Talk:Voulez-Vous (song)

Surely a better translation of Voulez-Vous is "Would you like" or "Would you like to" rather than the rather unromantic "Do you want". Cheers.

To change Disco/Pop/Rock into Disco, Europop
I have sources which show Voulez-Vous is a Disco/europop song :

Disco :

•"a thumping great disco track" "one of the great pop/disco singles of the '70s. Unfortunately, the "disco sucks" backlash had already started by the summer of 1979, and "Voulez-Vous" didn't even hit the U.S. Top 40."


 * this source looks good to me. ''' Flat Out   let's discuss it   01:00, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

•""Voulez-Vous" ("do you want?" in French) is a disco track by Swedish pop group ABBA"


 * this source is a mirror of Wikipedia. Anything that is added to wikipedia will be reflected here too. Unreliable source. ''' Flat Out   let's discuss it   01:00, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

•"But of course when their disco era came in, with songs like 'Gimme, Gimme, Gimme', 'Voulez Vous', and 'Summer Night City', they really made their mark in America."


 * this source supports disco as a genre. ''' Flat Out   let's discuss it   01:00, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

RL = Rod Liesslie (who first created the Bjorn Again show in 1988 in Melbourne, Australia)

Europop :

• List of Europop songs


 * Looks OK to me ''' Flat Out   let's discuss it   01:00, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

•[http://www.allmusic.com/album/funky-abba-mw0000257814 "How could ABBA's bubblegum Europop be so huge, critics wondered, at a time when challenging visionaries like Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello and Lou Reed were making records?" "So in some cases, Landgren takes Europop gems that already had a little funk to begin with -- including "Voulez-Vous," "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight")" and "Money, Money, Money" -- and gives them a great deal of funk."] 86.214.54.113 (talk) 00:36, 14 June 2013 (UTC)


 * i'm not sure about this reference since it is reviewing an unrelated album. I'll leave this for other's to give feedback on.''' Flat Out   let's discuss it

So according to you, there are 2 reliable sources for "disco" and at least one reliable source for europop. I think it is enough to support my ideas. Of course, I would wait to see what editors of this page think about it. 86.214.54.113 (talk) 02:05, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

Egyptian-like instrumental breaks
There is not one word in the article about the unusual Egyptian-like instrumental break that occurs several times in this song. David Spector (talk) 14:41, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

Cover versions
I'm opening a discussion on this based on indirect advice from ColinFine. Nearly all of the versions featured in the cover versions section of this song were not demonstrably notable enough to be included here. This is why we have the rule of WP:COVERSONG; if we posted every single cover version of a song, it'd just end up being clutter. My suggestion to Ukance is: if you think a cover is notable enough, you need to explain why it's notable and include a source. Please consider that next time instead of impulsively making accusations of vandalism. Thank you. Songwaters (talk) 18:45, 23 May 2020 (UTC) --- Hi, could you at least list the cover versions on this Talk page? I know of remakes by A*Teens, Erasure, and a sample by Stars On 45, but I would like to know of more.
