Talk:Coming Up (song)

message: According to who? Yeah, the song has a very happy jovial mood to it and his vocals have some reverbs and slight effects on them, but nothing I view as overtly humorous or out of place for an 80's song.

thread_title: "Humorously Processed" Vocals

message: While Paul McCartney was at the time of the "Coming Up" vid and remains a huge Buddy Holly fan, my understanding was the bespectacled guitarist he is miming in "Coming Up" was not Holly but Hank Marvin of The Shadows. I've heard McCartney made mention of this, and would also note that the swiveling business he does is in line with Shadows' performances I've seen.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.86.49.228 (talk) 03:36, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm the one that added the list from the Billboard book including Buddy Holly, but I'd always believed that the guitarist was intended to be Hank Marvin, just as you did.  However, just stating that would be an opinion, so I didn't make any reference to Marvin in the article, and I hadn't been able to find a definitive source refuring the Billboard claims.  Today, though, I found the McCartney quote naming Hank Marvin in the SNL interview and have referenced that to refute the Holly claim. - AyaK (talk) 00:00, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Proposed merge with [[Lunch Box/Odd Sox]] 

message: It's odd that the article says "according to McCartney, it prompted Lennon to return to recording in 1980" when McCartney obviously just heard that second-hand, specifically Frederic Seaman's book Living On Borrowed Time. Seaman was there when John heard the song for the first time on the radio, so we might as well go with the original source. Pawnkingthree (talk) 22:50, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Influence on Lennon 

message: Maybe worth mentioning that the Tripping The Live Fantastic and Knebworth versions (both recorded in 1990) incorporate (aside from some James Brown samples) Pick Up the Pieces by the Average White Band, due to the fact that Hamish Stuart was in the AWB.
