    Nana (1926) is Jean Renoir's second full-length silent film and is based on the novel by Émile Zola.

    Plot

    A government official, Count Muffat, falls under the spell of Nana, a young actress. She becomes his mistress, living in the sumptuous apartment which he provides for her. Instead of elevating herself to Muffat's level, however, Nana drags the poor man down to hers - in the end, both lives have been utterly destroyed.

    Production

    The film stars Renoir’s wife, Catherine Hessling, in an eccentric performance as the flawed heroine Nana.

    Jean Renoir’s film is a fairly faithful adaptation of Émile Zola’s classic novel. The film’s extravagances include two magnificent set pieces – a horse race and an open air ball. The film never made a profit, and the commercial failure of the film robbed Renoir of the opportunity to make such an ambitious film again for several years.

  • Nana (echos)

    Phthora nana (Medieval Greek φθορά νανὰ) is one of the ten modes of the Hagiopolitan Octoechos consisting of 8 diatonic echoi and two additional phthorai. It is used in different traditions of Orthodox chant until today (→ Neobyzantine Octoechos). The name "nana" is taken from the syllables (written in ligatures "ʅʅ") sung during the intonation which precedes a melody composed in this mode. The name "phthora" derived from the verb φθείρω and means "destroy" or "corrupt". It was usually referred to the diatonic genus of the eight mode system and as a sign used in Byzantine chant notation it indicated a "change to another genus" (μεταβολὴ κατὰ γένος), in the particular case of phthora nana a change to the enharmonic genus. Today the "nana" intonation has become the standard name of the third authentic mode which is called "echos tritos" (ἦχος τρίτος) in Greek and "third glas" (третий Гласъ) in Old Church Slavonic.

    The different functions of phthora nana

    In the theory and notation of Byzantine and Orthodox chant nana is the name of a special phthora which had been used in different ways according to its historic context:

    Dungeon Keeper

    Dungeon Keeper is a strategy video game developed by Bullfrog Productions and released by Electronic Arts in July 1997 for the PC. The player builds and manage a dungeon while protecting it from invading 'hero' characters intent on stealing the player's accumulated treasures and killing various monsters.

    Gameplay

    The player uses a mouse, represented in-game as a hand, to interact with a bar on the left-hand side of the screen, allowing them to select which rooms to build and which spells to cast. The player can also use the hand to pick up creatures and objects in the dungeon and carry them around, allowing for tactics such as gathering an assault force and dropping off the creatures en masse once a foothold has been established. The hand also allows the player to "slap" objects and thereby interact with them: creatures will hurry up when slapped, some traps will be triggered and prisoners in the Torture Chamber can be tortured.

    The main game view is in isometric perspective; this view can be zoomed and rotated. The player also has the option of possessing one of their creatures, and seeing the dungeon from that creature's first-person perspective, as well as using their attacks and abilities. The map is divided into a grid of rectangles, most of which are invisible. A smaller part of the map is shown as a minimap in the top left corner of the screen.

    Horny '98

    "Horny '98" is a house song by producer Mousse T., pop duo Hot 'n' Juicy, and vocalist Inaya Day. The song reached number two in the UK Singles Chart in June 1998.

    The single entered the UK chart at number three on 6 June 1998, peaking one place higher the following week and staying on the chart for 17 weeks. The song was written by Keith David and Mousse T.

    South Park

    The song was later included on the South Park soundtrack album Chef Aid: The South Park Album.

    On Chef Aid, the song opens with a mock phone call between Sid Greenfield (voiced by Trey Parker) and South Park creators, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, talking about putting the song on the album. In the mock phone call (which begins on the previous track, and continues throughout "Horny") Matt and Trey repeatedly voice their dislike for the song, and Sid Greenfield finally agrees not to include it. (Of course this is after the song has already finished playing in its entirety.)

    Mashup

    In 2006, a mash-up between "Horny" and The Dandy Warhols' song, "Bohemian Like You" was released as "Horny as a Dandy".

    Knock 'em out y'all, knock 'em out y'all
    Knock 'em out and tell them what we all about y'all
    Knock 'em out y'all, knock 'em out y'all
    Knock 'em out and tell them what we all about y'all

    So I can re-script the lyrics, makin' MC's feel it
    The devious, devastating theorist
    And I can mess you up, somethin' ludicrous
    Ain't nuttin' you can do to this
    Stop the huffin' and puffin', stompin' niggaz out
    I'm makin' 'em stiff and fillin' 'em with [Incomprehensible] stuffin'
    Bloody, bloody, bloody, blood clot, [Incomprehensible] on your knot
    Left kids in the stack with the big hot, sixteen shot
    Duke listen, kids is [Incomprehensible], in action
    If that's not [Incomprehensible] picture
    Eliminate suckers with subtraction
    'Cause I get the chills on a midsummer night
    Yeah, I can fight, or in the winter I make your ass hot like a light
    Bub-rub-a-dub, three bodies in a tub
    Okay, go get the men with the white gloves
    You can call it business but I'm personal
    Onyx's verse to whoever want to feel with terror
    And to all y'all crews, whatever
    'Cause the place is here, and the time is now
    The place is where?
    Here
    The time is when?
    The place is where?

    At night time I kill 'em, bloody on my canine
    Search and find you just, mob through blast fast
    Ruffin' 'em up, toughen 'em up, as ass
    It isn't what was the damn murder
    That [Incomprehensible] done gone sick

    The ass kick, blast with, my shook nine rhymes
    Crimes is crazy, easy baby
    Mess around, get drowned and have that ass in Paisley
    Props is props, unorthodox, so watch
    Where we live, we get beat up, by the cops
    But that can't stop, the kids are so hip-hop
    Roof to roof top, dropped, the eight count
    Dead, dead on arrival, forget the fame
    The game is survival, you know my name
    I throw blows in the world of the rap war
    Tap jaws of crews, bruise 'em on tour
    And the place is where?

    I've come to suck the blood upon a microphone
    Gaze deep into my eyes, I'll make you turn to stone
    It be, "Night of the Walking Dead", if you don't leave me the hell alone
    'Cause rap ain't no game but I'm playin' for keeps
    I live in The Rotten Apple, the city that never sleeps
    Stop, you try to steal my style and got spotted
    Niggaz can't get it, 'cause niggaz ain't got it
    I've been a bald head since the age of ten
    Plus I'm a ruthless crook and I was born in Crooklyn
    So a stick up, is a piece of cake for
    The kid with the Sticky Fingaz everything I touch I take
    So don't make me angry, you won't like me when I'm angry
    All that frustration starts to change me
    Then I scream, so my voice gets hoarse
    It's time to face the music and the Red Cross
    You can fool some of the people some of the time
    The beat is the heart and the words get the mind
    I'm livin' proof there's no hope of mankind
    The place is where?
    Here
    And now is the time
    The place is where?
    Here
    The time is when?
    The place is where?
    Here
    The time is when?
    The place is where?
    Here
    The time is when?
    The place is where?
    Here
    The time is when?
    And now I wanna battle
    Word up
    And this ain't melody, melody
    So don't sing it, bring it
    Let's throw down
    Ai yo, we need a little motherfuckin' bit of crowd participation
    Bust dat motherfuckin' ass

    When I say, "Bust dat ass", you say, "Bust dat ass"
