I agree, Billy is clearly a man. I changed the description of the song in the "history" section to reflect that. I also changed the spelling from "Billie" to "Billy," which is the common male spelling of the name, the way it is usually spelled in the lyrics of this song, and the way it is spelled elsewhere in this article.

Fair use rationale for Image:Phil-Collins-Dont-Lose-My-Number.jpg

Image:Phil-Collins-Dont-Lose-My-Number.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 ensure 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.

Video Parody IDs

I'm stumped as to the Micheal Jackson and Elton John videos parodied, although one must be the Western at the beginning and the other the aerobic scene with the dancers in the office. I don't recognize either one. Also, who is "Mel Craigs"? CFLeon (talk) 12:02, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"vivacious young woman"

?

Billy is consistently referred to using male pronouns throughout the song.
