I can find no verification that GMPD covered this song. Why are they mentioned in this article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.210.192.41 (talk) 20:17, 5 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Sale on eBay

Latest comment: 14 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I recently heard from an unreliable source that the rights to this single sold on eBay for 500 British Pounds. I can't find any reliable information to back that up but if it's true, I think that it would be a notable addition to the article. OlYellerTalktome 14:03, 3 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Saw

edit

It's really funny if you play this song when Adam starts playing Zep's tape at the end of Saw.

When was the Reverendburn section added? I checked the video, it only has 43K hits, and it's not anything of quality. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.229.168.73 (talk) 00:53, 16 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Inclusion in Skate 3

edit
Latest comment: 7 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

This song is also in Skate 3 as part of their soundtrack. Does anyone know a verifiable source that has the track list for this soundtrack? I found it on Genius [1] but it's listed as unreviewed and also apparently comes from Wikipedia Skate_3#Soundtrack. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:58A:8501:95D0:BC5B:2EF8:887E:FF79 (talk) 01:18, 5 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

A parody of this song appears in Hbomberguy's video about Climate Change Denial. Is this notable for inclusion? Scoott2016 (talk) 19:28, 23 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Infobox and lead

edit
  • The B-side is not sourced anywhere in the body
  • Why are the genres ordered differently in the infobox from the body?
  • Stylize as US instead of U.S.
  • The production credit needs to be written out in the body to be mentioned in the lead
  • Start a new sentence at the song's 1988 release, mentioning that an extended version was released three years later
  • "song whose lyrics were based" → "song, with lyrics that were based"
  • "and it features androgynous vocals" → "and features androgynous vocals"
  • Remove the instrumentation since this is too much detail for the lead
  • Remove the director introduction to Jonathan Demme per above
  • "he featured "Goodbye Horses" in his film" → "he featured the song in his crime comedy film," with the pipe
  • "from his psychological horror film" → "of his psychological horror film,"
  • "widely lauded for its use of the song." → "widely lauded for the usage."
  • ""Goodbye Horses" has since been used" → "Since this, the song has been used"

Composition and writing

edit
  • "only earthly and finite."" → "only earthly and finite"." on the audio sample text per MOS:QUOTE
  • Remove the singer introduction to Q Lazzarus since that being in the lead is sufficient
  • "after Q Lazzarus and the Resurrection disbanded" → "after the band disbanded" but this part is not sourced
  • The "dreamlike" quote is not sourced
  • [2] should solely be invoked at the end since a ref should only be used once in a sentence
  • [10] should be invoked after snare drums instead per it sourcing info up to here
  • Where are the drum pads sourced?
  • "had a "strangely" → "has a "strangely"
  • "in its lyrics," → "in the lyrics,"

The Silence of the Lambs appearance

edit
  • Remove overly obvious wikilink on New York City
  • It is only sourced that the song was played, not any demo(s)
  • "fuck me so hard,"" → "fuck me so hard"," per MOS:QUOTE
  • Is all of the film synopsis really sourced?
  • In the scene, the film's antagonist, serial killer Buffalo Bill puts on makeup in the mirror[1] and plays with his nipple ring while his victim, Catherine[2] attempts to escape from a pit.[3] As the song plays, Buffalo Bill says to himself, "Would you fuck me? I'd fuck me. I'd fuck me so hard",[4] and then begins dancing naked into a video camera[5] with his penis and testicles tucked between his legs to see himself as a woman[6] as Catherine cries in the background.[7] benǝʇᴉɯ 05:28, 13 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • Add the release year of "Her Strut"
  1. ^ "...is of the serial killer Buffalo Bill making himself up..."
  2. ^ "...his character toys with his nipple ring...Catherine sobs in the nearby pit."
  3. ^ "...while his desperate captive attempts an escape..."
  4. ^ "Then he speaks. 'Would you fuck me?' he muses. 'I'd fuck me. I'd fuck me so hard.'"
  5. ^ "...dancing naked for a videocamera..."
  6. ^ "...as he tucks his penis between his legs so as to envision himself as a woman."
  7. ^ "...Bill's singalong overpowers the cries of his victim."

Reception

edit
  • The Under the Radar and Time Out pieces are not cited
  •   Added.
  • "the best uses of songs in movies." → "the best usages of songs in films."
  • "remarking that they become" → "remarking they become"
  • "backwards in self-admiration."" → "backwards in self-admiration"." per MOS:QUOTE
  • "in other media."" → "in other media"."
  • "was "invariably associated with" the song." → "is "invariably associated" with the song."
  • "and called the scene" → "and labeled the scene"
  • "Vanity Fair's Tracy Moore wrote that the scene" → "Moore wrote that the scene"
  • "as Q "warbles" → "as Q Lazzarus "warbles"
  • "from what he is."" → "from what he is"."

  • "Demme included "Goodbye Horses" on" → "Demme included the song on"
  • Only the parody is sourced, not the dancing
  • "It also appeared" → ""Goodbye Horses" also appeared"

Legacy

edit
  • Maybe this could be merged with the below section and retitle that to Releases and legacy?

Releases and cover versions

edit
  • Img looks good!
  • Add more info about the Fan Death and Harlem covers per WP:SONGCOVER; if not, remove them and wikilink Fan Death to itself if kept
  •   Removed Harlem cover based on lack of info, added more about Fan Death cover and added the wikilink.
  • The inclusion on The Hunter is not sourced
  • Per WP:SONGCOVER, remove the Delta Mirror cover unless there is actual information and if kept, lowercase per MOS:THEMUSIC
  • "the single released by Mon Amie Records in 2013" → "the single, issued by Mon Amie Records in 2013,"
  • "in 2020 whose proceeds all went" → "in 2020, with proceeds all going"

References

edit
  • Wikilink Dazed on ref 1 instead on ref 2
  • Remove or replace ref 3 everywhere apart from reception per WP:RSP since it is owned by Bustle Media Group; remove the author too
  • Cite NPR as publisher instead on ref 5
  • Fix MOS:QWQ issues with refs 6, 10, 11, 12, 15, 26 and 35

Final comments and verdict

edit
  • ✓ Pass now, took some time but this has been cleaned up! --K. Peake 06:13, 26 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
    Psyche covered this song in 1995, and re-recorded it in 2009. it was subsequently released in 2012 on the renowned UK label Optimo for which a video was created that now has 3 million streams on YouTube, significantly more than any other version that came later. I have documents on the releases and they are easily found on Discogs, CD and vinyl as well as our YouTube channel and through various reviews and mentions on websites through the last 30 years. Unfortunately this history of Psyche has been removed from Wikipedia by later administrators. This is very unfortunate and creates a lack of trust on accuracy in Wikipedia. Which is certainly the intention of no one. I, Darrin Campbell Huss, singer and composer of the band Psyche (band) would truly appreciate help from the Wikipedia community in reinstating our contribution to the continuation of popularity of this song, as well as acknowledgement that our version was the first cover version. https://www.discogs.com/release/318559-Psyche-You-Ran-Away-Good-Bye-HorsesSincerely, Darrin www.psyche-hq.de Ghostchild (talk) 08:59, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]Reply
