message: Benny Benassi remixed this song, someone write anything about it  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.198.23.235 (talk) 17:17, August 25, 2007 (UTC) 
Benny Benassi did NOT have anything to do with the song... online copies of the Royal Gigolos' original bootleg cover version have been credited to Benassi, when it is actually the Gigolos. Benassi had NOTHING to do with the track online, or the version the Gigolos released with a new chorus.

message: I really like the flute solo in this song by Bud Shank.  How does it work for listing the writers of a song if someone writes a part of it?  Is the list of writers determined by an original copyright or is it decided by a certain procedure or guided by simplicity?   I am guessing it is not an uncommmon occurrence for different people to write different parts of a song.  I would vote to include Bud Shank as a songwriter.

replies: text: I would disagree.  I can maybe see your analogy to applying to mixing a song but not to writing a significant part of the song.  Synesthetic (talk) 14:25, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: It's only "significant" because you like it. Good luck on finding the answer you want.  - Mlpearc (open channel) 14:31, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: That's not true.  There are a lot of people who like the solo which makes it a significant part of the song.  I do however believe there is more creativity involved in writing the notes in the solo than in 'mixing the batter'.  Regarding finding the answer to the question, the best I could find was from the Wikipedia Songwriter article which mentions that many 'phantom' co-writers are not given credit because once they are given credit it is very hard to remove them.  It seems the practice is to choose to possibly error on the side of not giving credit when it is not clear what to do.  Synesthetic (talk) 14:48, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, it all boils down to, if there is not a reliable source that gives separate credit to "who wrote the flute part", then it's not includable. Happy editing,  - Mlpearc (open channel) 14:55, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Fair enough, 'there is not a reliable source that gives separate credit' is a perfectly acceptable answer to me.  Synesthetic (talk) 15:04, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
