- Um, so what? "Les Feuilles Mort" is a French song. "Autumn Leaves" is an American song with a French melody, or a French song with American lyrics, but regardless, hyphenates are American. But then, there are no standards for this stupid article, just "some editor thinks a song qualifies for it." --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 15:49, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

In the list of songs, the credits for "Can't We Be Friends" is incorrect. It should list Kay Swift as COMPOSER and Paul James as LYRICIST, not vice versa. Refer to the Wikipedia page for the song for confirmation.
