      Yeah. It's copyrighted. A guy called Mike Batt did a one minute silent piece as a quirky homage to Cage, and even credited him. Cages record copy sued, and it was settled out of court. Happened about ten years ago. I think someone even performed the two pieces side by side to demonstrate the "differences". Chortle..

    But wait! That's not all! It said it aditionally got another 404 error when trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request!
    The 404 error page didn't exist either, so the server had to improvise. Cool huh? Talk about non-existing things...

      1. You click a link inside the site that leads to the 404.
      2. An ErrorDocument handler was defined, but didn't exist either.

    • @nezZario
      @nezZario 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Right, what happened there is there was a custom error page that was suppose to show up, instead of the "default" "standard" one Apache provides. You went to a bad link and it wasn't found. Then, when trying to serve the "custom" 404 page, it couldn't find it either. So it had to fall-back on the provided "stock" 404 page. Cool huh? Welcome to system administration!

    When my sister and I were teenagers, sometimes we liked to hang out together very late on Friday nights after the parents had gone to bed. We'd have Much Music on in the background (sort of like Canadian MTV -- and yes, they used to play music videos too). Anyway, we were just having one of our Friday night hang-out sessions one night when all of a sudden this commercial came on. It was a Slinky, but it wasn't on stairs... it was just on a flat surface walking... and it was illuminated by what seemed to be a black light. There was this trippy music like someone playing a saw. Then all of a sudden it cuts away to that super old Slinky logo and the familiar jingle "EVERYONE LOVES A SLINKY!". The contrast was really jarring. Anyway, I looked at my sister and asked if I had hallucinated it. She assured me that if I had, she had hallucinated it right alongside me. We laughed... but you know, to this day we've never found another person who's seen the commercial and we've asked a LOT!

    I actually watched the entire 4:33 performance and i gotta say, it really added to the episode, the first time i watched this episode i did'nt really understand the idea or actually watch it in its entirety. know that i have i kinda understand why this piece of "music" is so powerfull. there's a lot of tension growing from the silence, and also the interuption of people talking in the background demonstrates the point that the accidentel sounds is what kinda creates the music. I guess that, after going into mental training, the difference from producing thought, to consciously triyng not to, makes this piece of music more relevant and interesting. thanks for the episode mate!

    If anyone is wondering they did find a copy of this song in 2016. Sadly it's not a rocksteady song (my favorite genre) but a lame 70s "hard rock" or what the UK would call "pub rock".

      +Silverbawxer Doesn't sound too far-fetched. There';s actually a similar theory for a "lost" Nintendo game titled "Yeah Yeah Beebiss I" that appeared alongside real game titles in ads in magazines for a mail order game service called "Play it Again". No such game has ever been proven to exist.
      For context, people in the NES fandom have been hunting for decades for the most fabled unreleased treasures of the system; by now a great deal of them have been found, and information has cropped up for most those that haven't. Yet nothing on Yeah Yeah Beebis I beyond the old magazine ads.

    I've dreamt about listening to songs that don't exist in real life. Once I dreamt I was listening to the radio, and they were playing a new Alanis Morissette song, and in the dream it sounded exactly like her voice and lyrically it was her style of music, but I'd never heard the song before in the real world; my brain had made it up in my sleep.
    Then more recently I dreamt that I was watching an unknown female singer recording and mixing a song in a studio. It was a 90s' or early 00s' style electro/synth song which I had in my head the following morning, and I still remember some of the lyrics today. But again, the song doesn't exist in real life.

    Here's a non-existent song that had to become real for financial reasons: "bend & flush" by the PORK DUKES! In the early days of punk (1977) a London music dealer was compiling a list of forthcoming singles for his catalog. As a gag he included the aforementioned Pork Dukes 45. There was no "bend & flush"- just a joke. Imagine his surprise when this fake record received 5000 advance orders!! Rather than pay back all that money he contacted the members of the Prog rock unit Gnindrolog (a band in the vain of early Genesis, Yes and mid 70s Floyd- NOWHERE near punk). He asked "guys, can you bail me out here?!" So Gnindrolog put their post Psych sound aside and recorded two incredibly nasty songs (the other is "throbbing gristle") simply to keep a friend out of debt.Both songs are on TH-cam- they are NOT tame by today's standards!)

    Is it at all possible that Ready n Steady was a copyright trap, to stop other music publishers copying the Billboard charts? Just like paper streets or paper towns on maps? I've not seen this proposed anywhere but it seems the most likely option, there's no way not a single recording of the song or person involved in making it could have turned up.

    • @eamon2please
      @eamon2please 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      What's a copyright trap? What's a paper street? What's a paper town? Help!

    • @conordrake2986
      @conordrake2986 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Basically a copyright trap is purposely fake entry that's designed to catch plagiarism, so eg a paper street on a map is a street that doesn't really exist but is put there so that if it turns up on another map, they'll know the creators of the second map have just copied the original map. Ready n Steady may have been put there to stop other music charts from simply plagiarising Billboard.

    • @eamon2please
      @eamon2please 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Conor Drake Interesting. But it seems unlikely that a) anyone would want to plagiarize a Billboard chart, b) anyone could get away with plagiarizing a Billboard chart, and c) Billboard would compromise the integrity of the Bubbling Under chart. Just my two cents.

    • @clwireg
      @clwireg 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      The co-writer of the song heard about the legacy Ready N Steady had and published the recording in 2016. Apparently it was never even released but some dude managed to get his hands on a copy of the recording and got it on the charts somehow. D.A. himself died in 2005.
