message: For the second straight day, I just removed non-notable content, related to a high school class in Harrisburg, PA. I am going to leave a notice on Rempe's talk page, as well. Rolando (talk) 00:12, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

message: there seem to be two widely known versions of this song, one featuring Arthur Young at the Hammond Novachord (which I believe is the recording played at Walt Disney World and Disney's California Adventure) and the other features a backing band and additional vocalists. does anyone know why the Novachord version exists, and can anyone find a source to support my claim?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.49.251.170 (talk) 10:31, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Vera Lynn's original recording was from I believe 1940. It differs very much from the later rerecording she did of the song, with said later recording from sometime in the 1950s. The latter 50's rerecording is the one heard in "Dr. Strangelove" et al. The original is much simpler and lacks the chorus and orchestra and overall the jubilation of the later, and is more a somber song. Someone more knowledgeable of the era's music would likely know proper sources, but I do ask that this be edited into the article.--67.240.156.83 (talk) 05:17, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

message: The other day I heard a snatch of this song with German lyrics and presume that it was a post WW2 version. Unfortunately, I didn't catch the title (the station was on the 49 metre SW band and there was a lot of noise) but it would be good to find out more and add to the article. I've tried Google but in vain. Does anyone know?

message: The original 1939 recording is on YouTube, here: Vera Lynn - We'll Meet Again (1939 Novachord Version)
In the comment section, user Kim Damien Eriksen posted two comments providing interesting background, which someone with more time could usefully use to flesh out this article. (In particular, I was hoping to find the differences in the lyrics between original and later versions actually spelt out here.)
A little later, Kim replied to his own comment with some more information (also adding credibility to him as a source):
There you go. You can possibly imagine my disappointment to find that the Wikipedia article on the song was shorter and less informative than Kim's YouTube comment!
Update -- lyrics differences.
The main difference to the lyrics is in this verse:
Original
Later:
There may be other differences too, but work calls...!

message: Why on earth are you hellbent on removing the part on the songs appearances on tv shows? a few weeks ago I visited the songs page to figure out where i had heard it before, and found the information i was looking for in that section. And it made me happy. Wikipedia is about the end user experience. and you are not adding to it, you are ruining it.
