Talk:Town Called Malice

Has permission been granted to reproduce the lyrics for this song? Knaw 14:48, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

I was wondering about that too... --Hanshi 22:23, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Should there be a mention of the fact that the opening to this song is based on "Time Is Tight" by Booker T. & the MGs? Beanhead McGinty 14:04, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

As it is self-evident and musically/historically relevant, I have added it.--Tednor 09:24, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

The bass line is from You Can't Hurry Love. Bruce Foxton says so in his book, "Our Story". In this guardian article http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2012/nov/12/how-we-made-town-malice he says the baseline is 'Very Similar' to You Can't Hurry Love. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.134.158.205 (talk) 10:14, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

If I'm not mistaken, contrary to the article's claim this was The Jam's only U.S. top 40 hit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.7.241.225 (talk) 17:21, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Origin of title
Is the title a reference to the book 'A Town Like Alice'? I was going to add it to the article but couldn't find any reference to it anywhere else. Jack 23:01, 27 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Although Weller says he had not read the Nevil Shute novel at the time of writing; there had, however, been an Australian television adaptation which was shown on the BBC in 1981, just the year before, and which Weller could easily have seen, or caught sight of in the TV listings.

Fifa 2004?
Why exactly is FIFA 2004 trivial? As far as I know it's still pop culture
