On The, On the, or on the

[edit]

When I created this page I copied the name directly off the image of the CD cover. But looking at MY copy of the single today, "on" is in small letters...

I'm confused. --Deano 10:16, 24 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

From the cd cover, it is apparent the correct capitalization is On the which is what this article uses for its title. Last.fm however is using on the incorrectly. I am changing a couple intances of On The to On the in this article's contents. --Anthony5429 03:25, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The official website lists the title as on the, and this title would be in accord with Wikipedia:Manual of Style. Acegikmo1 04:08, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
But also notice on this page of the official site, it is On The. Furthermore, it is I Bet That You... instead of I Bet You.... I'm under the impression it would be best to follow the capitalization on the actual album art (On the). --Anthony5429 09:57, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Well to use the album cover in front of me we wouldn't capitalize anything ;) Robdurbar 09:58, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting...Here, it is On the. Robdurbar, are you saying that your copy has on the like Deano's? --Anthony5429 10:01, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
To be honest, I was simply pointing out that album/single covers are not necessairily the best place to look. On the back of mine all the songs have no capitals i bet you look good on the dancefloor. As for this article... I like all capitals for song titles, but I think we should follow the manner of style, for consistency Robdurbar 10:06, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, sounds good to me. So...this article should be moved to I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor. --Anthony5429 10:09, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yep Robdurbar 10:10, 8 February 2006 (UTC) - done Robdurbar 10:16, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Great --Anthony5429 10:21, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Loaded" statement

[edit]

"it rode the wave of popularity on which the band were riding after sellout gigs at venues such as the" sellout gigs? that's a little negative, is'nt it? Do you agree? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 85.166.245.106 (talk • contribs) .

lol - 'sellout' as in all tickets sold, I think Robdurbar 10:50, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah... I suppose it could be change to "sold out" but I doubt it really makes that much difference. DJR (Talk) 19:11, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

1984

[edit]

In George Orwell's 1984, I believe there are no robots, though this song says 'like a robot from 1984'. Should this be mentioned in the article? Could it refer to something else? omnijohn 22:05, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt it is a reference to 1984... I wouldn't personally think it is worth mentioning. DJR (Talk) 22:22, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Given that the line is "dancing to electropop like a robot from 1984", I'd say that it's most likely a reference to the year itself, rather than Orwell's novel. —DO'Neil 04:27, 2 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, agreed. I had just finished the book 1984 and now see that I was too eager to think that the reference was to Orwell's book. It needn't be mentioned. omnijohn 17:29, 2 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The Terminator was released in 1984. The eponymous villain's first attack on Sarah Connor took place in a dance club called "Tech Noir," which may have been playing electropop at the time (I forget).

Charts

[edit]

Someone needs to edit the charts so they don't extend into the sidebar.Vash Aurion 03:26, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm gonna reduce it to top 40 appearances only; this is almost always the only listed set, with 75 seen only rarely. It'll help reduce the length of the box, which is quite ugly. Robdurbar 07:58, 2 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect Record Listing

[edit]

Is it just me, or is the record listing incorrect? My 7 has "Chun Li's Spinning Bird Kick."

Time of Album

[edit]

I don't think the length of the album, 2:52, is correct, but I don't know what it is. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.2.71.42 (talk) 00:44, 3 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

You mean the song length? It's listed at 2:53 on the wiki album page, close enough, can change it for consistency if you want. The Guy From Ipanema 15:14, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
