Talk:Suffragette City

Meaning of this song?
What does the song mean?!


 * It's fair enough that it might not exactly be enlightened use of the word suffragette, but contrasting it to suffragist is perhaps belabouring it a little bit; the distinction between the terms wasn't clear to me in school, and probably not glaringly obvious to musicians in the early '70s. 142.167.187.174 04:12, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Bowie SuffragetteCity.jpg

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

WINGS JET
I'd like to see the trivia section say something about the link to Paul McCartney's Wings song "Jet" which supposedly refers to this song but I don't know the exact details.

And jet, i thought the major Was a lady suffragette —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.79.154.82 (talk) 14:40, 7 October 2008 (UTC)


 * a lady suffragette is a term from the early 1900s referring to women trying to get the right to vote in political elections. There is no connection between the two songs other than the use of this word. 86.182.10.183 (talk) 09:39, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

Any reason not to remove the "In Popular Culture" section?
The "Popular Culture" section seems pretty gratuitious. Any reason I shouldn't remove it? Judging by the guidelines in WP:IPC, it doesn't look to me like anything makes the cut, except the fact that Bowie offered the song to Mott the Hoople--and we can just move that into the body of the article. -- Narsil (talk) 21:28, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I can't see any reason why they need to be kept. --JD554 (talk) 07:45, 7 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the comment! Yeah--I moved the Mott the Hoople story into the body of the article, and nuked the rest of the "Pop Culture" section. -- Narsil (talk) 18:38, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Notorious line
"Wham-bam thank you ma'am" is semi-infamous, and should be mentioned in the article... AnonMoos (talk) 16:37, 6 January 2011 (UTC) ° It's a well-known and even at that time well-worn phrase, and as Bowie was a self-professed fan of the Small Faces, I imagine it's also a reference to their earlier, proto-metallic song of the same name.
