Talk:Maggie May (folk song)

message: Am I the only one who can't control the laughter that comes out when John says "Liverpool" with the most Cockneyesque dialect?  Anyway, my ultimate point is that this song (on Let It Be) is audible proof of the growing tension between Lennon and McCartney.  It was later removed from Let it be. . .Naked!, because apparently Paul McCartney thought it had been included distastefully and deliberately to mock and sabotage his composition.
I seriously feel the need to mention it in the main article (as though it's not short enough.)

message: "C (talk | contribs) m (3,260 bytes) (→The Beatles' version: removed incorrect assumption.) ".... The statement is not an assumption. It is a speculation. It is not worth making a fuss about but if you have evidence that it is not correct that might be interesting.
Strange that someone has included a 'line-up' list for the Beatles. The song has been performed by many others who may not be so well known but who are more closely associated with it. mikeL ...(hello sinebot are you still there ?) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.238.234.172 (talk) 16:03, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

message: As Jackson’s version showed, the Beatles spent way too much time just messing about, jamming.
They played the old Liverpool folk song ‘Maggie Mae’, God knows why, and they played it from memory, and they got it wrong.
The words are not ‘That dirty, no good, robbing, Maggie Mae’, but ‘and paid her passage out to Botany Bay’, i.e. she became a convict and was sent to Australia.

Talk:I've Got a Feeling

message: I deleted reference to "I've Got A Feeling" being partly inspired by the Beatles' song "Watching Rainbows". "Watching Rainbows" was a one-off jam the Beatles performed on 14 January 1969 at Twickenham Studios, London, during rehearsals for the Let It Be album. It is very loosely based on the same chord progression as "I've Got A Feeling".
"I've Got A Feeling" had been performed at those same rehearsals on 2 January, 3 January, 6 January, 7 January, 8 January, 9 January, and 10 January 1969 and had taken its finished form by the time the "Watching Rainbows" performance occurred. Mayor of awesometown (talk) 02:59, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: Adding that would require a reliable source. And it must be notable. He does a lot of songs in his live performances. Singling out one song is not notable. Sundayclose (talk) 21:46, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the feedback. For the 2016 tour it's a pretty consistent set list...the show I saw in Hershey followed the internet listings point by point. There are, I think, 37 or 38 numbers in his current set. (Which was pretty impressive for a 74 year old guy...) As for notability, I've seen countless articles about individual songs that included detailed information about first performed live, last performed live, not played live since the '73 tour, etc., along with sometimes dozens of highly non-notable covers. But I also understand that that doesn't mean that those articles are in line with wikipedia policies either. And thanks again for such a rapid response.... PurpleChez (talk) 13:15, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

text: Not to belabor the point, but I picked a random song - The Grateful Dead's China Cat Sunflower - the article includes detailed and very well written information about the song's history in live performances by the band. And if anybody did a lot of songs in their live performances, it was the GD....supposedly never played the same set list twice....I don't think it's a matter of China Cat Sunflower being singled out but, rather, someone choosing to source reliable information. PurpleChez (talk) 13:25, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks for responding. It's a matter of WP:WEIGHT and WP:RECENT. If there is something (with a good source) that makes this song stand out in his playlist, it might be more worthy of mention than the hundreds of other songs he has performed live. If this song is one of many that are added and rotated in and out of his performances over many years of performing, that doesn't help make a case for notability.

thread_title: Partial merger

message: I've expanded the article to include information about the history of the award, detail about the nomination process, voting, categories, etc, as well as the statuette itself.  I've left the information about the "Special Awards" presented at the ceremony, but I've removed the various "lists of winners" which I believe belong on their respective Annual Awards pages, and not on the main article describing the purpose/history of the award itself.  I've also removed the "notes" section in the "Ceremony" wikitable.  Most of the notable information that was there I've added to the body of the article, and the rest of the notes (such as when an individual category began, or was not presented, etc) I believe belong on the pages for that year's award.  I have nothing against the winners, but I believe numerous "lists of winners" on the "mother" page of an award simply clutter the article and make the page unnecessarily long.  I'm posting this here to provide a more detailed explanation of my edits for any editors who may be watching the page, so I'll leave this here for the next week or two, but I like to clean up my rambling "Edit Summaries" on talk pages to keep things tidy, so if there aren't any follow-up posts replying here with any questions, comments or concerns, then I'll be deleting this section in a couple of weeks. --- Crakkerjakk (talk) 12:37, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Talk:I Call Your Name

message: I Call Your Name appears to be about a guy trying to forget the girl he loves by sleeping with other women.  However, he still calls out her name during sex.  This is vague in the first refrain:
Oh I can’t sleep at night, since you’ve been gone. I never weep at night I can’t go on
The phrasing is more obvious the second time emphasizing not crying (into his pillow alone at night) but calling her name (during sex with other women):
Oh I can’t sleep at night, but just the same I never weep at night I call your name

thread_title:  Discrepency with the song writer's age 

message: Regarding the fears of Paul McCartney about the presumed imitation of Yesterday, we should pay attention to the following:
Checking the scores of pieces from different composers, which were played by the Beatles, we should notice that in the famous song composed by Consuelo Velasquez "Besame Mucho", the musical structure of the intital phrases is very similar to the ones of Yesterday, furthermore, the harmonic composition, follow the same parameters in the two melodies, without one being a copy of the other. 
One should notice McCartney's inclination towards Latin American music, specially "Besame Mucho", which he sang and recorded at least twice without commercial interest.
Recording "Till There Was You", was one of his ideas. The song is more or less a bolero sang in English by himself. Paul McCartney once wanted to be named by the pseudonymous of "Paul Ramon", another evidence of his Latin American inclination.
There is another coincidence between these two songs: "Besame mucho" is the most often recorded and most popular spanish speaking song of the Twentieth Century--190.159.165.80 (talk) 23:53, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

I am assuming that it is mentioned because of the length of the song? What I dont understand is why the whole "Bob Dylan introducing The Beatles to marijuana" is included, when the connection between this song and the drug has never been confirmed, and although it is very likely, must we now include these lines on ever Beatles song that may or may not have a drug reference?

(See North Shore Regiment in this web site) Ironically, Father Hickey, who would later teach religion (and my mother), wrote and published a book about his experiences which was entiitled "Red Dawn".
