Talk:Happy Days Are Here Again

Removed redirect to "Wochenend un Sonnenschein."
I removed the redirect to "Wochenend und Sonnenschein" because it suggests that the German language song predated the English language one. The American song was copyrighted in 1929; the German song (with essentially the same music, but very different lyrics) was copyrighted in 1930. See the discussion at Wochenend und Sonnenschein.EAS 03:54, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Origin of expression
I believe the expression was first used on coins issued by the roman emperor Constantius II to reassure the Britons during bleak times. The latin for this is "fel temp reparatio".

Jewish music
I am provisionally adding this to Jewish music as it was composed by Jewish composers and all the notable performances, from the original to Streisand's, were made by noted Jewish performers. Also, Matthew Greenwald, it's principle critic was a critic specializing in American and Jewish music / Klezmer. DvonD (talk) 06:14, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Lyrics
I've removed the copy of the lyrics. Unless the copyright was allowed to expire (if so, source?), they are non-free content. -- Infrogmation (talk) 14:26, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Barbra Streisand
There is too much emphasis on one performer here. There must be some way to separate the article about the song and it's history from the work that Ms Streisand has done with the song and for which she is rightly due recognition. BuffaloBob (talk) 21:40, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Song copyrighted on Oct 29th 1929 on the morning of the Wall Street Crash?
Someone told me that this song was copyrighted on Oct 29th 1929 on the morning of the Wall Street Crash. True or false? —Preceding unsigned comment added by BWernham (talk • contribs) 12:44, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
