Fair use rationale for Image:SOS - Man In The Middle.jpg

Image:SOS - Man In The Middle.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 09:46, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Pickle Me Grandmother!!

I just removed "Disco" from the "Genre" thingy. This song couldn't be less disco if it tried! Retro Agnostic (talk) 22:30, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Only palindromic no in Australia??

Only in Australia? It's probably also the only song titled with three letters and sung by swedish singers that hit no 1 in the charts in more than 3 countries in northwestern oceania. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.82.252.83 (talk) 15:40, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

ITS 1975 UK YEAR END PLACING

Although SOS only reached No.6 in the UK it was that country's 48th Best Selling Single for that Year, which is rather good for a No.6 Hit. Some UK 1975 Year End Lists have it at No.64. Those Lists are based on Points & not Sales. The No.48 placing is the only one that is truly valid. 82.6.134.233 (talk) 08:32, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
