My Mummy's Dead
Created/expanded by Rlendog (talk). Self nom at 21:14, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
 * ... that in "My Mummy's Dead," John Lennon used the tune of the nursery rhyme "Three Blind Mice" to achieve a chilling effect?


 * Just in case, I moved the nomination to December 16, the day that the redirect become an article (again), just one day after the article became a redirect. I don't know whether it should be December 17, the start of expansion. --George Ho (talk) 21:27, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
 * The 5x expansion began on Dec. 17 (from the stub the redirect was restored to), so that should be the date it is listed at. Rlendog (talk) 21:31, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Reverted back to December 17. --George Ho (talk) 21:33, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Symbol question.svg 5x expansion verified (starting on December 16). Long enough, well-written, well-referenced. However, I don't see the connection between the "Three Blind Mice" tune and the "chilling effect" directly stated (and referenced) in the article. The only statements that mention "chilling" talk about the "blankness of John's delivery" and how the song is "capturing the essence of psychological pain and intimating at its persistence".

 * Rereading the Du Noyer quote the link is not as explicit as I thought, though I may have gotten that from a quote I didn't use in the article. In any case, it may be better avoid the implication of causation by rewording the hook as:
 * ALT1: ... that in "My Mummy's Dead", John Lennon used the tune of the nursery rhyme "Three Blind Mice" and achieved a chilling effect?
 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Nice. Offline hook refs AGF. ALT1 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 22:40, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
