Regarding the B-Side(s)of this single
[edit]I Can't See Nobody was the flipside of this song in the USA and Canada.It wasn't Close Another Door.I know this because I have the single in my collection.I just thought that I would clear that up.Frschoonover (talk) 16:20, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
Da steht ja noch nicht mal die Jahreszahl der Veröffentlichung! Claus P. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.134.19.104 (talk) 06:24, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
Roughly translated, this means "There does not stand yet the year of the issue!" But Mr.P, the year that this record was issued is actually stated and it was 1967. The song was actually, albiet loosely, about the 1966 Aberfan mining disaster in Wales where over 200 young children were crushed to death when the mine collasped.
I hope that this clears everything up.Frschoonover (talk) 02:12, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
In the event of something happening to me...
[edit]Was there actually such an event as the New York Mining Disaster of 1941? If not, what is the story behind the choice of title? Drutt (talk) 04:39, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
Look above in the subject about the single's B-side(s). That will answer your questions. I hope that it also helps.Frschoonover (talk) 23:37, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
British???
[edit]Why does the first paragraph of this article say that the BeeGees were British? I doubt they'd have said that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.57.113.110 (talk) 03:41, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
- Is this abt whether they are/were English or Welsh? "British" is about citizenship & reflects the laws of G.B.; ethnicity or personal sympathies are less clearly defined -- and usually only in special cases distinct enuf for verfiability or for encyc interest.

Double sentence
[edit]One instance if this sentence should be sufficient, not 2: In the movie Cucumber Castle – the movie that the Bee Gees starred in minus Robin Gibb – Maurice's character begins to sing this song while playing the banjo, only to end abruptly when a pie is thrown at his face. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.81.219.190 (talk) 11:17, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

"Have You Seen My Wife, Mr. Jones?"
[edit] Granted that WP is unsuited to providing lyrics, that presumably mis-cased line has log been my assumption as to what the title was ( ... along with my true or false memory of the next line as reading "Do you know what it's like, on the outside looking in?", and my obviously false assumption that the fictional speaker is a long-term patient on a psychiatric ward...).
In fact, there's a "July 12, 2014" article saying 'Most people still refer to it by its subtitle “Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones"'. Surely a mention and a RDR are called for.
