[edit] Question

Several Internet sites say that there are people trying to sing a song about the Marine Corps that officially has a different tune to the tune of "Clementine" as well as singing "Clementine" to the official tune of the song that they're singing to that tune. Song's title?? Georgia guy 01:11, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] H. S. Thompson

Can someone with knowledge of this author start an article on him, or should wording be added such that nobody thinks this is vandalized to reference the "Fear and Loathing" author? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Xtravar (talk • contribs) 19:01, 1 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Authorship

In the pop culture section this song is attributed to "musician/mathematician Aaron B. Barnett" but I can find to record of this person on the internet, let alone linked to this song. I'm assuming this is vandalism and I'm going to delete it. CClio333 17:00, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] To Whom It May Concern

Clementine (song) goes to a stub page about what is likely a cover of this song. I think it should probably redirect here (as that is where I looked for this song in the first place) with a mention of the cover somewhere in this article. What do YOU (yes, you!) think? 138.69.160.1 21:16, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] African Roots?

Track #25 is based on the exact same melody. Can anyone offer an explanation for this? Is there any evidence this song is based on an old African folk song? 75.72.153.44 (talk) 10:30, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
