Talk:Sandstorm (instrumental)

message: I changed techno to electronic dance music. Trance is not a subgenre of techno, it is seperate from both house and techno(although it does have techno influences). It actually isnt really a subgenre of anything. I am actually going to simply change it to "It is from the genre of trance." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Killanator (talk • contribs) 23:17, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

message: Can anyone give a reference to teh song stealing where Darude stole this beat form the song Omnibus by Laut Sprecher? I've heard that it was stolen, and it's pretty obvious given that they sound the same and have the exact same beat. -OttOO  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.17.205.3 (talk) 03:35, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

message: There's been a large addition to this section recently, and I'm afraid that it will continue to grow as editors will mention every single team or event that the song has been used for. No sources were added with the new material and there may not be any available at all. I'll place a citation request for that section specifically and give it some time.

replies: text: it already was a meme when internet was still on floppy disks, and the question "what's the name of the song" was a meme before streaming started being a thing. it was a meme before the word meme became mainstream, it was a meme before youtube even existed 80.251.112.199 (talk) 17:19, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  As an Internet meme 

message: Right now on the internet, especially on sites like Youtube and 9gag, this song is used as a joke especially when one asks for the title of a song used in a video. The reason why should probably stem from the fact that the song itself sounds generic and ambiguous to people. How the joke works is if a user asks for a name of a particular song used in a video for the purpose of finding it online, when another user, much of the time a internet troll, replies "Darude - Sandstorm". At the time of this writing, this joke is a common sight on the internet, and I'm surprised that there's no information whatsoever on this page about this phenomenon. Some other variations on this joke include writing: "Sarude - Dandstorm" in reference to the fact that the joke is overused, and some people have made posts or videos depicting a theme known as "The rude sandstorm" referencing the fact that "Darude - Sandstorm" sounds like "the rude sandstorm" The reason I didn't edit this page is because I don't have a reliable or specific source to base my edit off of, but Darude - Sandstorm is indeed a real thing as I personally use the internet on a daily and regular basis and see this thing getting thrown around a lot. So I ask that someone see this note and write a section about this phenomenon and link their written content to a reliable source or sources.

The result of the move request was: Moved. There's consensus for move to the new name. I take into account the other suggestion by Netoholic but that point has been slightly weakened and generally no opposition to the first suggested name.

replies: text: Sandstorm (Darude composition) →  – Now, I know this is the fourth page move request; but I believe this is fair. As discussed before, "composition" mostly refers to classical music and is not fitting for the topic of this article, and as concluded, neither is "song". However, there is no denial of "Sandstorm" being an instrumental (non-vocal) track, and "instrumental" is a correct alternative dab per WP:SONGDAB, (examples: Burnin' (instrumental), Albatross (instrumental)) so this would satisfy for a title.

message: The article says that "Sandstorm" was the first Finnish music video shown on MTV in the US. Sure, in the source link, the director of the video says that it was. However, I disagree with that piece of information. According to this thesis https://www.theseus.fi/bitstream/handle/10024/14696/Musiikki.pdf;jsessionid=0AAD54117831B873E7AC455D3432CB21?sequence=1, Hanoi Rocks' video of "Up Around the Bend" (released in 1984) was the first one.
