Copyrighted?[edit]

How can this possibly be copyrighted? Move to commons, add SVG tag I say --83.233.201.95 (talk) 13:01, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You would actually have to argue how it is not. If one does not acknowledge the source then the image may very well be original research. See Wikipedia:No original research.Hyacinth (talk) 01:08, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The last two bars of the melody are wrong[edit]

The best sources I can find so far:

https://www.mfiles.co.uk/scores/pop-goes-the-weasel.htm
https://www.musicyoucanread.com/SONGS/02-POPGO.html (sheet music is obscured but relevant bars are visible)

Our version gives the last bar ("Pop! Goes the weasel") as A (rest) D D E C. This does not match the audio used with it in (among other places) the English Wikipedia page for melody: .

This version is A (rest) D F E C. This matches my memory of the classic tune, and the sources I just cited, whereas playing this version does not. I am aware of the mandela effect, and I am happy to accept I could be wrong. But I do not believe this version is cited at all, it was just published as a good-faith attempt to transcribe the traditional melody, and it does seem that the only sources I can find that are not just copying Wikimedia commons agree with me. I can use MuseScore, so I am more than happy to make an updated version myself, but I think that replacing an image that is used on multiple different Wikipedias without discussion might be a bit too bold.
