HMS Anaconda (1813)

HMS Anaconda was an 18-gun brig-sloop of the Royal Navy during the War of 1812. She was cruising as an American privateer until sailors from HMS Sceptre captured her in 1813. She served briefly in the Royal Navy during the later stages of the War of 1812, especially at the Battle of New Orleans, before being sold in Jamaica in 1815.

American career

Anaconda was built in Middleton, Connecticut in 1812. In late 1812, Captain Nathanial Shaler took command of Anaconda in New York.

On 16 January 1812, while Captain Shaler was ashore on business, Anaconda's first lieutenant, George W. Burbank, encountered the American schooner Commodore Hull and fired a broadside into her, seriously wounding her commander, before realizing his mistake. A court martial, however, absolved Burbank from blame.

On 14 May 1813, while in the latitude of the Cape Verde Islands, he was able to capture the British packet ship Express, an 8, 11, or 12-gun brig with a crew of 38, sailing from Rio de Janeiro to England. After a fight lasting over half-an-hour, the Express struck. Shaler took out $75,000 in specie and then divested the packet after ransoming her for $8000.

Want! (Berryz Kobo song)

"Want!" (stylized as "WANT!") is the 30th single by the Japanese idol group Berryz Kobo, released in Japan on December 19, 2012.

Background

The single was to be released in four versions: Limited Edition A (catalog number PKCP-5216/7), Limited Edition B (PKCP-5218/9), Limited Edition C (PKCP-5220), and Regular Edition (PKCP-5221). Each edition has a different cover. All the limited editions were to be shipped sealed and would include a serial-numbered entry card for the lottery to win a ticket to one of the single's launch events. The limited editions A and B will include a bonus DVD: Limited Edition A DVD will contain the "Want! (Dance Shot Ver.)" music video, Limited Edition B — "Want! (Dance Shot Ver. II)".

The corresponding DVD single (so called Single V) will be released a week later, on December 26. As of November 27, the music video for the title song had been uploaded to the Berryz Kobo official YouTube channel.

The song with lyrics by Tsunku (つんく) begins "Yasashiku kata toka dakarete mitai" (優しく肩とか抱かれてみたい I want you to gently hold my shoulders), but the title comes from the refrain which is sung in English; "Ah, ah, ah, ah, I want it, want it".

Want (Natalie Imbruglia song)

"Want" is the first single taken from the Australian singer-songwriter Natalie Imbruglia's fourth studio album, Come to Life (2009). The single was released on 28 September 2009, two weeks before the release of the album in Europe and Australia. The track was written by Natalie Imbruglia, Daniel Johns under the pseudonym of Kat Kourtney, Gary Clark and Chris Martin and is one of three songs on the album co-written by Martin.

Overview

The song is written from Imbruglia's point of view and is aimed at a past lover. She bitterly sings that she has moved on and hopes that her ex can do the same. The line "I hope you get all that you want, cause I didn't" is repeated numerous times during the chorus. The song incorporates the lyrics from Natalie's 2007 song "Be with You" from her album Glorious: The Singles 1997-2007. The first verse of "Be with You" is sung during the middle 8 of "Want" with the last line changed from "And if you listen hard enough you'll hear" to "And if you listen carefully you'll hear the sound".
