Talk:'39

message: I strongly suspect that the song is speeded up half a tone, as opposed to having been recorded in Ab originally.

message: I'm pretty sure the lyrics quoted here are wrong, and I'm going to change them. I posted this on the reference desk yesterday and got a response: 
:'39
:In the article for the song '39 by Queen, it says the lyrics include, "your mother's eyes in your eyes/cry to me...All my life/still ahead/pity me!" I've been listening to my recording of the song over and over again, and I'm pretty sure they're "from your eyes" and "For my life". Can I get a confirmation on this?

replies: text: [link to copyvio website removed], [link to copyvio website removed], and [link to copyvio website removed] agree with you. But [link to copyvio website removed] is the only one on the the first page of a google search that returned that it said "Your mother's eyes in your eyes cry to me." All of them, however, agree with you on the "for my life" part. schyler 03:09, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

message: The velocity calculated here (to produce the required dilation effect) seems to be based on the speed of light being 300,000,000 m/s. Would it not make more sense to use the exact value of c (299,792,458 m/s)? In this case the desired volocity would be 299777468 m/s. (As it stands, the velocity is greater than that of the exact speed of light and may upset some of the more 'picky' readers, myself included :D ) Oatzy 20:10, 08 December 2006 (GMT)
:I tend to agree. Either remove the speed reference and leave the multiplayer of 'c' only or give a precise speed. Don't see the point this way. I'm going to fix the number, and if you prefer exclude it, as it was in the prev. version. Donny 17:30, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Express it as a fraction of c, and wikilink that to speed of light.--feline1 17:44, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: agreed. it is good enough as it is now. 99% is fair to show the reader an idea about this, we don't need all of the mega numbers, but we definitely didn't need mega numbers that were wrong. And yes, noone says that the travel was "exactly" 100 years. it is probably more of a figure of speach. Donny 19:28, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Possible copyright problem 

message: OK, pure speculation time. I love this song, but one thing I don't get. In the second verse, Brian sings "... little darling we'll away, but my love this cannot be..." His plans with his "little darling" and especially his expression of disbelief in the next line imply the volunteers were not aware of the phenomenon of time dilation. That would mean either (1) the people who ran the mission didn't know about it or (2) they knew it, but didn't tell the volunteers about it. The first seems unlikely, while the second is disturbing and, frankly, unbelievable. Surely they would tell the volunteers, which doesn't mean there would be no takers: the planned Mars One mission got over four thousand volunteers even though they'd never return to Earth. I wonder which of these options Brian had in mind when he wrote it.﻿ Fool4jesus (talk) 14:28, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

message: The article claims that when the band met Groucho Marx, they "performed "'39" a cappella". The source cited is a book called Queen: The Ultimate Illustrated History of the Crown Kings of Rock, which I don't own. But in this video, Roger Taylor states that Groucho gave them a guitar, which would imply that they weren't performing a cappella. What in the book lead to the article saying that it was a cappella, and which source would be more verifiable?
