thread_title: Variants

message: Is it relevant that the melody of the national anthem of Morocco really fits the Western stereotype of music from Arab cultures? (For the anthem, see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgSbF0LzGNY&feature=related.) Like the Asian riff, these are demonstrable stereotypes, like it or not.... --Dpr (talk) 11:14, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't the original lyrics be put up? It seems to be on the above webpage (I'm not sure if that's truly the original, though).
I usually associate this song with a cartoon of an Egyptian dancer, like so: .
I think it is used in some children's cartoons/computer games.

message: The line “Even though New York was once New Amsterdam” in the song “Istanbul” by TMBG seems to mirror the opening of this song. Can anyone confirm this?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.150.110.169 (talk) 15:37, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

message: I get that they're easy to verify, but without citations (someone provided an analysis somewhere) we're doing Original Research here.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.211.58.37 (talk) 00:51, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah maybe they should have citations. "Sixteen Tons" by Merle Haggard came out in 1989 (according to Spotify) not in 1946, like it says in the article. Merle Haggard was born in 1937 so he would have been 9 at the time. Also I listened to the song and it doesn't have the riff in it. I am going to remove "Sixteen Tons" from the list. Potentially there are other songs on the list with inaccuracies. Indigotwelve (talk) 04:36, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Citations for all the songs listed 

message: This riff is featured from 2:45 through 2:57. Can it be added to the list? Only instrumental version, though.

Or are the lyrics too late for MLF?
