thread_title:  Urban Legend 

message: Here's an oddity for you: shortly after Undercover's version was a UK hit, Pete Waterman was claiming that if you counted all the compilations it was licensed to, it had more copies sold than any other record in UK music history. I'm pretty sure he was talking bollocks, though - what about all the christmas songs that turn up on dozens of different (but strangely similar) themed compilations year after year? Still, it's an almost interesting look at, um, something. The twisted mind of Pete Waterman, probably. -88.110.3.223 17:06, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:BakerStreetPromo.jpg

message: I would think (correct me if I'm wrong) that "adult contemporary" is an American concept and that this song was British, and so I don't see the connection.  I guess it would currently and in the USA be primarely played on "adult contemporary" stations, but I can't believe that was the originally intended target audience, as the article seems to imply.--70.90.48.125 02:54, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Good point - and we didn't have anything like 'adult contemporary' radio in Britain in the '70s, we had Radio 1, and Radio 2, and that was about it. DuncanHill 23:38, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Bumper song? 

message: Incredible that there's such a long article about this song without even one word about what the song is ABOUT. Qworty (talk) 21:49, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  So just what the heck is this song about? 

message: "A readers' poll conducted by Rolling Stone in 2008 placed it among the "100 greatest guitar songs of all time", and established artists covered it in the 1990s and 2000s."
These are  2 facts that have nothing in common. I would suggest breaking it into 2 sentences. Agreed? Kvsh5 (talk) 06:49, 25 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cumbersome sentence 

message: A sentence in the article reads "In 2006, the Australian company Raven Records released Days Gone Down: The Anthology 1970-1982, with the 1978 mix restored to its correct speed as heard on City to City." Restored? What does this mean? The 1978 album mix never went anywhere. The album has been easily available on CD for years. How can they say that the mix was "restored" if it was never removed to begin with? Looks like just another inclusion of the song on a compilation, and one hardly worthy of any mention.

thread_title:  Restored? 

message: While the credited musician is Henry Spinetti, a video on youtube of a studio session of this song shows someone who looks very much like Liam Genockey at the drums.  Can anyone shed some light on whether this was an outtake or merely a rehearsal?  -Onceler (talk) 09:50, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The Mike Dollar interview with Spinetti cited in the article makes it clear that it was him on the record. And that's definitely Genockey in the video. I guess Spinetti just wasn't around when that video was made, but Genockey was. Martinevans123 (talk) 19:11, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
