Talk:Pon de Replay

Untitled
"Bajan"? And all this time I thought the title "Pon de Replay" was Jamaican "patois" (or rather I should say Jamaican "creole"). See, "pon" is a word I often hear in dancehall tracks, etc.


 * Pon = "put on"? Not so sure about that.  Do you have a source for that?  And "Bajan is not English"?  Of course it is.  'Pon = Upon, and it's an archaic English feature which is preserved in several Caribbean English creoles.  Guettarda 16:06, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm more towards it being in Spanish (pon=put de=on replay=replay), not English slang (pon=upon de=the replay=replay). Firewithinfreak (talk) 18:50, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

-It's not Spanish, despite what it looks like. Rihanna is from Barbados, "Pon" is a common word in most Caribbean Creoles, and means "on, upon". The title could then be translated into Standard English as "on replay", if "de" is understood as an article. Also, "de" does not mean "on" in Spanish, it means "of, from". There's no reason to assume it's Spanish. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2620:CC:8000:96:14BF:4BE:8A0E:59AE (talk) 02:04, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

Hit Me Up
Hey the song Hit Me Up by Gia Farrell is remeniscent of this song. Does anybody any additional information? Thanks. Meursault2004 10:48, 20 January 2007 (UTC) Not really.. 211.30.195.154 12:33, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Wrong info?
Is it just me or do the chart positions not match on the sidebar and on the table?

Is this correct?
Actually, "For the Love of You" is by The Isley Brothers and Houston just covered it. Does the source state Houston's "For the Love of You"? Somehow The Guardian isn't loading for me. Novice7 (talk) 15:18, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
 * It says Whitney Houston in two sources given, indicating she sung the song in the way that it was sung by Houston. Calvin  &bull; Na Na Na C'mon!  15:39, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Ah okay. Thanks. Novice7 (talk) 06:19, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

?
Why is the article scrunched up at the bottom? Muthamonster (talk) 05:08, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
 * What? It's not. Calvin  &bull; Na Na Na C'mon!  09:42, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Diwali Riddim
"Pon De Replay" samples heavily from the Diwali Riddim. This should be noted in the article.

Demo Vs. Single
I do not agree with 2004 being listed as the recording date, for the actual commercially released track. Can someone actually provide evidence that Rihanna did NOT re-record the song for commercial release? I do not see any evidence that the demo was released "as-is". Am I missing something?--Carmaker1 (talk) 10:29, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
