1) The lyrics are presented here in a non-commercial way, for informational purposes;
2) Their presence does not lessen the commercial value of the text. I do not think consumers of music will be less inclined to buy the song or rights to sing it because they know can read the entire lyrics here.
a) the value may be increased in that various references, obscure to contemporary audiences, are here hyperlinked for the purpose of explanation.
3) While the portion reproduced is 100%, this is not an acid test re: fair use. We're not passing the lyrics off as someone else's, and the lyrics are in total quite short, unlike a while book or even article.
4) Quoting the entire lyric is needed since the point of the article is to examine the lyric, and explain the references, which occur all throughout the lyric.
5) Using the whole lyric rather than just putting the reference words in list order is desirable because the references are most well understood with the context that the whole lyric affords.
6) The lyrics are presented here for critique and examination.

message: "When Missus Ned McLean (God bless her)
Can get Russian reds to "yes" her,
Then I suppose
Anything goes."
what is this about exactly? 'yes' her as in elect her (that would truly bizzare I guess), or allow say travel or what? 78.0.217.95 (talk) 14:30, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I've been wondering the same thing for a long time, and there's very little info to go on. Not surprisingly, the finer details of tabloid celebrity drama from 80 years ago are hard to find reliable sources on. I know she was pretty much your typical lavishly spendy old-money heiress of the Depression era: owned the Hope Diamond, threw a million dollar birthday party for her toy dog, had the obligatory unhappy, drama-filled marriage to an old-money millionaire industrialist (he owned the Washington Post) that ended in an ugly public divorce. The Russian aspect is harder to pin down; some places say she went on a tour of Leninist Russia shortly after the revolution and somehow they not only let her into the country, but also found her extremely charming when they really should have hated everything she stood for. 67.246.15.91 (talk) 11:04, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

message: This entry on the famous song has two glaring problems, neither of which I am sufficiently skilled to fix:
1)  The Tony Bennett/Lady Gaga version, which is certainly excellent, is currently discussed in a section that is far too long.  No matter how good, it is just another version.  Rather than waste all that work there can be a new wikipage devoted to their version of the song, but it shouldn't all be in the main article.
* I too agree that the Bennett / Gaga version, if it's that noteworthy, needs its own Wikipedia entry. Taking up half of this page discussing is a little odd, to say the least.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.27.190.33 (talk) 19:02, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

message: The song opens with a reference to the Massachusetts Bay Colony... I think this should say that it is a reference to Plymouth Colony. Which was separate from Mass Bay Colony until 1691. (comment from User:207.138.79.11, moved from article space) Joyous! Noise! 15:57, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
