from VfD:

Lyrics are not an article, and I doubt the song would be sufficiently notable to merit it's own article anyway. Also possibly a copyvio, though opinions differ on this. --fvw* 01:44, 2005 Jan 11 (UTC)

  • Delete. Although I think it's a notable song - and hella catchy - it risks copyvio and the lyrics alone don't deserve their own page. All you need to do is mention the song on the band's page under "Hits" or "Singles". I'd say that's enough. LockeShocke 01:46, Jan 11, 2005 (UTC)
  • Hey, delete! —tregoweth 02:14, Jan 11, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, Wikipedia is not a lyrics database, possible copyright violation. Megan1967 03:56, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, copyvio, not an article. Wyss 04:22, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete -- Definite copyvio. Remove the lyrics and it is a sub-sub-sub-stub. DCEdwards1966 04:25, Jan 11, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete It would be a bad trend to let this stand. --InShaneee 04:34, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect to the relevant album. -Sean Curtin 04:51, Jan 11, 2005 (UTC)
  • There is no difference of opinion as to whether or not lyrics can exist on Wikipedia. See the history of lyrics.ch for information as to what happens to databases of lyrics. I have deleted the lyrics from the article and vote to Delete what is left. RickK 05:34, Jan 11, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, see Wikipedia:Lyrics -- Curps 06:30, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • I was thinking of rewriting this. However, the articles on the Gin Blossoms and the album New Miserable Experience cover most of the ground that my article on this song would have. Delete this article and create Redirect to New Miserable Experience. Capitalistroadster 09:41, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Speedy the copyvio down/don't let the cops chase us around/The history gone but something might be found/To take its place... Samaritan 10:15, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep! Good song. Any article on a popular song should have a place here. Everyking 16:32, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect to New Miserable Experience. Let it be split into its own article the moment there is enough information to justify it. Tuf-Kat 22:34, Jan 11, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Jealous eel, more like. -Ashley Pomeroy 20:13, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)
