Talk:Mighty Like a Rose

Relationship between titles

The article claims that this album's title is "presumably" a reference to the pop-standard by Frank Lebby Stanton and Ethelbert Nevin but does not elaborate or specify. What is that relationship? Rammer (talk) 04:35, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

   I am unclear what more might be clarified abt that relationship, but our editor's statement of that problem was even fuzzier than the the situation they found in their sources. I have eliminated most of our editor's syntactic ambiguity, lest editors less obsessive-compulsive than i am grow distracted in reasoning out what that colleague has to (per exhaustive elimination of nonsensical tho grammatical syntaxes) have intended; perhaps research, beyond the scope of my reasoning, will clarify more authoritatively what EH's detailed process or intent was.

   I think my recollection of the title phrase comes from a barbershop quartet arrangement proposed for a chorus i was in, and that (other than use of the minstrel show dialect) those lyrics match up with the album title(s). Are there no interviews with the artists that confirm the titles derive from the lyrics???

Dab issue

   I'm less interested in whether the primary topic has been correctly identified (tho i doubt it has), than in assuring that there's a wp:hatnote on each of the three mutually related topics that i'm aware of

(to wit

Mighty Lak' a Rose

Mighty Like a Rose

Mighty Like a Rose (Eddie Harris album))

that links to the other two of those three pages.

   And i'm thinkin' that the efficient interim way to do that -- while we wait for a presmably long-term solution to the underlying need -- is to link each of the three pages, via those hatnotes, to both of the others.
