message: I'm assuming this is the song orchestrated by Shostakovich - the Tahiti (Fox)trot? Shouldn't this be mentioned in the article? Seems noteworthy enough.--93.166.213.4 (talk) 16:26, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

message: "The song also consists mostly of dotted eighth and quarter notes."  It seems to me, that should be dotted quarter and eighth notes.  But I confess, I only know the first couple of lines (I have no idea where it moves from one key to another).  Uporządnicki (talk) 17:06, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

message: QUOTE FROM ARTICLE PAGE: "Tea for Two" was the most played song on the Lawrence Welk TV show, with over 1000 different broadcast episodes, "Tea for Two" was played on 67 different shows due to its popularity.
I really feel this goes beyond the blanket "needs citation" message in the Uses section and should be removed until validated. I can't find any reference in my Google searching as to songs with most performances on LW, and the two sentences are ambiguous in meaning. Did the TV show have over 1000 episodes, or was the song played on 1000 episodes? Was the song played on 67 episodes of LW or was it played on 67 different TV shows? The entire thing just seems anecdotal at this point.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by CaryKen (talk • contribs) 00:23, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

message: Thurber hilariously parodied this song in one of his humorous pieces (I think it was in Further Fables for Our Time), in which a wife takes the words absurdly literally.  (For example, she says, "We can raise a family.  You can have the boy and I'll take the girl.")  The moral is, "If life went along like a popular song, every man's marriage would surely go wrong.".

message: I had to change the opening line about it being introduced in a Broadway show because it wasn't. It was introduced in 1924 Chicago, May or June. I was not prepared to revise this article, I was adding publication information of the song, which totally contradicted our narrative, so I got sucked into repair work. 
Facts Most of the songs from "No, No, Nanette" were published in May and June  1924, in two batches. Tea for Two was in the June 10 batch. According to my research, the show first played at the Garrick Theatre, Detroit, on April 21, and opened at the Harris Theatre, Chicago, on May 5, where it ran for a year. It is described in our own "No, No, Nanette" article, and how "Tea for Two" was not written until Chicago, which gives a time frame of a month for it to be introduced and finished, as indicated by it's publication on June 10. We have two actors named as introducing it, I can confirm one so far. "It was introduced in May 1924 by Louise Groody and John Barker during the Chicago pre-Broadway run of the musical No, No, Nanette" I confirm Jack Barker.
After it was published, recording artists began making their records. By the time it opened on Broadway, it was old news. I had to change that line right away. Tillywilly17 (talk) 10:16, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
