Talk:Row, Row, Row Your Boat

message: I doubt that the version attributed to Tre Cool is his own work. I had been singing those lyrics since about 1994: way before anyone had ever heard of Tre. If no one can produce evidence that the lyrics are his, I'll remove reference to him (but leave the lyrics, of course).

thread_title: Tré Cool's version

message: Are the additional verses part of the original setting, or have they been added over time?  Either way, this should be explained in the article  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.62.98.200 (talk) 17:10, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Whoops should have read this talk page before editing. I did merge them. Also I think the section should be severely trimmed. Odeally only verses that can be attributed to someone should be in IMO. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 15:24, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I noticed that after changing my mind and about to merge them also. :^) I think it makes sense. --Ericjs (talk) 15:26, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

text:  I don't agree though that only attributable versions should be included. This song has become a part of the culture and I think recognizing the ubiquity of "folk" versions is desireable. But whether we need to include every folk version is certainly questionable, and I don't know where or if the line should be drawn. --Ericjs (talk) 15:30, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The inclusion of so many extra and alternative versions is to the detriment of this article. Other encyclopedias simply do not do this. This is is not a forum where we can put our favourites. The vast majority should be deleted or at the very least moved to Wikisource so that this can be an informative and informed guide to the topic.--Sabrebd (talk) 19:12, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Additional verse question 

message: As for Hugh Prather, the author and minister remarked that the song supports his contention that life is to be enjoyed (rather than be a burden), with the number of tasks (three "rows") offset by one more measure of enjoyment (four "merrilies").

thread_title:  Interpretation 

message: I go to Millersville University and it is widely accepted that this song was orignally written on our Campus.
If anybody has heard of this or anything about it. It would be cool to see this on the page.
We actually have a building named Lyte on campus.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jkuz (talk • contribs) 17:33, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

message: I've added this to the popular culture section. It's quite an iconic scene of the film where Scorpio(the villain)hijacks a school bus and forces the children to sing the nursery rhyme. http://sorakimblog.wordpress.com/2013/04/26/dirty-harry-film-analysis/I'm surprised it isn't mentioned.Wyliecoyote1990 (talk) 00:24, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Added Dirty Harry to the popular culture section 

message: Hey guys I didn't change anything because I don't really know anything about how the editing process,  I wanted to mention that "Breaking Bad" was never on HBO. Hope someone is able to make the change. Thanks.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.8.78.73 (talk) 20:02, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

message: I don't think that the notes in the article correspond to the original: As far as I know, the song is written in minor scale! In my ears, it sounds awful in the major key. Max Blatter (talk) 17:59, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The source being used shows a major scale. Not that it matters, it would work in a minor mode, but I've never seen or heard it as anything other than a melody in a major scale.   signed, Willondon (talk)  18:26, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
