thread_title: Copyright violation

message: My school choir performed selections from You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown when I was in high school, and I distinctly remember a number where militaristic music is played as Snoopy recites a monologue about being a World War I flying ace and engaging the Red Baron in aerial combat.  (I dare say I remember that accurately--I played Snoopy!)  The sheet music and lyrics for "Snoopy vs. the Red Baron" came from the same book as the rest of the selections we performed, and all of the others are listed in this article (the title song, "Schroeder", "Glee Club Rehearsal", and "Happiness").  So where is "Snoopy vs. the Red Baron"? - Pennyforth 06:57, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There are a number of differences between the later version and the original.  I'm not sure that they are all bad, but as a former Charlie Brown, all I can say is . . .*sigh* . . .I'm going to go drown my sorrows in a haircut. 68.178.65.194 01:37, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Snoopy vs. the Red Baron? 

message: The title song was parodied by the Dukes of Stratosphear on the album Psonic Psunspot as "You're A Good Man Albert Brown (Curse You Red Barrel)".  The song recounts the latter days of a World War I soldier; not so much a flying ace as a shell-shocked survivor.  Asat 01:22, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Happiness is a worn poppy 

message: We need to find published sources to use to flesh out the section about the revival. The Sally Brown part was created for Kristin Chenoweth specifically, which is a notable element. Lawikitejana 14:00, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Very little about the revival 

message: Considering the impact the original stage production had and the fact that for three decades it was the one performed in stock, school productions, and community theater, shouldn't it take precedence over the revival in the article? Simply describing the characters, songs, and synopsis of the revival without doing the same for the original version is a bit akin to George Lucas insisting Greedo was always meant to have shot first...ChrisStansfield 01:58, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I do agree that the original production of the show should probably be given a bit more attention than it currently receives in this article.  However, I'm sure that many editors (myself included) are much more familiar with more recent productions of the show, which is probably why that seems to be the focus of this article (most of my personal knowledge of the show comes from this article and the soundtrack to the 1999 Broadway revival).  Still, I don't think that the differences between the productions are too terribly great, so I doubt the article needs a total rewrite or anything, maybe just some additional information in certain sections.  If you're familiar with the original production, or can find some sources providing further information about the differences between the productions, feel free to add to the article. —Mears man (talk) 20:10, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Here's a good reference for the differences between the original and revised productions from Tams-Witmark: . I don't have the time to do any work on this article. (Just a quick reading of the comments by Clark Gesner in the Tams-Witmark article seems to show that there was quite a bit that was changed: "All the music and dialogue for the show has been reworked; it is not just the same thing with two new songs. All the show's incidental music, dance music, vocal arrangements and orchestrations are brand new..." And of course there is the new character of Kristin-oops-Sally.

thread_title:  Original version 

message: Does anyone have a source for the vocal ranges of the various characters in this musical?  I stumbled upon a bit of a debate on YouTube as to what the desired vocal range for the character of Snoopy was.  Some were saying that Snoopy was supposed to be a baritone, citing Wikipedia as their source, while others insisted that Snoopy was supposed to be a tenor and that Wikipedia was wrong on the matter.  I checked the article and saw that no sources were cited, so I tagged them as needing references.  Can anyone help to clear up this matter? —Mears man (talk) 18:27, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm pretty sure that Snoopy is supposed to be a tenor. Hmm. I have a copy of the score at home and I'll take a look at it when I can; I'm at work now. AJD (talk) 19:13, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Here we are. The ranges are given as follows. Sally: B below middle C to second A-flat above middle C. Lucy: G below middle C to second F above middle C. Snoopy: C below middle C to A above middle C. Schroeder: second B-flat below middle C to A-flat above middle C. Charlie Brown: second B-flat below middle C to F above middle C. Linus: second B-flat below middle C to E above middle C. By ordinary understandings of vocal ranges, this makes Sally a soprano, Lucy a mezzo-soprano, Snoopy and Schroeder tenors, and Charlie Brown and Linus baritones. I'll correct the article.

thread_title: Vocal range

message: I was trying to disambiguate this page, but I am not sure what to do with John Gordon.  I do not beleive that he already has an article, but there has to be a way to refer to him without using the disambig. page.  I was thinking about adding something (like this) afterwards, but I don't know what I should put there exactly.--Mynameisnotpj (talk) 03:55, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  John Gordon 

message: I'm wiki limited, so I just roughly added a "Clark Gesner" section to the article. He wrote the lyrics and music for the whole original production, so, certainly he deserves significant meniton in the YAGMCB article--not to mention a separate entry in Wikipedia.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.65.106.215 (talk) 13:01, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Clark Gesner 

message: This note appears at the end of the current article's song section:  "Note: "Queen Lucy" and "Peanuts Potpourri", which were featured numbers in act two in the original productions, were cut from the revival."  Shouldn't the list show the songs of the original production with a note referencing which songs were cut or added for the revival, rather than the reverse? --Thomprod (talk) 19:14, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Song list 

message: I remember having a record (I think) of "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown" recording that had as a cast member Kaye Ballard as Lucy.  Does anyone know more about this?  Thanks!Jtyroler (talk) 07:12, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I think I had (probably still do) the same record you're talking about; I too remember Kaye Ballard as Lucy. But this is just a Peanuts recording based on some of the strips (like much of the musical). It's not in any way related to the musical show. (Except of course for "Peanuts".)
