[edit] Lyrics
The book in the photo has totally different wording to the text quoted as the rhyme. The one in the photo is the one I know as the 'original', and is read as a poem, whereas the one in the text is sung. It would be helpful if the origination of the two different versions was explained; I believe the short one was written first but have no source for this. --86.142.157.183 02:19, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
- I have tried to address this in my edits. Robert K S 12:07, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Recital voice
Can we get someone who doesn't sound like a total queer to recite the poem? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.89.186.144 (talk • contribs) 23:51, 7 July 2007
- The recital is perfectly fine--Lionelbrits 15:50, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Origin of Melody -- contradiction
The "Merrily We Roll Along" article says the melody was written in the 1840s for another song, but this article says the melody was adapted by Mason from Mozart. 68.161.162.165 (talk) 16:00, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
- Yep, a puzzlement. They question is, what tune by Mozart? One thing is for sure, "Mary Had a Little Lamb" and "Merrily We Roll Along" use the same tune. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 18:43, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
