Incorrect Information[edit]

If Snap couldn't get permission to use lyrics from "Let the Words Flow" why do some of the lyrics still appear in the finished product?

Wild Pitch were a US hip hop label. I doubt they would have signed a dance group from Germany.

Snap sampled Chill Rob G's line "It's gettin kinda hectic" from "Let the Words Flow". As a result Wild Pitch approached Snap for damages. Wild Pitch were given permission to use Snap's music to release their own version of The Power with more lyrics lifted from "Let the Words Flow". This release was credited to Power Jam and/or Chill Rob G. - Skyworlka (talk) 11:50, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Snap were not the first band to score a #1 with in the Uk with a rap song. The honor goes to the Pet Shop Boys with "West End Girls" in 1986. It is definitely a rap song. I tried to correct that but it was deleted as "vandalism"! It is not vandalism. Like it or not. If "West End Girls" is not a rap song, then what is it? 90.136.186.99 (talk) 04:11, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

How can the song "West End Girls" be considered a rap song? It's a new-wave/synthpop track. Besides none of Snap!'s songs can be viewed as rap, it's a German techno project. The male rap within doesn't make any of their songs rap.--Harout72 (talk) 04:54, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"West End Girls" is indeed a synth-based rap song, just like most rap songs are synth-/sample-based. But all three verses are rapped. So either we're gonna keep on arguing over what makes a song a rap song or we're gonna scrub the entire entry as it is utterly pointless.90.136.186.99 (talk) 18:40, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There doesn't need to be any argument, because it isn't correct viewing the song "West End Girls" as a Rap-track. You can ask any other person who has knowledge about genres, and they will tell you that it simply isn't. That said, songs by techno projects could never be considered Rap either, regardless of the fact that lot of the European (mostly German) based techno projects in the '90s were composed of Rap vocals. Only songs by hip-hop based projects/artists can be viewed as rap. BTW, I have already removed the part that mentions anything about rap.--Harout72 (talk) 19:27, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Neil Tennant, a former music journalist, and member of the Pet Shop Boys considers it a rap song. How can you confine rap to hip-hop acts only? It doesn't make sense. The first song the Pet Shop Boys published was indeed this rap song. So were they or were they not a hip-hop act initially who branched out into synth pop? Even Falco's "Amadeus" was a rap song but you wouldn't consider it rap because it's not by a hip-hop act? Never mind, this discussion is moot now since you removed this part. Thank you. 90.136.186.99 (talk) 03:24, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Neil Tennant considers "West End Girls" a rap track? Not that it's going to help what we're discussing here, but just out of curiosity, can you provide that source wherein he states that? I'm just interested why he says that or what does he mean by it if he says it at all. No, I don't view Falco's "Rock Me Amadeus" as a rap track only because he delivers the vocals in sort of a rap form, it is a new wave number.--Harout72 (talk) 04:16, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The first 'rap' on a UK number 1 single was Candy Girl by New Edition in 1983, pre-dating both songs. As for what constitutes a 'rap song' or not, I'm not even going to go there, so let's leave it at that. BillyH 01:59, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

How is this a Dutch band, if they're based in Germany? 24.191.199.181 (talk) 02:59, 27 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Article re-write[edit]

As you can see, I've completely re-written the article. I think it's a big improvement. I've also changed the discography. It took quite a lot of research because the group's history is so complicated! I'm still not 100% sure I know who Jackie Harris is. Is it her in the video for "The Power"? And did she leave immediately after? Some sources say she sang the group's early hits but I'm fairly certain it was Penny Ford - but is it Penny Ford in subsequent videos or still Jackie Harris?

Where's the consensus that turbo b was indeed charismatic? I am taking the word out. My humble opinion was that he was maybe slightly less intelligent than a zoo grown gorilla, that don't mean I am going to write it in the main article. (no offence to gorilla's btw) 91.132.224.196 (talk) 14:43, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

16 Bit[edit]

Michael Münzing and Luca Anzilotti redirect to this page; together with Sven Väth, they formed a project called "16 Bit", which is only mentioned on Väth's page. 94.218.199.73 (talk) 13:56, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"and additional vocals were recorded by Penny Ford (though the woman in the video is Jackie Harris), Jocelyn Brown's vocals were replaced by a female studio singer in 1999" So who sang the main vocals apart fromm the additional vocals. This is confusing! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.183.185.133 (talk) 23:37, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Snap! discography[edit]

Support split - Discography section takes up more than one third of the page and should be split to a new article entitled Snap! discography. --Jax 0677 (talk) 19:34, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support I think that is good idea. Horizonlove (talk) 22:29, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
