How is Janet Reno's Dance Party USA not referenced as a legacy? It's mentioned in several obits of her today. 172.56.41.76 (talk) 13:17, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

There is also very nice cover from The Leningrad Cowboys on album Zombies Paradise —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.123.206.71 (talk) 13:06, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
could someone tell
what is the song's time signature? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.127.252.236 (talk) 19:54, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
- Ummm...4/4? Mike R (talk) 00:23, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
I'd say 2/4 personally. Caseykcole (talk) 19:03, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
simpsons episode
I forgot the episode, but the song is in one of them. Should be listed I guess. 96.40.147.134 (talk) 23:54, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, I remember Kearney, Dolphin and Jimbo (and Nelson?) singing it in the episode "Marge's Son Poisoning". As a German without IP 70.91.35.27's background knowledge, I am indeed grateful for such reference! --Hodsha (talk) 11:25, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
Oh, please do, no article on Wikipedia is complete unless you mention a Simpons episode. Cripes. (yeah, that was sarcasm in case you didn't get it) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.91.35.27 (talk) 19:19, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
(looking at sarcasm detector) Are you kidding me, this baby's off the charts ! Cephlapod (talk) 16:00, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Inspiration and legacy
An anonymous editor has repeatedly entered information to this article based on one source which appeared online within the last few days and conflicts with other sources. The following reliable sources support the previous version of the article which was also more in line with WP:BLP.
Lieby, Richard "'My Sharona,' Revealing a Knack for Current Affiars?" The Washington Post April 17, 2005: D3
Kilgannon, Corey. "But Would Buddy Sue Peggy?" The New York Times August 19, 2001: 42
Mann, Brent. Blinded by the Lyrics (2005): 74
Lee, Laura. The Name's Familiar (2001): 16
As this is a BLP issue I am reverting to the previous version unless there is a consensus to add the new information. Piriczki (talk) 21:47, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
Single cover
The picture of the single cover in the article is different from others I found in google search that are tagged Sharona Holland and Sharona UK so I suppose this is the American original. --Hodsha (talk) 16:58, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
- I believe it is. — Mudwater (Talk) 23:10, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
