[edit] Title

• Why is this article titled "Dizzy Miss Lizzy" when the song is "Dizzy Miss Lizzie"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.229.57.173 (talk) 23:55, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes, that is strange. The Beatles album "Help!" spells the name "Lizzy", but I have no idea how Larry Williams originally spelt it. I think for the timebeing I will change the article to fit in with The Beatles, but if someone can offer evidence of it being spelt the alternate way they we can revert, when talking about the original song.

It's been two months since this was talked about; since no one has come forward and said anything about the spelling or made any mention of it on the actual page, I'm going to go ahead and move it to Dizzy Miss Lizzie.BocoROTH (talk) 00:03, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Ok, I'm slightly confused now. On the Beatles album, the track is quite clearly titled "Lizzy" with a 'y', so for any references to that cover song it should still be spelt that way at least. Do we have any verifiable evidence to support the claim that it is infact spelt with an 'ie'? Searching on Google sends mixed results, but more often it is 'y' than 'ie'. I don't see how we can stand by 'ie' when there is no evidence for it. Gbrading (ταlκ) 14:07, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

I support moving to Dizzy Miss Lizzy since that is how it's spellt on all albums I've seen. ☺ Spiby ☻ 13:12, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
