[edit] The Elements

Is it really necessary to cite "Sullivan" as the source of the music for this piece in the tracklisting? The fact that the lyrics are set to a Gilbert and Sullivan tune is explained at length in this article as well as in the main article for The Elements (Song). It makes the tracklisting seem inconsistent ("Clementine" isn't cited as "Montrose, arr. by Tom Lehrer", is it?).

Although now that I think about it, there would be plenty of humorous value if we WERE to cite "Clemetine" as "Montrose, arr. by Porter, Random Italian Composer, Miscellaneous Beat Poet and Gilbert & Sullivan."

I'll have to consider that. But in all seriousness, I'm getting rid of the Sullivan reference for now. (7 August 2007, 63.95.36.13)
