[edit] Lyrics
Are the lyrics to this song copyrighted? --YankeeDoodle14 04:28, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
They are original to Disney they are copyright. Someone just posted them but I reverted on copyvio grounds. I don't know the rules on fair use to know if posting the complete lyrics is OK. I'm playing it safe unless someone has more information. -- Stbalbach 01:30, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
I posted those lyrics, I'm pretty sure that just stating what the lyrics are isn't classed as copyright infringement. If i'm wrong then thats just stupid, it would mean that anyone who even sings the song without disneys behest would be breaking the law. Plus what is the point in the article if the lyrics aren't included? --Markmagness 09:36, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
- Well, singing the song in your room or whatever counts as Fair Use - like I said, I'm not sure of the legality of Wikipedia and fair use and lyrics - the other thing is lyrics belong on Wikisource - you might want to check with the folks at Wikisource and see what they say about posting copyright lyrics. -- Stbalbach 14:12, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Disney template
The Dead Man's Chest film Disney template takes up half the article. The film is only a minor part of the history of this song. At best that template is fan cruft at worst a giant banner advertisement for Walt Disney. -- Stbalbach 13:20, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
