Did You Know
A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on October 1, 2007.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ...that some of Frank Sinatra's recordings of the 1964 song "My Kind of Town" change the original lyrics to omit reference to the Union Stock Yard which closed in 1971?

Page move

[edit]

Can't we move this to "My Kind of Town", since the TV show My Kind of Town is the namesake of the song? Gareth E Kegg 01:08, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That is a good idea. However, please do not put any move tags on the article page until after it appears in WP:DYK on or about October 1, 2007.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 21:42, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WP:CHICOTW queries

[edit]

I have posted the following queries at both talk pages for WP:SONG and WPP:MUSIC while this was a COTW.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 18:24, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

1964 or 1965 Grammy nominees

[edit]

It would be interesting to find out if the song was nominated for a Grammy Award since we have confirmed it was nominated for an Academy Award.

Robin and the Seven Hoods was nominated for Best Original Score for a Motion picture. [1] Gareth E Kegg 18:43, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sinatra Oscar noms

[edit]

The Academy Awards do not include the singer in the award for Academy Award for Best Original Song. Thus, I can not use the http://awardsdatabase.oscars.org database to determine how many songs sung by Sinatra have been nominated for Oscars. Is this something that is easy to find out some other way?

See Sinatra's awards Gareth E Kegg 18:43, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
That list does not seem complete because it does not even include this song. However, it does lead me in the right direction.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 20:55, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cover versions

[edit]

Finally, is there a way to research cover versions of My Kind of Town (Frank Sinatra song).

Might help [2] Gareth E Kegg 18:43, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Wow!!!! Thanks.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 21:45, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Title

[edit]

I almost puked when I saw that the My Kind of Town page was occupied by a four-episode, cancelled TV show, I moved it, any admin that sees this can complete the move. This page totally belongs at My Kind of Town. IvoShandor 22:58, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sinatra releases

[edit]

Do we really need to have every Sinatra compilation album that this song appears on? So many compilations are NN, I think the orig album releases of the four different versions are enough. Gareth E Kegg 20:50, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think a complete list is encyclopedic.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 21:32, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GA pass

[edit]

Passes easily...just some minor notes.

  • There shouldn't be refs in the infobox
  • Looks ugly with all those redlinks - if notable, create some! If not, please remove them...
  • Rename the headers in the awards section to "Grammy awards" etc. and use {{seealso|Grammy Awards}}

GAR

[edit]

@George Ho: you tagged this for possibly needing GAR. We're emptying out that category and deprecating the process, as it causes duplicative work (I have to guess why it was tagged). Could you either start a GAR (easy with User:SD0001/GAR-helper), or remove it from the category? Femke (alt) (talk) 10:10, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Connie Francis version of song, My Kind of Town

[edit]

In the 1966 nasty governors race in Maryland, Connie Francis & maybe RNC used a radio & TV ad for GOP candidate, Ted Agnew (later VP, USA). The melody was standard Cahn/Van Heusen. But the lyrics were altered to show support for Agnew. Quite a catchy jingle. For example, some lyrics such as, approx., " ... My kind of man, Ted Agnew is, my kind of man, Ted Agnew is, ...he is a fighter, Ted Agnew is ...It's time to move Maryland with my kind of man..." No lawsuit resulted from use of the song that way by Connie Francis. Agnew went on to win the Governor' race against George P. Mahoney. Connie Francis also did promo songs for Nixon in 1968 Prez.race. This data is true/accurate as reported by this Maryland voting resident, JS. 2601:147:C401:B410:5CE4:EAC6:327B:96B8 (talk) 13:03, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
