Scared (John Lennon song)

(

)

... that John Lennon believed that the Rolling Stones' 1978 hit "Miss You" was based on a speeded up version of his 1974 song "Scared"? Source: You know, I think Mick Jagger took the song and turned it into "Miss You". When I was in the studio, the engineer said: "This is a hit song if you just do it faster." He was right because "Miss You" is a fast version of my song. (Rogan, 1997)

Hi Rlendog (talk), review follows: article created from former redirect on 2 January; article exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to what look generally to be reliable sources; one query in this area, could you confirm what makes beatlesbible.com reliable? I couldn't find any info on the publishers; I didn't pick up any issues with overly close paraphrasing from the online sources, happy to AGF on the offline; hook fact is interesting, mentioned in the article and cited (offline), happy to AGF that the source supports it, quotations are given here and in the article; a QPQ has been carried out. If you could confirm back to me on the beatlesbible, there's nothing else holding this up - Dumelow (talk) 10:32, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

@Dumelow: I don't have any specific information to prove that the beatlesbible is reliable, but everything in the article that is sourced to beatlesbible is also sourced to at least one other definitely reliable source, so I don't think that should hold anything up. The beatlesbible makes for a convenient online source, since most of my sources are offline, and this way those who don't have access to my books can see the information that is in the books for themselves.

Hi Rlendog, if it is only being used as a supplementary source and everything is sourced to the offline works then that is fine for me - Dumelow (talk) 15:09, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

Comment: Shouldn't it be was based on a sped-up version, rather than was based on a speeded up version? — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 16:17, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

I'll defer to whoever knows the proper grammar on that. Or else we could just use "faster". Rlendog (talk) 17:48, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
