Talk:Roxanne (The Police song)

message: This is the second time in a week that I've removed details of an eponymous drinking game from this article.  In fact, the drinking game had its very own article, but it was nominated for deletion and received a unanimous delete vote - the stand-alone article is now gone, and this article should have no mention of the drinking game.  
Frat boys, if you must, just put a sentence about it in the drinking games article.  That's the only place it conceivably belongs, and even then only with a cite.
Look here for the results of the delete vote: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Roxanne_%28drinking_game%29_%282nd_nomination%29  BlackberryLaw 17:05, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I think that this article and Roxanne (drinking game) should be merged, as the latter doesn't warrant it's own article, and if it was reworded it could fit into this one nicely. Master of Puppets Giant Enemy Crab! 20:22, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I remember Eddie Murphy singing Roxanne by The Police in the movie 48 hours with Nick Nolte. He is in a jail cell sort of singing it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:2000:69A2:E000:60C0:87F8:97AE:684 (talk) 03:16, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

message: I think there should be a section dedicated to its references in tv and movies. EX: it was used in the American tv show Community in the episode Remedial Chaos Theory. Jerry Steinfield (talk) 05:16, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

message: I recently listened to Fall Out Boy's first album and I was surprised to hear their cover of the song. I am shocked to see that it's not mentioned here? Does it not count as a cover? TheForsaken99 (talk) 17:45, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The guideline WP:SONGCOVER sets a high bar to inclusion. If the media commented specifically on this cover version then we can summarize what they said. Binksternet (talk) 17:51, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
