Where Can I Get A Musical Door Bell That Plays More Than One Tune

In one of The Simpson's episodes, Marge is looking for a doorbell with a specific chime? What is the name?

The name of the song is 'Close to You' (or more specifically - (They Long to Be) Close to You). The song was done by the Carpenters in 1970 and the lyrics are:

Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

On the day that you were born the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair
Of golden starlight in your eyes of blue

That is why all the girls in town
(Girls in town)
Follow you
(Follow you)
All around
(All around)
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

On the day that you were born the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair
Of golden starlight in your eyes of blue

That is why all the girls in town
(Girls in town)
Follow you
(Follow you)
All around
(All around)
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

(Why? Close to you)
(Why? Close to you)
(Haa, close to you)
(Why? Close to you)

The song was written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David.and the Carpenter's version is the must famous version - which was a number one hit in 1970.

The episode of the Simpsons that featured the song as a door chime was "Maximum Homerdrive".

In that episode The family goes to a steakhouse and Homer gets involved with an Eating Contest where the two competitors try to eat a 16 pound steak. Homer loses the competition but after winning, the trucker (Red Barclay) dies. Homer decides to take his truck delivery in his place with Bart.

While they are gone Marge and Lisa go to Senor Ding-Dong's to by a musical doorbell.The joke is that while she is looking for the doorbell and tries to remember the tune, Marge horribly mangles the lyrics and we get what she says on the screen.

Hope that answer all you question.

Energy take classic tuning help!?

Just purchased a Denon DHT-591 receiver from Best buy, open box for $106. no remote or Audessy mic, etc. Have at home a set of energy take classic fronts, and center, as well as Energy take classic sub. With a pair of small, but heavy, pair of Paradigm cinema 70 V.2 rears.......hooked up to a Xbox one, and Newer 7000 series Samsung Led tv, and Fios quantum dvr box all via HDMI and one optical cord for xbox one........We used to have a problem with clipping/shutoff/protect mode in previous receivers with this same setup, undoubtedly my own fault with tuning. What would be the best tuning to put subwoofer physical adjustments, and what to dial in the rest of these speakers in regards to tuning on this receiver as to sound best and avoid the clipping! wish we had the Audessy to try it out.....Thanks to everyone, enjoy your weekends!

Musicians: What does it feel like to hear the world through a musician's ears?

Interesting question. I don't know what it's like for people who aren't musicians, or what all musicians experience but for me:I notice music whenever it is played-on TV as a soundtrack, in the mall, restaurants, on the elevator, in the car, movies. Everywhere. it doesn't matter if it is incidental or not-I notice it.When I hear sounds like a bell ringing or a horn or anything like that, I try to figure out what the pitch is. My dad, who taught me piano would ask me sometimes when we'd hear a noise or something, what key/pitch it was. Kind of odd, but just about every audible sound has a pitch-it's one of those things you come to realize when you study music.Off key singing REALLLY bothers me. I know that sounds terrible, but it really does.  It's like nails on a chalkboard. When I hear a tune anywhere, I try to figure out what key it's written in, and if near a piano, I'll try to reproduce it if it catches my interest.Can't stand loud noises. I wear earplugs on the train, and plug my ears when a motorcycle or an emergency vehicle passes. I haven't gone to to many live concerts for that reason.  I just cannot tolerate loud noise, it is very uncomfortable for me-but I see people who apparently aren't as sensitive to very loud noises. Pretty much every experience or memory of past events for me has a soundtrack. I hear music in my head all the time, even when there is no music anywhere. I'll hear music I am performing or learning, or stray bits of different tunes in my head a lot. I tend to identify people by voice- I can usually tell who you are on the phone without you having to identify yourself once I know you fairly well. When I'm watching a movie, I usually identify the actors by their voices, especially if they've aged or are wearing a costume.In short, there is always music. The only time I don't hear any music is when I'm asleep.

What makes Pachelbel's ‘Canon in D Major’ so special?

I used to play this so much at weddings we started calling it the “Taco bell” canon. And then we called it the “Taco hell”. And then the “Burrito from Purgatory”. Yes we were college students and we played a *lot* of weddings. It is the premier #1 walk-in music of all time.But the truth is, I love the piece and I always have. I loved it so much that I copied it out from the library when I first heard it in the early 1980’s. My mom, the ‘cellist, however… (the cello part is the boring part).This is one of those pieces that musicians don’t like (and often hate, with a passion), but which audiences love. Others include Glenn Miller “In the Mood” (members of the band thought for sure it was a turkey, ‘shows you what I know’ one said, after the fact), “Rimsky-Korsakov Scheherazade”, and Ravel’s “Bolero” (of which Ravel said: “I have only composed one masterpiece, and that was ‘Bolero’. Unfortunately, it is not music.”).I think that what makes it so special is that it is simple. Simple is hard to do well. All musicians love Bach, but Bach is NOT simple (not usually). With the Pachelbel the audience gets it immediately, and the variations by the violins (the original version is 3 violins, harpsichord, bass - and I played violin at the time, no wonder I fell in love with it) gradually increase in complexity (more notes per measure) and then it’s still not over, you get new variations that take it a new fun direction. It’s a wonder of simplicity and effortless variation. It has an elegance, charm and gracefulness that’s hard to match (for another example, try Les Baricades mistérieuses by François Couperin). It’s not in your face: “look at how amazing a composer I am!!”. It’s just a wonderful, great piece of music.Do not be ashamed to love this piece. It is a wonderful piece. This from a musician and a composer who has been playing it and listening to it for 35 years and still loves it.

Wireless doorbell rings randomly but in a different chime-why?

Somebody that lives near by may have a wireless doorbell that is on the same or really close frequency as your doorbell. When their doorbell is pushed your one rings. Because it is not your bell that is setting it off that is why it has a different ring.

Edit

The system must have the ding dong as a default tune. Also car key fobs can set it off so if like I said the frequency is similar but not quite the same it will ring on the default setting.

How does Paul McCartney write a song?

Paul McCartney writes songs like everybody else does: one leg at a time.Songs come in many ways, and one reason Paul is so prolific is that he takes advantage of all of them.The Beatles developed an encyclopedic knowledge of the music around them through listening, discussing, and imitating whatever they found, and by playing long cover sets in Hamburg.Some early songs were deliberate attempts to imitate Everly Brothers harmonies, Elvis, Little Richard, and others.Some are just based on common chord progressions - I’ve read more than once Paul saying you can write those ones where the bass just goes down the scale all day long.Sometimes a weird chord, the sound of an odd instrument, or an interesting turn of phrase or play on words will start you on a song that practically writes itself.Then there are the story songs where you imagine a character like Rocky Raccoon, and describe them working through some series of events.When in doubt, ol’ Paul is so damn good he can get by with just saying he woke up, got out of bed, combed his hair, had a cup of coffee, smoked a cigarette, and rode a bus.Or this, with a straight face:Someone's knockin' at the doorSomebody's ringin' the bellSomeone's knockin' at the doorSomebody's ringin' the bellDo me a favorOpen the door and let 'em inI’ll stop now - I’ve got blisters on me scrambled eggs.
