Talk:We'll Sing in the Sunshine

Inspires Sci-Fi Story
The song helped inspire the 1967 copyrighted sci-fi short story "The Man Who Loved the Failoi" written by Roger Zelazny. In "SF: Author's Choice 4" edited by Harry Harrison, published in 1974 by Berkley Publishing Corporation, at page 261, Zelazny says he was asked if he could write a story for Galaxy based on a picture and he said it was the line "But though I'll never love you, I'll say with you one year" which helped him eventually write a story to go with the picture.

Removing incorrect/specious info
I've deleted the final paragraph - the song is definitely not "the advice that a father of a girl tells her not to get involved in a serious love relationship": rather the singer is advising a prospective partner that she's prepared to have a relationship with him for no more than a year but that their year will be a very happy one. I've put in a link to the complete lyrics of the song to remove the need for any citation of specific lyrics here: plus the statement that "The final "Way" is done in a sad blues formula. as "Way ay ay" is apparently a specific editor's own position: certainly I wouldn't concur with it & without the addition of some credible corroboration the statement should remain outside this article.--Cherrylimerickey (talk) 01:04, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Did want to acknowledge that the song's third verse is indeed "the advice that a father of a girl tells her not to get involved in a serious love relationship": however it would still be erroneous to define the entire song as such. The link now in place to the song's lyrics in their entirety should remove the need for any citing of specific lyrics in the article unless the lyrics are cited for a specialized reason.--Cherrylimerickey (talk) 00:15, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Album Title / Art
I've changed the album title to "My Kind Of Folk Songs" the actual title of the album. This can be observed if you zoom in on the provided album cover.

However, this is not the original album cover, but the Canadian release in 1965. Because this song had become popular, that title was featured in the Canadian release a year later. The original album cover did not feature this song. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.13.8.37 (talk) 18:30, 25 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Perhaps the point is that the article is about the single, but an album cover, not the cover of the single, is featured. I seem to have read somewhere that Gale Garnett wrote all of the songs on the album. Wastrel Way (talk) Eric
