Talk:Lay Lady Lay

message: Does anyone know if "Out on the Weekend" by Neil Young references "Lay Lady Lay"? It has the line: "She got pictures on the wall, they make me look up/ From her big brass bed." And, of course, "Lay Lady Lay" has the lyrics "lay across my big brass bed." "Lay Lady Lay" was written 1969 and "Out on the Weekend" was written in 1971.

message: It seems Bob Dylan's website [bobdylan.com|http://www.bobdylan.com/] presents the title of this song with commas, viz, "Lay, Lady, Lay". I think we should acknowledge this and change the title in all its appearances.

message: Of course, it should be "lie, lady, lie, lie across my big brass bed". Lay is a transitive verb. So what will she lay, eggs? If she is supposed to lay herself, then say it, Bob! Someone should improve the article by discussing the use of the ungrammatical in Bob's work. Tsinfandel (talk) 02:26, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

message: The fact that the Everly Brothers rejected Lay Lady Lady when Dylan played it to them isn't really disputed but the fact that they rejected it on the grounds that it was a lesbian song should probably be removed. There's no evidence to back this up anywhere that I can find and while this story is all over the internet it appears to originate on this page. Clinton Heylin, Michael Gray and Griel Marcus and Sean Wilentz all make no mention of this despite writing extensively about the song. It should probably be removed or at the very least introduced with a distinction of some kind to make it's (probable) apocryphal nature clear to the reader. It's a great story but unlikely to be true (especially since the word "man" and "he" appear frequently in the lyrics making the mistake highly unlikely)121.214.45.134 (talk) 04:51, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. I'm amazed that the quotes have been in this article for almost eight years with no citation. Here is a | Rolling Stone interview with the Everly Brothers where they say they heard the song, but weren't sure if it was being offered, and a | 1994 Pop Culture Classics interview with Don Everly where he makes a similar comment and no mention of rejecting the song. Every instance online of the Everly "quotes" from this wiki article were all made subsequent to the story being added to the page. I'm rewriting the paragraph to reflect the content of these interviews. --173.76.181.37 (talk) 00:24, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

message: The graphic with the chord symbols shows a "+" sign (which means augmented) on each major chord. "A+" = A augmented, which consists of A-C#-F. This can be corrected by removing all the the + signs, as there are no augmented chords in this song.

message: The author isn't too familiar with serious writing (as opposed to, say, the writing on the back of lp's), as we can see when he refers to "legendary country musician Johnny Cash." The term "legendary" is very out of place here.173.165.43.221 (talk) 18:32, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
