explain the meaning of the term "shipoopi"
[edit]Well, the song is pretty clear: "The girl is hard to get, but you can win her yet" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.136.216.38 (talk) 21:58, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

[edit]Um, I hate to break it to you, but the Buffalo Bills barbershop quartet was NOT named after the Buffalo Bills football team. Your own wikipedia article about the quartet says they started in 1950. They were in the original cast of the Music Man in 1957. But the football team didn't get going until 1960. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.18.201.182 (talk • contribs)
Perhaps DO-SI-DO is shown, but the actual notes sung are DO-DO-FA.78998 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.156.173.26 (talk • contribs)
The comment about the Monica Lewinsky clip on the Daily Show doesn't make it clear whether the clip was shown BECAUSE it had Monica Lewinsky in it, or if it was just a coincidence. I'm assuming the former, but I don't know. --ScottAlanHill (talk) 23:19, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
The article says:
Neither the song's lyrics nor the surrounding dialogue specifies the meaning of the term "shipoopi," which Willson invented for the song.
However the song lyrics do say that shipoopi is "The girl who's hard to get." see http://www.allmusicals.com/lyrics/musicman/shipoopi.htm. Jacob81 (talk) 02:35, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
- You're jumping to conclusions. Just because the song says that the same woman is "your shipoopi" and "the girl who's hard to get" does not mean it's saying that a shipoopi is a girl who's hard to get. A person can be described in more than one way. Martin IIIa (talk) 18:02, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
How do you - or can you - reference a DVD? I would provide citation for some of the content of this article, concerning the commentary provided with the 1999 Special Edition in the documentary: "Right Here in River City: The Making of Meredith Wilson's The Music Man." But I don't know if 1) a DVD is an allowable Wikipedia reference, and 2) how to cite it if it is. Kelelain (talk) 11:25, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
