message: Set to a cheerful tune, the lyrics first appear to describe a lovely scene "A fella looking dapper, and he's sittin' with a slapper"
Had to laugh at this one. A fella "sittin' with a slapper" - what a lovely scene! 217.155.20.163 23:14, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Do we have a citable source for the info about Duke Reid? I know that Reggae Merengue was recorded by Tommy McCook, but I've always been quite certain that McCook, and not Reid, also wrote the song. Duke Reid would have played it on his system for sure, but McCook usually wrote his own material for the Supersonics and stuff. I'd love to know the real story, so a source would be great.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:LilyAllen LDNsingle.jpg

message: In Colombia it is widely held that this song is based on a folk song from the 50s by Nestor Montes called "Cógeme la caña". Here are two references I found:
http://www.scribd.com/doc/6510908/Cartagena-Noticias-del-Olvido
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmo_Py8oTeQ
There is not much online about this but this belief is widespread enough in Colombia that I think it should merit mention in the main article.

thread_title:  Song based on "Cógeme la caña", Colombian folk song by Nestor Montes? 

message: I just listened to a copy of "London Is The Place For Me" and I can't hear that song in this one.  Can anyone point out any particular piece of correspondence? -- Beland (talk) 01:08, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: There probably isn't. This article was edited by lots of IPs and unexperienced users, so most of the information comes from blogs, unreliable sources, or even made up. So this statement may be fake. Anyway, I will start work on the article soon and clean it up. I did the Background section a few months ago and forgot to finish the article. --12345abcxyz20082009 (talk) 08:54, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
