Jeffry "Jeff" Wayne (born July 1, 1943) is an American musician. In 1978 he released Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds, his musical adaptation of H. G. Wells' science-fiction novel The War of the Worlds. Wayne wrote approximately 3,000 advertising jingles in the 1970s which appeared on television in the United Kingdom, notably a Gordon's Gin commercial which was covered by The Human League.Wayne also composed numerous well-known television themes, including Good Morning Britain (TV-am), ITV's The Big Match and The World of Sport, BBC's 60 Minutes, and for 24 years, the UK's first news radio station, LBC. Wayne wrote feature film and documentary film scores and was musical director for various artists. Wayne published a book called The Book of Tennis and created, produced and scored eight thirty-minute episodes of The Book of Tennis Chronicles that was distributed by Fox Sports in approximately twenty countries, and was broadcast in the US on The Tennis Channel between 2005 and 2008.
Jeff Wayne, known in the stand-up comedy world as "Big Daddy", was born and raised in northern Kentucky. At the age of 14 he decided he wanted to become a stand-up comedian. He later moved to Los Angeles to become part of The Comedy Store. Developing an act, and writing his own material, Wayne was soon working the burgeoning comedy club industry around the United States, becoming a headline act on the circuit, working the Improv's, Funny Bones, and other comedy clubs in cities across the country. Wayne also did five tours for Carlsberg Beer in Europe.
In 1993 Wayne wrote and performed his one-man show, Big Daddy's Barbeque. This show, directed by Ted Lange (Isaac of TV's The Love Boat), was a leap from clubs to theater, and resulted in a popular and critical success. The show had long runs, including 16 weeks in Dallas, and 10 weeks in Tempe and Seattle. Variety called the show a "one man riot" and declared Wayne "a new Will Rogers". The show was a pilot for television first for NBC, then UPN. Wayne has continued to tour with the play and has performed it over 1,000 times.
Thunderchild, Thunder Child or variant, may refer to:
HMSThunder Child, a fictional GB Royal Navy ironclad torpedo steam ram featured in the HG Wells novel "The War of the Worlds" in a victorious fight against the Martian tripods
Torpedo rams were constructed in the 1870s and 1880s after the ramming and sinking of the Re d'Italia at the Battle of Lissa in 1866 by the Austrian flagship, Ferdinand Max. Despite the Italian warship being stationary at the time, the successful attack influenced naval thinking for the next few decades.
The result was specially-designed low profile, fast, armoured vessels equipped with a ram or torpedoes, or both, intended for use where it was possible to approach an enemy ship without being sunk; for example at night or in poor visibility, or where the enemy ship was stationary or disabled, or lacked support by nearby ships. As late as 1896 the United States commissioned a ship whose only effective weapon was a ram, the harbour-defence ram USS Katahdin.
Mister also known as Mr. is a Hong Kong, Chineserock band composed of lead vocalist Alan Po, rhythm guitarist Ronny Lay, lead guitarist Quincy Tam, bassist and backing vocalist Desmond Tam, and drummer Tom To.
The quintet originated from the underground indie scene where they were known as White Noise. Their breakthrough performance was their gig at Alan Tam's birthday party. They were subsequently recommended to Universal Music by himself who was deeply impressed by their skill and talent.
"Mister (Hangul: 미스터, Japanese: ミスター)" is a song performed by South Koreangirl groupKara from their second Korean album, Revolution. It was released as their Japanese debut single on August 11, 2010. It was released in four editions, one includes a DVD, another one is CD with a 28-page photobook, and two CD only editions, first press and regular.
Background
The song was originally from the group's second Korean album Revolution. The group performed this song as a part of their comeback stage special alongside Revolution's lead single, "Wanna", starting on July 31, 2009, beginning with KBS's Music Bank then onto MBC'sShow! Music Core and finally on SBS'sInkigayo. After wrapping up their comeback stages to begin promotions for their second full-length Korean album, the song proved to be popular with the viewers due to its addicting "butt dance" that is featured prominently in the choreography; helping the group's Revolution album to perform well on various music charts prompting the group to promote the song more on music programs rather than the actual lead single, "Wanna". Due to the overwhelming response that "Mister" received, the group's overall popularity in South Korea increased, with numerous advertisement requests coming in for the group as they had more advertisements in October 2009 than the previous two years.

The song reached No.5 on the UK Singles Chart in August 1978.

The hammering from the pit and the pounding of guns grew louder. My fear rose at the sound of someone creeping into the house. Then I saw it was a young artilleryman, weary, streaked with blood and dirt. Artilleryman: Anyone here? Journalist: Come in. Here, drink this. Artilleryman: Thank you. Journalist: What's happened? Artilleryman: They wiped us out. Hundreds dead, maybe thousands. Journalist: The heat ray? Artilleryman: The Martians. They were inside the hoods of machines they'd made, massive metal things on legs. Giant machines that walked. They attacked us. They wiped us out. Journalist: Machines? Artilleryman: Fighting machines, picking up men and bashing them against trees. Just hunks of metal, but they knew exactly what they were doing. Journalist: Hmm. There was another cylinder came last night. Artilleryman: Yes. Yes, it looked bound for London. London! Carrie! I hadn't dreamed there could be danger to Carrie and her father, so many miles away. Journalist: I must go to London at once. Artilleryman: And me, got to report to headquarters, if there's anything left of it. At Byfleet, we came upon an inn, but it was deserted. Artilleryman: Is everybody dead? Journalist: Not everybody, look... Six cannons with gunners standing by. Artilleryman: Bows and arrows against the lightning. Journalist: Hmm. Artilleryman: They haven't seen the heat ray yet. We hurried along the road to Weybridge. Suddenly, there was a heavy explosion and gusts of smoke erupted into the air. Artilleryman: Look! There they are! What did I tell you! Quickly, one after the other, four of the fighting machines appeared. Monstrous tripods, higher than the tallest steeple, striding over the pine trees and smashing them, walking tripods of glittering metal. Each carried a huge funnel and I realized with horror that I'd seen this awful thing before A fifth Machine appeared on the far bank. It raised itself to full height, flourished the funnel high in the air - and the ghostly, terrible Heat Ray struck the town. JOURNALIST: As it struck, all five Fighting Machines exulted, emitting deafening howls which roared like thunder. MARTIANS: Ulla! Ulla! JOURNALIST: The six guns we had seen now fired simultaneously, decapitating a Fighting Machine. The Martian inside the hood was slain, splashed to the four winds, and the body, nothing now but an intricate device of metal, went whirling to destruction. As the other Monsters advanced, people ran away blindly, the Artilleryman among them, but I jumped into the water and hid until forced up to breathe. Now the guns spoke again, but this time the Heat Ray sent them to oblivion. MARTIANS: Ulla! JOURNALIST: With a white flash, the Heat Ray swept across the river. Scalded, half- blinded and agonized, I staggered through leaping, hissing water towards the shore. I fell helplessly, in full sight of the Martians, expecting nothing but death. The foot of a Fighting Machine came down close to my head, then lifted again, as the four Martians carried away the debris of their fallen comrade... and I realized that by a miracle , I had escaped.
