Talk:I'll Be There for You (The Rembrandts song)

message: Is it just me or does the Friends theme sound suspiciously similar to "Pleasant Valley Sunday" by The Monkees??? Lee M 18:41, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)

message: Who cares about what foreign radio stations played the song?  It's an American song for an American TV show.
* You mean a US song for a US television show? OK. The Friends franchise draws in over one billion USD per year even to this day - from around the world. It's globally appreciated - unlike comments like yours. Brett Alexander Hunter (talk) 04:51, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

message: "I'll Be There For You" is likely the name of many songs (and who knows, maybe even other works?), one of the most well known being Bon Jovi's, which was released on their 1988 album New Jersey.  Bon Jovi's "I'll Be There For You" was a much bigger hit, reaching #1 in the United States and charting high in several other countries.  I was directed here when I tried to click on their song.
I think when one clicks on the phrase in question, one should see a disambiguation page.  And this page should be renamed "I'll Be There For You" (Rembrandts) and the other pages with the same phrase will be labeled with its artist in brackets accordingly.  68.73.116.66 01:27, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Can I just raise a query with a word in this article?  The text states that the song was not released as a single, as record producers "feared it would cannibalize album sales".
What is meant here by the word "cannibalize"?  Does it mean "reduce", "harm", or "detract from"?  If so then I am not sure this is the best word to use here.  Or am I misinterpreting this word in the context?

message: I was looking through the history of the article and I happened to notice that someone deleted a reference to Denny Fongheiser playing on the song.
Comparison between versions
This intrigued me a little so I did a little looking around and found the following:
On Thursday Denny Fongheiser stepped in on percussion. Denny’s credits certainly speaks for themselves.  Denny has performed and recorded with Tracy Chapman, Bruce Springsteen, Heart, Seal, Counting Crows, Freddie Mercury, and Peter Frampton.  Denny played drums on the recording of the “Friends” television show theme song composed by the Rembrandts.  Needless-to-say, his skillful percussion was a tasteful addition to the eclectic mix of artists and instruments.Prairie Sun Recording. "Will Ackerman, formerly of Windham Hill Records, and engineer Corin Nelsen, recording with his tribe of Imaginary Road artists" March 12, 2010
Italics are mine. I also found another reference in Innovative Percussion:
Just a few of Denny’s credits include Heart, Tracy Chapman (including her mega hit Fast Car), Counting Crows (including the hit Mr. Jones), Seal, Peter Frampton, John Paul Jones, Bruce Springsteen, Roger Waters, Boy Meets Girl, Shawn Colvin, Freddy Mercury, The Lion King soundtrack, Tom Cochrane, B’z, Maeda Nobuteru, T-Bone Burnett and was the drummer on I’ll Be There For You, the mega-hit theme for the hit TV show Friends. The list goes on. He is currently preparing and will be the drummer for the highly anticipated Heart tour, reuniting Rock legends/sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson in their long awaited reunion.Innovative Percussion.

Any other thoughts on the subject. Should Denny Fongheiser receive a mention in the main article somewhere? Is there more to this story than meets the eye?

replies: text: I removed the statement because the source attributed to the claim does not mention him. According to the liner notes, which you can view here, Pat Mastelotto plays drums on the single version. What I'm assuming is that Fongheiser played drums on the original one-minute version, but that's speculation that none of the sources confirm. It might be worth mentioning him without introducing original research. ResPM (T🔈 🎵C) 11:55, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

text: Thanks for your insights.  I thought there must be more to the story that I was missing.  I'm not going to worry any more about it. I think the fact that we have mentioned it here on the talk page is enough. If someone else has any other references that can shine some light on the subject, then go ahead.
