message: Why the "cleanup" and "irrelevant example" tags in the article? This article looks fine to me, and the "history" section is interesting, well-written, and totally relevant to the subject. Since nobody has explained their issues here in the discussion, I am going to remove these tags. If you have specific problems, bring them here and we can discuss them.

message: This song is partly based on  On the Beach at Bali-Bali released in 1935, which Abner Silver collaborated with Al Sherman. Chico Marx plays a version of this in A Day at the Races, but there are other versions from the same time.  Itsaback (talk) 08:26, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

message: Google cannot find any reference to any "Snitzky Awards" except for Mairzy Doats allegedly winning it in 1944--and pretty much all of those webpages are cut-and-paste text from Wikipedia.  Either the Snitzky is made up or it is a very, very obscure award--either way, it's not notable enough for a Wikipedia entry.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.61.224.125 (talk) 13:30, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

message: The 'history' section does not adequately address the origins of the main saying "mares eat oats...", it makes mention that it is from an older nursery rhyme then focuses exclusively on the song from the '40s.
This should be clarified and rewritten.  The song is a specific extrapolation based upon the original version.
:True, but that's pretty well all that the Opie source says. If you know of additional sources that can provide more details, please say. MichaelMaggs (talk) 21:45, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

message: Hello out there,
I just deleted first line in recordings the following,  "In 1938, The Merry Macs used the song to kickoff their first album, Presenting The Merry Macs."
The song was written and published in 1943. Following the songwriters' lives, highly questionable that all 3 were together in 1938. 
On-line sites show the album, Presenting the Merry Macs, released March 11, 1938 was originally from Decca Records, later becoming Universal Digital Enterprises. Under Wikipedia Category:Decca Records albums there is no album, Presenting The Merry Macs. 
Presenting The Merry Macs
The Merry Macs
Released on 1938-03-11 by Universal Digital Enterprises
Main artists: The Merry Macs
Genre: Po
Universal Digital Enterprises 
Many songs on this album were published in the 1940's.
