Recently?

• The sentence "The song has recently been receiving a large exposure to American audiences, appearing in the television series Friday Night Lights and in the films Taken, Friday the 13th, and Scream 4" makes absolutely no sense since the entry isn't dated like a newspaper article. It's merely confusing and blurring. What does that mean 'recently' in the context of a Wikipedia entry? Nothing. Why wasn't the year written down for example? Damhert (talk) 17:55, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
  • It makes even less sense now since almost 4 years have passed since Damhert made that comment. Astonishingly, rather than sorting this glaring issue out, people have instead decided to add to the list of media that the song has appeared in 'recently'. I would give it a bit of a trim, but not being from the USA myself, I am not aware of a) when exactly 'recently' was originally meant to have been or b) whether the comment is important enough to retain at all.

Additional hatnote

The 1990+ musical Tick, Tick... Boom! and derivative 2021 movie Tick, Tick... Boom! (film) do not have a song titled "Tick tick boom", or even a song with that lyrics in it. (It is spoken as a line, at least in the movie (I haven't seen the stage version), and the lyrics to the song "30/90" has "ticking" and "boom" in it [1].)

Thus, strictly speaking, our title "Tick Tick Boom (song)" cannot refer to those works, but since it is a work of songs with the same title (apart from how it is stylized), I think it should have a disambiguation hatnote, like Also, do not confuse with the musical Tick, Tick... Boom!. I'm not sure how to do that with the templates, though.--Nø (talk) 11:44, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
