[edit] La Bamba?

Does anyone else think that the song is sufficiently close to the older La Bamba to merit a mention? wimbledon andy 17:35, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Yes, La Bamba was definitely an influence. You can almost sing the La Bamba lyrics along with T&S. It is mentioned on the LB page that T&S was somewhat based on LB.-- Walterego (talk) 21:19, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

You can sing "America the Beautiful" to "Auld Lang Syne" as well (and vice versa). Then there's "My Sweet Lord (Do Lang, Do Lang, Do Lang)..." Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 22:28, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Single Chronology

I've looked at a number of websites, both on wikipedia and off, and cannot figure out how to do the single chronology. If someone understands the difference between and single and EP, and whether or not to use US or UK info, please complete the infobox. Thanks, --El Slameron 15:32, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Beatles

Why is the info box just about the Beatles? They were not the first to record it. For great justice. 01:00, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

I suggest you add a new infobox if you wish to add information on another version of the song. --Bensin 08:49, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

He shouldn't have to, the information should already be there in the first place. Wikipedia has a history of excluding less popular bands and this is just another example. If you chose to edit an article you can not just post what you please, all the information should be provided. 68.219.30.13 (talk) 01:39, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Topnotes and Phil Spector

The first version of "Twist and Shout" has a bit of notoriety as well: it was one of the first Phil Spector productions that did not involve him as a composer or his group, The Teddy Bears, as an artist. He was hired to produce the Topnotes' version, and when composer Bert Berns heard the master, he told Spector, "You really fucked it up." When I can find the book that has that quotation, I'll add the section... that is, unless someone else beats me to it. 147.70.242.40 19:48, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Shakeitupferris.jpg

Image:Shakeitupferris.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 this Wikipedia article 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 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
