Talk:Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before

Suggestions

Page Rename

Can I suggest that the page is renamed 'Stop Me (Mark Ronson song)' as the song by The Smiths (Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before) has little significance as it has never been released as a single.

Article are normally named after the original Ajuk 13:13, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

In the scheme of things, would suggest that the Mark Ronson version will be forgotten long before the original, single or no single. --82.69.133.226 11:01, 5 June 2007 (UTC

I bloody hope so.

Listen, I've got a brilliant new idea... well, not so new actually, but good anyway. Let's keep the article's name and make a new one about Ronson's so-called version, for it's a real shame that a page on a song as excellent as this should be polluted with information about something as deeply rubbish as the little wanker's single. Isn't it just so bloody GREAT?

The video of "Stop Me"

Video and There is a Light

Have removed the following, since I don't think it can be true:

The song features the same video as that of There Is A Light That Never Goes Out. This is because there was not enough time to make another video in such a short time period between Stop Me If You've Heard This One Before being banned as a single and There Is A Light That Never Goes out being the single released instead. A second video was later released for 'There Is A Light That Never Goes out'.

There Is a Light pre-dates Stop Me, and was not released as a single until 1992, so this all seems as if its mistaken somehow. Maybe it should be referring to another song. --82.69.133.226 11:01, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Yes, it should be referring to "I Started Something I Couldn't Finish". You can check YouTube for confirmation of that. 80.41.223.10 22:06, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Mark ronson features?

Is that Mark Ronson featured as the main actor in the video? I think that would be a pretty significant fact to include. --Criticalthinker 08:20, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Enjoy the new revision

Thought i'd thoroughly research and expand the article. Now all i have to do is find info on the original, it's meaning and so on. ♥♥ ΜÏΠЄSΓRΘΠ€ ♥♥ ^{slurp me!} 12:45, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

The Album with the same name

What about the compilation from Rough Trade with the same name? Disambiguation? 71.171.204.23 20:47, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Ronson = Rubbish

Need I say more? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.143.69.42 (talk) 16:27, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

No, my friend, you've summed it up exactly.

Starting to get annoyed now!

After doing a brief tour of Smiths singles pages it seems that most of them are like this one - little shrines to all the covers ever made of them but with little reference to the actual song itself. This one is a prime example. I couldn't give less of a damn about Mark Ronson and I didn't come on this page to find out how many stupid awards he won for his stupid uncreative album. There should be literally one line on this page mentioning that Ronson covered it, and the cover can have a page all to itself if it likes. I have heard this one before. Its a Smiths song first and foremost. 79.71.220.61 (talk) 14:18, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Date of release

I believe this single may have been first released in November 1987, placing it before the 'Last Night I Dreamt...' single which was released in December. This fan website seems to agree: http://passionsjustlikemine.com/disc/stopme.htm However I haven't found proof from an official source yet hence not having added it already. 'Stop Me...' was originally delayed due to the Hungerford shootings which took place in August that year. If I'm correct then the timeline in the infobox for both singles is incorrect.
