This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force in an effort to ensure all listed Good articles continue to meet the Good article criteria. In reviewing the article, I have found there are some issues that may need to be addressed, listed below. I will check back in seven days. If these issues are addressed, the article will remain listed as a Good article. Otherwise, it may be delisted (such a decision may be challenged through WP:GAR). If improved after it has been delisted, it may be nominated at WP:GAN. Feel free to drop a message on my talk page if you have any questions, and many thanks for all the hard work that has gone into this article thus far.

The article fails on undue weight; when half the readable prose is devoted to some geeky hang-up over one line of the song there's something seriously wrong... This certainly deserves mention since it has received coverage in the media, but within reason. Instead, the article should be devoted to what a song-article should be about: background, composition, production, critical reception and commercial reception. Most of these subjects get far too little attention. Lampman (talk) 18:58, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Since no significant improvements have been made to the article over the last week, I will now delist it. Lampman (talk) 20:53, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
