Talk:(Nothing But) Flowers

message: I don't see any evidence in the lyrics that this is "post-apolcolyptic." The only indication of how the world returned to its natural state is in the lines
:The highways and cars
:Were sacrificed for agriculture
:I thought that we'd start over
:But I guess I was wrong
Making it seem like they were intentionally converted, not through a war or something. Also, there's the constant refrain of "you got it," suggesting it was a wish that was granted. But then the protagonist finds that he misses the advancements and comforts of the modern world.
I also think the line "Once there were parking lots now it's a peaceful oasis" is intended as a counterpoint to "paved paradise to put up a parking lot" (Big Yellow Taxi).
I would re-write the lyrics paragraph to something like this:
:The lyrics describe a world where modern progress has been reverted back to a more natural state, due either to a political movement or by a necessity, such as dealing with over-population. While the protagonist may have once been in favor of the transformation, he finds himself now missing the modern conveniences and culture of the industrialized age.
:The song may be seen as a response to "Big Yellow Taxi" where "they paved paradise to put up a parking lot." In this song the parking lots and shopping malls are gone and in their place is "nothing but flowers."

message: Can any other wiki members shed some light on James Howell and the beginnings of his store? 01:10, 18 March 2007 Sheep21
The History of the store is so shamefully lacking detail that the page as currently shown, and I believe should not be published.
My interest in this is that James Howells was a major part of my life while growing up and planning my career.
My Grandfather was Chairman and my father was Managing DIrector of James Howell for many years. Together they grew the company from a small single store to a business with department stores in Newport and Swansea. They created a Motor DIvision that had 13 garages throughout South Wales, as well as becoming the main distributor for BMC for South Wales and the West of England. They were the Rolls Royce, Aston Martin and Jaguar dealers for Cardiff. The headquarters of the Motor Division was on the Newport Road. They built the bridge across Wharton street, They opened one of the largest grocery store in Cardiff at the time,  based on the Harrod's food department Model, because my father worked at Harrod's at one time, and I even started my training at Harrods with the intention of moving into Howells later in my career. In 1962 Julian Hodge and the Thorpe's made a deal that involved the exchange of shares and controlling interest in the company. The agreement was written in such a way as the two parties had different expectations and understanding. My grandfather the Chairman, A.A Thorpe. OBE, and my Father the Managing DIrector, V.F.A.Thorpe, OBE, both resigned the positions on the Board and with the company. A few years later A.A. Thorpe and Julian Hodge reconciled and A.A. Thorpe was reappointed to the Chairman of the Board while Julian Hodge had the controlling interest until about 1968. During this period the Howell family was represented by Geoffrey who was on the Board. The controlling  interest was bought by my grandfather, father and an unknown to me person (I can guess) from the Howell family starting in 1943. 
So, your History section is misrepresenting who controlled over time. My understanding is that Geoffrey Howell and the Howell family had no shares in the company at the time he was on the Board and when the Hodge takeover took place.
If there is any interest in correcting this entry then changes need to be made to include the Thorpe era.
I have just joined this group and need to read the guidelines so that I may ----  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Roythorpe (talk • contribs) 18:39, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

Talk:25 Minutes to Go

message: Someone recently changed part of the quoted lyrics from "And in 25 minutes I'll be in hell" to "And the whole town's waitin' just to hear me yell." I was familiar with Silverstein's own recording, which uses the former lyric, but it seems the Johnny Cash cover uses the latter. Unfortunately, the only sources I could find, song-lyric sites and blogs, didn't seem like they'd past muster for citations. I think it's worth pointing out the variation, if someone can come up with reliable citations. Moonreach (talk) 18:41, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

Talk:A-Ba-Ni-Bi

message: "A-Ba-Ni-Bi" is the "Bet" equivalent of the regular Hebrew word אני ani "I" only -- it would take a lot more syllables of "Bet language" to make the equivalent of the Hebrew words which could be translated as "I love you"... AnonMoos 14:27, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: True, but the lyrics in the chorus run "A-ba-ni-bi o-bo-e-bev o-bo-ta-bakh", which I'm reliably informed is the entire phrase "I love you" converted to the Bet language. That said, I don't speak Hebrew, so I may be mistaken in the belief that the phrase is something line "Ani Oev [I'm sure there's a consonant here which is missing] Otakh". Translating a song title from one language to another is rarely done exactly (witness Nena singing "99 Luftballons" in German, all of which become "red" in English, despite their colour not being mentioned in the original).

Talk:A Fine Romance (song)

message: It seems disputable to me that it was Billie Holiday was most responsible for the popularity of "A Fine Romance."  The song was introduced by Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in the movie Swing Time, which was a considerable popular success, and Astaire's recording of the song was also successful. Billie Holiday was considered a jazz singer in the 1930s rather part of  mainstream pop. I'm inclined to suspect (but with sympathy, because I love Billie Holiday more than any other pop or jazz singer) that someone has made this unverified claim out of reverence for her and her voice, but I suspect research would discover it's mistaken.
