Talk:Wouldn't It Be Good

The Man Who Fell To Earth
I recall hearing that this song was inspired by The Man Who Fell to Earth. If this can be verified, it would be a good addition to this article (and perhaps a note of trivia in the other). —überRegenbogen 20:12, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:3054512 cascada 200x200.jpg
Image:3054512 cascada 200x200.jpg is being used on this article. 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 this Wikipedia article 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 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Use in Teacher (UK TV Series)
I'm pretty sure the sax riff from this song was used in the intro sequence of UK TV series 'Teachers'

However I can't confirm this without watching the show again. I don't have the DVD.. I can only find on the internet that the only theme song used was "The boy with an Arab Strap" —Preceding unsigned comment added by Podraigporridge (talk • contribs) 15:38, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Inspiration?
I think the "I don't want to be here no more" part in the middle sounds very much like sami joik. There is also other sections that incorporate some sami sounding elements. Can anyone confirm that Nik might be inspired? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.70.183.244 (talk) 11:30, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

Peak outside Top 40 US, any reason it was so heavily played?
I know this is a very subjective concept but in decades of looking up hit 80s songs on Wikipedia I have never discovered a song I heard so often that I felt I could not escape it that also never even hit the Top 40. I am willing to accept that I somehow coincidentally encountered this song more often than average at the time, but is there anything besides anecdotal evidence that this song might have been promoted far beyond its actual commercial performance?
