Fair use rationale for Image:Murray head-one night in bangkok s.jpeg

Image:Murray head-one night in bangkok s.jpeg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 21:42, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've put some fair use rationale on the image description page, but I would appreciate the input of someone else who is more familiar with fair use than myself. Thanks. --Kyoko 21:58, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ABBA members actually sing the choir in at least one instance

See here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaD1BuigS3g for example 1:02 to 1:05 you see Benny, Bjorn, and Frida (though not Agnetha). I think someone in the article should dig a bit deeper to see if this was a one-off show only and add it to the article. ThVa (talk) 18:50, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The song is or has been banned in Thailand

The song either is currently or has been banned in Thailand. Could someone verify and make an entry about this information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.69.129.19 (talk) 20:49, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is certainly what you're told in Thailand. Though you do hear it in tourist bars, you'll never hear it on the radio. I can't find an official statement from the Thai government to that effect, but it would have been published in Thai, before the Internet in any case, but it is mentioned here: [1]

(May 21) In 1985, Thailand's Mass Communications Organization banned Murray Head's hit One Night in Bangkok, saying its lyrics "cause misunderstanding about Thai society and show disrespect towards Buddhism."

So I added that to the article. Barsoomian (talk) 01:31, 24 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Certification discrepency: info box and body

The info box specifies that the certification was gold (France, 1985), whereas the certification in the main bosy lists France as Silver, with Gold and Platinum in Germany and Canada respectively. Can anyone verify this?

what about the song's opening?

it seems unrelated to the rest of the song —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.176.69.51 (talk) 20:53, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the opening is extremely cool! It would be great when someone would expand it into all full version. Or does this song start with part of an existing piece? More info please! Joepnl (talk) 00:45, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Berkeley parody

Does anybody remember a parody, "One Night in Berkeley"? The only line I remember is "This grips me more than would an Egg McMuffin or a Candlestick hot dog."108.225.17.141 (talk) 05:25, 28 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Cover versions

I removed the cover versions section because it was mostly unsourced, having only one dead Yahoo link for a ref. Per policy, covers must be sourced to show their notability independent of the original version. ---The Old Jacobite_{The '45} 13:54, 19 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Constant continuous reverts of my edts

Hello, I would like to understand why EVERY edit I make to that section gets automatically reverted. I leave the "genre" field in the infobox alone, but the following statement is clearly NOT sourced:

In 2005, German group Vinylshakerz remixed the song. It was released in 2005 as the lead single from their debut album, Very Superior. It was a hit across Europe, charting in Austria, Belgium, Finland, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland.

WHERE does that info come from, pray tell? Thanks,

--Whydoesitfeelsogood (talk) 06:31, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The sourced charts are immediately below. It seems very clear to me. Or is there something you specifically dispute? Doctorhawkes (talk) 07:48, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Those sources state it to have been a success in 2005, but none say that it was released in 2005. I mean, it could be an obvious statement, but I added AllMusic because it clearly states when the remix was released. --Whydoesitfeelsogood (talk) 15:10, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The sources below actually do have release dates etc. The German charts in particular have a wealth of information on the dates of release of different formats. Doctorhawkes (talk) 23:59, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
