Harlem Shake (song)

Clearly says it is from Los Terroristas. There was already another discussion on this page. I don't think one reliable source making a mistake is correct information. The sample pack that Bauuer sampled also does contain a sample from Maldades, but the part sampled is from Los Terroristas. I was able to find a remix on YouTube that seemed to mash up the 2 songs, but the "con las terroristas" line sounds different than heard in Harlem Shake and if you listen to the original Los Terroristas you can hear that exact line only a few seconds in. The NYT made a mistake; if they reported that black people were naturally far dumber than white people would that be put on an article? I don't think so. It is very, very easy to notice that the line comes from Los Terroristas, not Maldades and that the NYT made a simple mistake. Elephant445956 (talk) 02:21, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"...'Con los terroristas,' which was a refrain on his 2006 single 'Maldades' and popped up occasionally in his other songs. (Rolling Stone)

"...Delgado who sang 'Con los terroristas' on his 2006 single Maldades" (The Guardian)

"Delgado's vocal sample comes from the song 'Maldades'" (Pitchfork)

"Delgado's Maldades and Miller Time by Musson's former rap group Plastic Little are said to be sampled in Harlem Shake." (Straits Times/Associated Press) isento (talk) 02:58, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Can you just listen to Maldades? Elephant445956 (talk) 02:23, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages by deliberately introducing incorrect information, as you did at Paul Begaud, you may be blocked from editing. Binksternet (talk) 15:32, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Go to the Wikipedia pages for those songs. You will see right there that my edits were correct, either that or the Wikipedia pages are wrong. Elephant445956 (talk) 16:28, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You cannot use other Wikipedia pages as your basis. See WP:USERG. BMI Songview Search shows that the song " It's Gonna Work Out Fine" was written by McCoy and McKinney, not Joe Seneca. And at the Paul Begaud bio, the cited source says it was a number 1 song, not a number 2 song: "Two Australian songwriters penned the recent number 1 country song in America..."

But the actual country charts say it only went to #1. Not every reliable source gets everything right. I don't see how there's any better source for whether or not a song went to #1 on the country chart than the actual chart Elephant445956 (talk) 17:58, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

only went to #2

You're right, Billboard's website says it went to number 2. The author who wrote "number 1 country song" might have been referring to its Radio & Records rank. Binksternet (talk) 19:51, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! Drmies (talk) 00:49, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
