The UK experience
In this little-edited backwater of Wikipedia, I get the feeling that this is the sort of query that will go answered until after I'm dead. However, here goes: if you listen to both the Mariners' version and the Stargazers' version, it's apparent that the latter is parodying the former - at least the style of the former, if not the specific recording. Which suggests that the Stargazers expected their audience to already be familiar with either the Mariners' version, or some other version(s) copying it. So, how were people familiar with it? Was the Mariners' version, or some British cover of it, popular on radio? Was a recording, or recordings, selling just not quite well enough to register on the top 20? Was the song common in the repertoire of live bands in the winter of 1953/4? --Walnuts go kapow (talk) 09:51, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Bellini allusions
Removed a section that cited 2 Vincenzo Bellini works as origins of the melody. No reliable source was cited, ergo a conclusion of an editor, ergo violation WP:OR. Further, I listened to the works, and while there are similarities, the editor's statement is every bit as unjustified as the Blurred Lines lawsuit verdict! Tapered (talk) 04:37, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
