Talk:Live and Let Die (song)

Why Mention Guns and Roses?

They suck and everyone knows it. Why mention them? It does a total diservice to Sir Paul. Get rid of the puke reference of G&R.

BARF!

Let's not be slaves to the record company B.S. VOMIT!

I don't know who keeps trying to attribute "Bohemian Rhapsody" to Paul McCartney, but either find a *LOT* of reliable sources that say as much, or quit saying that the song was based on "Live and Let Die."

What does it mean?

So what does the song mean? What does "Live and let die" mean? --72.202.150.92 03:08, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

See Live and Let Die (novel). It's a take-off from the common phrase (as noted in the song's lyrics) "live and let live".Terry Thorgaard (talk) 14:00, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

How is Penn's opinion of the lyrics at all notable? I'll delete it soon unless someone voices an objection. - — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.200.246.115 (talk) 14:46, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Janis Joplin Cover

Janis Joplin also covered "Live and Let Die" --at least in live performances, but I don't have the details of when and where. I believe she appears singing it on a DVD of her live performances, but I don't have the DVD. --Swiftytomato (talk) 20:08, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

That would be truly amazing, considering Joplin died in October 1970 and the song was written in 1972 at the earliest. Unless this is a DVD from beyond the grave? --Rodhullandemu 20:25, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Shrek 3

The song was in Shrek 3, that should be mentioned —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.86.119.65 (talk) 01:15, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

It was also stated in the Wikipedia article, List of songs featured in Shrek... or shall we remove it from there as well? — Preceding unsigned comment added by L22W (talk • contribs) 19:35, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

The mention of a song used in a film on the song's article is trivial. Best, yeepsi (Talk tonight) 19:48, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
