Talk:You Never Give Me Your Money

Initial text
I removed the lyrics--we usually don't post song lyrics due to copyright. Rob 20:21, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Rob, Not to quibble but are you going around altering articles based on "we usually"? That's not how it works. If you are stating that this is a copyriht infringement, do so. Otherwise it doesn't really sound like you know what you are doing. --APDEF (talk) 10:25, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

opening paragraph
The opening paragragh referring to nasality, mock-baritone, impression of styles, etc, is totally subjective and unreferenced. This isn't a book report.--APDEF (talk) 10:25, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Shouldn't a ref to Spinal Tap be included? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.125.19.104 (talk) 03:41, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

WP:SONGCOVER
Umm,, I'm aware of this guideline, but AFAIK everything in the "covers" section is reliably sourced - indeed, I recall trimming it down to only sourced stuff during the GA review. Can you revert? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  18:14, 6 March 2015 (UTC)


 * The guideline doesn't say that the cover version should be "sourced" – the bar is higher than that. I removed the songs that were not notable per WP:NSONGS, or were not discussed in publications talking about the song itself. WP:SONGCOVER is a really tough guideline, and only a few people on Wikipedia pay any attention to it. Binksternet (talk) 18:26, 6 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I don't understand. If a reliable source says a notable artist released the song on a notable album (as Sarah Vaughan did on Songs of the Beatles), or had attracted attention for playing the concert (as Tenacious D and Paloma Faith have done), then they should have a cursory mention. Sources also mention that Tenacious D changed the lyric to "Any job, got the sack, what the fuck is in my crack" and Faith's cover was derided as rubbish, but per WP:NPOV that information is not needed. I don't mean to pull rank, but if the information wasn't relevant surely the GA reviewer or anyone taking a look when it went to DYK would have mentioned something, wouldn't they? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  18:50, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
 * A notable artist releasing a notable album frequently includes non-notable songs on the album.
 * If the attention that was given to the cover version in the media was not talking about the topic of the song then the attention does not fit WP:SONGCOVER which says:
 * So if there's a concert by an artist, and the artist covers the song, the media coverage about the concert does not meet the SONGCOVER guideline.
 * Here's what SONGCOVER references look like: At the "Long Tall Sally" song article [//books.google.com/books?id=yJes-jdk5kEC&pg=PA335 I just added a Larry Birnbaum book which discusses the song] and the artists who covered it. The book describes in detail the most memorable covers and then it lists the other people who covered it. All of that stuff meets SONGCOVER. Binksternet (talk) 19:13, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but I don't agree with that. I've proposed a change on WT:SONGS, we'll see what consensus makes of that. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  19:26, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

Bass
The bass on the track is definitely McCartney, overdubbed. You can find bootlegs of the original backing track online, and I've seen one with the bass isolated. Harrison did play bass on the backing for "Golden Slumbers" / "Carry That Weight" at a later session. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  16:40, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

Background
Reworded the 2nd sentence in this section so it's clearer which "session" is which.--Daveler16 (talk) 22:44, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
