The title of this Wikipedia page is incorrect. The song has always been called Jump in the Line (Shake, Senora) with no tilde over the n. For proof, look at the original album/single cover. Can someone please edit the title? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sunshine Kim (talk • contribs) 19:29, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I found a Jamaican newspaper article from 1948 that mentions this song being performed by Lord Fly, and it also asserts that the song is Trinidadian in origin so it could be significantly older than that. Belafonte is a hack. http://www.mentomusic.com/fly.htm 75.49.251.170 (talk) 22:36, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It was released on the album Jump Up Calypso, and was later featured in the the films, Beetlejuice and The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning.

{{edit semi-protected}} I think that Lord Kitchener (Aldwyn Roberts) was only a performer of the song "Jump In the Line". The authors are listed in the database http://www.ascap.com/ace/search.cfm?requesttimeout=300 (THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF COMPOSERS, AUTHORS AND PUBLISHERS) inserting the title of the song "JUMP IN THE LINE"

Writers: - BELAFONTE HARRY - DELEON RAFAEL CAIRI LLAMA - OLLER GABRIEL - SAMUEL STEVENSON C

Performers: - BELAFONTE H - CHERRY POPPIN DADDIES - HARRY BELAFONTE - HICKS T - TAYLOR HICKS Biagilu (talk) 08:21, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please be more specific about what needs to be changed. I can't understand what you want changed and to what. Thanks, Stickee (talk) 09:17, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The more I look into the history of this song, the more mysterious it becomes. This article claims that Kitchener won the road march with "Jump In The Line" in 1946, but many sources say there was no carnival in 1946: http://www.search.co.tt/trinidad/roadmarch/index.html and a transcript of a 1948 newspaper article at http://www.mentomusic.com/fly.htm calls it "the 1945 Trinidad Carnival song" and of course there apparently was no carnival in 1945, either. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.16.180.85 (talk) 01:34, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The summary column to the right of the main article begins with "Song by Harry Belafonte." While he did record the most famous version, it was written and first recorded by others. I don't know if this is the norm for song wiki entries or not. I guess none of Elvis's songs were "by" him either. Pciszek (talk) 20:30, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
