Talk:Singin' in the Rain (song)

Untitled
This song also was played as an instrumental during the credits of a 1930 film titled "Rain or Shine" directed by Frank CapraChetp (talk) 15:57, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Public domain or not?
I've read up on this and I still have no idea what the copyright status of the song would be in different countries or even US states.


 * Distinction has to be made between the song itself, the music, versions (arrangements) and different recordings, as well as different legal jurisdictions. To give the UK as an example, copyright in the song, music, and arrangements exists for 70 years from the death of the author. For phonographic (sound) recordings copyright on that performance lasts for 50 years after it was made, but for film 70 years from the death of the last principal director, author or composer.

/* Mint Royale remix */
I noted the Mint Royale remix in the the list of covers and deleted the Mint Royale section. If an article about the Mint Royale remix is warranted somebody can create it but to devote half an article about "Singing in the Rain(song)" to some obscure cover is ridiculous.154.5.40.122 (talk) 14:16, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

I agree, this article is rather strange. Surely the bulk should be devoted to the Gene Kelly performance if anything, as this is by far the most well known performance. Although I disagree that a cover that was number 1 in the UK less than 4 years ago can be called obscure, it is pretty silly to have its own section, and it should be deleted. 137.222.137.14 (talk) 20:36, 21 February 2012 (UTC)


 * A cover version can get its own section, provided that it is notable enough to warrant the section's inclusion. Having hit #1 in the United Kingdom, the Mint Royale version definitely satisfies the notability criteria. The article definitely needs expansion, and Kelly's version probably deserves the most coverage in the article. However, this does not mean that content regarding Mint Royale's version should be reduced to a single sentence. Holiday56 (talk) 15:45, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

In The Babe Ruth Story (1948), William Bendix gets to dance to the song when The Babe accidentally finds himself on stage during a chorus number and chooses to ham it up a little. WHPratt (talk) 18:02, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

Gene danced in California?
I've removed the words "in California", which were added to "Gene Kelly .. while splashing through puddles during a rainstorm" by an editor reverted for other apparently vandalistic changes. No reference was given. Onanoff (talk) 20:17, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
