The very many questions-not-worth-their-own-thread question thread XXIX

[Hygro]

do you have a link to the song or episode?

Alright, I realize this is a longshot, since I only have such a vague description of the song I'm trying to identify, but I'm going to give it a go anyways:

There is a song, I'm pretty sure it's an oldie, most likely from the late 60s or early 70s, it sounds like motown and is almost certainly sung by a black vocalist. The only part of the song I'm familiar with is the beginning, with a slow "na na na na na na, na na na na na na." It sounds kind of like a love song. It is NOT either "Land of 1000 Dances" or "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye".

Any ideas? I heard the song in the first season of "Everybody Hates Chris" and my inability to identify it is driving me nuts.

Was shazam able to help?

It's one of my favorite apps.

Actually it was my obsessive googling. I found a thread on yahoo answers where someone was trying to identify the same song as me:

Oh well it's still a great app.

And btw, he's definitely singing 'la la la' not 'na na na' .

What should I use to protect/preserve the wood of old gun-stocks?

right interested, left disinterested

if you download the app, it will remind you on your very very first attempt to swipe left with like "swiping left means disinterested. Are you sure?" so you can't mess up

Wax?

How old are we talking? Wood oil/varnish is usual, but you may want to be cautious about messing with anything of serious antique or historical value. Normally you'd sand it first to get rid of dents, then brush it with the solution of choice. You can normally get tins of specialist stock finisher in shooting shops.

They aren't anything special or worth much. Like 80-100 years old and not of notable styles. .22s and small bore shotgun. I was just thinking, they've been in storage so long that I don't want the wood to go bad. They're stored in a dry place, and taken out and cleaned/oiled once in a while. But nothing has been done with the wood, and I don't know that that would be bad for it over time. None have been fired in better than 25 years.
