Talk:Break My Stride

Untitled
Looking at internet search results, this song seems to be often attributed to Men at Work, although I'm pretty sure that's incorrect. Does anybody know why this association was made? Dan (talk) 08:00, 10 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Ignorance. The song didn't share writers or producers, and to my ear the voices are quite different.  The only similarities I can think of is the bouncy gait and the era. Abrazame (talk) 09:40, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Italian influence?
In the original "Wilder" version, sometimes he sings "...break my stride", and elsewhere it comes out "...BREAK-A my stride...! (You break-a my stride, I break-a YOUR FACE!!) 216.179.123.103 (talk) 18:32, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Or perhaps the influence of CB radio users back in the day -- "Break-a, break-a, good buddy!" (Dunno if they were Italian, though.) Charlie Rrose Selavy (talk) 22:08, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

Genre?
Surely this song would be considered to be reggae (albeit on synthesiser)? The article doesn't mention reggae at all. Why not? 82.5.231.254 (talk) 07:38, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

Why is there a random table used for certification instead of the standard Template:Certification Table Top used? SK2242 (talk) 11:50, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
