"Notable" dirges
Who says they're notable? This section probably needs to be removed. I don't think Cradle of Filth should top the list even if it stays... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.131.82.38 (talk) 19:14, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Really, the notable dirges need to be fixed. Many of these are not remotely notable and some are not even dirges. The whole article could be larger. Gingermint (talk) 21:32, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

Macabre by Dir en Grey was more metal than dirge. Dirges tend to be downbeat and slow, and kinda dreary. This had heavy drumbeat from the start. 208.92.225.223 (talk) 05:06, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

somber
Somber is a sad feeling in a persons body that can force them to cry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 214.3.92.114 (talk) 13:46, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

"Other"
What rubbish was that "Other" paragraph? "The words dirge and dirigible both come from the verb "to direct" -- so the Hindenburg disaster ties these two words together"??

Well, whenever a movie director dies and there's songs on his/her funeral (or alternatively, director flies in a zeppelin), then also two words with the same root appear together. Even better, start singing *directly* after s/he dies, then we have THREE.

Or was this the start of WikiProject "order all by its root"? A bit ambitious, and difficult for words combining two or more root concepts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.99.246.115 (talk) 14:51, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
