"Hynde tears up while singing this song"[edit]

I think that sentence should be removed. Maybe that happend at one time, but certainly not all the time, like the sentence suggests. There is a lovely unplugged version of the song at youtube ( Pretenders The Isle of View Added: February 10, 2007), while a moving rendition, she seems rather totally in charge. Even if it were true occasionally (and could it be acted?), I don't think this is something to read in an encyclopaedia. --83.77.162.6 09:29, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Selena - "Fotos y Recuredos"[edit]

Shouldn't Selena's song have its own article? It's not exactly a cover. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ian-sama (talk • contribs) 18:25, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Song Meaning[edit]

"The song was originally going to be about Ray Davies, leader of the band The Kinks. Lead vocalist/guitarist Chrissie Hynde and Davies were a couple and had a daughter together, but the meaning of the song changed after James Honeyman-Scott, the Pretenders guitarist, died of a drug overdose at the age of 25 in 1982. "

These 3 statements do not really relate to one another.

Nor do they explain the song's meaning. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.218.211.54 (talk) 10:04, 24 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Billy Bremner[edit]

The link for Bremner went to the page for a Scottish soccer player. I've changed it to direct to the Rockpile musician. Tigerman2005 (talk) 23:17, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In the key change after the 2nd verse (to Dm) it's an A7 with an 'f' added up on the top string (not E7). The A7 with an 'f' is technically an A7#5 chord but it's over so quickly it might actually be considered an appoggiatura (non chord tone)... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.112.150.69 (talk) 03:07, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Morrissey Cover[edit]

Why was my addition of Morrissey's cover removed? Released as a proper single by a notable artist, it doesn't seem to violate any of the notability rules.

“a chord invented by George Harrison”[edit]

Ah, Wikipedia. This chord is simply an E7b9 and it is from what I can tell not even in the song! The song is in D major for most of the time and E major by the end, after a D minor bridge section. E7b9 would be the II of D minor. There is a resolution to E but it is after the A7 chord plays. There is no E7b9 here. And sorry George, bless your soul, maybe the arrangement is distinct but plenty of songs have employed a 7b9 chord, root note & key notwithstanding. Chords are not invented but employed.
