Need to know the name of a song.

Resolved!!!

I would appreciate it if anybody could tell me the name of this tune, which I played on an electric piano moments ago, and recorded it... I can't remember any lyrics from the song at all, in fact I'm not even sure that the tune is entirely right... but I know it was made at least before 1999/2000...

A complete stab in the dark - Walk of Life (Dire Straits song). Nanonic (talk) 03:58, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Very nicely performed! Could it be a song from Lion King? Edison (talk) 04:04, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Nanonic, that's the exact song... Thanks so much... Until It Sleeps ^{Wake me}   04:12, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

UNKNOWN LYRICS

Question Does anybody know this song? It's a rock song "Everybody, shake your thing, Everybody, shake your thing... "? I found these lyrics at lyricstime.com, but I can't find audio or any other lyrics source....

It all blows my mind Sea to sea, glory glory All stars-n-stripes forever Micro-vibe time Give me something to ease this pressure Let's all stand in line tonight

Everybody, shakey thing Everybody, shake your thing

Tell me what's on your mind Don't be afraid to free your face Ever get out of time You can find your space in the balance Honors not a crime All depends on where you come from Oh I'm out of line Don't listen to me —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sexystarr (talk • contribs) 06:19, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Looks like it's "Shake" by King's X. Bettia (bring on the trumpets!) 13:32, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

TV actor, Mexican

In the 50's sitcom Father Knows Best, there was a Mexican immigrant who was a neighborhood handyman, who adopted the American name, Frank.

Does anyone know the name of the actor?

You're thinking of Natividad Vacío, who was in a couple of episodes.[1] Vacio was a good friend of George Reeves and appeared in one episode of Adventures of Superman (TV series). Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots 23:37, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

In the film Hollywoodland, Vacio was played by Diego Fuentes, who appeared in a couple of scenes, including the first "live" scene of Ben Affleck's portrayal of Reeves, where the two of them are in a Hollywood restaurant scoping things out.

As yet, we do not have an article on Natividad Vacío, but a search does turn up a half-dozen or so articles where he is mentioned. IMDB has an entry for him: [2]. --Jayron32 01:52, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

I noticed that. There's probably enough material just in this section that someone could start an article. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots 02:19, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Which I have now started. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots 03:16, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
