"* is the basis for" generally implies that a much larger portion of the song, if not the entire song, is based on the first. For example, "A Lover's Concerto" (performed by The Supremes, etc.) is based on "Minuet in G" by JS Bach- although the time signature differs, the melody is the same throughout the entire song. In the example I give, "I Want a New Drug" is in no way 'based on' "Purple Haze", save for a couple measures thrown into the guitar solo at the end of the song. In this case the "quote" is a much shorter bit in a song that otherwise has nothing to do with the original. On some sites these are called "teases". > And if you want to have a recording‐work (because it’s only on a one‐off > performance) AR you can link to the borrowed work as /is a *partial* > recording of/. Yeah, I've been using the "partial live cover of" for that kind of thing- just wondered if there was a more appropriate wording for it. As for the "Interpolation (music)" wiki, the example given there of "Ghetto Superstar" using the melody from "Islands in the Stream", this isn't really a direct quote, and honestly seems to me to be more of a "based on" relationship, since the chorus of GS directly uses the melody from IitS, but with different words. Perhaps "quote" and "interpolation" (and any others deemed appropriate) could be sub-categories of the "based on" relationship. _______________________________________________ MusicBrainz-style mailing list MusicBrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
