Did the song "I want you back" have any social, political, or economical influence in it; was it influenced by (or was it influencial in) society, politics, or the economy?

No...it's simply an accessible, bubblegum pop record sung by a kid group. For Motown songs that had social, political, or economical influence, look at the work of Norman Whitfield and the acts he produced (The Temptations, The Undisputed Truth, Edwin Starr). --FuriousFreddy 23:22, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] I Want You Back (Corey Hart song)

Hey, to the one who edited the original "I Want You Back" page to make it a page about Corey Hart's different version, please do the song under this title: "I Want You Back (Corey Hart song)" so there won't be no difficulties. The song was recorded in different versions under the same title by other artists and since the Jacksons' first version was the one people know. I think it's safe to create a new page just for Corey's song alone. Thanks. -- BrothaTimothy

Actually, no; any information on any cover of the Gordy/Mizell/Perren/Richards composition "I Want YOu Back" should be in this article and this article alone. We had a huge issue last year with fans writing seperate articles on different cover versions of songs. --FuriousFreddy 15:41, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

I was surprised to see that the article doesn't mention the "Z-Trip Remix" version of the song, which is fascinating in that it exposes some of the individual instrumental tracks (especially the extraordinary guitar line at the beginning). Are remixes outside the scope of "song" articles? They shouldn't be. --Anon

[edit] Lyrics

Should anything about the song's lyrics be mentioned in the article?

[edit] Reversion unwarranted

Please discuss the specific issues you have with my recent changes. As the edit summary indicated, what I did was "organize into sections, cut back on peacock terms, annotate external links"--none of which qualifies as "unconstructive" as you said on my talk page. 72.244.200.36 (talk) 20:08, 18 May 2008 (UTC).
