Talk:Ride a White Horse

message: To "ride the white horse" is a common reference to being high on cocaine or heroin. White horse in and of itself if a reference to both of those particular substances. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 146.235.130.52 (talk) 20:23, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I find it odd that the article correctly asserts the influence of glam acts such as T.Rex, but fails to draw the obvious similarities of this song and T.Rex's Ride A White Swan. VanTucky (talk) 04:33, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

So, on hold, but relatively easy to fix - a couple of more specific comments:
*Lead says "electronic-dance song", opening paragraph of background says "club song".  Could be confusing to the non-expert reader.
*""Ride a White Horse" is a club song that was inspired by the disco era. Alison Goldfrapp had grown up listening to T.Rex and Polish disco music.[2] Interested in the period, she based the song's lyrics around Bianca Jagger's infamous entrance into Studio 54 on a white horse.[1]" - first two sentences could flow better, and all three could do with a slight improvement to the structure.
*"The video premiered in the UK in early January 2006.[6] In 2006, the video was ..." doesn't read too well.
*Should this article really be in British English (e.g. humour, not humour) as the subject itself is a British English product?
*Ref [5] needs to be moved to other side of colon.
Nothing serious at all, so give me a shout when these have been dealt with.  Good work thus far.  The Rambling Man 12:05, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
