Was Meryl Streep's Oscar Acceptance Speech Bleeped?

And if so, what did she say? I googled and only came up with a bleeping of her Golden Globe speech.Chief41074 (talk) 21:21, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

No, it was not Streep. Whatever source you originally had may have been confused with her Golden Golden speech. The person who was actually bleeped was T. J. Martin, co-director of Undefeated, who said that winning Best Documentary Feature was "[bleep]-ing awesome". Zzyzx11 (talk) 09:35, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

Amusingly enough, Jean Dujardin's speech was not bleeped, even though he used the French version of the f-word. The Mark of the Beast (talk) 19:37, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

For a guy who was winning an award for a performance in which he was silent, it would have been the supreme irony for him to have been bleeped at the awards ceremony. -- Jack of Oz ^{[your turn]} 02:44, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Perhaps, instead of bleeping, they should replace the image by a screen with a bar of soap on it, surrounded by a fancy frame. :-) StuRat (talk) 03:02, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

"B-b-b-b-bell" song

I've heard several times in the radio a song but I don't know and can't find the name. I remember a little bit of the lyrics. Something like "So fast it's bell" or something of the sort. The song repeats several times "B-b-b-b-bell". 190.31.177.239 (talk) 15:01, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Which radio station? Which country? Male or female singer? Mingmingla (talk) 17:16, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Maybe Bad to the Bone? It could sound a bit like "bell"... Staecker (talk) 18:26, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

"You can ring my bellllllllll, ring my bell" Very old song (70's maybe?) Sometimes still played on the radio. I've been told it was a hippie sort of drug reference but I don't get it. This song is on the first version of Wii Dance.
