[edit] Last Verse

The article is really well written! However, the last verse is just a "little" bit incorrect, and i changed it.

"Ich glaube, die Wellen verschlingen
Am Ende Schiffer und Kahn"

The "ich glaube" clause means "i believe" or "i suppose". This changes the meaning of the song, because the element of NOT knowing is a literary device that was employed purposefully. I'm open, as always, to opposing views! O'Donnell 19:55, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Added a picture

I added a picture that i took at the Lorelei from a view where the maiden could have potentially sat. I hope everyone likes it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tobyw87 (talk • contribs).

[edit] Trivia section

The majority of the trivia section is found on the Lorelei (disambiguation) page, and is therefore redundant. The rest of the info should be on the disambiguation page, since trivia sections are discouraged. Unless someone can come up with a better solution, I'll move the pertinent trivia info to the disambig page in a week. Joliefille 05:47, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Needs some work

There's some use of first person in here, which shouldn't be there. The trivia section needs trimmed quite a bit, mainly, nearly all of it should go. After that, I'd think it's a pretty good article. 65.189.170.90 10:47, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lonnie Donegan should be included, with a link to his Wikipedia page

Lonnie Donegan, the King of Skiffle, did a song called Lorelei. It had to do with having kissed various girls around the world, "but I never knew what kissing was 'til I kissed Lorelei." The punch line is "Kissing is her specialty, her one and only dish,/'Cause Lorelei's a mermaid, half a woman, half a fish." I can't find anything online about this song.

[edit] Name

Why at Loreley, not Lorelei? The latter is more common. Rich Farmbrough, 20:38 28 January 2008 (GMT).
