Requested move 16 March 2020

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this section. 

– Move over the current 2-entry disambiguation page. The song written by Tim Buckley is the clear primary topic by pageviews and long-term significance. The only other article—Song to the Siren (The Chemical Brothers song)—is about a song that uses samples of a version of Buckley's song, and is mentioned in the Buckley article's lead section.

 * Song to the Siren (Tim Buckley song) → Song to the Siren
 * Song to the Siren → (deleted to make way for page move)
 * Note: gentle reminder that if this request is granted, must also be deleted.  P.I. Ellsworth    ed.  put'r there 22:29, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Support – agree with nominator. This is an extremely clear primary topic. I was actually a little surprised to see the article title "Song to the Siren (Tim Buckley song)" in the search box's dropdown suggestions, and it was a funny coincidence to immediately see the move discussion template at the top of the page. —BLZ · talk 23:12, 19 March 2020 (UTC)

Guardian Article
The Grauniad published a piece on the song in November 2011: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2011/nov/17/song-to-the-siren-classic. Personally I far prefer the Half Man Half Biscuit version :-) Mr Larrington (talk) 00:01, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
