Article name spelling

I've checked most of the cited sources that are available online, and they all spell the title of the song as "Accentuate the Positive." If the odd spelling by with the article is now titled cannot be documented, I propose that we change the title to use the standard spelling of its words. DougHill (talk) 15:30, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

All the albums I've seen on iTunes have the song listed as "Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive". If you're using the Internet your search engine mayn't recognise it due to, as you said, the odd spelling. As far as I know it's spelled correctly. Griffin4prez (talk) 18:14, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Could we get a citation to this effect into the article? DougHill (talk) 18:13, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

If citing iTunes is acceptable under Wikipedia's policies, I don't see why not. I'm not a very experienced editor so I truthfully wouldn't know. Griffin4prez (talk) 17:21, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

I don't see why not either. I'd say be bold and add it. DougHill (talk) 23:43, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Featured in The Singing Detective

If I remember correctly, this song is used in the tv series The Singing Detective, written by Dennis Potter. The doctors and Nurses sing the song while performing a choreography, trying to cheer the main character up, who responds to the positivity of the lyrics with derision. It's been over 10 years since I've seen this, so maybe someone who has it on video or DVD can add the precise details to the article? 78.23.228.141 (talk) 04:35, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
