Talk:Bow Wow Wow

message: Over the years I've realized that (at least some) BWW tunes are lifted from popular world music; I've never been able to find a list of the progenitors.  I'll start it, maybe someone knows much more:
*See Jungle - A miriam Makeba song, heard it on Afropop 20 years ago, don't know name
*I'll sacrifice you - A Kaetano Veloso (sp)song, forgotten name.
*Of course, I Want Candy is a cover
Any more info would be a tasty treat to this page on a tasty band.
-BO
In about 1987, I was sitting in my kitchen, listening to the radio, when a recording came on of an acapella men's chorus, singing some African song.  At first, I thought nothing of it, but then I realized that the melody matched BowWowWow's See Jungle, and the words, although not English, bore a remarkable similarity to that same song.  But I'd missed the information on who, what, etc.  Ever since, I've wondered about that song.  Then, while looking up BowWowWow, just for fun, I saw BO's mention of Miriam Makeba.  A search turned up mention of
*Mahotella Queens - Umculo Kawupheli, from 1974.
It's a perfect match, right down to the guitar intro in the version that I found on youtube. -rpking  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rpking (talk • contribs) 22:04, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Just a small edit to the albums, Last of the Mohicans was an EP in 1982.
This is correct as far as official albums go.
There are quite a few compilations for Bow Wow Wow but these were the actual releases that came out at the time.
As a side note, The ones to get if you're a fan and can't get the proper albums are Girl Bites Dog (Cassette Pet tracks plus first single c30 and a couple of rare tracks), Anthology (A best of with the singles and some live tracks), and the Wild in the USA cd for the remixes and more live tracks.

message: The graf beginning "Lwin's mother.." reads sort of incomplete, like it needs to be qualified with a year or some context.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.127.59.90 (talk) 01:57, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

message: Can anybody confirm whether the member of this group really is the same Dave Calhoun who is CEO of Neilsen?
If he is, the fact ought to be mentioned on that page.  If not, the link needs to be either removed or changed to a suitable disambiguated title. — Smjg (talk) 16:26, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

message: "(The photo was originally to be used for 1981's See Jungle! See Jungle! Go Join Your Gang, Yeah. City All Over! Go Ape Crazy, and the cover was used as planned in some European countries – such as the Netherlands – though not in the UK or the US versions of the album.)"
I bought the album in the UK around the time it was released and it has the "controversial" cover. Yaguchi (talk) 04:01, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  The name 

message: Annabellalwin, who may be the former singer of band or her representative, appears to be making disruptive edits that are clearly in conflict of interest, including what appear to be deliberate changes of former members' surnames for no apparent reason. Wikipedia must not take sides in what seems to be a bitter band dispute and must just state the facts as shown in sources. Just noting this in case these disruptive edits continue.Greg Fasolino (talk) 18:43, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
