Tomorrow (Charles Strouse and Martin Charnin song) → Tomorrow (song from Annie) – WP:CONCISE (with Annie to be italicized, per MOS:T and MOS:ITALIC) Relisted Calidum ^{Talk To Me} 01:30, 19 June 2014 (UTC) — Jaydiem (talk) 23:01, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

• Oppose, on the face of it - WP:CONCISE is only one of the 5 WP:CRITERIA and CONSISTENCY, with what Wikipedia:WikiProject Musical Theatre usually do would seem against this. Ping me if anyone knows otherwise. In ictu oculi (talk) 00:51, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

• In reference to the five criteria for choosing article titles given at WP:NC: Recognizability, Naturalness, Precision, and Conciseness all clearly favor this proposal. How many ordinary people with an interest in this song have ever heard of Charles Strouse and Martin Charnin, as opposed to the musical Annie? How likely are they to search for or recognize the song by using those men's names, as opposed to the name of the musical? Remember, our audience is the general public, not musical-theater experts. — Jaydiem (talk) 04:25, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

• Jaydiem - the problem is that we don't do (song from FOO) dabs. In ictu oculi (talk) 00:09, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

• Well, maybe we should. It wouldn't be the first time that "(X from Y)" were used as a disambiguator. Consider the following examples:

• Q (programming language from Kx Systems)
• Li Jian (footballer from Shenyang)
• Zhang Ji (poet from Hubei)
• Von der Leyen (family from Krefeld)
• Love Makes the World Go 'Round (song from Carnival!)
• Blom (family from Skien)
• Zhang Ji (poet from Jiangnan)
• More (Punk magazine from Belgium)

Although I think "(song from Annie)" would be the best choice, I could also accept "(Annie song)", or even just "(Annie)", as preferable to the present title. — Jaydiem (talk) 07:52, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

*Oppose because the proposed target is capitalized wrong - should be (Song...). Comment only. Musical theatre songs appear to be a mess. Some are disambiguated by year and others by Song (Musical song) which would appear to suggest Tomorrow (Annie song) is the correct target. There is an automated notification of this RM over at the project and it would be nice if somebody from there could enlighten us. NB Once the guidelines are met as I understand them I would remove my oppose in any event. --Richhoncho (talk) 06:14, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

• The capitalization of "song" is correct as proposed, per WP:TITLEFORMAT, because it is not part of a proper name. The disambiguation term format "({Name} song)" is, I believe, intended to be used with {Name} as the song's composer or artist. In this case, where the song is much more likely to be recognized in reference to the show it's part of than to the names of its composers, it seems to me that "(song from Annie)" is more natural-sounding than "(Annie song)" — but opinions on that may differ, and I'm not aware of a specific applicable guideline to picking one over the other. — Jaydiem (talk) 18:16, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

Thanks. Too much sun and confusing titles with disambiguators. Have amended my comment accordingly.--Richhoncho (talk) 13:57, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

• Support - not only more concise, but also more natural and, to be honest, more common. Red Slash 20:14, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

@Red Slash. Certainly not more common, in Category:Songs from musicals there are 147 entries: 4 by artist, 3 by year, 1 by producer, 2 by songwriter, 4 musical song, 1 Song from musical and 2 just plain "musical", whereas show tune stubs has 191 members, 1 by artist, 11 by year, 6 by songwriter, 1 by musical song and one by just plain "musical." Obviously not a scientific survey and open to interpretation, but as a random selection proves to be that (Song from Annie) would NOT be more common. Cheers.--Richhoncho (talk) 14:58, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

I apologize for my imprecision. It is more common, while admittedly a little less common. It's a priority check and for me UCN beats consistency. Red Slash 04:11, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

@Red Slash. We all make mistakes, as I have done above. I am sure you will listing for RMs all those that do not meet your version of WP:UCN. --Richhoncho (talk) 00:08, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

• Support The COMMONNAME of this song is something like, "Tomorrow, you know, that (optional: annoying or delightful) song from Annie", so it is logical to use as the best disambiguating term "(song from Annie)". The song is almost always mentioned in connection with the musical, as it is the signature piece of the main character; the song is rarely mentioned in connection with the writers.

Citation of influence by There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow

Whoever wrote this section, says that it is LIKELY there was influence from Great Big Beautiful, and asks the readers to compare. This causes ANY reader, to immediately see the similarities. So IMHO the "citation needed" should be removed. If anybody contests the similarity, please say so, I believe there will be none.פשוט pashute ♫ (talk) 00:34, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

A couple that sing Annie's Tomorrow in funny way

I saw a movie somewhere with a couple that come to adopt a kid (or is it in some other part of Annie itself?) and they sing Tomorrow in a hilarious way. It is NOT the movie David, (where a couple sing this to the cops that stop the driver for not obeying a traffic sign, a scene mentioned in the WP article here). Anybody knows what I'm referring to?פשוט pashute ♫ (talk) 01:13, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
