Talk:Ain't It Funny

Merging from Ain't it Funny (Murder Remix)
I support this proposal. These aren't different songs; they are two different versions of the same song, so merging them would be in line with already-established precedent. Also, neither article is very long. Extraordinary Machine 17:59, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Singles are, in general, given their own articles. Even though they are the same song substantively, and a merger would decrease duplicate information, I think its more important to impose a consistent policy. Will remove tags for the time being. Orchid Righteous 08:57, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, but I'd have to agree with Orchid Righteous. Too much info would be lost and it's better to distinguish the singles from their own albums respectively. Power level (Dragon Ball) 16:25, 20 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Actually, articles are about SONGS, not SINGLES. Guidelines have cover versions, remixes, re-issues, etc. in the same article.  These should be in the same article - one which explains the original and the process by which it was re-recorded as the "Murder Remix".  It's all a part of the song's history. - eo 12:42, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm in favour of a merge, as its the same song. Also not much info would be lost to be fairSkeletorUK 22:42, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, it isn't the same song. Billboard magazine even had to revise their chart policy of counting all versions of a song by an artist (remixes, radio edits, etc.) as one because the Murder Remixes for this and I'm Real are so different from their original album versions. I still favor the merge, however. --Wolfer68 (talk) 23:54, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm in favor. I'm Real & I'm Real (Murder Remix) are in one article, so why not do the same? —Preceding unsigned comment added by BMZ00000 (talk • contribs) 00:42, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

I also support the merge; it is the same song, which is why it is called a "remix." Musiclover (talk) 10:56, 4 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Merge per Eo, articles are about SONGS, not SINGLES, whether this is a remix, different recording, whether by a different different artist or not, is not reason to keep these two articles split. The guidelines for a music magazine, Billboard, and Wikipedia, an encyclopedia, are different for very good reasons. --Richhoncho (talk) 14:51, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Support merge, as per all the responses above. Fixer23 (talk) 10:24, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Please note : There is a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Songs/coverversions with the purpose of trying to establish a standard rule for merge/separate different versions of the same song. Please make known your opinions on the matter. --Richhoncho (talk) 21:36, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

I support the merge. Even cover versions don't have their own articles, though some of them would merit it. – Alensha   talk  20:15, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Proposed merge with Ain't It Funny (Murder Remix)
Per NSONGS. One article per song. Different artists and/or remixes don't count. Richhoncho (talk) 13:47, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
 * But this song is not a "remix", it's a totally different song, but its title might be a little confusing. While reviewing the original "Ain't It Funny", Billboard's Chuck Taylor said of the remix release, "Sony has got to be kidding, calling it "Ain't it Funny" when not one note of it is held in common with the original. It's a disturbing trend, but one that will surely push J.Lo to a new high."

 * Not the same song at all. Not the same composers too.--88marcus (talk) 16:05, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
