replies: text: I guess that finding something is difficult. I call this whole thing wikilawyering. YOu did find the video, or do you need help with that as well. It still makes it a unique resource. Just for that. And this whole way of arguing is wikilawyering, since we are talking about interpretation of details of "things normally to be avoided." That makes it your so called rule against an official site so incredible weak that it becomes an example of wikilawyer were your interpretation is used to push through your idea of how things you should done despite any clear rule. And you accuse people of violating a rule and start edit wars instead of discussion. The video and lyrics make it a resource and everything else is interpretation based on wikilawyering. Therefore the bottom line is that link stays since it IS ALLOWED. KittenKlub 05:31, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

message: It would be useful to add the time signature of the song to the article.  192.250.34.161 (talk) 21:31, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Not sure why, especially considering that it is in common time according to this site and the sample of sheet music that can be seen here. Only if its time signature were more unusual or changing it might merit mention at all.--Florian Blaschke (talk) 20:50, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

message: Please note : There is a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Songs/coverversions with the purpose of trying to establish a standard rule for merge/separate different versions of the same song. Please make known your opinions on the matter. --Richhoncho (talk) 12:33, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

message: Has anyone noticed that in the movie called "To Kill a Mockingbird" from year 1962 one kid performs same dance like the Bangles in their song. When his sister asks him what's he doing he replies:"I'm walking like an Egyptian"
It means that Liam Sternberg statement where from he's got inspiration for a song is a lie. Or this is extraordinary coincidence only?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.138.141.141 (talk) 22:22, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

message: I deleted all the cover versions per WP:SONGCOVER which says that each cover version should be notable by itself, discussed in sources that discuss the song, and it should be a successful recording on its own, not just album filler. The guideline SONGCOVER is a fairly high bar; most of Wikipedia's song articles violate it with crufty lists of songs that don't merit inclusion. I looked through books and articles about "Walk Like an Egyptian" and none of the cover versions in our list were mentioned. Thus, they all fail the guideline and must be removed.
A song cover that is notable by itself would be something like The Clash singing "I Fought The Law" or Eric Clapton singing "I Shot the Sheriff". Binksternet (talk) 17:46, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I've got no argument that the songs you deleted generally wouldn't be considered notable enough for a standalone section, e.g. Last Christmas#Whigfield version or Last Christmas#Ashley Tisdale. The list you deleted was the equivalent of Last Christmas#Other cover versions. If you can interpret WP:SONGCOVER to prohibit such lists, it's the guideline that requires changing, as it doesn't reflect standard practice.—Kww(talk) 18:00, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I started a discussion of the guideline's application at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Songs#Guideline_WP:SONGCOVER_is_a_high_bar. I invite everyone to weigh in there. Binksternet (talk) 18:36, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
