Talk:It's My Party

Judy's Turn To Cry
Removed part of the summary of "Judy's Turn To Cry". There's no mention in the lyrics of Johnny screaming anything, or of the two dancing together. In fact it's only inferred (although it's probable) that he dumps Julie. The version altered read:
 * In the lyrics the narrator kisses another guy in front of Johnny and Judy during another party, which causes a jealous Johnny to immediately dump Judy in front of their classmates and then punching the poor boy the narrator kissed while screaming that the narrator was Johnny's girl. As the narrator dances with her returning boyfriend, she takes satisfaction in the emotional devastation Judy is feeling.

It's my BIRTHDAY?
Forgive me if I'm wrong, because I'm not a native English speaker, but I've never heard "it's my birthday..." in both the Lesley Gore and Helen Shapiro versions. Instead, I clearly hear "it's my party". Moreover, I don't know how a song called "It's My Party" can have "it's my birthday" as the first line of the chorus! Therefore, I'll change this in the article -- as said before, please undo my changes if this information isn't correct. --Elenis (talk) 07:43, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Home Improvement
There's a line in Home Improvement where Tim makes a reference to the song on Tool Time's Salute to Bathrooms. While introduces he introduces himself, he inntroduces Al Borland as "Al 'It's my potty, and I'll cry if I want to' Borland". Can't remember the name of the episode though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.100.116.213 (talk) 15:41, 18 August 2010 (UTC)


 * 'It's my potty, and I'll cry if I want to' - was also a punch line to an old Howie Mandel joke. Not sure which was first.Mattman944 (talk) 03:19, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

This song reached number one in the United Kingdom
This says that the song peaked at Number 9 in the United Kingdom, but there was a song with this title that reached Number One in the United Kingdom. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 19:36, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

There was a version of this song by Dave Stewart and Barbara Gaskin that reached Number One in the United Kingdom in October 1981, as one can see if one goes to http://www.officialcharts.com/search-results-chart/_/1981/10/13. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 19:43, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

What about the film Problem Child
I don't know how many associate the song with the film "Problem Child", in which it figures. I was surprised not to find any mention of this in the article. Is this really not relevant? Beryllium-9 (talk) 19:22, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

Recording by the Chiffons?
The following text was added to the article by an IP user in July:

(NOTE: the only thing the Chiffons recorded in 1962 was the "He's So Fine" single, in December. The "He's So Fine" single - which was released in January of 1963 - hit #1 on the Billboard charts around the same day Leslie Gore was recording "It's My Party". The Chiffons single "One Fine Day" was released in May of 1963 as "Party" was rising up the charts. A cursory look at Laurie Records LP release dates seem to suggest that the Chiffons version of "It's My Party" was recorded after, and because of, the Leslie Gore version. This information is readily available on the web. The Chiffons did NOT record "It's My Party" in 1962. In all likelihood it was recorded to capitalize on the success of "One Fine Day" which puts the recording date in May 1963 or after.)

It has some merit as a discussion of the accuracy of information in the article, but should not have been included as article content. The IP user apparently questions that the Chiffons recorded "It's My Party" in 1962. I haven't been able to find any information about when the Chiffons recorded the track, or even the exact release date of the "One Fine Day" album (just the year, 1963, the same as Lesley Gore's recording and release of "It's My Party"). We do know the exact date of Gore's recording: March 30, 1963. If someone can source the exact date of the Chiffon's recording, then we'll know for sure. (Or, if the "One Fine Day" album was released before March 30, we'd also know for sure; a release later would be inconclusive.) I'll add a citation needed tag to this claim in the article. --DavidK93 (talk) 17:37, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
