Talk:Magic Bus (song)

Comments

I work at a hospital, and when we take a body to the morgue, we call the morgue cart (that carries the body) the Magic Bus. I was introduced to this song via this metaphor, and it changed the meaning of the lyrics. I thought I would pass this along. Enjoy the ride. t —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.252.230.128 (talk) 01:04, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Why does it redirect you to The Who discography when you write in Magic Bus to the search instead of this pageBauerPower 16:33, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

I read this article and was very perplexed. It decribes a song I've never heard although I've heard "Magic Bus" quite often. The song I know is the rider wanting to buy the bus from the driver and doing so. I looked up the lyrics and found them as described in the article, but I'd never heard that version of the song. Where can the version that describes this reverse auction be found? It seems that the article should reflect these different versions. [[SamuellusSoccus 00:05, 15 October 2007 (UTC)]]

A relation must exist between this song and the Magic Buses in UK. Did Stagecoach take the name from the song? Look here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Bus_%28Stagecoach%29 . Neither the relation or non relation is mentioned. I would like to know more about that :-) . Thanks in advance! -- (My wikipedia profile is german) Mukundi (talk) 14:00, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Who bus.jpg

Image:Who bus.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.

Magic Bus (song) → Magic Bus – The disambiguation is unnecessary. Hoops gza (talk) 02:22, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

• Oppose Magic Bus is a disambiguation page. The disambiguation page should be restored to the primary position that it was at before you moved it off just before you requested this move. -- 65.92.181.190 (talk) 04:08, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
• Support yeepsi (Time for a chat?) 14:16, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
• Oppose. IP address above has it right above. Also differentiates between other "Magic Bus" Who products. --Richhoncho (talk) 14:28, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
• Support. The "disambigution" parenthetical should not be removed from the title of the DAB page since this clarifies the purpose of the page. Kauffner (talk) 15:47, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

Why is there no mention of the fact that Pudding had released a version of "Magic Bus" before The Who? – Dyolf87 (talk) 09:08, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
