Talk:Somebody (Bridgit Mendler song)

Somebody (Lemonade Mouth song)
Can you please change the title to "Somebody (Lemonade Mouth song)" because in the song "This is Me" (from Camp Rock) it's titled "This is Me (Camp Rock song)", not "This is Me (Demi Lovato song)". 203.97.167.3 (talk) 09:46, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Somebody (Bridgit Mendler song) → Somebody (Lemonade Mouth song) – This song is sung by Lemonade Mouth not only Bridgit Mendler. Moreover, per comment above by IP user. Relisted. Jenks24 (talk) 11:18, 22 June 2012 (UTC) Morning Sunshine (talk) 09:57, 13 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Oppose. Lemonade Mouth is neither a band nor an artist. Regarding the comment above, it appears that This Is Me (Camp Rock song) may be wrongly titled. Andrewa (talk) 15:19, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment – That's an interesting comment. It's not completely obvious to me whether "Lemonade Mouth" should be considered an actual "band" or just something that existed in fiction, and if it is a real band in some sense, whether that group of people actually performed the song for the recording (or if just Ms Mendler did it with some other people). I think it is probably more correct to believe that the band is (at least primarily) fictional – it seems unlikely that the other cast members of the movie were actually playing the instruments on the recording for the song. –BarrelProof (talk) 20:04, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure it matters a lot either way, but note that the article lead currently starts out "Somebody" is a song performed by American pop recording artist Bridgit Mendler for the soundtrack Lemonade Mouth... (my emphasis) and that the article is in Category:Bridgit Mendler songs. But then Breakthrough (Lemonade Mouth song) is also in that category. Interesting. We probably should be consistent.

 * Weak oppose for move to 'Somebody (Lemonade Mouth song)'. Currently, 'Lemonade Mouth' is a fictional band but an actual franchise (see "Disney Savors Its Lemonade", Wall Street Journal, 2011-04-27, "Cathleen Taff, general manager of Disney Music Group, which distributes and promotes the Lemonade Mouth album, said the company is happy about the positive reaction to the band, even if it does create some confusion. "It's flattering that everybody's saying they want to see Lemonade Mouth on tour," Ms. Taff said. "But they're not really a band. Could they be a band? Yeah, they could. But they all have their individual acting careers right now.""" So that's that. HOWEVER.... A song's parenthetical disambiguation can be something other than by band name. Both the soundtrack and certain soundtrack song credits are to "Lemonade Mouth cast". Compare High School Musical (film series) songs Fabulous (High School Musical song), I Want It All (High School Musical song), A Night to Remember (High School Musical song), Right Here, Right Now (High School Musical song), and Now or Never (High School Musical song). Compare Camp Rock songs We Rock (Camp Rock song), Wouldn't Change a Thing (Camp Rock song), This Is Me (Camp Rock song). Compare Broadway showtunes America (West Side Story song) and Kansas City (Oklahoma!). Full disclosure: this particular song 'Somebody (Bridgit Mendler song)' is typically credited to Mendler -- →gab  24 dot  grab← 16:35, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
