And if so where? I was watching porn the other day and the background music was hauntingly beautiful. I want to find the source. I tried using Shazam but it didn’t recognize it. Would it be OK to ask on the forums so long as it was clear I was linking to porn and if the link is broken? ---

I would think this would be a Cafe Society thread. And yes, the link needs to be broken. You do need to make it clear that this is porn. Finally, did you check the IMDB? Sometimes they list porn films. Not always, I’m sure, and not thoroughly, but might steer you in the right direction. ---

Thanks for the prompt response! I will check with the IMDB first. ---

Since the OP’s problem seems to be solved, and the thread isn’t locked closed, can I use the opportunity to ask a similar question? I wanted to do some research in that I wanted to have a sampling of people, when given lyrics to national anthems (with the name of the country removed), say what country might have that anthem based on the words alone - not really a quiz as answers aren’t right or wrong per se (there is, of course, a right answer, but what I’m looking for is people’s opinions, kind of like an inkblot test with anthems) - I figured a smart erudite bunch like the SDMB would be great guinea pigs, err, test subjects. However, I don’t know if it’s against forum rules just to open up a post that basically is telling people “go to this site and take this test”, especially when you’re the one that created the test - I’ve seen similar threads closed and I want to know if this is kosher. (And, if it is, what forum should it go in? I can think of several that are good matches (MPSIMS, CS, GQ … ) ---

Awww, even though it’s not April 1 any more, and the mods are no longer letting their hair down, and this is the typical place to complain about TPTB, I thank all you nice eggs. Now, before I do, I’m wondering which forum should it go in? As I said, several (GQ, MPSMIS and CS just off the top of my head) all are good candidates. I hope you’ll be one of those that help out in my sampling as a result, Tuba! ---

Cafe Society seems to be the place for quizzes, so I would think there. And yeah, if I get a chance I’ll check it out. ---

Quizzes usually go in the Game Room, but since it’s a music quiz, Cafe Society might work better. ---

What Marley said – I obviously haven’t had enough coffee yet to kick-start my brain. My apologies. ---
