Lyrics

There's an alternative rock song with a sort of grand, anthemic chorus whose lyrics are something along the lines of, "I remember the day [something, something]... you watched me turn and walk away..." Does anyone know the name of the artist, and the song?

"Anna Begins" by Counting Crows from the album August and Everything After, maybe??? --Jayron32 00:50, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

It does sound like it might be the Counting Crows. That's a great album; I'll find the song and listen to it. Thank you! 75.87.121.119 (talk) 01:48, 3 October 2009 (UTC)MelancholyDanish

Olympics Questions

Since Rio de Janeiro won the right to host 2016 Summer Olympics. Became the 1st ever Brazilian and South American City to host an Olympics.

Rio de Janeiro and Brazil has me thinking will a city in a Africa Country follow their steps? If not what? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jessicaabruno (talk • contribs) 03:42, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Though predicting future hosting cities would be difficult, one thing is certain: See IOC and do a word search for "bribe". 173.103.205.125 (talk) 11:51, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

It's been known (or at least suspected) to happen. But now that the 2016 issue has been settled, when does the bidding begin for 2020? That might be the closest we could come to an answer to the OP question. →Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots 11:58, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

The 2020 Summer Olympics article has some information, though it is to the most part speculation and reports of various cities showing interest. It says Rabat and two South African cities are potential candidates. There is no time-frame mentioned, though. /Coffeeshivers (talk) 12:29, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

To get an idea of the time frame, I suggest looking at the table at the top of 2018_Winter_Olympics and adding two years. Of course, the dates will not be exactly the same but it indicates that the official deadline for applications, and thus the start of the selection process for the 2020 games, will be in the middle of 2011. /Coffeeshivers (talk) 12:35, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Since this is all speculation anyway, can we look forward to something like the section below, in the 2016 Opening Ceremonies? If so, that might explain the IOC's decision process. →Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots 16:12, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Brazil Carnival Queen

File:Carnavalbycarraspana.jpg Hi, who is this? I don't remember her name, but I remember that she is one of the Queens in Rio de Janeiro. Perhaps es:Viviane Araújo or pt:Viviane Castro ???. Thanks for searching. 78.55.202.74 (talk) 13:34, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm guessing Brazil has no indecent exposure laws Library Seraph (talk) 19:59, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Not exactly, but what she's wearing covers the extent of those laws. →Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots 00:02, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
