See discussion going on at Category talk:Musical compositions.

The present category definition of category:pieces has some vague edges, e.g. regarding Daphnis et Chloé by Ravel (and so many other compositions with "undefined" lyrics), and all operas (which have "lyrics", but can not be categorized either as "albums" or "songs").

Instead of taking part in the discussion here, please take part in the general discussion at Category talk:Musical compositions.

Here is a list of comments from the talk section of the Song Stubs category that are recommended for the Songs category:

If any of these songs have any TV/Movie occurances (e.g. commercial ads, PSAs, TV shows, movies, etc.), mention those occurances in these stub articles. --TheSamurai 03:18, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Any songs in this category and some songs articles outside this category should have information about who covered/sampled the song, and the predecessors of the song (i.e. this song contains fragments of or is a cover of that musicians song). --TheSamurai 14:16, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I had a tip to obtain TV/Movie occurance info in an individual song; go to IMbB.com and click tips on the search box, and look for soundtracks button after that. --TheSamurai 03:08, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

This is all well and good if the song already has a decent article but these snippets of trivial information should not be the basis for an article. I see you have created quite a few of these articles that are now cluttering this category because you've not even included enough information to categorise them properly. Please read Wikipedia:WikiProject_Songs before creating any more song articles. --Moochocoogle 20:37, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Websites about song covers/sampled/answer

I am having trouble looking for the name of a song from the Simpsons that has the same beat as Jump Around by House of Pain. Also, there is a song that references the GAP band song Early in the Morning that was made rather recently that I can't find the name of either. Will you put some weblinks to good cover/sample/answer song database websites that can help me find the answer to my question?

Here is an example results of seraches this website might project:

Search:Thomas Dolby

She Blinded me with Science
- Was sampled by Mobb Deep

Search:MC Hammer

U Can't touch this
- Samples Superfreak by Rick James.

Please help me on this; Im begging you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! --TheSamurai 03:10, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

We have a cat for songs by key, why not tempo?
