The song "Mess Around" is a song about having fun and just doing what you like to do. It's a free spirited song that anyone can enjoy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.187.69.40 (talk • contribs)

OK. Thanks for pointing that out. Herostratus (talk) 04:03, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It says in the article that Ertugun was inspired by Pete Johnson, but the ref given doesn't say that or anything close, so I removed the ref, which is http://www.discogs.com/artist/Ahmet+Ertegun?anv=Nugetre Dicogs Herostratus (talk) 04:03, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Black Bottom[edit]

So what's the relationship between this song and the much older dance, the Mess Around, referred to in Black Bottom (dance)? --jpgordon^{::==( o )} 15:00, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The dance move goes back to before 1912 [1]. Probably should say something about it in this article. Kendall-K1 (talk) 18:59, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
