Talk:The Thing (song)

Three beats?[edit]

Although the drum is beat three times, it actually only takes up two beats of music. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.170.29.54 (talk) 18:39, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

One lone drumbeat followed by two closely-spaced drumbeats. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} 22:42, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Folk song[edit]

No mention yet of what would seem to be the song's obvious inspiration: The Chandler's Wife, a ribald ditty attributed as "Traditional" and recorded by Oscar Brand in 1949 on Bawdy Songs & Backroom Ballads, Vol. 1. Doug butler (talk) 22:23, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
