Fred Durst & Limp Bizkit

Can anyone tell me what song Fred did as a solo, from memory it was quite a slow song? around 2000-1? thanks

Just found it on you tube, outside was the name —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.242.144.19 (talk) 02:36, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

That's actually Staind; the original release was a live version with Fred Durst providing helpful and not at all useless or annoying noises. Adam Bishop (talk) 05:17, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

I remember such a song. Link the 'tube video and I may be able to remember the name :) User:Krator (t c) 21:33, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

He got the name already, Outside. Adam Bishop (talk) 07:12, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Smokie Norful song with birds singing

Today I heard a Smokie Norful song with a title like "For All the Lord Has Done" or "For What the Lord Did". It seems to have the word "ding-a-ling" in it, and contains a reference to birds singing. What song is this? I can't find it anywhere online, even though I looked up all of Norful's albums on Amazon and googled for

"smokie norful" bird singing

as well as

"smokie norful" birds sing

and other variations. Wiwaxia (talk) 07:21, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Have you been able to make out any more of the lyrics since you asked this same question back on the 7th of this month? The only thing even remotely close that I've been able to find is a song called "The Least I Can Do". It doesn't have "ding-a-ling" in it but it does use the verb "to do" in the title....

Unfortunately, I haven't heard it since. I'll check out "The Least I Can Do". Wiwaxia (talk) 04:32, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Can't fight this feelin'

Anybody remember Fleetwood Mac doing a very upbeat version? It's not on the album, & I haven't heard it in...yikes, is it that long? To clarify, where can I find it? Also, anybody remember a track (something I used to hear every Xmas) called "Holly" (I think)? ("You can deck the halls with Holly"/"I think I'm woman enough to fill your life") To clarify, what's it called & who by? Thanx! Trekphiler (talk) 20:27, 16 March & 05:19, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Looking for a group

So, I was recently in a production of The Country Wife, a restoration comedy, and for music in scene shifts they got classical versions of pop songs (Hey Ya, My Humps, and a few others). I remember being told that the group was made of students from Juliard and that they were black, but it's been a few weeks (I keep forgetting to ask) so that might be incorrect. If anyone knows the name of the group I could search for more information - the music was really awesome. Lots of violin, I think cello? Kuronue | Talk 23:05, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

"Hey Ya" is originally by Outkast and "My Humps" is by Black Eyed Peas. Or did you want to know the name of the group who reinterpreted the music? There is also The String Quartet Tribute, which is a series of records with string quartet tributes to various bands or albums, but I don't see either Outkast or Black Eyed Peas on the list. − Twas Now ( talk • contribs • e-mail ) 18:02, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Right, I wanted to know the group that covered them classically. Kuronue | Talk 22:55, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
