I will begin this review later today. Pancake (talk) 05:06, 1 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

Composition
  • "...in a way reminiscent of "Somethin' Stupid" (1967)". Whose song is this?
  • Added
  • "...and portray the protagonist as both funny and lonely". I don't feel like the "funny" part is mentioned in the source given here. It states that The Replacements' original has a "feigned nonchalance" (sort of a pretend "I-don't-care" attitude), while Lorde's has a "drama of lonely insecurity".
  • Done
  • "Writing for Spin, J.D." No full name available here? If not, perhaps write, "Writing for Spin, critic J.D"
  • Fixed to "editor J.D."
  • "In an interview, Westerberg said:..." Perhaps include that the interview was conducted by Los Angeles Times.
  • Agree. Done.
Other versions
  • Ref #16 confirms that Kindness' cover is house, but not electropop.
  • Fixed.
  • "New Zealand singer Lorde covered "Swingin Party" as the B-side to her second single, "Tennis Court"." Include the year she covered it somewhere in this sentence.
  • Done.
References

A lot of the references are lacking publishers, ref #1 doesn't need one as New York Times Co. publishes The New York Times. It's pretty redundant to include both. However,

Ref #25, Village Voice's publisher, Voice Media Group
  • Well, I don't think that publishers are really necessary here, per several recent FAs (4 or "Talk That Talk".

Where can I read ref #14?

It's in the journal. Simon (talk) 10:05, 1 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

Once these minor issues have been fixed, I will read through it again and see if there's anything else to be dealt with. Pancake (talk) 05:54, 1 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

Added two minor comments. Once they are fixed this is a pass. Pancake (talk) 07:45, 4 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
