message: A blue moon is more specific than "something that happens almost never": it's the second of two full moons that occur in the same calendar month.  This happens about once every two and a half years, on average.  (See http://www.obliquity.com/astro/bluemoon.html) Haydn01 09:13, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

message: It looks like the mentioned movie Hollywood Party with Jean Harlow has never been filmed or released. IMDB only knows of two movies named Hollywood Party, one made in 1934 with Laurel/Hardy and one made in 1937 as a short film.   80.171.18.123 20:44, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

message: This Man City website  is citing a published book stating that it was originally a Crewe Alexandra-song - as it is a second-hand source, I did not link it as a source, but it does indicate that to be true. And that is also what Wikipedia itself says on it's article on Crewe. It is also what this article originally said - it was edited to reflect the opposite without the person citing a source. As such, I was bold and edited it back.  Railwayman (talk) 18:14, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

message: "Blue Moon" is "played" by a jazz group in an apartment setting, as a scenic bridge in the film Torch Song (1953, the Joan Crawford starrer).  It is as distinct in its own arrangement as is the Marcels' 1961 doo-wop version. ````rettytetty  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rettytetty (talk • contribs) 16:41, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

message: What is the value of this massive and entirely partial list of people who have covered this standard? According to allmusic.com, there are over 4000 covers of this song; what are the criteria for this list? Everybody who does standards does Blue Moon; that's what standards are about. --jpgordon::==( o ) 14:02, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: I rather think that there is a place, or there should be a place for all covers by notable artists.  Part of the songs greatness and near universal appeal is demonstrated by such lists.   4,000 might even get us in the Guinness Book of Records.  This (removing Billie Holiday, for example)  is (opinion) a big step to take and in the words of the Ramones, I'm Against It!  Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 03:19, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

message: so I removed this section:
*"According to his widow, Richard Rodgers, the writer of the music for the song, liked The Marcels' arrangement of the piece. "He was always open to completely new sounds," she is reported to have said."The Marcels By Marv Goldberg Marv Goldberg 2006. 2009."
reading the reference, with is a blog, not always the best reference,does not clarify the issue, so let's just levae it out. Carptrash (talk) 04:28, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

message: "Over the years, "Blue Moon" has been covered by various artists" instead of "covering" it they should sing it. I don't know when this "covering" business started, but I wish it would go away.75.172.97.17 (talk) 13:53, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
