Talk:Kuroneko no Tango

Name of article

If this is originally an Italian song, why is the Japanese name the title of the article? 93.106.8.39 (talk) 20:22, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

Because the Italian version is not notable: it came third in a minor song contest in 1969. The Japanese version is notable: it sold 3 million copies. See Wikipedia:Notability (music). jnestorius^(talk) 23:01, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

I'm confused. I only know of the Italian song, so too was baffled by the title. Is the Japanese version that really more notable? Commercial success alone doesn't really count for much - especially if it's just 3 million copies sold in Japan. Google trends shows more people looking for the Italian title than the Japanese. https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&geo=US&q=Kuroneko%20no%20Tango,Volevo%20un%20gatto%20nero JAYFAX (talk) 21:28, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

I second this. While it originally came third, it's arguably the most popular song from the Zecchino d'Oro (which isn't really "minor" contest by any means, it's broadcast every year on the flagship channel of the national TV).

On a side note, is the section about Pastorelli criminal record/legal troubles/whatever really relevant to the page about a song she performed when she was 4? To me feels like dropping somewhere in the middle of the page about Hunt for Red October something like "By the way, did you know Baldwin also shot someone in 2021 and may be now facing involuntary manslaughter charges? Now you know...". DanieleQ97 (talk) 23:39, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

This tango was popular also in Finland, called Mustan kissan tango

Mustan kissan tango (Black Cat's Tango) received lyrics in Finnish by Saukki (Sauvo Puhtila) and was performed by twins Jaana and Tiina Tynell. 193.210.161.118 (talk) 10:45, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
