Talk:The Devil Went Down to Georgia

message: I put in new headlines and reorganised the article a bit, but I dunno if I should remove the cleanup tag or not.  The page needs a song info box, I think...but I wouldn't know how to put one of those up.  --Gromreaper 03:56, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Cleanup

message: I tossed in an infobox, but I know very little about the single, so I couldn't add much. I'd appreciate anything anyone can add in.
Also, we can't have the lyrics there like we did. The Son Of Nothing 15:49, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Should there not be some reference to the song being A) Used in the movie Coyote Ugly (film) as the main bar song, but more importantly that this is one song that every Coyote Ugly Saloon bar uses for the girls to get on the bar and do their routine? I think it's worthy of the recognition. Don't you?? Timclare (talk) (sign here) 02:28, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Since I was reverted, I'll go here. Please cite those sections, and show how they are important to this article. Otherwise, they will be removed per WP:V and WP:TRIVIA. seresin | wasn't he just...? 00:35, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I more or less second this, except I wouldn't be too hasty flat out removing them. Obliterating them will only serve to offend and aggravate the regular editors and I don't want to see edit warring here. As it stands, the tags should stay, if no improvement or attempt to trim, prune, integrate, or improve said sections is seen, then we should consider deleting the most trivial parts flat out.

text: I concur with the sentiment expressed above.  There is some good information in these sections that I would hate to see removed and should remain in the article in some form, but in its present form it has too much.  It needs to be pared down, and some of the less important or more tenuous entries removed, and these three sections combined into one or two.  At a minimum, the Covers and the Adaptations sections look like they could be combined.  --Mwalimu59 (talk) 06:02, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Very little of the content in the sections I listed is relevent. In addition, it is not cited. seresin | wasn't he just...? 01:56, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Covers/Adaptations/Parodies Sections 

message: I've heard a song on the radio called "Manuel Went Down to Georgia," a parody cover likening the devil to illegal immigration, and I think it deserves a mention here. However, I wasn't able to find any additional information, such as who made it, so I don't know if it can go in. Dukeofwulf (talk) 17:27, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cover, additional information needed 

message: It's growing and taking on a life of its own again...now as long as the whole rest of the article. Do we really need to include every non-notable song by non-notable musician who has made reference of this original? I propose as a minimum guideline for inclusion that there must be notability, as demonstrated by bluelink, for the artist. If a band isn't verfiably notable at all, it's not notable for its use of TDWDtG either. Thoughts? DMacks (talk) 20:59, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. Even though I'm a trivia geek I think that the "References in Pop Culture" sections of many wikipedia articles are overblown and perhaps unnecessary. Do we really need to know that Peter Griffin whistled half a bar of a particular song in an episode of family guy, or that you can hear it playing in the background of a particular movie scene for three seconds? Someone commented in the discussion section of another artice that South Park had parodied everything...it doesn't really add anything to say that such and such was mentioned on south park. And you could add The Simpsons and Family Guy and Robot Chicken. I love animation, but it does seem to induce a geeky obsession with minutiae.PurpleChez (talk) 12:47, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Other versions and parodies" again 

message: If we're going to note covers, shouldnt Primus be acknowledged? Their version complete with elaborate stop motion animated video is probably the best known cover of the song. Im curious why it isnt mentioned anywhere in this article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.151.150.18 (talk) 23:12, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

message: I've deleted a large proportion of the Musical references section, as it appears to be original research. Until it can be shown (with sources) that Daniels consciously based the lines on lyrics from these other songs, the removed paragraphs do not belong in the article ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 14:37, 16 July 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I was listening to Paul Shaffer's day in rock on 97x, Moline Illinois and he said that this song actually uses an electric viola rather than a fiddle as what is mentioned in the song. Anyone have any info to back this up? I tried google and got nowhere. Jakob9999 (talk) 13:50, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fiddle or Electric Viola 

message: I posted a link earlier, which got reverted; I won't restore it, but it's a cover under a standard mechanical license afaik (I remember the performer mentioned that he uploads his stuff through DistroKid which handles that).  I put it on the talk page because I thought the usual standard for including in the article was a secondary source showing notability, which might show up through web searches (now or later) and I haven't tried to research it to any extent.  Looking at the existing cover list, though, several are similar direct youtube links.  So I'm inclined to add this one: it's an all-instrumental bass-focused cover that's very listenable.  I'm not aware of a concept of a verified youtube channel and I don't see any indication that the existing ones are verified.  I just don't see any reason to suspect a copyright issue here. 2602:24A:DE47:BB20:50DE:F402:42A6:A17D (talk) 06:07, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

message: There's no mention that this song is a cover of "reel du diable" recorded at least as far back as 1960 https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean Carignan https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=iEh-ZETrGYg&feature=share and is folklore music in Québec. However it starts by saying the melody was composed in 1975 which is wrong.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gxtaillon (talk • contribs) 15:59, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
