I'd love to review this. I'm a huge fan of this show! :-) – zmbro (talk) 16:42, 18 June 2019 (UTC)

There are currently two citation needed tags in the "Use in Friends" section. These gotta be taken care of before I can start. – zmbro (talk) 16:44, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Sounds good. Looking forward to your comments; I've corrected the citations in that section.--Changedforbetter (talk) 20:51, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Awesome! By the overall looks of it, this'll definitely be a pass, just gotta fix a few things. Full review tomorrow. :-) – zmbro (talk) 22:46, 18 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Infobox and lead
 * Make sure band names that start with "The" (in this case "the Hairballs" and "the Pretenders") are lowercase mid-sentence (see MOS:THEMUSIC)
 * fixed.--Changedforbetter (talk) 20:46, 19 June 2019 (UTC)


 * "soundtrack Friends Again (1999)" → "soundtrack album Friends Again (1999)"
 * done.--Changedforbetter (talk) 20:46, 19 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Great job on the lead, very well written :-)
 * Thanks!--Changedforbetter (talk) 23:35, 19 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Forgot something, make the record labels into a flatlist like genre, writer, etc. in the infobox. – zmbro (talk) 22:08, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
 * done.--Changedforbetter (talk) 23:15, 19 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Background and writing
 * I would change instance of things like this: ""The One with the Baby on the Bus” (season six, episode two)" to something like "the second episode of the sixth season: "The One with the Baby on the Bus"); also, this is actually flipped, that episode is season two, episode six
 * fixed. And thanks for the correction! Can't believe I didn't catch that.--Changedforbetter (talk) 23:15, 19 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Very interesting read


 * Use in Friends
 * "The song is established as Phoebe's least popular among audiences." – just a question but didn't it become one of her more popular ones later on? I can't remember specifically, but if it did I'd say "The song is initially established..." but if not leave it
 * if I remember correctly, within the context of the series the song was never particularly well-liked (then again, none of Phoebe's songs are), but she just plays "Smelly Cat" so often that her "fans" just come to accept it – almost like it's more notorious than popular. But I've added "initially" for clarification.--Changedforbetter (talk) 23:15, 19 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Link plot hole (I knew that was a plot hole lol)
 * done.--Changedforbetter (talk) 23:15, 19 June 2019 (UTC)


 * "Following filming of the Friends series finale in January 2019" very positive the series finale wasn't filmed this year
 * whoops. Fixed.--Changedforbetter (talk) 23:15, 19 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Composition
 * Shouldn't the box-quote lyrics be sourced?
 * Done. Source added.--Changedforbetter (talk) 23:33, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

Thanks a lot!--Changedforbetter (talk) 23:33, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Actually didn't know it has more than one verse, neat!
 * Not many problems here, very well-written and nicely done :-)


 * Reception and popularity
 * Looks good
 * Thanks!--Changedforbetter (talk) 23:33, 19 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Live performances and covers
 * "Upon learning about the remix, Kudrow said "I can't wait to hear if it is any good"." did she end up hearing it?
 * Unfortunately, can't find a reliable source supporting that she actually ended up hearing it.--Changedforbetter (talk) 23:33, 19 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Nit-picky but I think an image of Swift from her 1989-era would fit better here, not her Speak Now-era, especially since she performed it on the 1989 World Tour.
 * Makes sense to me. Image replaced.--Changedforbetter (talk) 23:33, 19 June 2019 (UTC)


 * "As of 2016, Daily" I think I would say "E. G. Daily" here since it's been quite awhile since Daily was mentioned
 * Understandable. Done.


 * Legacy
 * Why does Kudrow refuse to perform it?
 * Can't really find reliable sources in which she delves into why, but probably because she isn't a professional singer although she plays a musician on Friends.--Changedforbetter (talk) 23:33, 19 June 2019 (UTC)


 * References
 * Discogs is actually an unreliable source (see WP:NOTRSMUSIC); these gotta be replaced
 * Oh darn. Didn't know; I've replaced these.--Changedforbetter (talk) 23:43, 19 June 2019 (UTC)


 * I would try to archive every ref you can
 * Done.--Changedforbetter (talk) 05:21, 20 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Final thoughts
 * Everything else looks great. Very well done, this should be a GA in no time :-) – zmbro (talk) 16:10, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Okay, I think I've addressed everything. Awaiting final verdict zmbro--Changedforbetter (talk) 05:21, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Sorry I've been out of town all day. Consider this a ✅. Congrats! – zmbro (talk) 01:25, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
