I think that you are being too literal
@Martinevans123: in removing this song from the "Automobile" category. The song is not about a bike trip. A better candidate to go would be Born to be Wild, which is typically considered to be a motorcycle song. Please reconsider your edit. Carptrash (talk) 17:43, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
@Martinevans123: My objection has nothing to do with bad edits other editors might have made at other articles. To me the song is clearly about a car trip, read how the song was written, and belongs in the category. Like you I don't (or rarely do) edit war and figure that if what is obvious to me is not so to you, well you are an experienced editor so I don't get to veto your decision.

Oh well, whatever. To me the song "Route 66" is about a road, or even just a route, and then also, only by association, with any kind of motor transport. Yes, ok "Bobby Troup got the idea for the song on a cross-country drive", but he could have been driving a bus. The fact that "automobiles" or "cars" or "Cadillacs" etc., etc., are never mentioned in the lyrics at all, suggests strougly to me that the song is not necessarily about automobiles.

Yes, the song is about the road and not the vehicle which is where I come in with the "too literal" thing. So this is where we agree to disagree. Carptrash (talk) 18:57, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
This is a bulleted list. You'd expect each bullet to be an instance of a single recorded rendition. Instead, under the Rolling Stones entry, we find Chuck Berry and Perry Como. Huh? Why don't they get their own bullets? I thought that was the point of a bulleted list, otherwise how was it decided that the Rolling stones get a bullet but Chuck Berry doesn't? 2600:1700:A7AF:E000:7597:7D96:8106:FC22 (talk) 06:28, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
