The Changingman

 * ... that Paul Weller's first solo UK top ten hit, "The Changingman", sampled Electric Light Orchestra's "10538 Overture", which in turn sampled The Beatles' "Dear Prudence"?

 * Symbol possible vote.svg Article was created in the correct period. Length is a bit short, but exceeds the minimum number of characters required. Hook is interesting, but does not accurately reflect the article, which says that "The Changingman" samples ELO AND the Beatles. It does NOT say that ELO sampled the Beatles. Furthermore, the article must not be tagged as stub. Additionally, fact in the hook is cited to an offline source (although an online source says Weller "borrowed" from ELO, which is not the same as sampling), so cannot verify. No close plagiarism/close paraphrasing from online sources. — howcheng  {chat} 08:04, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

 * I suppose "borrowing from" could include sampling, so we can let that one go, but you'll need a citation for the ELO to Beatles connection. — howcheng  {chat} 16:43, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Done. I have no idea what the difference between borrowed from and sampled is.-- Laun  chba  ller  05:35, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Sampling is the process of using a recorded music in another piece of music, but I would interpret "borrowing" to mean that the songwriter copied a portion (e.g., you have the same bass line or a guitar riff), but they played it on their own instruments instead of using the actual recording from the other song. Anyway, we are now Symbol voting keep.svg good to go. — howcheng  {chat} 17:37, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
