message: :Image:Huey Piano Smith HBP.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

message: I corrected the (common) error of misspelling the 1958 hit single by Huey and Jerry as "Little Chickie Wah Wah." It is actually "Little Chickee Wah Wah," as can be seen on the Vin 1000 record label. A completely different song by Bobby Marchan called "Chickie Wah Wah" came out in 1956. The songs bear no resemblance to one another lyrically or melodically. The fact that Marchan also sang with the Clowns has led those unfamiliar with the records to conflate the two songs and to misspell the Huey and Jerry song title as "Little Chickie Wah Wah."  Musicologists may enjoy comparing Huey and Jerry's "Little Chickee Wah Wah" with the Leadbelly Louisiana children's song "Little Sally Walker"; the derivation is obvious, and this was during a time when many children's songs were being mined for the production of rhythm and blues songs (c.f. "Walking The Dog" by Rufus Thomas, with lyrics based on the hand-clapping game "Miss Mary Mack").  -- cat yronwode, not logged in 142.254.3.133 (talk) 01:53, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
