Original (?) version
Just put in a piece about a version recorded by Bucks Fizz. This was in Feb 84, not sure if this was before Turner recorded it, but they must have been close. Does anyone know when she recorded it?--Tuzapicabit (talk) 02:43, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Synthesizer solo
I am hoping that one of the authors of this article is actually close to the production of the hit song. I think the article deserves a section on the production of the song. I'm pretty sure, but don't know how to verify, that the synthesizer solo uses a sample of Tina's voice and this would be a notably early example of this technique. justcary (talk) 05:25, 9 January 2011 (UTC)


 * It's actually a Yamaha DX7 patch - the rest of the track has a lot of DX7. There's a sample of the original here (search for "harmonica"). -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 14:38, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Back when this song was popular I have a fuzzy memory of hearing on one of the popular countdown shows that the song was originally written with Mick Jagger in mind, or that Jagger turned it down or that after hearing the song Turner begged for the song and got it before it was offered to Jagger. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.249.246.183 (talk) 13:35, 8 September 2012 (UTC)


 * An excellent article on the song's recording appeared in Sound on Sound in 2004 (as part of the magazine's "Classic Tracks" series)—and can be found on-line. It'd be an ideal source for a production section. Pololei (talk) 17:08, 27 September 2018 (UTC)

Black and white video
There is a black and white video of this song, how come there isn't a mention of it? Jking88 (talk) 15:38, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

Songwriting credits?
With such an extensive history you would think there would be some mention of the songwrier(s). And maybe how the song was originally conceived - if there was a backstory.

Music video director
I don't think any of the Mark Robinsons on the disambiguation page refer to the director of the music video for this song. The Mark Robinson related to this article has a LinkedIn profile and an entry on that lists his music videos. Some of the songs are pretty famous so it would probably good if there was a Wikipedia article on him. Mikenlesley (talk) 08:55, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

New Wave
The infobox currently categorizes this song as new wave. Now I know that's a notoriously ill defined genre, but is anybody seriously going to argue that WLGTDWI is a new wave single? You might as well claim that Walking In The Air is new wave. Sheesh. --Ef80 (talk) 22:20, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
