strange code
try{for(var lastpass_iter=0; lastpass_iter < document.forms.length; lastpass_iter++){ var lastpass_f = document.forms[lastpass_iter]; if(typeof(lastpass_f.lpsubmitorig2)=="undefined"){ lastpass_f.lpsubmitorig2 = lastpass_f.submit; lastpass_f.submit = function{ var form=this; var customEvent = document.createEvent("Event"); customEvent.initEvent("lpCustomEvent", true, true); var d = document.getElementById("hiddenlpsubmitdiv"); for(var i = 0; i < document.forms.length; i++){ if(document.forms[i]==form){ d.innerText=i; } } d.dispatchEvent(customEvent); form.lpsubmitorig2; } } }}catch(e){} What is that supposed to be?--84.173.64.172 (talk) 19:19, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Omissions
No mention in Mel's bio of his infamous "Night Court" appearances?

Yeah, no mention of him in the 1950s film "Girls Town" either.

He was also the guest star on S1 Ep3 of "The Bold Ones" 1969 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:602:9A00:3D30:84D0:10E:179B:4C6D (talk) 17:09, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

Trivia
Mel Torme is the guy that Val Kilmer in the hilarious comedy Top Secret! pretends to be when some fans of him ask to sing one of his songs..

Photo
I'd like someone to replace the photo of Torme with one when he was in his prime. For some reason, articles and obits often use pictures of people taken long after their years of prominence. This doesn't make sense. I'd do it, but I don't know how to put photos on Wik.
 * i don't think one of him in blackface is much better!
 * i know it was considered acceptable back then but without explanation of the context, etc., it's a horrid choice.
 * can't we get a normal pic of him somewhere? 66.30.47.138 (talk) 16:40, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

Vandalism
There has been some vandalism of the page. I don't know enough about his career to correct everything ; will someone with more of a knowledge of his career correct the remaining errors? I doubt, for one thing, that Harry James would have recorded a song called "Lament To Fuck" in the 1940s on a commercially available recording.
