Kiss the road - TO or OF?? (Track 16)

I see a potential edit war occuring here! Is it "Kiss the Road OF" or "Kiss the Road TO"? I think it has to be OF. The original Finn Brothers album shows the title to be OF (and it is their song!) - iTunes and Amazon both agree. Confusingly EMI's Australian website ("The sound from way out") and the Cd's facebook page both say TO. I haven't managed to find the album's back cover on the web, but even if it did say TO, you could still argue that the album itself was wrong! Iangurteen (talk) 13:41, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I own the album and the track is listed with "of" on the reverse, in the liner notes and in the ID3 tags on the CD. Additionally, as you mentioned, the original album used the word "of", and the song is about Tim Finn's motorcycle accident in Rarotonga (hence "kissing the road"). Finally, seeing as Rarotonga is an island, I would be skeptical of their being any roads leading "to" it. ItsDaveJay (talk) 16:11, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds pretty conclusive! I think you should go ahead and change it back then. Iangurteen (talk) 07:30, 27 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

More fuel to the fire? Consider Australasian Performing Rights Association (APRA) which has the Finn Brothers registering the song as "Kiss the Road to Raratonga" (note spelling of place name) with ID No.GW10764711 (See here). It has two aliases displayed, "Kiss the Road of Raratonga" and "Kiss the Road of Rarotonga". APRA searches using the 'of' variants lead back to the 'to Raratonga' title. I argue that the APRA registered name is the official name of the song and this is a more reliable source (for a song's name) than the other sources considered in discussion above. The song's writers have registered it as "Kiss the Road to Raratonga" and so we should use this title. Since this is nearly a month after the above discussion I'm willing to wait for a week before making this change – unless consensus is against such change.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 04:27, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is my last contribution to this debate as we should probably all have something better to do! This album AND the Finn album both say "Kiss the Road of Rarotonga" - so thats good enough for me! Iangurteen (talk) 15:57, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
