• ... that the Muddy Waters song "Long Distance Call" contains blue notes, the exploitation of migration, and a warning that "another mule [is] kickin' in your stall"?

• I have no idea what it means for song to "contain exploitation of migration". EEng (talk) 03:26, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

• I believe, EEng, that "migration" means Great Migration (African American). George Ho (talk) 06:24, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

• ALT1:... that Muddy Waters' 1951 blues song, "Long Distance Call," was inspired by Blind Lemon Jefferson's 1929 song, "Long Distance Moan"?

• If the original hook is too confusing, perhaps use ALT1 then. George Ho (talk) 06:39, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

I'm not trying to be difficult, but what does it mean for a song to be "originated from" another song? A does it mean adapted? Based on? I'm serious. This makes no sense. EEng (talk) 07:00, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

Changed to inspired. George Ho (talk) 07:42, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

That at least makes sense. EEng (talk) 11:47, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

• Full review needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:55, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

• Article is long enough and new enough. ALT1 is approved, not the original hook, which I have struck. The hook is appropriately cited inline to an online source. Checks reveal no evidence of copyvio or close para-phrasing. Good to go. Harrias ^talk 14:35, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
