Blazing Saddles What is the name of the German song that Madeline Kahn and the German soldiers are singing during the fight scene?

Du, du liegst mir im Herzen" ("You, you are in my heart") is a German folk song, believed to have originated in northern Germany around 1820. The song's most recognizable element is its refrain, ja ja ja ja, which is perhaps more famous than the song itself. It was notably referenced in the film Blazing Saddles, where it is sung by Madeline Kahn (playing a caricature of Marlene Dietrich) and a group of Prussian soldiers, and it also features in Top Secret! and Alfred Hitchcock's "Lifeboat" sung by Walter Slezak.

Is everybody safe?

Is everybody warm inside?

All the women of Pompeii

Standing with the Kansas City housewives in doorways

In volcanoes and tornadoes on doomsday.

?????

(verse)

There were houses, there were hoses

There were sprinklers on the lawn

There was an ironing board

And she would she stand later understanding

And ask the children

What they'd done at school that day

And the yard went on forever.

There were blouses with print roses

Checkered shirts and while levi's

And there were frying pans

And she would cook

their dreams while they were dreamin

and later she would send them out to play

and the yard went on forever.

(chorus)

Is everybody safe

Has everbody got a place to hide

Is everbody warm inside

Hear them singing

All the women of Bombay

Standing with the Nagasaki housewives

in doorways

In eruptions and destructions on doomsday

(chorus)

What does it mean sing out of key?

Sensitivity to pitch is widely varying among people. Some people are called "tone deaf" if they show that they cannot duplicate a pitch however hard they try, but many believe that no person is completely unable to distinguish pitches. Others have stunning abilities to recognize pitch accurately and effortlessly; these people are said to have absolute pitch, and sometimes perfect pitch. Perfect pitch is sometimes defined as the ability to produce pitch accurately if given a reference pitch, even if they cannot identify pitch without a reference. In this sense, a person who is highly skilled at sight-reading or solfeggio might be considered to have perfect pitch, even if they need a reference pitch to start with. Whatever the case, singing is usually best when the performer can 'hit' the notes accurately, while using variance in the pitch deliberately to achieve beautiful musical effects. Examples are vibrato, trills and portamento. Excessive 'sliding up' to the note one is singing has become very commonplace and I usually find it grating. When someone with keen sensitivity to pitch hears a singer with less pitch sensitivity, the result can be unpleasant. The listener wants to hear notes hit accurately, and the performer may not even be aware that there is any problem at all. We are not talking about timbre, or complexity of the sound itself, but the pitch (frequency) of the notes hit. There is something called "Sprecht-gesang" (sp?) [speech-song] which is found in some 20th century music. This is where passages are "sung" in a way that is very similar to the intonations of language. The intention is not to produce melodic lines as in a standard song, but to stylize vocal utterances in a more linguistic way and usually without strict regard to the exact pitch levels of dodecaphonic western musics. While this kind of speech song can be part of stunningly beautiful music, few would disagree that the performers are singing 'out of key'.

What is the singing part of a song called i know instrumental is the beat but what is the voice part called and where can you download these?

I presume you mean the lyrics, or the words that the singer sings. Google either the song title or 'lyrics' and you will come up with many different links.

I think you mean "acapella". This is when you have just the singing and no backing track.
