Limelight (also known as Drummond light or calcium light) is a type of stage lighting once used in theatres and music halls. An intense illumination is created when an oxyhydrogen flame is directed at a cylinder of quicklime (calcium oxide), which can be heated to 2,572°C (4,662°F) before melting. The light is produced by a combination of incandescence and candoluminescence. Although it has long since been replaced by electric lighting, the term has nonetheless survived, as someone in the public eye is still said to be “in the limelight.” The actual lights are called limes, a term which has been transferred to electrical equivalents.
History
The limelight effect was discovered in the 1820s by Goldsworthy Gurney, based on his work with the "oxy-hydrogen blowpipe," credit for which is normally given to Robert Hare. In 1825, a Scottish engineer, Thomas Drummond (1797–1840), saw a demonstration of the effect by Michael Faraday and realized that the light would be useful for surveying. Drummond built a working version in 1826, and the device is sometimes called the Drummond Light after him.
"Limelight" is the 12th single by the French singer Alizée, released in 2010. The single is an electro-pop. The music and the lyrics are by Angy Laperdrix, Guillaume de Maria, Julien Galinier and Raphael Vialla. The single was only on sale in Poland.
Format
The vinyl single has on its B-side the long version of the song and the A-side has a picture.
Video
Official music video of the song was never released. Only a teaser video exists.

Laid Back is a Danish electronic music duo group from Copenhagen, formed in 1979. The duo consists of John Guldberg (vocals, guitar, bass) and Tim Stahl (vocals, keyboards, drums, bass). They are best known for the hits "Sunshine Reggae" and "White Horse" from 1983 and "Bakerman" from 1989.
Work
Guldberg and Stahl met in the mid-1970s, and played together in a group called The Starbox Band. After a poorly received showsupportingThe Kinks, the band split up, but the duo continued working together. Guldberg set up a small studio in downtown Copenhagen where the two musicians began exploring the possibilities that were being opened up by new technologies, such as multitracktape recorders, synthesizers and drum machines.
This comes off of his 2000 side project while Rush was on a hiatus entitled My Favourite Headache. The scenes are things that are perfect in views.

Janie's vision for the video was sparked by Amirali's seductive voice which evokes a mysterious, shadowy realm, and opened up a series of associations for me in creating the video for Beautiful World. Janie was excited to work with the contrasting rhythms of the vocal and instrumental tracks to create parallel layers of cadence and meaning. Beautiful World is a door to our world, one of both beauty and underlying darkness.
