Talk:I've fallen, and I can't get up!

Why the comma?
It's grammatically unnecessary. WP Ludicer (talk) 23:16, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

Why merge now
Now that Mr.Ollie having marked the target article COI (and 'TruthTurbin' seems to have stopped pestering that article), and seeing that a merge proposal of 18 months ago had ended on no conclusion, and also seeing that the single objection from even earlier is no longer applicable, since the (yes, a slogan) "facts on the ground" have changed, ... that's why I did the merge. I'll wait a bit to see if your reaction HERE was the same as that of Mr.Ollie there (to 'TruthTurbin' -and, from what I've seen, he's done well elsewhere too). Yes, my merge needs a cleanup/followup, but the purpose of this response to your "take it to the talk page" is for you, of course, but also for those who later on look at what's been done here. Admittedly this Why Now is a bit long. Nuts240 (talk) 18:10, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Personally, I remember when 'I've fallen and I can't get up' was a national punch line, much like I learned it by watching you. I say it's notable enough to warrant its own article. Bkatcher (talk) 23:12, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm working on a draft about the (now late) actress who said those words. Did you know that she was only paid $60 for her initial work? Perhaps we can see how the wikiworld seems then. I too have long-ago memories of stuff, and I can hear an echo of a song from my late mother, which, translated into English (I think she learned it from HER mother) is: What was, was, and is no more. The days run away every year, every hour. As for me, I'd ask: Can you recall feeling cheated when the nickel chocolate bar became six cents? Nuts240 (talk) 07:04, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

"I'm falling and I can't get up"
Retcon or collective Mandela Effect?

When I was a child, I always remembered the line being "I'm falling and I can get up." I remember my parents used to poke fun because of the scenario meaning a person is in the process of falling and can't get up, rather than already on the ground and can't get up. In later years, it seems to have been retconned to "I've fallen and I can't get up." Or was this the Mandela Effect? Searching for "I'm falling and I can't get up" in quotes, brings up many results on a Google Search. --64.38.182.68 (talk) 06:00, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
