Song to identify (moved from Humanities desk)

I'm having trouble identifying a song, likely due to my lack of clues. It's sung in English, male lead singer (voice not particularly high nor deep), with backing vocals of multiple female (possibly female and male) voices. The refrain is him singing "But it's alright" and the ladies replying with "oh no" or "whoah no" (or similar). The song is at least 25 years old and was likely on mainstream radio quite a bit for me to have still remembered it. There's a ton of possibilities on It's Alright, but the only one with a noted date of the right vintage (not sung by Dylan, whom I'd remember) is It's All Right by The Impressions and it's not really similar in any way to that; this had a driving beat to it, probably electric guitars. Also, there's of course no guarantee that the title of the piece was anything like it's alright. It's not the song by Huey Lewis either. I'm almost positive it was used in an anti-drug film that was shown around high schools back in the 80s. I'm from Ontario, but I don't have any reason to think it wasn't a standard radio song elsewhere in Canada or the rest of North America. Googling is not helping, so I'm stuck with a three second earworm here... any help? Matt Deres (talk) 00:14, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Elvis is one possibility. I can think of several songs with the line "It's all right": "Garden Party" by Rick Nelson; "End of the Line" by the Traveling Wilburys; "Jumpin' Jack Flash" by the Stones, "Well All Right" by Buddy Holly, etc. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 00:37, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

It's not The King, nor the Stones, nor the Wilburys. It's not old enough sounding for Nelson or Holly. I'm thinking this is more like straightforward 1970s/80s rock. Matt Deres (talk) 03:45, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Nope. When it first started up, I thought we might have had a winner, but no dice. I appreciate the effort, though. Matt Deres (talk) 21:20, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Help me find this X-Files episode: Mulder wakes up 50 times after he's blown up in a bank heist.

Everytime he's killed when the bank robber blows himself up when the SWAT team is about to storm in, Mulder wakes up to the same leaking waterbed, to a phone call by his landlord about said leak.

Link that episode, please.

Also, what is that theory / phenomenon called where someone who dies "before their time" wakes up the same day and keeps repeating this death-induced loop until they somehow dodge the bullet and/or manage to prevent the tragedy from occurring to them?

Moreover, do any soldiers deployed to current or past theaters of war, report this kind of deja-vu where they feel the same as Mulder: As if they woke up the same day numerous times after getting shot or blown up by the enemy, until they figured out how to avoid that fate? There MUST be articles about this kind of paranormal mental event. --70.179.161.230 (talk) 06:14, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

I don't know if there is a name for it (since it is something that happens in fiction but probably not in real life), but the X-Files episode is called "Monday". Adam Bishop (talk) 10:37, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Nancy Wake

Did Nancy Wake write an autobiography detailing her service in World War 2? If so, is it currently available? If not, then what other biographical sources about her would you recommend? The part that I'm interested in most of all is her service in the war. Thanks in advance! 24.23.196.85 (talk) 06:32, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Uuh, in the article you have linked above, it states "In 1985, Wake published her autobiography, The White Mouse. The book became a bestseller and has been reprinted many times." This confirms it includes the war years. It does appear to be out of print, however. Clarityfiend (talk) 10:09, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks! So, I'll just have to start looking in used-book stores and hope I find it -- or, if I can't, then I'll have to settle for getting a book about her by someone else. Still, this is a lot better than nothing. 24.23.196.85 (talk) 00:11, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

If you don't need to own a copy, check with your local library. If there isn't a copy there, Interlibrary loan should get you one pretty quickly. 38.111.64.107 (talk) 12:06, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

Label Industrial Rock/Metal

Hi, I am searching for a strong European independent label which is well-known for good industrial rock, dark ambient, metal. Could someone help me out? Thank you very much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.247.117.226 (talk) 10:42, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia has a List of industrial metal bands, you could go through those bands and find which labels produce their albums. --Jayron32 15:16, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

You could take a look at Cold Spring. They do a lot of interesting stuff in that area. --Michig (talk) 22:11, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks! I have seen it already on the list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.247.117.220 (talk) 11:47, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

Sirius Satellite Radio Bangladeshi radio stations

How do I find Bangladeshi radio stations that are available on Sirius Satellite Radio?--Donmust90 (talk) 17:26, 20 March 2013 (UTC)Donmust90 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Donmust90 (talk • contribs) 17:25, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

I don't know that there are any. List of Sirius Satellite Radio stations does not show any. --Jayron32 20:42, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
