The page is ambiguous. When did it become a #1 hit "everywhere"? Johnleemk | Talk 11:32, 24 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- This article or section should be merged (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Duplicate_articles) with YMCA.,as a section within that article — OwenBlacker 10:33, Jul 5, 2004 (UTC)
- Surely you're joking! And their hit "In the Navy" should be in the United States Navy entry too! Anyway, I like the line "he saw the YMCA sign walking down the street with composer Jacques Morali" so much that I didn't have the heart to edit it. Wetman 09:15, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- I'm about to re-write the YMCA article with more on that organization; the song and dance don't really fit in with the rest of it. - jredmond 12:19, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Colin Powell, a so-called dove with an honorable military record, especially during the 1991 Persian Gulf War, is sometimes said to oppose the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
This has, what, exactly, to do with the song? Saying Colin has performed the song is okay, but if one wants information on Colin himself, they'd go to the Colin Powell article. I'm taking that line out. Acheron 02:41, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Is this in the neutral point of view? It uses some superlatives.. "It is more than a legend", for example. -- Hedley 00:52, 06 Mar 2005
Minor rewrite
I plan to reword a little of this, it's clearly got some good stuff, but also too many weasel words and similar (see entries on that elsewhere on WP). Targets for rewriting for encyclopedic style:
- "a joyful and sublimely deadpan" (I plan to replace with simply "deadpan")
- "a #1 hit everywhere except in the USA" (a list of places would be good, I think "everywhere" is going a little far
- "It is more than a legend." I have no idea what this means, sounds like marketing speak to me.
Please discuss here if anyone has any thoughts (especially a list of places where it was a #1 hit) Mat-C 21:16, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
