...new enough, long enough, copyvio shows up names chiefly. Hook length ok. I like the hook and it is in the article with a following inline citation to a reference with the hook fact. Whispyhistory (talk) 15:30, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

MWright96 I have PROD'ed the song article for containing nothing but the lyrics of the song, which are probably not public domain. Do you want to improve that article too? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 21:07, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
