Talk:The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down

message: "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down" is a copyrighted song. You cannot reprint the lyrics in their entirety without permission from WB Music Corp, the song's publisher.  --FuriousFreddy (talk) 04:17, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lyrics removed. 

message: There is a version of that song, arranged by Sy Oliver and recorded for Decca as early as June 15, 1937, by the Jimmie Lunceford Orchestra. I am not sure, though, if that is the prima assoluta on 10", because it's such an unlikely choice of material for this group to make. It sounds as though they were parodying somebody else's  version, but I can't think of anyone in particular other than Looney Tunes – it seems somewhat improbable that song and series were already connected in the public's mind at such an early point. Stanley Dance comments on the interpretation (the humor of which, I think, derives mainly from the ridiculously slow pace at which the song is taken): "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down was a preposterous choice for what was (...) one of the hottest bands in the country. (...) This hilarious performance must have momentarily shocked them [=Lunceford's audience at the Renaissance Ballroom] because Oliver deliberately exaggerated the the number's corny character in such a way that the childlike noises emanating from the handsome, smartly uniformed musicians suddenly became very comic." --Rainer Lewalter (talk) 10:49, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[Jimmie Lunceford]]'s version 

message: "In 1963, a new atonal variation of the theme was arranged by William Lava ..."
This is not true. It's not atonal. This myth is perpetuated by Wikipedia and other sources, but it obviously originated with someone who did not know what "atonal" means. Although Lava's version of the tune is clearly more dissonant than previous versions, it is also clearly tonal, not atonal. Atonal has a specific meaning; it's not just another way of describing dissonance. Unless someone can cite an actual reliable source, actually making a case that it's atonal, I will re-word the article. As it stands, it's incorrect.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.196.206.59 (talk) 14:48, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Rites of Passage (Indigo Girls album)

message: One of the major limitations of Wikipedia is its inability to deal with issues of taste, criticism, and value. In holding to the neutral point of view -- perhaps the only feasible stance possible for a completely open editing environment -- it becomes impossible to say something like this:
Rites of Passage is a brilliant, varied, balanced, and superbly executed album, probably their best, and should rank with the great musical works of the 90s.
Seems to me that's one of the more interesting things to say about an album; much more interesting than the track listing. And yet... and yet... unsigned comment by Jmax on 13:56, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Explanations 

message: There seem to be a few errors in the grid. First of all, the declaration above the grid says that "aleph" is transliterated "ꜣ" yet in the grid it's mostly "3". Then, the glyph for "3b", U23 is listed twice, second time between "mr" and "mḥ". Is there a good reason for this?
Also, the second "mı͗" is listed in the end, between "ṯ3" and "dı͗", but should probably be listed between "mı͗" and "mw".
While it seems that any transliteration scheme could be used, be it ascii or unicode, this article is just all over place.

Talk:Hector McNeil

message: There were two individuals called Hector McNeil who were Labour Councillors in Glasgow at about the same time and this seems to be causing some confusion. I think the Galloway and Kelvingrove candidate referenced in Craig was the elder, who is not the subject of this article. The Times House of Commons 1929 states the Hector McNeil who stood in Galloway had been a Councillor for four years so was elected in 1925 - Hector McNeil who became the Scottish Secretary would have been 18 at that time, and ineligible to stand for office. From the Times House of Commons entries in 129, 1931 and 1935 the other was President of the Glasgow Trades Council - I am unsure if the subject of this article was.

Talk:General Hospital (Blackadder)

message: The trivia section indicated that Blackadder mentioned the University of Hull, which did not exist during WWI. I've heard many people point this out as an anachronism, but they've completely missed the point. Blackadder mentions Cambridge, Oxford, and Hull. Any real British person, unless they were a complete idiot, would know there was no University of Hull. The fact that Mary did not know this is what proved to him that she was not British. (The fact that the General did not know this merely proves that he is an idiot, or at least so stuck on his knee-jerk Cambridge-Oxford rivalry that he didn't notice the rest of the list.) 
The fact that there is now a University of Hull, and that it is a dump, is part of the joke, but irrelevant to the internal logic of the story.
