Dirty Dancing

Why no reference to the Dirty Dancing scene with Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey that features this song? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.218.45.32 (talk) 03:19, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wondering the same thing. Seeing as how for many, that scene is the introduction to the song. Medleystudios72 (talk) 16:53, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

authorship of this song?

excuse me, i don't get it: why does the text state that the song was written by BO DIDDLEY, when the info in the box on the right side says it was written by mickey & sylvia with elias mcdaniel? 188.98.254.157 (talk) 16:46, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, Elias McDaniel = Bo Diddley, and Sylvia Robinson = Vanderpool, but it is a bit of a mess, yes. Rothorpe (talk) 17:52, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reference to Mickey & Sylvia's "Love is Strange".

As read in the entry for Mickey & Sylvia's "Love is Strange": Johansen quotes the lyric "how do you call your lover boy" from Mickey & Sylvia's 1956 song "Love Is Strange".[4] 200.68.133.211 (talk) 20:00, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In popular culture

The Pet Shop Boys refer to a Song "Love is Strange" on their Track "I want to wake up" from 1987.

"I stood at the kitchen sink, my radio played Songs like Tainted Love and Love Is Strange"

Are they referring to the song of Mickey & Syliva, here? I think this is very likely: First, I did not find notable other Songs with the same title and, second, while the timely context and style may suggest that "Tainted Love" rather relates to Soft Cell's Version, it could well be a reference to Gloria Jones' original - which roughly stems from the same era as Mickey & Sylvia's "Love is strange". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.60.43.3 (talk) 11:27, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
