Untitled[edit]

Attention: WikiProjectSongs. Shouldn't this article be class assessed as a list? robertjohnsonrj 23:33, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"A Whole New World" should've been on this list without a doubt!

Deletion[edit]

How does the case you cite apply here? Seems we went through this once before, and I seem to recall that what comes out of AFI is not copyrightable, as it has something to do with it being gov't agency/federally funded. Please elaborate on your deletion criteria. --SigPig |^{SEND - OVER} 08:18, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Creative input makes this not just a list of data. With it being more than that, it is covered as creative content. As a creative item, this is a copyright violation to have it up here. If you can find something that says otherwise, please point the direction. Copyright violations are Speedy deletes, not AfD. Slavlin 00:33, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

From my limited understanding of copyright law, reprinting the list is a borderline case, and I can understand if an administrator removes the list to be safe. However, the fact that the remainder of the article would be a stub is not a criterion for any form of deletion, much less speedy deletion.--FreeKresge 02:51, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Um, wouldn't that case apply to all of the lists in the AFI 100 Years... series? If so, then wouldn't it be appropriate to either remove or keep all of the lists? It doesn't seem right that this list should be singled out. UnfriendlyFire 05:25, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pls Restor the List[edit]

List is a public domain, A user wrote to the AFI: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:AFI%27s_100_Years..._100_Movies

Permissions[edit]

For copyright clarification for this list, please see OTRS ticket 2007041310002766. Mak (talk) 01:36, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The original AFI list, which can be seen by following the link at the bottom of the page has only #, Song, Movie, and Year as entries. Also, everything is uppercase, making it very hard to read. The Performer information has been added by Wikipedia, is important clarification, and and as such we can freely edit it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fairce (talk • contribs) 15:49, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

:Here is rest of AFI info on criteria for the list just in case somebody wants to expand article text.

These songs set a tone or mood, define character, advance plot and/or express the film’s themes in a manner that elevates the art of film. These songs also capture the nation’s heart and resonate across the century.

The AFI’s 100 Years…100 Songs television special, hosted by John Travolta, originally aired on June 22, 2004.

SELECTION CRITERIA

The jurors were asked to consider the following criteria while making their selections:

Feature-Length Fiction Film: The film must be in narrative format, typically more than 60 minutes in length.
American Film: The film must be in the English language with significant creative and/or financial production elements from the United States.
Song: Music and lyrics featured in an American film that set a tone or mood, define character, advance plot and/or express the film’s themes in a manner that elevates the moving image art form. Songs may have been written and/or recorded specifically for the film or previously written and/or recorded and selected by the filmmaker to achieve the above goals.
Cultural Impact: Songs that have captured the nation’s heart, echoed beyond the walls of a movie theater, and ultimately stand in our collective memory of the film itself.
Legacy: Songs that resonate across the century, enriching America’s film heritage and captivating artists and audiences today.

Marnie Nixon, Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly?[edit]

"Judy Garland has 5 entries on the list (#76, #61, #26, #11, and #1 with "Over the Rainbow"). She is the most represented singer. Julie Andrews (#88, #64, #36 and # 10) and Barbra Streisand (#46, #16, #13 and #8) tied for second place with four entries each."

Marnie Nixon 4, Fred Astaire 4, Gene Kelly 5? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tsinfandel (talk • contribs) 00:23, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

High Noon song[edit]

You have Frankie Laine listed as singing High Noon. Although his was the popular version, I believe that the song in the movie was performed by Tex Ritter.

I have a copy of the film. It is definitely Frankie Laine singing, not Tex Ritter. I can easily tell the difference.

Aquarius[edit]

I'm pretty sure the performer of Aquarius from Hair is Ren Woods but nobody is listed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.96.181.187 (talk) 03:37, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
