Source of hook[edit]

Where did you get the info about the original source of the sax hook? I've listened to the Taana Gardner song a bunch of times and I can't hear it anywhere. Is it some special version of that song that contains the hook? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Prshgshl (talk • contribs) 05:09, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

name?[edit]

Can anyone add why this song has the name Calabria? Gryffindor 20:41, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Other deficiencies: no mention of its newfound popularity in a national Target ad, no discussion of the language of its lyrics or their meaning. Robert K S (talk) 04:59, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Usage in advertising is irrelevant unless the track went back to the charts. "Calabria" doesn't have lyrics on its original form, they were added later. --Pc13 (talk) 10:08, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't completely agree with your first statement, and unless there is a separate article for the lyrics-added version, this article is the appropriate place for a discussion of those lyrics. Robert K S (talk) 08:55, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unless there are available sales figures or reported charts placements indicating the advert improved sales of the track, it's only trivia. Thousands of songs are used in commercials and very few derive some popularity from it. But if you can prove "Calabria" sales increased after that advert, then it's fine. But since Target is an American store, that sales increase probably happened only in America. As for the lyrics, what's there to discuss? It's just newly recorded ragga vocals - popular dance music isn't exactly known for its profound lyrical messages. You'd need to source citing what scholar analysis there is of such lyrics. --Pc13 (talk) 12:12, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

first posthumously charted Number 1 single[edit]

Hmm, sad enough, but I think I have to contradict the statement of being "the first posthumously charted Number 1 single". This has been accomplished by the first ever posthumously released single "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" by Otis Redding, which got Number 1 status subsequently. I think this passage has to be deleted. Feinmotoriker (talk) 23:33, 26 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Genre and sub-genre(s)?[edit]
