    Note: these results are not from the primary (high quality) database.

Urban Legends Reference Pages: Music (In the Air Tonight) The nature of the tragic incident also varies: it is most often a man standing idly by while someone else drowns (or nearly drowns), but other forms mention a deliberate drowning (i.e., murder), a rape (of Collins' wife), and Collins' catching his wife in an adulterous act. The time lapse between Collins' witnessing the incident and his writing the song varies: he wrote the song right away, he waited several years, or he wrote the song many years later (because he was a child when the incident took place). While Phil sings the song to him, the spotlight is on the man in the front row. www.snopes.com /music/songs/someair.htm

Stan by Eminem Songfacts In his last letter, Stan writes how he is like the drowning man in the Phil Collins song "In The Air Tonight." The rumor, which is not true, is that Collins saw a man watch another man drown, then sang the song to him at a concert to let him know he knew. The song ends with Eminem answering his letter and realizing Stan was the man in the news who drove off the bridge. The part of this song that was deemed anti-gay was the line where Stan writes, "We could have been together" and Eminem replies, "That's the kind of thing that makes me think we shouldn't meet each other." Elton John didn't have a problem with it. www.songfacts.com /detail.php?id=1065   (1940 words)

Double take - BCM - Spring 2005 She also incriminated recent affronts such as the "Tsunami Song," a music mix played on a New York radio station that mocked the drowning of "screaming chinks" in last year's disaster. Professor Song situates the voices in Asian American X within a contemporary "wave" of young Asian-American authors such as the novelists Chang-rae Lee (Native Speaker) and Susan Choi (The Foreign Student) and the filmmakers Justin Lin and Rea Tajiri. At one table, students considered "A Little Too Asian and Not Enough White." In high school, recalled Gina Kim '07, "If you hung around with too many white kids, Asians thought you were whitewashed." "But you had to be careful not to slip into an Asian clique, either," added Clara Namkoong '08. bcm.bc.edu /issues/spring_2005/ll_asianamerican.html   (1121 words)

Beverly Hills Gothic Mazursky here, aside from the thought of a latter-day vagabond trying to drown himself in a Beverly Hills swimming pool, was the instant and intuitive rapport between the bookseller and the man he rescues. Mazursky has found, in precisely the kind of alienation that the song describes, the makings of a California comedy that is generous and scathing in equal measure. "Down and Out in Beverly Hills," which opens today at the Ziegfeld and other theaters, takes its inspiration from Jean Renoir's "Boudu Saved From Drowning," which was based on a play by Rene Fauchois and told of a prosperous Parisian bookseller who rescues a suicidal bum from the Seine. partners.nytimes.com /library/arts/013186bette-midler.html   (779 words)

View Songs The song is NOT about Phil Collins witnessing an incident in which a man refused to come to the aid of a drowning swimmer.

Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Hounds Of Love - Kate Bush at Epinions.com The first, Hounds of Love, deals primarily with relationships of all sorts, while the second, The Ninth Wave, details a woman's journey to near-death as a result of drowning, and back again. I initially dismissed the title track, Hounds of Love as a silly pop song, due to its somewhat dated music and the man's voice in the beginning of the song crying "It's in the trees! While Mother Stands For Comfort was about a mother's unconditional love for her son, Cloudbusting, the final song in the "Hounds of Love" segment, concerns a boy's father who is being pursued by the government due to some weather-altering experiments he has conducted. www.epinions.com /content_130591723140   (1336 words)

KNAC.COM - Reviews - The Punisher Soundtrack Ben Moody -- in one of his many post-Evanescence projects, along with Jason Miller and Drowning Pool's Jason Gong Jones -- gives us "The End Has Come." A very dark moody *no pun intended* song of a man who loses everything and comes to the decision to take action by any means necessary. Leading off strong is the return of Drowning Pool, who has recruited a new frontman in the form of former tattoo artist Jason Gong Jones. I can say for a fact that all the songs on this CD is great, mediocre, or just plain shit. knac.com /article.asp?ArticleID=2978&StartTime=4/26/200412:39:55AM   (1348 words)

William Mulholland and the Rise of Los Angeles Then while he was actively planning and campaigning for the expansion of the city's water supply from the Colorado River, a dam that he had approved failed and killed over four hundred people, thus drowning his career in the wake of the worst man-made disaster in California's history. William Mulholland was a fine-featured, handsome man, who, although a shade under six feet, always gave the impression of being taller because of his straight-backed, commanding presence and the penetrating gaze of his blue eyes. In old age, Mulholland told certain questioners that he had no recollection of his mother, who had died when he was seven, but to his children he sometimes spoke of her, remembering that her wit, lively nature, and love of song had been an antidote to his father's grim seriousness. www.ucpress.edu /books/pages/8763/8763.ch01.html   (3530 words)

Biography for James Whale (I) [To Paul Robeson, upon hearing and seeing the "Ol' Man River" sequence in Whale's 1936 film "Show [* #Show-Boat#Boat"] "The *] spine-chilling effect of that one song was something I shall never forget." He began his contribution to the horror film genre with his move to Universal, directing Boris Karloff in Frankenstein (1931), notable for its sympathetic presentation of the monster, and The Invisible Man (1933) and Bride of Frankenstein (1935), both notable for the humor he injected into horror. As horror movies lost favor, he retreated to a more private and hedonistic life including painting and all-male pool parties, at one point separating from his longtime lover David Lewis, suffering several strokes, finally committing suicide by drowning in his pool (he was afraid of water). www.imdb.com /name/nm0001843/bio   (209 words)
