conflicting with Sandstorm (Cast song)). But changing it to "song" will make us part of the problem of incorrectly calling instrumentals "songs". © Tbhotch (en-2.5). 05:54, 28 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
  • "The definition of song is debatable", how so? The only place to debate a dictionary definition is with the dictionary itself. And you were the one that brought dictionaries to the discussion. Now you change to WP:TITLE, that page is for titles, not disambiguation. And lastly, the most likely and obvious search term is not "Sandstorm (Darude song)", it is "Darude - Sandstorm",[13] as the meme. © Tbhotch (en-2.5). 17:57, 28 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose - it should simply be Sandstorm (Darude) in the same way that other compositions (orchestral and the like) are handled. See works linked from Symphony No. 1 for example - they use simply [[title (composer name)]]. Yes, I really did just speak about Darude in the same context as Hadyn, Mozart, Beethoven, etc. What have I become?.-- Netoholic @ 19:34, 4 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
    I agree with this too, for the record, this would be a nice compromise. In pop music the same title with "Song"/"composition" and "album"/"single" sometimes need to be disambiguated, I guess that's why we use them, but we could restrict these dab labels to cases where it's necessary. And this should probably be taken to the relevant project pages to suggest a change for naming conventions. – filelakeshoe (t / c) 20:00, 4 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

Requested move 22 January 2018

edit
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Moved. There's consensus for move to the new name. I take into account the other suggestion by Netoholic but that point has been slightly weakened and generally no opposition to the first suggested name.

Sandstorm (Darude composition)Sandstorm (Darude instrumental) – Now, I know this is the fourth page move request; but I believe this is fair. As discussed before, "composition" mostly refers to classical music and is not fitting for the topic of this article, and as concluded, neither is "song". However, there is no denial of "Sandstorm" being an instrumental (non-vocal) track, and "instrumental" is a correct alternative dab per WP:SONGDAB, (examples: Burnin' (instrumental), Albatross (instrumental)) so this would satisfy for a title.

The first Finnish music video shown on MTV in the US?

edit

The article says that "Sandstorm" was the first Finnish music video shown on MTV in the US. Sure, in the source link, the director of the video says that it was. However, I disagree with that piece of information. According to this thesis [1], Hanoi Rocks' video of "Up Around the Bend" (released in 1984) was the first one.
