A fact from Stars Fell on Alabama appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 6 March 2006. The text of the entry was as follows:
That's a great recording. It is of course, one of countless performances by a great number of notable artists. Is this one example of exceptional note (and if so, whom would we cite to that effect) or do we propose creating a list on this page of all notable recordings and performances? (All-Music Guide lists 285 recordings, and I'm sure that their list is incomplete). --Dystopos 06:17, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Anyone interested in this song needs to go to YouTube and search the name RICHARD HIMBER. The list will give you an excellent reproduction of the song with a great vocal by Joey Nash. It is a great listening experience.

This page needs to be modified or split in two. I originally came upon this phrase through a song by The Mountaingoats, and thought I had somewhat solved the mystery (what the heck does Stars Fell on Alabama even mean?) when I saw an Alabama license plate, but that just left me equally confused. Finally, I saw a reference to this from the page about the Leonids (meteor showers), so maybe a page devoted soley to the history of this phrase might be justified, unless the license plate is really just refering to a jazz song, but that seems not to be true, as the license plate has a lot of stars on it, and so on and so on and scoobie doobie do.--Kwierschem (talk) 18:46, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
