I was casually checking in on my Wikipedia article, as I do from time to time and read this:
“This article was nominated for deletion. The debate was closed on 01 May 2009 with a consensus to merge the content into the article Late Night with Conan O’Brien.”
The discussion page for this article calls “Late Night Cowboy” a “Non-notable song” and says it “isn’t really noatable [sic] enough to have it’s own article.”
Really? I have compiled a list of songs that aren’t nearly as “significant” as “Late Night Cowboy,” that also have Wikipedia articles: Row, Row, Row Your Boat, I Want a New Duck, Give Me the Keys (And I’ll Drive You Crazy), Harpua, The Best of Both Worlds, Rock Star, basically anything by Hannah Montana, Count Your Blessings Instead of Sheep, Wham Rap!, the theme from Ghostbusters, See You In My Nightmares… I could go on but I think I made my point.
The point is: if the above songs can get their own Wikipedia articles, then “Late Night Cowboy” – probably the most significant country-western song ever written by an Irish late night talk show host about falling in love with a sitcom mom – should definitely have its own article.

Since I got a town fountain last month, I tried to throw an axe into it to get a gold one. The first day, I wasn’t able to do it because the mayor was standing in front of the fountain. The second day, I couldn’t get one because the magical fairy who pops out of there said she was “all out” of golden axes. The third day, she took and kept my axe because I didn’t comment that she was wearing a different outfit from the day before. The fourth day, she again took and kept my axe even though I told her that there was a “Big Change!” in her outfit from the day before. For the next few days, the excuses as to why she’d not give me a gold axe ranged from running mascara to a skin rejuvenation appointment that she couldn’t miss.

After many, many more days of her complaining about the growing bump on her head from all the axe handles hitting it, things finally looked as though I’d be getting a gold axe, but, yet again, she was all out of gold axes. She did happen to have a few silver axes in stock, so I got one of those.

In the last month, I bought a silver slingshot. Tom Nook gets them in his store very rarely. I now have the regular slingshot, the silver slingshot, and the gold slingshot. An impressive accomplishment if I do say so myself.

I had my first run-in with Wisp, the genie-ghost-thing that has a fear of ghosts. I went through all the trouble of finding him (tip: he only comes out on Monday nights), finding his lamp, and running up to my attic where he feels most comfortable. After all this, I requested that he give me some material goods. All I got was a lousy set of bowling pins. I was hoping for/expecting something much better.

My town officially has zero trees. This is part of my project to remove all the trees in Coolton, so that I can be sure I planted every tree there. Right now, I’m enjoying the freedom of a town with no trees: there’s not much left to run into, fossils are now much easier to find, nothing blocks my view of the river when I’m trying to fish.

Also, I paid off the final loan on my house, and as a gift I was given a festive green flag with the Animal Crossing Logo on it. I can’t decide what I should change it to, if anything. I was thinking that I could make a flag with my Mii’s face on it, but that would take a while in the confines of the Animal Crossing logo-designing feature.

Twist And Shout
Why It Shouldn’t Be In: As great as this song is, it would be pretty easy in a Guitar-Hero-style game. It pretty much repeats the same thing over and over again until the solo which, I think, also wouldn’t be very difficult to play Guitar-Hero-style.
Why It Will Be In: It was one of the Beatles’s biggest hits from that era, and it’s one of their most recognizable songs even if they didn’t write it.

A Hard Day’s Night
Why It Shouldn’t Be In: Aside from the really cool solo, which I think would be great in a Rock Band game, the lead guitar does just about nothing in this song.
Why It Will Be In: They’ll probably put this in just for the guitar solo. I can’t think of a more famous Beatles guitar solo. Also, it might be kind of cool to have the player (on Expert skill level) hold down all five of the guitar buttons to hold down that famous opening chord. This would be mildly challenging because you only have four fingers to play with.

Help!
Why It Shouldn’t Be In: It has pretty much no lead guitar part.
Why It Will Be In: Again, it’s recognizable; people like this song. Also, they’ll probably throw it in to utilize the microphone: this song has one of the better vocal parts.

Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
Why It Shouldn’t Be In: It only has guitar parts at the beginning and at the end; the rest of the song is pretty much just the horns.
Why It Will Be In: It would still be the best song from the album of the same name to be included. They’ll probably want to put in a song from this album because it’s one of their most famous albums, and they don’t have many choices – what are they going to choose: “Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!”? “A Day in the Life”? Those songs have even less guitar parts than this one.

The Solution?…
It has already been announced that this game is going to include previously unreleased and/or/morphed with new material. The main problem with all the above songs is that they don’t have guitar parts throughout the song. What the makers of the game could do is put all of those solos into some sort of a medley song, and all their problems would be solved.
