I started this article. I didn't mean to write about this song. When I saw it's from 1983, I searched the Internet (Google) for the lyrics so see if it's the same song I mean. It isn't. I mean a song that starts "Three o'clock in the morning", and I believe it's more famous and recorded by many artists. Kikki Danielsson sang that, and I have a Kikki Danielsson album named "Fri - En samling". According to it, "Talking In Your Sleep" was written by "Cook" and "Wood". Kikki Danielsson sang it in 1979, according to that album, and it's a cover version. According to the Internet, Crystal Gayle also sang this.

Super Freak Sample[edit]

It should be noted that Talking in Your Sleep does not contain a sample of Super Freak by Rick James. This material has been added by a number of IP editors/single purpose accounts over the last few weeks.

This incorrect in two ways. First, by definition, if the The Romantics sampled Rick James, they would have taken a portion, or sample, of Super Freak and re-used it as an instrument in Talking in Your Sleep. This is not the case as Talking in Your Sleep is composed by Canler, Marinos, Palmar, Skill, and Solley and all instruments were played by those individuals. The Romantics did not use a sample of another artist on any of their recordings.[1]

Secondly, while there is a blog written by a non notable individual claiming such, it does not comply with Wikipedia's policy on reliable sources. An non-expert's blog does not qualify as a reliable source. Doug Haber's blog is a self published source. Self-published material may be acceptable when produced by an established expert on the topic of the article whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable third-party publications. This is not the case with this individual. He's merely posting his incorrect and unqualified opinion, which is not encyclopedic and does not belong on Wikipedia. --Yankees76 Talk 12:50, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
