Is there a hyphen in this song's name?

On the back of the original Pearl LP (which I own and have just looked at), this song is listed as "Mercedes Benz". Similarly, in Joel Whitburn's reference book Album Cuts 1955-2001, the song's name is listed without the hyphen, and Whitburn is usually a stickler for this sort of thing. Unless someone has a good source with a hyphen, I recommend that we remove the hyphen. (I'm only talking about the name of the song, of course; this has nothing to do with how the car manufacturer spells the car's name.) Eric-Albert 15:41, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've moved the page to what I believe to be the correct name, and fixed most of the links to it. Eric-Albert 23:16, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

why did someone screw this article up?

It was fine in the beginning. I'm thinking about reverting. It looks messy. PrinceCharming 22:04, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A few good reasons to remove the "Jeppe opera" from the list of covers: There are 41 releases of this song according to http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=17:978117~T00G and I count the number of covering artists to 30. The Jeppe opera isn't even listed at allmusic as being released as a record so either it isn't recorded or it's not wide spread - can it really even be counted as a cover version then? I also note that the person who created the Jeppe opera page at wikipedia (Scottandrewhutchins) is the same person who added the information here on Jeppe.

I will not remove it though, I will just cut the information down to 1 line instead of 3, I think that's more than enough. Anyone with an interest in this opera could follow the internal link. DavidGGG 18:05, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This song is often misheard

as "Mercy dispense" or something, especially from German listeners who don't realize how "Mercedes-Benz" could be pronounced by Americans. [1] [2] There is even a christian rock group "Mercy Dispense" in Austria. [3] --84.115.129.76 (talk) 12:27, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
