Talk:I Feel Love

"Progressive bass lines"
I hear the root and fifth along with the mindlessly regular bass drum, the usual notes and the usual rhythm from the times of Haydn into the 1930s. What's progressive about that? --2001:16B8:2489:C800:8569:91CD:A5C4:CFEA (talk) 22:24, 11 July 2017 (UTC)


 * There are two very good pieces about how the song was recorded here and here. The use of a Moog modular synthesizer for the backing tracks was unusual at the time, but what really made the song ahead of its time was the use of a click track to sync the various parts played on a sequencer on to a 16 track tape machine. MIDI was a long way off in 1976 when it was being recorded, and "I Feel Love" was years ahead of its time and still sounds good today. It is 40 years old this year, which is remarkable. I agree that the use of the phrase "progressive bass lines" in the lead is rather vague and has an element of WP:PEACOCK. The article could be clearer about why the song was cutting edge at the time.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦  (talk to me) 17:10, 12 July 2017 (UTC)


 * In both of the sources given above, there is the same photo of Giorgio Moroder. He is standing in front of a Moog modular synthesizer, a Minimoog and a Roland MC-8 Microcomposer. The MC-8 would have been very useful for recording "I Feel Love", but it was not launched until 1977.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦  (talk to me) 17:17, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

Is Sam Smith's cover a single?
Hi, I have found no sources calling this a single, and it has no radio release. Is it really a single? I'm thinking that this is a promotional single. Any thoughts on this? CountyCountry (talk) 02:32, 17 November 2019 (UTC)

No.. it’s not, I’ve been saying this to Ss12 for about a month, when it’s clearly a promo single, ITS NOT BEING PUSHED AT ALL!! HengeBoy (talk) 19:11, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

Madonna's «Future Lovers»
Shouldn't it be said somewhere that Madonna sampled «I feel love» for her own song «Future lovers» (for the album «Confessions on a dance floor») and that on the Confessions tour she actually did a mashup of the two songs, singing the chorus of «I feel love»? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.90.63.250 (talk) 05:27, 6 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Yes. It was also used during Christina Aguilera's Las Vegas show, The Xperience. Don't know why it's not in the article.

Use in a TV commercial is proper
I disagree that the use of the song in a tv commercial is not appropriate subject matter. It’s relevant, it’s interesting and it certainly is pop culture. And it had a proper citation. I’m putting it back. Literally thousands of songs on Wikipedia list commercial use. Johncarlson44 (talk) 23:39, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * , please don't. See WP:SONGTRIVIA for the explanation. Popcornfud (talk) 23:43, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I can't count the number of times that pop songs are used in TV commercials, and it is rarely worth mentioning this in a Wikipedia article. WP:POPCULTURE also discourages this unless there is significant sourcing to show why it is notable.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦  (talk to me) 06:59, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * IOW music geeks and music nerds need to get familiar with tvtropes.com, unless there's a similar website aimed specifically at music lovers. Accuracy Banshee (talk) 21:54, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
