Talk:Why Don't We Do It in the Road?

message: :I don't think this song inspired Revolution 9 as Revolution 9 was one of the first songs recorded for the album, and this song was not recorded until much later in the sessions. Not sure, but pretty sure. :-) - 5percent4nothing, 7/1/06
:I think this is by far the Beatles' best song. --129.186.18.61 
:I agree its blues/soul. just because its not the same as every other song they ever did, doesnt mean its the worst. i love it. --Jaysscholar 02:12, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

message: I've heard the quote before, but never as a sarcastic comment.  I think Lennon actually DID consider this his favorite.  We even follow it up with "it inspired Lennon", so let's at least get a citation on this quote.  Rob 16:33, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lennon quote 

message: Does anyone else feel that this article, written about a Paul McCartney song, is kinda anti-john Lennon? If this is seen as the case by others, I suggest an article wide rewrite to remove all anti-Lennon POV statements.

message: I removed the material that was added below, but feel free to re-add the information contained if you can verify it and rewrite it in an formal tone of voice.
Actually , the song is about the Abbey Road sleeve photo session . Paul is barefoot to get it done ... now !!
John , having an attention span of about 60 seconds , at that point .
The song's 'nobody will be watching us ' refers to the mid-afternoon status of 1968 Abbey Road .

thread_title:  Edited 

message: There is speculation that the positioning of the song is a subtle joke, providing a question and an answer with the next track, "I Will". This has been done by other bands, notably Weezer on  The Green Album, where the song "Hash Pipe" is followed by " Island in the Sun".
Bolded section removed...I may be dense, but I'm failing to recognize how the two Weezer songs referenced comprise a similar Q:/A: scenario.  Assuming it's just a gratuitous attempt by someone to insert refs to their favorite band into unrelated articles. Anazgnos 19:51, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Uh, What?

message: The CD version of the White Album lists this song's title as "Why don't we do it in the road?", making only the first word capitalized. Is it the same on other versions? --334 16:51, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Disagree — On the label of the original U.S. LP, all the song titles are shown in all uppercase characters. Should we move all the songs to match those names? No. Album and song names as listed on covers and labels are subject to artistic decisions about typography by the recording artist and also the cover designer. The design extends to upper/lower casing of the names and may or may not match what the songwriter intended, what the publisher has, etc. Official discographies are usually a better guide, but again, there will be variations. Wikipedia has a guideline (policy?) that helps avoid this mess: article names for songs and albums are upper/lowercased according to Wikipedia style rules. Therefore, the article is named properly, in my opinion. — John Cardinal 04:34, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Confused, here ; I listed a cover that I believed was worth mentioning (under the already existing section appropriately titled "cover versions,") with the correct internal links where due and everything. I'm confused as to what the next edit altogether removed the whole section for ?
Last time I checked, tens of thousands of song pages have a "covers" section, which, in many cases, is as relevant and valuable information as any (unless, of course, we're talking about someone's highschool karaoke band.)
Is this a nomenclature thing ? I want to simply reinstate the change but that strikes me as slightly combative, so I thought I'd make sure and ask first if there are any specific reasons (and what they are) for removing the section. It's not as if the content was anecdotal, I believe most of the covers in there are relevant recordings/performances by respected artists. Thanks, -jin.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:CB04:2E7:A700:750B:A662:DCBB:3F25 (talk) 13:28, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
