Talk:Stars on 45 (song)

41-word title
I found this article simply titled "Medley" several places in Wikipedia. I don't think the official 41-word title is appropriate. Every book I find that mentions this song refers to the song as the "Stars on 45 Medley". It also avoids the disambiguation page for Medley. I will go through and changes the links so they link to this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rt66lt (talk • contribs) 23:41, January 12, 2006


 * In Billboard Number One Hits and Billboard Top 40 Hits by Joel Whitburn, the full 41-word title is given. But we should be consistent with The Talented Mr. Ripley (film) regarding short, common and lengthy, official titles (which this currently is). &mdash;Twigboy 15:42, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
 * If you sift through the actual charts in 1981, the 41-word title (not just "Stars of 45") is given. However, either way would be fine, and I don't think any changes need to be made to this article regarding that at this point. Drdr1989 02:34, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Ironic & Hypocrite Use Of Trivia by Wikipedia
It's ironic and hypocritical that Wikipedia discourages the use of trivia, but yet adds trivia when regarding itself. The example is the "Did you know" section above when it mentions the Stars on 45 Medley article was mentioned on January 16, 2006 on its main page.

"British English" article
Why is this article defaulted to British English? It's a Dutch recording, not British. It was originally written in American English, shouldn't it stay that way? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.65.230.52 (talk) 14:24, 6 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Maybe because it's primarily a Beatles medley and they were British? Or maybe the Dutch group used English spellings when they wrote in that language? 86.27.226.94 (talk) 11:39, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

Sparks uncredited sample
Right at the start there is a clear sample of "Beat The Clock" by Sparks, it's before the "medley" section but they appear to not get any credit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.27.226.94 (talk) 11:40, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

"Lover's Concerto" and "San Francisco" ?
Hi, I remember a version of the Stars on 45 medley that included the Supremes "A Lover's Concerto" and "Let's go to San Francisco", but I don't know which version of the "Stars on 45" it was or who sang "San Francisco". Can someone answer these questions before you edit (hopefully, don't delete) this section. Thank you!

 * The Flowerpot Men performed "Let's go to San Francisco" (not Scott McKenzie). Now which version of the SO45 medley was that song included in?
