– The album derives its name from the song, which came first, so the names should be swapped to avoid recency bias. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 23:57, 22 June 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 00:13, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

• Oppose: The album is 30 years old, and the song is less than 70 years old, so there isn't a very obvious recentism problem. Being a little older or having one name derived from another does not make the older one automatically primary. Readers appear to be more interested in the album than the song by a pageview ratio exceeding 2:1. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 00:45, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

  If but only if we can't agree on primary topic, per Wikipedia:TWODABS. Andrewa (talk) 06:31, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

  If we can't agree, don't things stay the way they are? —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 07:11, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
