Talk:Don't Stop the Music (Rihanna song)/Archive 1

Whoever edited this article clearly doesn't know what the word means. The "Mama say mama sa ma-makossa" bit is in different keys for all three songs; it was quoted, not sampled. MJ's whooping and hollering, however, was taken directly from the recording of Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'. See the difference?75.49.251.170 (talk) 03:12, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Wasn't this supposed to be released in the UK before the US? Tcatron565 14:02, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Unneeded section header
Guide_to_layout recommends (for good reason) against short sections, which is particularly relevant to this article, in which the paragraph about the music video is not large enough for its own separate section. Extraordinary Machine 19:53, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Hee-HEE!!
Someone should put in that the song also has Michael's voice going "Hee-HEE!". You know, his little screechy thing he does. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.71.71.110 (talk) 19:18, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Forth Single In Australia
This Is the Fourth single in Australia I heard it playing in the Hot Hits as i cant do it can someone please make an Australian Singles Chronologly and Put this in as the Fourth after hate that I Love You

Sorry, can't do that it's going in chronological order with no extras. Charmed36 (talk) 02:49, 21 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Hot Hits is not the official chart in Australia. The hot hits is a request chart. Which means that people request songs and the most reuqested are played. So this means that Don't Stop the Music is not yet a single. It has to be played normally or be anoucced by the radio station. BatterBean (talk) 04:35, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Techno?
An editor has previously placed a techno genre tag in the info box for this song. For the time being, I have removed it, as I don't feel it is appropriate for this record. However, I'm opening a discussion thread about the subject. I agree that this record qualifies as "dance pop," obviously, but does it meet the requirements of a techno classification? Please respond below. --InDeBiz1 (talk) 23:08, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Rihanna called the song techno on 106 &Park in July 2007. Charmed36 (talk) 00:09, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Can you reference that?   --InDeBiz1 (talk) 02:46, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Here is a source for techno. Charmed36 (talk) 01:19, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
 * If that's so,then the genres should be dance-pop,electropop and electronic dance,since this is a single. XxJoshuaxX (talk) 14:43, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Music and structure.
Can we please discuss the idea that the song, instead of being set in common time is actually 2/4 time.

The song also has a strong under-current of a "Samba-Reggae" beat over the standard pop-house kick drum.

Please discuss - don't mind being shot down in flames. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.168.218.236 (talk) 08:45, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Don't Stop the Music (Rihanna song)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Don't Stop the Music (Rihanna song)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Lescharts": From Garçon (song): "Garçon", French SNEP Singles Chart Lescharts.com (Retrieved December 7, 2007) From Quelque part: "Quelque part", in French Singles Chart Lescharts.com (Retrieved May 13, 2008) 

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 15:48, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Where should the following fact be mentioned?
--Launchballer (talk) 13:29, 18 August 2009 (UTC)"On one of the albums it was released, The Girls, it is the longest track on that album."
