[edit] Recording?

This interview with André Perry http://www.yellow-sub.net/article.php3?id_article=7759 provides a lot of info about the song, including the need of overdubs for the chorus and the equipment used for the recording and mixing of the song. I could try to put the info on wiki but if someone else wants to do it I won't be against it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.157.236.73 (talk) 03:33, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Was it really an 8-track machine? andreasegde 18:56, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nicauragua?

Has it really been sang by every person from Nicarauga, ever? 68.63.248.123 19:42, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Use in Trial of Billy Jack

IMHO, common sense says that if a notable film includes a notable song, then that fact is worth noting on the song's article (and vice versa). Or at the very least, if the movie is mentioned in the song's article, the mention shouldn't be removed. As an example, the article for the song Kokomo mentions that it is featured in the movie Cocktail, even though all you hear is a 5-second clip of the song in the background (and the article does not reference an external source to back up the fact that the song is in the movie -- wouldn't that be overkill?). The song Give Peace a Chance plays a much more prominent role in the movie Trial of Billy Jack. Capmango 15:01, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rapping

The song intersperses sections of what sounds like rapping. What is the relationship, if any, with rap music? Badagnani (talk) 00:28, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
