Talk:'Round Midnight (song)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] song substitution
Hope nobody will object to the substitution of the word "song" for tune, composition, etc. in the context of "Round Midnight". While I know that some people do use the word in a more general meaning, it could be misleading to anybody not familiar with the composition in question. And just so that no susceptible soul out there suspects that this is a bad case of US vs. UK Englishes, I provide two authoritative definitions:
Webster's Unabridged Dictionary (1989): song 1. short metrical composition intended or adapted for singing. 2. a musical piece adapted for singing
New Oxford Dictionary of English (1998): song 1. a short poem or other set of words set to music or meant to be sung. 2. singing or vocal music.
