Happy Yet Apocalyptic
editIt is a terribly sweet song... yet there is a section of the lyrics that has an odd ring to it. "And Windy has stormy eyes that flash at the Son of Lies..."
Just throwing that out there. Don't know what to make of it (but lyrics seem to frequently not make any sense, anyway). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gingermint (talk • contribs) 05:12, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

"Rumor"?
editFrom the article"According to rumor, the original lyrics by Ruthann Friedman were about a man..." "According to rumor" seem an odd way to put it. On the demo (easily found on YouTube, and worth a listen, especially if you found the Association a bit too "poppy"), she clearly sang "Smiling at everybody he sees" (emphasis mine). Not exactly ambiguous as to gender. - Jmabel | Talk 04:55, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
Addition
editI can't beleive that this is missing the appearance of this song on Sesame Street. I beleive that it featured "Windy" flying around in a cape (or was that Grover) 69.45.100.129 (talk) 16:38, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
Very poorly written and researched.
editMusic pages usually go into more detail about the recording of the song. The very least important part is who covered this song and that seems to be the focus of this article. Needs a major revision Pookerella (talk) 17:47, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
The link from "Ruthann Friedman lyrics". Ruthannfriedman.com. Retrieved 2012-07-11. is dead. Ought to be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1002:B11D:5305:98E7:7C7B:55F4:12EB (talk) 20:16, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

– There is more than one topic with the title "Windy". 2601:8C:4581:4000:B12E:11F7:CFE0:1632 (talk) 04:13, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
- Support, although the song would be better moved to Windy (Association song). Since September 2018, the page view stats for the weather service are about the same as the song by the Association, suggesting there is no longer a primary article. +mt 08:30, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
- Support as Cherish (The Association song) cf Windy (Scarlet Pleasure song) In ictu oculi (talk) 14:03, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
- Support per nom. Don't know whether it should be "(The Association song)" or "(Association song)", but it should definitely be moved. Paintspot Infez (talk) 17:03, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
- Support as of late the weather service has more views (6,284 v 2,976)[[1]] and the generic Wind surely has long-term significance for this term even if unlikely in an encyclopedia. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:26, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
- Support per +mt, In ictu oculi, Paintspot Infez and Crouch, Swale. WP:NOPRIMARYTOPIC. As for the pop band's name, their official website confirms that it is "The Association", not simply "Association". —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 06:08, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

Windy (The Association song) → Windy (song) – Windy (Scarlet Pleasure song) is now a redirect and no other songs are listed at Windy#Music. If the Scarlet Pleasure song page is restored, this is still the clear PTOPIC per the vast gulf of notability between the two. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 08:24, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support unless the Scarlet Pleasure song is notable. IMO I'd use Windy (Association song) if not moved but apparently there was consensus against that. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:39, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
