I will begin this review later today. Pancake (talk) 05:06, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Composition

"...in a way reminiscent of "Somethin' Stupid" (1967)". Whose song is this?

Added

"...and portray the protagonist as both funny and lonely". I don't feel like the "funny" part is mentioned in the source given here. It states that The Replacements' original has a "feigned nonchalance" (sort of a pretend "I-don't-care" attitude), while Lorde's has a "drama of lonely insecurity".

Done

This still needs to be fixed in the lead. Pancake (talk) 07:45, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"Writing for Spin, J.D." No full name available here? If not, perhaps write, "Writing for Spin, critic J.D"

Fixed to "editor J.D."

"In an interview, Westerberg said:..." Perhaps include that the interview was conducted by Los Angeles Times.

Agree. Done.

"In an interview with..." → "In an interview for..." Pancake (talk) 07:45, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Other versions

Ref #16 confirms that Kindness' cover is house, but not electropop.

Fixed.

"New Zealand singer Lorde covered "Swingin Party" as the B-side to her second single, "Tennis Court"." Include the year she covered it somewhere in this sentence.

Done.

References

A lot of the references are lacking publishers, ref #1 doesn't need one as New York Times Co. publishes The New York Times. It's pretty redundant to include both. However,

Ref #2, #15, #17, AllMusic's publisher, All Media Network
Ref #4, #7, LA Times' publisher, Tribune Company
Ref #6, Rolling Stone's publisher, Wenner Media
Ref #9, #10, #13. Billboard's publisher, Nielsen Business Media (the current publisher is Prometheus Global Media but this issue was published in 1996)

Ref #25, Village Voice's publisher, Voice Media Group

Well, I don't think that publishers are really necessary here, per several recent FAs (4 or "Talk That Talk".

Ok then. Pancake (talk) 07:45, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Where can I read ref #14?

It's in the journal. Simon (talk) 10:05, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Once these minor issues have been fixed, I will read through it again and see if there's anything else to be dealt with. Pancake (talk) 05:54, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Added two minor comments. Once they are fixed this is a pass. Pancake (talk) 07:45, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Done all. Thank you! Simon (talk) 10:52, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
