Talk:The Logical Song

message: Shouldn't the original and Scooter versions be seperated? I've never seen a Wikipedia page which refers to two versions (and has "information boxes") about both of them  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.151.138.33 (talk) 17:13, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've split the article into two separate articles and added disambiguation links. Article about Scooter's version is now at The Logical Song (Scooter) Twinzor (talk) 15:09, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: And then some years later it got moved back again without comment here. Is the Scooter version really a cover ? Or a separate "song" which uses the sections from the original (sped up) ? -- Beardo (talk) 04:11, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

text: There are pages which include several versions of the same song. But isn't this more like Ready_or_Not_(Fugees_song) and its original and other related songs ? -- Beardo (talk) 02:41, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Seperate the versions 

message: A version of this song appeared in an episode of The Simpsons. And I'm pretty sure it's not the original version. Does anyone have any info on this?.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yeshead (talk • contribs) 03:14, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I have rewritten the them section because as it stands it is inaccurate. Also keeping the precis closer to the lyrics themselves allows the actual themes to be picked out precisely without reading in more than is there. Brief criticism of unimproved paragraph:
The song relays (relays - that is not English!) the story of a man who comes to lose childhood's innate (who said it was innate??) innocence and idealism (Who said anything about innocence or idealism???) through pressured conformism (clumsy language). Akin to the discontent expressed by the Counterculture of the mid-1900s ("akin to" -what?? and the 1900s means 1900-1909!), the narrator of the song laments his forced transition from individuality to the norm ("the norm" - this English as a foreign language!) ("but then they sent me away to teach me how to be sensible, logical, (oh) responsible, practical"). He also loathes (loathing is not expressed) society's attempt to compromise his individuality; through (?? more EFL) a very sarcastic verse, he warns the listener to "watch what you say", or else risk being called a radical, liberal, fanatic, or criminal. He then condemns society's supposedly benevolent intentions as a thinly-veiled (where is this veiling???) excuse to promote uniformity. The song also touches on the difficulty of retaining self-image because of outside pressures (should be more precise). 62.64.208.81 (talk) 12:02, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: That's the songwriting credit. It is traditional on albums to separate co-writers with a forward slash, which is probably why the editors wrote it that way.--NukeofEarl (talk) 17:39, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  The Beatles 

message: This song article claims in the first sentence that Supertramp is a south-african band: ""The Logical Song" is a song by the South African rock band Supertramp. " However, the WP page about the band say that they are an English band, and no mentioning of relocating or other origins? I'm changing it to "English band" here in this article, since that is what the page about the band says.

replies: text: I'm also copying the location info for "Recorded" from another song of the same album. In this songs article is said South Africa, but on the other songs from the album with their own articles, it says "The village recorder los angeles, california".

thread_title:  South African band?! 

message: The two citations that support this fact are both Roger Hodgson claiming this to be true, or that people have told him that this is the case. This would seem to be hearsay at best, rather than a citation that supports the claim.
