Talk:Closing Time (Semisonic song)

message: "The song is commonly mislabeled as being by many other Alt-Rock bands on many p2p services due to ignorance of many people assuming all bands sound the same." - I cut this as it's not very encyclopedic. --CannedLizard 02:28, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Some of the transitions  on the left side could be edits. Examples: 1:21 and 1:58. Cite a reference where the video maker states that the shots are continuous. If none can be found, soften the language to something like "appear to be continuous shots". I put in a citation needed but I haven't changed the text since it may be accurate and just not sourced.JoeBrennan (talk) 13:27, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

message: Why is there no reference to the Green Day release of this song, which is by far the better known version? Guinness2702 (talk) 22:14, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Because it's not a Green Day song, and they've never released a version of it. --Yankees76 Talk 12:25, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: Not really, and only if there's significant coverage of it in reliable sources. Otherwise a few people mislabeling their YouTube videos and mp3s on P2P or torrent sites with the wrong band is not really encyclopedic or rare. Off the top of my head The Hollies, "Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress" is mistaken and mislabeled for being done by CCR; Rockwell recorded "Somebody's Watching Me", but it's is often labeled as Michael Jackson (though he does sing the chorus); Spirit of The West's "Home for a Rest" is usually labeled as being a Great Big Sea song. I could go on and on - however 90% of the time it's not usually worth noting here. One exception is  America's, "A Horse With No Name" which is often labeled as Neil Young, and received some minor coverage (the article here has an unsourced quote from the lead singer about the confusion and the backlash the band received about it). This song being mislabeled as being Green Day is not really one of those cases. --Yankees76 Talk 18:06, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Green Day? 

message: The article says that in Friends with Benefits, Justin Timberlake erroneously attributes the song to Third Eye Blind.
But I remember that he says,"This is not by Third Eye Blind, can you believe it? It's by Semisonic!"
Or something, but I distinctly remember that he says it is 'not by Third Eye Blind'.
Can anyone who has the movie with them see the last scene again and comment?

message: This song does not appear in the final moments of the seinfeld final episode as suggested in the article. I watched the last 7 minutes of it just now (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_OS1q6f5Rc). Perhaps the person who wrote this confused "closing time" with the song "time of your life" by Greenday, which was played in the montage at the beginning of the final episode? In any case I can find no evidence that "closing time" was played.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.114.22.35 (talk) 00:29, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
