Vaudville[edit]

The lyrics first appeared in May 1778[1], in Johannes Ewald's vaudeville play, The Fishermen, which premiered at the Royal Danish Theatre in January 1780 on the birthday of King Christan VII.

I don't see how the play could possibly be Vaudevillian. From the intro to the Vaudeville page "Vaudeville was a genre of variety entertainment prevalent on the stage in the United States and Canada, from the early 1880s until the early 1930s." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.63.88.111 (talk) 12:23, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Vaudeville has a different meaning in a 18th century european context, which is the meaning of the original french term. Eculeus (talk) 21:29, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Kong Kristian stod ved højen mast → Kong Christian stod ved højen mast — The name "Christian", when used by Danish kings, is always spelled with "Ch", not "K", as seen in all other instances of this name in this article. The title of the song is correctly spelled with "Ch" as shown by reference number 1. Theis101 (talk) 22:57, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Both names appear to have some currency, see [1] [2] for my initial searches, and feel free to try to refine them further... or is there a better way to call this? Andrewa (talk) 00:14, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have the work Johannes Evalds samtlige Skrivter (the Collected Works of Johannes Ewald) in 4 volumes from 1780-1791. The play Fiskerne appears in volume 3 from 1787, and in that edition it says "Christian" (p. 200). While this is not the first edition of the play, which apparently was published on its own in 1778, I doubt that the spelling has changed from the original to this one. Also, the king mentioned is king Christian IV of Denmark, which is spelled with "Ch" in English as well as in most cases in Danish historical literature. So I would support the move to "Ch", the "K" version is not only not in concordance with the original it is also a minority way of spelling the name of the king in both languages today. --Saddhiyama (talk) 14:11, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
