Long Distance Call (Muddy Waters song)

(

)

~~... that the Muddy Waters song "Long Distance Call" contains blue notes, the exploitation of migration, and a warning that "another mule [is] kickin' in your stall"?~~

I have no idea what it means for song to "contain exploitation of migration". EEng (talk) 03:26, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

I believe, EEng, that "migration" means Great Migration (African American). George Ho (talk) 06:24, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

ALT1:... that Muddy Waters' 1951 blues song, "Long Distance Call," was inspired by Blind Lemon Jefferson's 1929 song, "Long Distance Moan"?

If the original hook is too confusing, perhaps use ALT1 then. George Ho (talk) 06:39, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

I'm not trying to be difficult, but what does it mean for a song to be "originated from" another song? A does it mean adapted? Based on? I'm serious. This makes no sense. EEng (talk) 07:00, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

Changed to inspired. George Ho (talk) 07:42, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

That at least makes sense. EEng (talk) 11:47, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

Full review needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:55, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

Article is long enough and new enough. ALT1 is approved, not the original hook, which I have struck. The hook is appropriately cited inline to an online source. Checks reveal no evidence of copyvio or close para-phrasing. Good to go. Harrias ^talk 14:35, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
