Talk:Creeque Alley

Creeque is the name of the song. The actual alley that was named by Henry Creque that found the treasure on "Treasure" island and is Creque Alley. You can google "Creque Alley St. Thomas" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnphantom (talk • contribs) 23:47, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

I've added a link to this article from the Deliver album article. I'm not sure if it's enough to remove the tag. --SincereGuy 17:06, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

I'd say no, it still needs to be more substancial (I'm eventually going to add some info from the song itself, but I doubt that will still be enough). --Lenoxus 01:46, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

The song could merit its own page

If the lyrics were given and explained in detail. --JimH443 18:42, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Indeed, there is so much material within the song that needs explaining, a very nice article could be written. I just got finished watching the PBS documentary and learned everything about the song. I was amazed--I have known the song since it came out and never really thought about what it meant. I'm so glad I finally understand it completely. 87.210.41.124 20:11, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

All right, so my own excuse for not simply distilling the lyrics onto the page is that I can't find an official, legal, and (hence) source-able version of them. The only source I know for comprehensive legal music is Yahoo! Music ([1]), and this page of theirs, I think, explains the gestalt of the problem pretty well. It's all because of the familial closeness of much of the hip-hop community! Well, OK, that's probably the wrong conclusion to draw. It's just an example they gave. Anyway, grr… $\sim$ Lenoxus " * " 03:50, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Tags, issues?

I'm uncertain on whether the tags still apply.

Organization: There are three subheadings on lyrics under "Background" - this may be unconventional, but the text in each suitably explains the song's references and subject matter. Actual background such as John Phillips' stated reason for writing it might properly lead off an updated Background section.

Additional citations needed: The article has 20 reference citations; most Wiki song articles with chart info typically don't cite all sources for chart standings (but should!) - an avoidable, but too-common thing.

I would suggest adding more context from the group members or others talking/writing about the song; and that the article be reviewed for removal of the "issues" tag -- or at least the layout guidelines note. Dano67 (talk) 16:45, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
