Shot in the Dark (song)

"Shot in the Dark" is a song by heavy metal solo artist Ozzy Osbourne. It is the ninth and final track on his 1986 album The Ultimate Sin. A top-ten hit on Mainstream rock radio, the song also became his most successful single on the Billboard Hot 100 at the time, peaking at number 68. The official music video for the song was directed by Andy Morahan.

The song was reportedly written by bassist Phil Soussan along with fellow Wildlife bandmates Steve Overland and Chris Overland, before he joined Ozzy's band. However, Osbourne was credited as a co-writer on the album sleeve. This issue has become a source of contention over the years, and in spite of its success, the song has rarely appeared on Ozzy Osbourne greatest hits compilations as a result. One exception was the original release of The Ozzman Cometh; however, the song was omitted from the 2002 re-mastered re-release of this compilation and replaced with "Miracle Man." Both Just Say Ozzy (an EP containing an alternate version of "Shot in the Dark") and The Ultimate Sin were deleted from Ozzy's catalog in 2002 for claims of unpaid royalties from Soussan.

Triplets Short Film

The film opens with a young boy named Daniel Faulkner, who is physically and mentally abused by his father, causing him to take on two more personalities; Trevor and William. We see Daniel fumbling with a grenade while having a conversation with his personalities about their abuse, who decide that the only way to resolve the situation is that they all die. The conversation is disturbed by their drunk father, who enters Daniel's (in which he is now alone) and marches him out of the room for punishment. Later we see Daniel in his bed as his father lies down next to him. At the same time, Daniel pulls the tab on his grenade and the explosion kills them both.

A Shot in the Dark (Homicide: Life on the Street)

"A Shot in the Dark" is the fourth episode of the first season of the American police drama television series Homicide: Life on the Street. It originally aired on NBC in the United States on February 24, 1993. The teleplay was written Jorge Zamacona based on a story by executive producer Tom Fontana, and the episode was directed by Bruce Paltrow. In the episode, Crosetti focuses his investigation into the shooting of Officer Thormann (Lee Tergesen) on one suspect, while Lewis continues to investigate. Meanwhile, Pembleton and Bayliss pursue different leads in the murder case of 11-year-old Adena Watson.

The shooting of a police officer and the murder of young girl were both directly inspired by real-life events chronicled in David Simon's non-fiction book, Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets, on which the series was based. "A Shot in the Dark" continued a string of guest appearances by actress Edie Falco as Eva Thormann, the wife of Officer Thormann.

Can't Take That Away from Me

Can't Take that Away from Me is the first mixtape by American pop-R&B singer JoJo. The free mixtape was released exclusively to Rap-Up.com on September 7, 2010, as a prelude to her third studio album, which has yet to be released. The mixtape received a positive reaction from both JoJo's fans and critics alike. This is JoJo's first independent release without a major label.

Background

Following the release of "Anything"—the final single from her second album The High Road—in late 2007, JoJo stated that she had been writing and working with producers for her third studio album, but would not go into the studio until early 2008. In mid-2008, JoJo revealed that the album, previously titled All I Want Is Everything, was scheduled for a fourth quarter release that year, to coincide with her eighteenth birthday in December. However, the album's release was delayed due to issues with her record label, Da Family Entertainment, which had encountered financial difficulties. Eventually, JoJo decided to sue the label in order to be released from her contract. JoJo won the case, and her label Blackground Records reached a deal with Interscope Records for distribution. To prepare for the release of All I Want Is Everything, then retitled Jumping Trains and now untitled without a release date, JoJo decided to release a mixtape in 2010.

In the Dark (Bix Beiderbecke song)

"In the Dark" is a 1931 jazz composition for solo piano by cornetist Bix Beiderbecke. The song was the fourth in a series of four piano works composed by Bix Beiderbecke during his career.

Background

Bix Beiderbecke never recorded the song himself but copyrighted the composition on April 18, 1931 along with "Flashes", a similar piano work for solo piano, as "A Modern Composition for the Piano". Bill Challis assisted in the transcription of the composition for piano. The score and sheet music for the composition were published by Robbins Music in New York. Jazz trumpeter Bunny Berigan recorded the song on December 1, 1938 in New York and released it as a 78 single in an arrangement for orchestra and trumpet in 1939. In 2010, pianist Bryan Wright recorded the composition on piano and released it on Rivermont along with the three other piano compositions by Bix Beiderbecke, "In a Mist" (1927), "Candlelights" (1930), and "Flashes" (1931).

A copy of a 1931 "In the Dark" sheet music cover was dedicated and signed by Bix Beiderbecke to trumpeter Leo McConville:
