Talk:Chariots of Fire (instrumental)

Iconic status

This article doesn't seem to convey the iconic status that the tune had for so many years. There's a lot of data on it's billboard success and references in other media, but no discussion of its cultural impact. I would say 'Chariots of Fire' was one of the most recognizable tunes of the eighties or even longer. Can we add some discussion of that? johnsemlak 6:10, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Chariots-of-fire-album.jpg

Image:Chariots-of-fire-album.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Smoking in Video

Removed the reference to Vangelis smoking in the first part of the music video. The comment stood out as the type of superfluous material that needs to be removed to have a clean article. Tim Neely 17:06, 9 August 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tneely (talk • contribs)

"Mr. Mom"

The article notes that the "Chariots of Fire" theme was used both in the films National Lampoon's Vacation and Mr. Mom, but this is inaccurate with respect to Mr. Mom, which actually used a similar / parody-knock-off version of the theme. Recommend that this article content be corrected accordingly. 55.205.6.154 (talk) 15:53, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

Thanks. I've shorteened the entire section, which was turning into an uncited WP:COATRACK. -- Softlavender (talk) 00:40, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

When was it released?

According to the infobox, this single was released March 1981. But the article says it debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 on the week of 12 December 1981, which would be eight months later. Can anyone reconcile this apparent contradiction? Captain Quirk (talk) 08:37, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
