River of Love
The article about the George Strait song River of Love states that there is a ukulele in the song, but there is no credit for a session musician playing ukulele. When it is performed live, I noticed that it is actually a mandolin. There is a credit for a session musician playing mandolin. Should this article be changed? 108.0.244.168 (talk) 08:49, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
 * The statement that there is a ukulele in the final recorded version of the song is not referenced, so it could reasonably be removed or changed. If the latter, the new material should be referenced.  The article does contain a referenced statement about how the song was originally composed on two ukuleles; it's not an online citation but there's no reason to suppose it isn't authoritative. -  Ka renjc 09:02, 4 May 2013 (UTC)


 * How would I reference this? the album Troubadour has a credit for a musician playing mandolin, but I can't find a place where it says what instruments are used on each song on the album.  I can only hear a mandolin in the recording and in live performances, as well as see it in the credits.  108.0.244.168 (talk) 09:46, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

Flintstones choral finale
I remember there being a Flintstones episode which ends with a feel-good choral finale, the song reminds me of I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing (in Perfect Harmony), and it is neither the Pebbles/Bam Bam song "Let the Sun Shine In" nor the Old Mac Donald choral song. Assuming this is not a confabulation on my part, can anyone identify the song and/or episode? μηδείς (talk) 22:21, 4 May 2013 (UTC)


 * The actual theme song was quite peppy, so could it have been some variation on that (with or without "we'll have a gay old time") ? StuRat (talk) 07:28, 6 May 2013 (UTC)


 * I am beginning to think it may have been the ending of the episode in which the Pebble's and Bam Bam song was introduced, with the on-screen audience joining in. I'd still like the name/season-episode number of that show. μηδείς (talk) 20:29, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Are any of the Flintstones shows on Youtube? Are any of the DVD's available for rent or from a library? ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 21:20, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
 * That episode is the first in season 6: "No Biz Like Show Biz". There are a couple of lists of Flintstones musical numbers on youtube, but none that seem to be a good match. Are you sure it was an episode and not a special? Clarityfiend (talk) 22:07, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I remember seeing it as run in the regular afternoon syndication as a kid in the 70's, perhaps three or four times. I did look at the youtube videos and none was a match.  It certainly doesn't match the babies singing by themselves in the main clip from the show, but I could imagine it might be the ending if the others join in.  Knowing the episode number I can see if it is available by hook or by crook. μηδείς (talk) 01:53, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I found the episode at tube plus dot me and it is not what I am thinking of. I am more and more worried I have conflated that song with the Boy Scout Jamboree episode. μηδείς (talk) 17:50, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
