[edit] Blackfoot song

Originally, "Highway Song" was a big hit for the band Blackfoot, which was around long before System of a Down was even created, and obviously became a hit for the band Blackfoot before it was a hit for SOAD. In this case, should this article remain titled the same? It wasn't actually a released single for SOAD but was one of Blackfoot's most notable hits, and appears on many lists as one of the greatest southern rock songs of all time (just search in any search engine for that last phrase). So, what should be done? Zchris87v 06:46, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

No, its a track on the system of a down album "steal this album". If you wish, go create a page for that song for the album on which it appeared. This is the page for System of a Downs version of "Highway Song". It makes no sense to change this page with anything related to any previous versions of the song.

It should also be noted that System of a Downs version would be considered more popular. But if you wish, create a page for the Blackfoot song of the same name and have this it appear in "Highway Song" Disambiguation. --Robnubis 22:00, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
