Is the song still under copyright? Ifso, the lyrics should be deleted. Youngamerican 19:40, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Comments

• I don't think the quote marks in the first sentence of the lead are supposed to be bolded. I just changed it myself. See this other song GA for precedent (Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?)
• "wrote the words of a fight song" link fight song on first instance
• "Karll copyrighted the words to the song the same year he wrote them and began working with local musicians to compose sheet music for it." Perhaps change to "Packers song" here because the prior sentence talks about a different song.
• The body of the article says Welk owned the first recording but then the article starts talking about the Lumberjack Band owned it and then Welk bought it again? I read Ref 12 and it looks like Welk only owned it once. Suggest rearranging this section to make the timeline clearer for readers.
• "Go! You Packers Go!” was one of the earliest fight songs for an American football team" unlink both of these, already linked above
• Link touchdown in lead and body I guess?
• Image licensing looks good

Spot checks

• Ref 4 Article says "Karll, who was raised in Iowa, was a strong supporter and fan of the Packers." It doesn't look like the source is talking about Eric Karll. That part of the source is referring to his great nephew.
• Ref 7 looks good.
• Ref 8 looks good.
• Ref 12 looks good.

Nice work! ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 23:06, 3 July 2025 (UTC)

WikiOriginal-9 I think I got everything. Thanks! « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 15:57, 4 July 2025 (UTC)

Thanks. I still don't see in the source where it says Eric was a Packers fan. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 18:38, 4 July 2025 (UTC)

Bullet point 4 about Welk wasn't addressed either. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 18:41, 4 July 2025 (UTC)

WikiOriginal-9 sorry, not sure how I missed those. I reworked it a bit. I think the difference is the lyrics versus the first recording. Tried to make that clearer. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 20:26, 4 July 2025 (UTC)

( Article history links:

)

• ... that the Lumberjack Band first played Go! You Packers Go! in 1931, making it one of the earliest fight songs for a professional American football team?

• Source: "It is considered one of the oldest pro football fight songs. "Hail to the Redskins" was written in 1938, and "Bear Down, Chicago Bears" was composed in 1941."
