Talk:I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor

On The, On the, or on the
When I created this page I copied the name directly off the image of the CD cover. But looking at MY copy of the single today, "on" is in small letters...

I'm confused. --Deano 10:16, 24 October 2005 (UTC)


 * From the cd cover, it is apparent the correct capitalization is On the which is what this article uses for its title. Last.fm however is using on the incorrectly. I am changing a couple intances of On The to On the in this article's contents. --Anthony5429 03:25, 8 February 2006 (UTC)


 * The official website lists the title as on the, and this title would be in accord with Manual of Style. Acegikmo1 04:08, 8 February 2006 (UTC)


 * But also notice on this page of the official site, it is On The. Furthermore, it is I Bet That You... instead of I Bet You.... I'm under the impression it would be best to follow the capitalization on the actual album art (On the). --Anthony5429 09:57, 8 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Well to use the album cover in front of me we wouldn't capitalize anything ;) Robdurbar 09:58, 8 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Interesting...Here, it is On the. Robdurbar, are you saying that your copy has on the like Deano's? --Anthony5429 10:01, 8 February 2006 (UTC)


 * To be honest, I was simply pointing out that album/single covers are not necessairily the best place to look. On the back of mine all the songs have no capitals i bet you look good on the dancefloor. As for this article... I like all capitals for song titles, but I think we should follow the manner of style, for consistency Robdurbar 10:06, 8 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Alright, sounds good to me. So...this article should be moved to I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor. --Anthony5429 10:09, 8 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Yep Robdurbar 10:10, 8 February 2006 (UTC) - done Robdurbar 10:16, 8 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Great --Anthony5429 10:21, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

"Loaded" statement
"it rode the wave of popularity on which the band were riding after sellout gigs at venues such as the" sellout gigs? that's a little negative, is'nt it? Do you agree? &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 85.166.245.106 (talk &bull; contribs).

lol - 'sellout' as in all tickets sold, I think Robdurbar 10:50, 7 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Yeah... I suppose it could be change to "sold out" but I doubt it really makes that much difference. DJR (Talk) 19:11, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

1984
In George Orwell's 1984, I believe there are no robots, though this song says 'like a robot from 1984'. Should this be mentioned in the article? Could it refer to something else? omnijohn 22:05, 19 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I doubt it is a reference to 1984... I wouldn't personally think it is worth mentioning. DJR (Talk) 22:22, 19 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Given that the line is "dancing to electropop like a robot from 1984", I'd say that it's most likely a reference to the year itself, rather than Orwell's novel. —DO&#39;Neil 04:27, 2 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Alright, agreed. I had just finished the book 1984 and now see that I was too eager to think that the reference was to Orwell's book.  It needn't be mentioned. omnijohn 17:29, 2 April 2006 (UTC)


 * The Terminator was released in 1984. The eponymous villain's first attack on Sarah Connor took place in a dance club called "Tech Noir," which may have been playing electropop at the time (I forget).

Charts
Someone needs to edit the charts so they don't extend into the sidebar.Vash Aurion 03:26, 24 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm gonna reduce it to top 40 appearances only; this is almost always the only listed set, with 75 seen only rarely. It'll help reduce the length of the box, which is quite ugly. Robdurbar 07:58, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Incorrect Record Listing
Is it just me, or is the record listing incorrect? My 7'' has "Chun Li's Spinning Bird Kick."

Time of Album
I don't think the length of the album, 2:52, is correct, but I don't know what it is. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.2.71.42 (talk) 00:44, 3 March 2007 (UTC).


 * You mean the song length? It's listed at 2:53 on the wiki album page, close enough, can change it for consistency if you want. The Guy From Ipanema 15:14, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
