Rod Stewart & Cher as the sample cover? Aggggh! --ND 18:30, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

I think it's silly, too, but you're welcome to delete it and/or change it to something else. Softlavender 12:09, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lyric switch

Something needs to reflect the fact that in most subsequent cover versions (as far as I know) the lyrics are changed to make the song a genuine romantic or torch song, rather than having the sarcasm or sexual charge of the original. (Also, in every version I've heard, it was performed without the original Broadway-style "oom-pah" accompaniment.) Lbark 04:51, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree wholheartedly. The original lyrics present a celebration of feminine sexuality that has been shameless bowdlerized in most covers to remove the sexual overtones. Frederica von Stade's cover, because it is true the original's celebration of sexuality, surely is among the finest renditions of the song. Eric Alan Isaacson (talk) 05:28, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

That may be, however the wording as you've put it on the article page counts as original research unless you can cite a reliable source backing those opinions - are you able to provide that? Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 09:55, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:BB&B-cher-rod.jpg

Image:BB&B-cher-rod.jpg 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 Wikipedia articles 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 01:01, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
