Talk:Ruby (Kaiser Chiefs song)

Possible Rip-Off of other song
Is there any documentation that "Ruby" by the Kaiser Chiefs was ripped from "Brother Louie" by Morning Talking?? If so it should be noted in this article, but is a serious stretch. Here is a link to the youtube video if you don't believe me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ect3VoEUJn8  Zachiroth 17:53, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

I would rather like to note that I'm convinced I've heard the "intro" before. I mean the first bit of the song. Anyone know what song I mean? I'm pretty amazed, noone else has seemed to notice. Especially because there is a clear break in the song after the guitar "intro". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.11.211.220 (talk) 11:55, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Release dates
How is it possible that the single has not yet been released and yet is number 2 in the UK charts? 172.202.206.104 00:51, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Page title
Shouldn't there be an apostrophe in there? Ruby (Kaiser Chiefs' song) -- SGBailey (talk) 11:11, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

Aha! A pedant after my own heart! But no, not here. In the title, "Kaiser Chiefs" is being used as an attribute of "song", rather like an adjective, and not as a genitive. In the same way we'd probably use "Space Oddity (David Bowie song)" rather than "Space Oddity (David Bowie's song)" There's an elided "a/the" ("Space Oddity" (a/the David Bowie song)". We do this all the time in English. Other examples..."the BBC programme 'Dr. Who'", rather than "the BBC's programme 'Dr. Who'". Perfectly legitimate. Hundovir (talk) 20:49, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

Just another thought: "Kaiser Chiefs song"/"David Bowie song" is answering the question, "What sort of song is it?" Whereas "Kaiser Chiefs' song"/"David Bowie's song" is answering the question, "Whose song is it?" Each answer is legitimate for its appropriate question. Hundovir (talk) 10:13, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
