Talk:Show Me the Way to Go Home

message: The text says, "[i]t is believed of English origin, but has spread to Ireland and Canada, where it is also commonly sung." Show Me The Way ... is equally well known in the US (11 of the 16 popular culture references are American), and the text has been edited to read, "spread to Ireland and North America." How about Australia and NZ? Can we say that this drunken little ditty is commonly known throughout the Anglophonic world? 68.83.141.31 00:18, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Most Popular Pop Culture Reference 

message: The song was written on a railroad train journey from London by Campbell and Connelly.
It is believed to be of English origin
So, do we know the song's origin or not? The first sentence I quoted says that it definitely is of English origin and tells us who wrote it, but the second can only be taken to mean that there is some doubt over its origin. Naturally, neither of these claims have citations...
It's possible that the writer meant that the song existed in some form already and that Campbell and Connelly put it into the form we know today, but that certainly isn't clear from the first sentence, which implies they take sole credit for the work as a whole or at least for its lyrics. 217.137.122.94 (talk) 23:47, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: Not too sure about this:
"Sinnerman" is referenced though not by name in Ray Bradbury's short story "And The Rock Cried Out", which takes its title from one of the lyrics."
While it might be a Sinnerman reference, it could also just be a biblical allusion. In other words, both the title of the story and the lyric are drawing from the same text. I would like to see some sort of citation to be sure that Ray Bradbury really did draw the name of the title from the song.

replies: text: It would be a helpful addition to the article to set out the song's biblical allusions.  Is "the rock cried out" in the bible?  I don't know the answer to that. Ghmyrtle (talk) 08:58, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

text: PS: It appears that those words don't appear in the bible - but, there was a spiritual in the 1920s, "No Hiding Place Down Here", containing the line "The rock cried out, “No hiding place / There’s no hiding place down here". - .  Bradbury may have got his title from there.    Ghmyrtle (talk) 10:43, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

text: PPS: Bradbury's story was published in 1953, before the Les Baxter version (or Nina Simone's).  So, the title would not have come from any recording called "Sinner Man" - though of course it may have come from the 1928 recording of the spiritual, or an oral tradition.  The claim that it derived from the song "Sinner Man" was unsourced anyway, so I've removed it.  Ghmyrtle (talk) 11:06, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

I'll start work on that in the next couple months, and, as I am very new to both Wikipedia editing/participation (although I've been an avid reader for years) and especially to Mouffe and Laclau's theory, I hope someone will join me!

thread_title:  The article says nothing about Cox's background 

message: In the late 1980s for a few years Alex Cox hosted a show for BBC2 called Moviedrome. The format included Cox introducing and discussing his choice of idiosyncratic and personally influential films. It was the first time many of these rarer, and cult movies were shown to a UK audience. Moviedrome was unique having a film director host such a show and discuss his views before screening his film choice for that episode. Moviedrome itself developed a cult following as did the softly spoken Cox, who enthused many to challenge mainstream films with his championing of what are often referred to as cult movies.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.148.40.52 (talk) 00:16, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

:"...Since I love this song, it caught my eye in my watchlist. "Sixteen Going on Seventeen" is in a 4/4 Time signature. Waltzes are traditionally in 3/4 (though sometimes 3/8 or 3/2). Cf. [18].

message: How is the second sentence relevant to anything? "Newspapers have reported him being in several relationships with women, but have not reported any relationships with men."
It's alluding to a possibility that he's gay, a possibility with no cited basis as far as I can see, by setting up an argument that he hasn't been reported as being in relationships with men therefore he might be gay?? It makes no sense and is nevertheless largely irrelevant to his personal life if there's nothing to actually suggest he's gay. 
Even if his sexuality was known, and it seems likely he's straight, it's beyond me as to why it needs mentioning in the first couple of sentences of the personal life subsection.
