Talk:Recitation song

Good examples?

I've just added a few references and wikilinks to this article. I'm not familiar with the genre, but it seems as though some of these aren't particularly good examples of recitations. The Americans (commentary), for example: this is hardly even a musical piece at all, and almost no one refers to it as a "recitation" in the same sense as the other songs. There are several other songs which seem to not be considered particularly notable as recitation songs, and some very well-known recitations don't appear here. I'm reluctant to be especially bold here due to my lack of expertise -- maybe someone who knows more about the genre can improve the examples? —Tim Pierce (talk) 17:17, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
