[edit] Velvet Underground

I moved the reference to the Velvet Underground, but does it even need to be there? It has no source and, I think, no merit littlebum2002 17:33, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

I somehow ended up with nine copies of this song in my MP3 library: three tracks reference Tommy James and the Shondells, but the remaining six songs labeled "Crimson and Clover" show the artist as Velvet Underground. It'd be interesting to find out how this came to be (e.g. a tagging error in 1992 that memed into a widespread false assumption?), but I would not want to see this item removed, as it helped me closer to answering my question.
When I looked through the torrents, the seemingly unique (based on length, bitrate & file size) files were:
~ 3:15 Joan Jett / Pat Benatar / The Pretenders / Suzi Quattro
- 5:25 Fleetwood Mac / Simon & Garfunkle / Velvet Underground
- 5:28 Tommy James and the Shondells
The cover by Joan Jett & The Blackhearts is featured on the soundtrack to High Fidelty [1]

[edit] Genre

The genre part of the info box was blank. I put in "psychedelic rock". 74.100.0.150 01:24, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AOL bots

How is this line in the first paragraph relevant? What does it possibly have to do with the song?

The line "Crimson and clover -- over and over!!!" is used by bots in AOL chat rooms.

I believe it should be removed. --216.75.93.110 13:43, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

- I don't think it's relevant either, and it definitely needs to be sourced. Dan ad nauseam (talk) 05:01, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
