Mad Men S 5

Early in season 5, why is Pete Campbell frequently sitting in a high school class while the class watches educational films? Did I miss some part that explains that? Did his advertising firm get hired to make films and he's there for research purposes? Peter Michner (talk) 00:55, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It wasn't a high school class - although I can see how it would seem to be one based on the age of the others in the room - rather it was a drivers education class. Pete had grown up in NYC and had never learned how to drive. Even with this class Pete's driving was iffy as is played out later when Bob Benson gets a bit of revenge on him by putting him behind the wheel of a stick shift car at the Chevy headquarters showroom. BTW the film of horrific wrecks that they show in that class is one that I saw in my drivers ed class. MarnetteD|Talk 13:19, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

like a virgin

Hello, there is an error on the page Like a Virgin (song), this song is not in F major, it's in E♭ minor. À la 雞 (talk) 16:31, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The current claim of F major is supported by this ref [1], though the key of that sheet music may or may not be the key that she commonly performs it in. SemanticMantis (talk) 18:18, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
For what it's worth the versions here and here seem to be in F/G major. AndrewWTaylor (talk) 10:02, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply

And G major has the same key signature as E minor, so that may explain the OP's premise. -- Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 12:14, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
