Subject: Question re: Sorting songs by performer
Written By: Tommy Turtle on 11/01/07 at 12:40 am
The Barbra Streisand parody, "Woman In Mall" http://www.amiright.com/parody/80s/barbrastreisand2.shtml, spelled Streisand's name the way she has spelled it since 1960: "Barbra" (versus "Barbara"). Kind of curious how, in "Parodies by performer", it got listed under "Barbara..." http://www.amiright.com/parody/performers/b/barbarastreisand.shtml instead of "Barbra..." http://www.amiright.com/parody/performers/b/barbrastreisand.shtml.
Doesn't a bot automatically sort these from the names of the performers as submitted in the parody? Just curious! :-)

There's a file with misspellings in it, to help put stuff in the proper categories. It hasn't been updated in ages, but I'm guessing the person who used to handle that might have filed it incorrectly (not knowing Streisand spelt her name differently.
