Talk:There! I've Said It Again

Assertion that song is in some way pivotal

Look, this is wrong. The idea that there were "innocent years" is subjective, and just one of a dozen ways of looking at a certain, undefined era of rock-and-roll. The idea that a particular song marked a "dividing line" is simply some author's way of dividing the concepts in his book, not an absolute, subjective, or even commonly recognized concept. The idea that Bobby Vinton, in 1964, was somehow more important than, say the Beatles, the Stones, the Beach Boys, in defining their era...I mean...come on. Really, honestly. He didn't even write the song. I'll even throw in a subjective plea. I listened to rock and roll regularly in 1964. I cannot honestly even remember this song.

Bobby Vinton released the most widely successful version of "There! I've Said It Again" in 1963.

What does this mean? Is there a source for this, or the opinion of an editor? The info is fine, we don't need this line. Tillywilly17 (talk) 21:29, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Looks to me like original 1945 version was a huge hit. Just stick to the facts Jack.
