Edit Request

It is my opinion that parody (i.e. songs without the original lyrics but to the same melody) should not be included as having preformed the song. Under this theory, some of the cited material would have to be deleted, as the change in lyrics is marked in some instances, and therefore, does not constitute the same song. Let me know what you think about editing out cites that fall under this category. 108.201.29.108 (talk) 06:29, 14 November 2017 (UTC)

I would think that parodies can be included in the article, as they have a very clear connection with the original song. However, they should be included in a separate section.--Megaton Sheriff (talk) 10:11, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

Parts of 500 Miles borrowed in Stop That Train

The well-known reggae song "Stop That Train" by Clint Eastwood and General Saint borrows the line "500 miles, 500 miles" and its melody. I think it's worth a mention in this article, but I don't want to just add it, since that would probably be considered original research. Maybe someone can find a creditable source that mentions this? 78.23.31.228 (talk) 19:43, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
