Remix

I added information about the electro remix, sourced from http://www.htfr.com/more-info/MR225263 ...not sure if this is a proper source, so feel free to find/add a better one. Also this source does not credit the song to Rene Amesz but numerous others do.

Description

I added a little musical description of the song.The Chicken 23:49, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

YouTube Comment

In the article there is a passge that says "However, Kiedis is known to lose much of the quality of the song, much in his voice. This is easily seen by simply finding concert videos on Youtube". Is this comment about YouTube needed? Would it not be more generally informative if it were to say "by simply viewing videos from Red Hot Chili Peppers concerts". 82.45.187.59 19:17, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

By The Way played at concert

It states in this article that By the way is reserved as one of the last songs played at a red hot chili peper concert. This is not true as in the just recent austrailer/ New Zealand tour, this song was played realitvly in the middle. Im removing this comment for now, feel free to change it back if you have evidence to prove me wrong. ---

I think instead of "last song," it should be noted as last on the set list before the encores.

site: "http://www.stonecoldbush.com/component/option,com_gigtrackerdisplay/Itemid,4/"

This is a pretty popular fan site, and their set-list history is pretty extensive, compiled by fans who attended the concerts. For each Australian and New Zealand concert, "By The Way" is listed as the last song BEFORE THE ENCORE, and usually the 18th or 19th song, which would hardly put it in the middle. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.173.211.254 (talk) 14:46, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

actor for cab driver

Why was the fact that Dave Sheridan plays the cab driver removed? --85.126.128.10 19:34, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Bythewaysingle.jpg

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.

Orphaned references in By the Way (song)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of By the Way (song)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 03:20, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Move

05:39, 13 March 2017‎ Koavf talk contribs‎ 48 bytes +48‎ Koavf moved page By the Way (Red Hot Chili Peppers song) to By the Way (song) over redirect: unnecessary dab

But @Koavf: By the Way (Theory of a Deadman song) already existed in March 2017? This was presumably a good faith error. In ictu oculi (talk) 08:34, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Probably just thought of it as the most common song with the name. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 08:39, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but you agree now that it was a good faith mistake yes WP:DISAMBIGUATION ? (not making an issue of it, but assume there aren't too many more) In ictu oculi (talk) 08:48, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

By the Way (song) → By the Way (Red Hot Chili Peppers song) – Technically, this was contested. There are 2 other songs with articles. © Tbhotch^™ (en-2.5). 23:58, 12 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously speedy support/revert why was a technical request contested and where? While we're here, looking at By the Way (disambiguation) should the album really be on the baseline? In ictu oculi (talk) 08:31, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy move per IIO. Crouch, Swale (talk) 09:10, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support per WP:NCDAB and WP:SONGDAB, it is incomplete disambiguation and there are no primary topics for disambiguators. Lazz _R 18:09, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support - per above. ___CAPTAIN MEDUSAtalk 20:07, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom as a partial disambiguation. PC78 (talk) 16:45, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom, since it's a partial disambiguation. No clear primary topic for "By the Way" either. Paintspot Infez (talk) 02:30, 19 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
