You're right, well spotted. Don't know where that tracklisting came from, but I've corrected it now anyway. Thanks :) Bretonbanquet (talk) 17:57, 12 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Album vs. VHS

I think it needs to be made clear that Dedication was released both as an album (probably cassette and CD) and as a (VHS) video. The track listing on the main page appears to be for the video.

Here is the track listing for the album:

1. "Whiskey in The Jar" - 05:45
2. "The Rocker" - 05:12
3. "She Knows" - 05:14
4. "Still In Love With You" - 05:40
5. "Showdown" - 04:30
6. "Rosalie" - 03:14
7. "Wild One" - 04:20
8. "Fighting My Way Back" - 03:15
9. "Jailbreak" - 04:04
10. "The Boys Are Back in Town" - 04:30
11. "Cowboy Song" - 05:18
12. "Don't Believe a Word" - 02:19
13. "Bad Reputation" - 03:08
14. "Dancing in the Moonlight" - 03:27
15. "Do Anything You Want" - 03:54
16. "Waiting for an Alibi" - 04:10
17. "Chinatown" - 04:44
18. "Dedication" - 03:58

I've tried to clarify the various track listings, including the video. Hopefully these are all correct now. Cheers, Bretonbanquet (talk) 16:45, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Whiskey vs Whisky

The Scots spell it whisky and the Irish spell it whiskey, with an extra 'e'. Thin Lizzy are an Irish band and the song is an Irish traditional, so it should be spelt 'Whiskey'. I see on Discogs that it was misspelled on the packaging of this album, so shouldn't we add (sic) here to denote that the song title transcribed as it was found in the original source, complete with this error? Hungoverdrawn (talk)

I don't know where to come down on this one. You bring up some very good points. Even their official website lists it four times, spelled whisky twice and whiskey the other two times, LOL. Since it's not an entirely original song written by Thin Lizzy (described as "Traditional") then perhaps that's the spelling that's been used as it was passed down?
